this low rating is bullshit and has nothing to do with the content of the story. the lead is a woman who got into relationships with shitty men who are married because she was hurt so bad in the past by unfaithful men and so she purposely seeks out unavailable unfaithful men so she wont fall in love again and get hurt. this is imo an interesting set up and if u dont like that then...dont read the story? people low rating the story just because they dont like the morals of the female protaganist which is told from the SUMMARY is SUCH misogynistic nonsense. the irony that this has a lower rating than so many rapey TL stories with female leads that have like almost no internal life or personality beyond acted upon by their "love" interests. (like the amount of rage over this fictional woman is honestly disturbing to me...why yall SO pressed srsly?) ANYway here's an Actual Review about the actual Story: firstly this isnt smut, there's sex but its hardly shown this is just a josei love story. its imo very grownup but only PG-13 so if ur wanting fap material u wont find it in this. it was so nice to see such a respectful and sweet love interest. gosh remember those? i cant remember the last het manga i read that had a male lead i genuinely liked instead of...tolerated. tho thats partly my fault for mainly reading the smutty ones, smh. i suspect more josei mangas like this are less Problematic and shallow but anyway, i liked this alot! and I DO recommend it if the setup isnt a total turn off for you then dive right in. the only real criticism i have is that it's too short! i would have loved to see their relationship evolve over time but it at least did end on a very sweet hopeful message and affirmations of love. i love when a female character is allowed to be loved and validated even tho she's not perfect and made mistakes in the past. like she's not unaware that she's doing bad things and she hates herself and thinks she's a bad person but she's unable to get over her fear of being abandoned. rather than being the woman whose cheated on she chose to be the one whose cheated with. This entire story is about her learning to open her heart again and change her "homewrecker" ways. and like here's the thing, these men would've cheated anyway, they were triflin' ass bastards and she herself thinks men will ALWAYS cheat she's def going with the belief that these men would cheat with whatever lady approached them. and with guys who DO cheat they probably would've! (no ofc not all men cheat but if she believed that she wouldnt be living like she does). this idea that she's the devil basically implies that these men would've been faithful upstanding husbands if this harlot hadnt come and seduced them with her succubus like aura. Anyway the lead is just a regular woman/OL who has relationship baggage and is also really good at her job. she's smart and capable and her love interest falls in love with her because he admires her deeply. i LOVE when love from a man to a woman is based on admiration. well love based on admiration in general is great but its so rare to get it in het couples i find. there's always the need to make the man more amazing and the one out of the woman's league or the guy is a dbag who "loves" her but still insults her constantly or demeans her. anyway this guy is really mature and kind and thoughtful and i was rooting them to be together SO much. i do like that she hasnt been Cured of her baggage just that she's made the decision to change and allow herself to engage in a healthy relationship with a loving commited partner. anyway if u want some short and sweet, vanilla, het love story this is honestly more than worth the very little amount of time it would take to read it.
