Are we just handing them out so long as the story doesn't contain sexual assault or rape?
Cuz while everyone is a green flag here, it's just not that good of a story. The world building is meh and spotty at best. I will always dock points for a tail coming out of the middle of the spine too...... I think the biggest issue with this story is just how extremely narrow it is. The pacing wasn't great but I feel like that also boils down to this incredibly narrow story. The entire story is almost nothing but these two characters in this one apartment. The other characters are barely more than off screen plot devices. You barely glimpse any settings outside of the one apartment. It doesn't make for good story telling.
The characters also just aren't consistent. Why is it that Dodong always has his cat ears and tail? No other character is like that. I guess just to make him more cute? Why does Dodong act way more animal like than anyone else? (It's almost like the author was like, "I want to bang my cat, but if only they could turn human.... That would be a GREAT story idea!) Also the shifters seem to spend way too much time in animal form, because they can't actually communicate more than basic things through body language. Especially with other species. Society cannot function like that. (Also, hello animal abusing director?????)
The writing suggests a more novice writer. As far as the sex, the story spends way too much time building up to it, and then seems to suddenly jump a bunch of steps and just splats it into the story in a rather forceful way right after the MC was like, "He's obviously not ready, I'll keep restraining myself." He'd been keeping a ton of space, not even kissing or getting handsy and then BOOM, though sex. You get one sex scene, and then it's off screen irrelevant drama that gets wrapped up immediately as well and then end of story. It just wasn't a particularly compelling read.
Art is good, writing is extremely mid, characters are all big green flags. I wouldn't give this above an 8.0-8.2 at best though. And that's only because the art is good and the characters are green.
