9.5/10 complete
I liked it a lot, less SM then I want (always) but it is just 2 little cinnamon rolls breaking each other and then the healing comes and it is sweet and satisfying.
Kinda bummed where it ended, needed closure for everyone imo
10/10
Reread, it turns from pretty twisted rape to very vanilla. Then outright adorable and then a pretty healthy take on SM relationships. It isn't done yet but this is for real one if my favorite stories with well developed characters who experience actual character arcs.
See where it ends up

Omg, this is what I want in Manhwa
Real bondage, real consent around bondage, real mental illness (with recovery!!!), baby bottom who is made of steel and is the bestest boy (I hope they deal with his trauma in side stories)

Cute and the play was more realistic then most though the drama for the storyline felt forced.
Not my favorite art but some of the facial expressions were adorable.

I am conflicted. The BDSM was really good except when it wasn't. They cut scene so many plays that they only talk about or briefly mention. *spoiler* the isekai and loop was odd but did pull it together. Worth reading but it probs isn't making it to your top 10.
