I'd say yes. I just read up to Ch 49. I initially read for the smut. I was in the mood for the kind that's just explicit and even just PwP. But I stumbled into this one.
It was refreshing for me. I was not expecting to miss this type of smut. Have you ever read historical smut books back in the day? It reads similar especially with the sex scenes.
I dunno, the way how they portrayed the sex scenes like softcore porn did a number on me. The tension is there, and it's just so sensual. I guess I got sick of all the dick in pussy shots from recent smut bordering hentai. Hahaha.
The art is a bit questionable especially in the first chapters but it does get so much better. The ML still looks too shoujo, but I can deal with it.
The plot line so far is interesting. But it's still the type that's easy to predict, but still enjoyable.
I hope you pick this one up.

is this worth the read?
