It seems the age of trying to normalize actual heavy emotional cheating and playing around with feelings of others by bait and switch-sacrificing a whole work is upon us.
This is probably the 4th or 5th (shoujo-)work I have read in the past ~3 months that had recently released chapters do just that. Tbh, I am pretty apathetic towards these themes, even NTR BUT, big but, this is just like 99% of the other works abusing the female lead character to do the aforementioned.
Abuse the character? Yes. She was established for 19 chapters to be the "S" (sadist) in their established relationship. Randomly, after 19
...
fucking chapters she is, without any writing, instantly fully force changed to act fully out of character to enable another male character. Eww. The case here is pretty fucking egregious, she is now completely 100% acting out of character, not being S anymore for a pretty dang disgusting reason and acting wholly against her established character and relationship.
Her whole character is ruined. No coming back. If there was a book called "some of the worst writing in history" this would be one of the first chapters. A prime example.
Thing is, this manga was pretty mid anyways. The only things it had going were art + being somewhat consistent. Absolute insanity to just throw one of the two pillars making this not complete dogshit out of the window.
19 chapters of average but consistent establishing of characters and "story"telling thrown out in 2 panels? Holy cow! I would award this work if I could! The golden turd should suffice.
Welp, I fully agree with hazuki_ii's review (the only other one at the time of writing) and understand where they are coming from. I, sadly, only looked for reviews AFTER reading up to chapter 21. HUGE mistake.
Can not recommend. Yes, Shoujo loves to have the female lead sway and let other guys into their heads but this manga is part of a whole other genre. It takes things 10x further which in itself could be fine, too, but the way the author gets there is just so abysmally embarrassingly terribly bad.
It is NOT enjoyable as a casual read. It is NOT enjoyable as a massive Shoujo reader. It is NOT enjoyable when into the S&M theme (this work is pretty disrespectful in that regard). It is a work to push an agenda. It inherently can not be and is not enjoyable.
