First off, the 1/10 rating is legit. Also, the tags seem off. This is a reverse harem (she actively seeks out many other guys and encourages them ;) ) with adult themes (questionable consent, violation, forms of cheating). I won't spoil contents but there is a massive amount of actual sexual violence and "almost rape" that never is punished/allowed(?) by FL.
Tbh, I would've dropped this at ch 45+46/51 if it wasn't clear that the series would be ending soon. It was pretty fucking disgusting and unfair to ML. Pretty much actual NTR hentai contents. It also went against her whole established character, essentially rendering
...
all ~40 chapters of "development" useless. A bit more on that below.
She (ch 40+) has to be written by some incel is what I believe at this point. No way in hell could a normal human being abuse a female lead to this extent and fulfill every deranged incel fantasy in one go. "Meek woman like strong men and open for them oogabooga" + the "she owes every male physical intimacy and love" classic. FL willingly has to present herself on a silver platter for every male to freely use. "But she doesn't like it!!" after seeing her swoon-blush and engage in physical activities to seek them out the next day as if nothing happened- no, worse even, she sees them in a better light and engages them more friendly and heavily. Eww and puke.
This reads more like Smut than Shoujo. Chapters 40+ can be hard to stomach and confusing for the average shoujo enjoyer.
Now the reason for the 1/10 rating; The main story ends at chapter 40. The climax is actually okay and it feels like this is the true end which isn't only terrible- you can walk away like "whatever" and give it a solid 5, fine Shoujo.
SADLY the manga keeps going, without a proper story. There is only one quest now which she actually endulges and likes: "Try not to cheat on your husband" (I am sadly not kidding, this is in the manga now).. From here on the reader only sees her either being a full on slut or conveniently mentally impaired. The author is taking every stupid thing she did before and amplifies 10x. It almost reads like rage bait.
To put into relation, there has been a total of 2 wholesome husband-wife moments as of chapter 53 and a total of 13 (borderline-)cheating moments. She is resisting even less than before, really liking it in some panels. Consistent characters, who?
Again, I wish I was kidding. This is not enjoyable and I don't really have a problem with the NTR and adult themes. All writing involving her is just simply dogshit and uncomfortable.
There are some good ideas, most notably the whole "love goes beyond gender" plot that is established early on. Other than that, questionable consent is huge in this manga paired with the whole "can you be with one person even if you find every guy around you irresistibly hot and unconciously seek them out"-subplot that gets introduced randomly.
Not THAT rare in shoujo and some people might just really like it. I personally have a problem with it as the first part was relatively vanilla to then randomly be flooded by different genres- felt like a bait and switch.
The characters are another major weak point. It starts off reasonable and we get some quick introductions which are pretty transparent- you know who will play which role instantly. No biggie, might be on purpose... is what I would type if the series wasn't throwing thousands of hot guys after you and the characters weren't all so insanely inconsistent.
It is actually infuriating at times (looking at chapters 13 onwards). The writing in these chapters is atrocious and incoherent. It mostly stems from how the characters behave so differently from what the say and did before but the story is just a tangled mess that makes some characters look plain retarded.
Some of the stuff that happens is criminal with zero repercussion but there is such a volume of characters, you can't keep track of who should be jailed for how long. Yes, it is that bad.
There was some insane mental gymnastics involved to "develop" her into whatever this is, allowing all of the aforementioned to happen.
Again, I don't hate everything that happened but HOW it happened. Important.
As for the ending and pacing.. atrocious. There is something about the way chapters end and the next ones begin (cuts and skips) and how the overall story (ch 40 and 55) ended that just feels completely off. The pace suddenly gets cranked to 1000 and pumps pumps pumps, everything and everyone has to be solved. It reads poorly. Everyone gets a panel to explain their thoughts in their final moments and how their life will go from there on.
Cool. I still don't feel anything towards them apart from "get jailed, you disgusting blackmailing sexual harasser voyeur". But the blackmailer is her good friend so whatever, heh.
(Possibly the worst part of this whole manga. He (won't name the guy) wasn't even under any influence. Free will decision and NOTHING happened, story just keeps going instantly even though it is so severe in gravity and implications compared to a lot of other stuff.)
I only kept reading to see how bad it can get and oh boy, the author managed to go beyond the worst after 40+. Kudos for that.
"But it is shoujo hurrdurr" A heartfelt stfu to these people. There was something here apart from "weak FL is used and manhandled by every guy so cute". This is a bait and switch. Shame.
The most bizarre thing about this manga, there are random short moments (sometimes only 2 panels) where all characters just wake up and behave like conscious beings with reason and feelings not just as tools that need to do one thing and then fall into obscurity. This is dementia: the manga. I do feel bad for it but caring for it eats you up inside.
