this just really wasnt very good . the biggest problem was the pacing , the pacing was very rushed . in the first chapter the mc strikes a bickering type relationship with the ml , finds out a secret of his , falls in love with the ml , and learns about his Tragic Backstory ( which felt really flat and cheesy btw , probably because of the bad pacing ) . this feels more like a parody of shoujo manga , but not one written by a fan of shoujo that lovingly pokes fun at its tropes . it feels very hollow andlike theres no heart into it , i dont care about these characters or their problems at all . writing this review so that no one wastes their time on it , but also so that someone who isnt very familiar with shoujo and already has preconceived notions about it doesnt think they were right and all shoujo is like this . im sorry to the author , maybe they didnt even want to do this , or maybe they did but were compromised by a deadline or page limit . in any case , this isnt very good
