I finished this in one night. The tone swings between comedy and serious moments, which is off, but the art elevated the story. Most CN manhua has slow pacing, so I though this was a KR manhwa at first.
I agree with the comments that the SA was unnecessary, especially since the ML changes later anyway, and so abruptly at that. The MC also suddenly falls in love with him. I liked the fast pacing of the plot, but both the romance and character development needed more buildup. A slower burn would've made this better, despite the toxic dynamic.
I'm glad others noticed the author's tendency to write couples with uncomfortable age gaps. We have two couples here with that. Yet the MC and the interpol guy barely look any older after the timeskip. This is something I often notice in CN manhua. I think it reflects the unhealthy beauty standards and obsession with looking youthful. You'll notice it if you're into danmei and wuxia too.
I think the author would do better with a comedy-focused BL since the chibi extras are cute and funny.
But, again, I was entertained enough that I finished this in one night. And that's mainly because of the art. If the art isn't that good I'm sure this will be rated much lower. So kudos to the artist's skills, they made this feel premium despite all its flaws.
