Good:
- The characters (both main and side ones) are some of the best in the OI genre. They are unique, memorable and hilarious.
- romance + comedy + slice-of-life are the primary genres. Lots of wholesome and positive vibes. Most of the series is actually just characters meeting and chatting.
- gorgeous and cute art. Most of the female character designs are just insanely pretty. While ML's design is a bit bland, his variety of expressions are refreshing (compared to all the stoic male leads that we often see in OI).

Bad:
- There's barely 5 chapters worth of "plot" and even that is kind of a ... mess (especially the final twist). Just completely forget the plot and enjoy the character interactions for a better reading experience.
- There's a good bit of angst, entirely arising out of [many] misunderstandings. There's also the annoying trope of FL saying "I must not interfere with OG plot and let ML fall in love with OGFL", which serves no purpose but to block the progress of romance.

Overall
Read for characters + comedy + romance + art. Ignore any angst or plot stuff that usually ruins the vibe. It's an entertaining series, but do not expect anything deep or a masterpiece.

Really ended up liking the characters, and the Art grew on me. I enjoyed the conversations and the chemistry the main characters had. Unlike many of these stories the FL and ML actually talk and have banter/chemistry. But man oh man were the miscommunications a headache in this one. If you are sensitive to characters misunderstanding each other and not communicating, you will be pulling your hair out the whole story. My score just kept dropping the more I read. I can definitely understand why someone would rate this 7 or 8 out of 10 but if you are like me and can't stand constant ... miscommunications driving the plot you will want to skip this one.

Pros:
- The charcaters weren't terrible. They were likable
- Nothing else
Characters: 7/10

Cons/rant
- Boring story; plot is 4/10 at best.
- The art was not my cup of tea. Maybe others might like the old school vibe, but I certainly don't. Even upon seeing the art I still wanted to give it a chance since a lot of people liked it. Art: 4/10
- Used predictable manhwa otome isekai tropes
- The ending seemed like a Raeliana rip off
... - I don't understand why people hyped this story as much as they did
- Half the story is useless drivel, the other half is ridiculous misunderstandings that didn't need several chapters to resolve
- It's a romance manhwa but it takes 100 chapters for them to even kiss, forty to hold hands properly.
- If you have something else to read, read that. Not this.
