It's like, initially it was going not too bad. A bland start, but I did think it was quite comedic, which was nice and I thought that it would continue down that path where it's two teachers bickering over some one sided love and stuff but NO it did not, it went through such a turn that I got a bit taken aback.
The progression overall was to say, pretty shitty. There are so much more ways that this could've been written to showcase the depth of their intentions further and at least give us something to justify their actions a bit but tbh it's almost just a linear sad backstory + savior plotline, making the read feel pretty shallow considering the stuff they've done to each other up till the end. What's worse is the resolution. They all recovered way too quick. They all just flew by the problems that seems like it would take much more time to resolve. I did like that Imarin had a bit more of complexity in his thoughts compared to the others, even if tbh in the end it was meh but still.
There's also Shion and Takahashi that seems like they turned a genuine fucked up action into more of a comedic/ irrelevant part of the plot. Like fym "I made you drink aphrodisiac and forced you to @ss@ult me and recording it" in one panel and after that it was treated like it was nothing what like??? Is Takahashi genuinely lobotomized or something, cause both his and Shion's writing is ass and tbh it would've been better if they had zero dynamic and stayed separate instead of romanticizing and surfing past whatever the hell possibly even went on with them.
WE ALL PRAYED FOR TIMES LIKE THIS.
Cattleya loml
Also Nagisa being an old man is so funny but it makes so much sense looking back at it lol
Bet she's the second coming of Mitsuri Kanroji: crazy strong on the surface, delicate flower on the inside.
Oh buddy I don't even know where to start
In hindsight, there were definitely some unwanted themes such as glitterified SA, and implied cheating but aside from those I cannot deny the comedy in ts, they're funny ngl
Also bro the main characters are so hot omfg and their dynamic is genuinely just made for each other I adore them
PAUSE BEFORE I GET JUMPED, I absolutely adored them and their dynamic is great, the smut scenes are high tier too!
It's just that from a reader's perspective, the plot seemed dull so much so that instead of getting that cuteness and fluff effect, it just felt kinda empty iykwim. Insanely, and even that is an understatement, RUSHED. Ultra levels of rushed cause imma js say the plot is borderline ass if it weren't for them working out together in the end.
Regardless, it's not the worst read so I'm not gonna ramble too much about it. The artstyle is such eye candy and the characters themselves are adorable (especially our cute boy MC!).
Imagine all the things you could do bro holy shit this might just be a genius concept bro
YO I KNEW SOMETHING WAS UP WITH THESE MFS BRO
I'm actually gonna crash if Nagi turns out to be an old ass witch with a young face cause UGHHH whatever son
Yo I gotta admit this was such a funny read + Jesse and Taehui low-key cute as hell
Also I genuinely read thru everything thinking the host is gonna get cracked at one point but I guess we can't always get what we want
I like this a lot, a lot of their interactions might freak out or cringe a lot of ppl out, but I like the fact that they're BOTH the ones doing those actions and not just one of them being a bitchass to the other (they're bitchasses for each other).
The tall bottom x shorter top was so hot bro, and they REEEAAALLY be showing off their kinks in this one shamelessly LMAOO. The side stories are actually also rlly good, the fact that it was all acting didn't really affect my initial impression of it surprisingly, but rather just an add in to the depth of each of their characters.
Overall, this wasn't a bad read. It's definitely refreshing after I just read multiple awful stories in a row!
