Opinion: Very chapter based rather than plot driven which was dissapoiting but the art is great.

So to start I think the only reason I finished this series is because I loved the art so much. The heroine and male lead just look so good I would definitely read more from this mangaka if the improved their story telling.

So the story is kind of insane with a lot of plot holes. Also any issue or plot lines start and resolve within one chapter sometimes two. I guess it was just more episodic. It was a bit disappointing I was expecting something more similar to “Our Fake Marriage” but you win some and lose some.

Just a note the smut in this one is very light but abundant. Every chapter something happens but it fades to black pretty quick. Like a harlequin romance.
