There were some great moments and then some really annoying moments. First off, I'm not the greatest fan on stories that establish a couple almost immediately in the first volume. The ML keeps a facade of being personable, when he really hates having to put in that effort. He struggles with keeping that reputation and just being himself a bit which is a little more snarky yet kind. I would have liked to see more of that but I felt he became too tame with Ellie rather quickly. Ellie doesn't show much growth and is headstrong to the point of unapologetically making bad decisions she doesn't learn from. She pretty constant imo and comes of as self-righteous. In one problem she sounded as if she were saying yeah my choice I hurt you but I feel justified, I don't care about your point much I'm too stubborn to back down.
Ellie is pervy which comes off as funny, but at times she really only is lustful to the point that she's a bit shallow and utterly lacking in many regards. There are other characters who unfortunately weren't drawn more in the story take Kaname, loved his personality and his character had substantial growth, another couple in particular had a lot to offer and I wish I got to see more of them over Ellie. It is cliched in the sense that a kind of average girl gets an above average guy, sure it gives hope to us average girls but fantasizing can't be her only redeeming talent.
There are some truly hilarious parts that come up throughout but towards the end I was getting irritated, there was relief when I finished it. I'm glad I read it, I am even more glad it's over. There's nothing grandiose to gain or lose if you choose to read or skip. But you may find a character that will appeal to you, don't be surprised if it isn't any of the leads, I never found myself rooting for them I was invested elsewhere on side characters.
