8/10 <— to be confirmed. Quite early to judge.
Art: Very good
Characters: Good
Strong, stoic and ambitious FL who has minimal experience in romance, paired with a Confident and dominant thrill seeking ML.
Story: Common but entertaining.
Setting centralises around corporate succession, where characters compete over CEO position, where marriage with someone with high success and reputation uplifts the characters chances of obtaining the position.
7/10
Art: Good
Characters: Good.
FL is likeable, and is partially healthy in a sense where she wants to ensure comfort in the ML, and confront issues that arise between them. ML exhibits avoidant behaviours despite being the clingy, expressive, and initiative type.
Story: Ok
The story is quite typical. Involving mother related trauma and step parent issues. Story is mainly about the ML’s backstory, and how that influences the entire plot and dynamic between the FL and ML.
5-6/10
Art: Ok
Characters: Ok
Characters do have some depth in them, but not enough to be entirely engaging.
Story: Ok
Story is rather typical, containing common tropes and themes that occur in this genre of graphic novels. Is moderately entertaining, but doesn’t contain any plot that stands out. Plot excitement fluctuates and may not consistently be highly engaging.
8/10
Art: Decent
Characters: Good
FL has a lot more depth that it may seem. People may find her relatable in a sense where they may lack a sense of direction. Male lead has some underlying depth, where he holds potential hurt and promises from past experiences, therefore guiding his drive to achieve his percievable goal.
Plot: Good
Is simple but written and expressed in a engaging way. Where the story reveals the characters hidden thoughts, insecurities, and desires.
6-7/10
Art: Decent
Characters: Ok
FL and ML are likeable. FL isn’t typical which is nice to see, and ML is quite the soft and nerdy character. Except he is quite jealous and expresses his possessiveness in a rather childish manner.
Plot: Ok
Includes very common plot settings and themes in university settings. The story is more focused on the intrapersonal conflicts and dynamics between the characters.
7-8/10
Art: Good
Characters: Good
Involves a lot of character development, internal conflcits and complexities.
Plot: Decent to Good
Includes a lot of royalty drama that is very engaging and entertaining. However, towards the end of the story, the engagement starts to diminish.

May have some bias here, but the way this was written is very well done on a psychological level. While it is extreme, the way they portray revenge, and express the FL’s internal thoughts is done adequately. The differentiating ML’s convey and symbolise different pathways the FL has internal conflict with. Containing her struggle to engage in healthier alternatives, against her comfort in revenge and externalising her insecuriti
Let’s be real. We read this for the “plot”. lol
7-8/10
Characters: Good
FL is very likeable in regards to personality. How she treats her robot is understandable in terms of potential disposal, due to the ML literally being a robot with assumed non-consciousness.
Plot: To be confirmed.
It’s too early to know where the plot will lead. However, it will be interesting to see what she will do with the robot later. Whether she will keep it or treat it as human or whatever
6-7/10
Art: Decent
Characters: Ok
Story: Ok or to be confirmed later.
The theme ideas in this story are quite generic and involve a lot of provocative themes. It seems that the FL has used particular methods to achieve certain goals, or perhaps was a coping mechanism (I don’t completely recall), and is now dealing with the consequences of that, attracting unwanted people. Other than dealing with other issues relating to competitive boxing.
