Hmmm. I read the raws, and I'm... disappointed (?) by the lack of drama, lol. Idk, feels like the seme has red flags left and right and nothing changed to him aside from him "falling in love" with the uke. Which you can't even fully discern if he's in love or it's just because it's his first time losing the "game". He only realizes his feelings in ch 4 after getting hard-rejected, his friends even had to point it out. But all the way from ch 1 to ch 3, he barely even cares about the uke. Like bruh, he got rejected in ch 3 and his first instinct is to fuck another guy (understandable, it's his first time not fucking anyone for weeks so his libido is high af), and when the uke learns about it, he just straight up lies THEN harasses the uke. Smdh. The dude he fucks in the first chapter shows up again to stir some trouble in the last chapter, but they all just resolve it with "nah, he loves me, i love him, nuff said", no drama at all. Idk, I kinda expected more rejection from the uke and the seme actually stopping from fucking anyone as a rebound because he got rejected. I imagine that one day, if the uke isn't in the mood to fuck, the seme will just fuck another dude without batting an eye.

If this was just ch 4 and 5, I would've given a higher rate (ch 4 and 5 are non-romance btw). But ch 1 and 2 are cliche and bland. Ch 3 is a bit good and unexpected. ch 1 is about time-travel. Too open-ended to judge ngl. You could guess what happened, but you aren't really given any hints about it. 2/10 ch 2 feels like a savior-syndrome ngl. Girl just gets close to guy because he's a loner (though also because he helped her realize her "boyfriend" is a playboy). 3/10 ch 3 is good...? I liked the "main" plot (the middle part ig?) and the plottwist was a bit unexpected, though it's good in its own way. shitty guy x shitty girl ig. 4/10 ch 4 is actually good. no romance. just two friends who parted because of differences in goals in life, except one of them didn't make it clear so they kinda had a bitter parting. 5/10 ch 5 is the one i like the best ngl. 4/5 *spoilers, though it's a one-shot anyway* Dude be crying because he should've helped, now both girls are dead. I mean, yes, she's your gf so you're gonna defend her. But you're all in the same class, you probably have heard rumors and all about your gf. Defending your gf is one thing, but making her realize her mistakes and stopping her from doing shit is part of your job (and her friends'! what the fuck are her friends doing?). Toot toot, too late, you should've helped. As for the gf, she's shitty af, and she's just misdirecting her family issues to the victim. She apologized too late. The victim was cornered too far and ended up, well... I like the ending where they apologized to each other and just let go of things since they're dead anyway. Their only choice is to move on.
