STORY - (7/10)
If you're looking for anything deep or a romance that is world-shattering, heart-breaking, or tear-jerking, read something else, because it's so obvious this is purely a "take at face value" kind of thing. It focuses on the classic enemy-to-lover trope, but in this case, the main character is a bounty hunter and the love interest is his bounty. It is really funny, and the story is relatively engrossing with a simple-to-follow plot. The chemistry between the two love interests is there, but it's pretty clear it's the sex that is driving the plot. There are various "kinks" the author puts the main character in, and it's obvious that is more or less the only reason why he is getting into those scenarios. This includes tentacles, 3P, "stuck in a wall", and shrunken down. It's alright, not the best, but pretty entertaining for what it's worth.
ART - (8/10)
I really love the bright colour palette it uses, and the art style is also just really cute. In my opinion, the nsfw scenes are also drawn really nicely and well-paced as well. The only thing that I have to complain is about how the art progresses throughout the story. I didn't really notice it at first, but most of the characters initially start with more mature features (smaller eyes, for example) to more childish features (bigger eyes). This isn't thaat obvious most of the time but it kinda irked me from time to time. For example, here is the male lead in (1) Ch15 (2,3) Ch28 : https://imgur.com/a/KVZaCfs
CHARACTERS - (8/10)
Apart from the main character, Ravi Johnson, and the male lead, Kylot Hugo, there really aren't that many characters, so I will just focus on them. Ravi Johnson: First of all, as a Southeast Asian, I really love the name and character. I'm not South Asian (where I'm assuming Ravi is ethnically based, because of his name/skin) but he does represent tan Asians which I am lol so I'll take it! Even though his surname is European and there is no mention of any Asian culture, just the bare fact that the character isn't just a white guy is genuinely good enough for me so I really enjoyed that. Anyway, now to his actual character, I also really like the design! He is a hot-headed "do first, think later" kind of guy, which is genuinely such a good fit for this kind of story where most of the time he is the one at expense because his reactions just make it 100x more interesting. Straight away, his "over the top" nature is just so lovable, and his kind of "dumbness" really drives the story too.
Kylot Hugo: He was definitely a charming character but that was obviously a veil to manipulate Ravi so I was neutral to him at first. However, I love his visual design, and the author drew his really well, especially in Ravi's point of view where he becomes 10x more prettier which was such a cute aspect if you think about it. But it was in later chapters that I truly appreciated him. Because he was built with inauthenticity, when he later starts realizing his feelings and becomes all hot and bothered/vulnerable, it genuinely just made his character that much more worth reading for.
OVERALL: 8/10
Surprisingly high considering the lack of layers this has, which is usually my #1 factor on how much I rate the story, but honestly, I had fun reading it. It's like those trashy rom-coms you just like watching over and over again despite it barely passing your criteria for good. So yeaah it really isn't that amazing, but it was entertaining, gave me a boost of serotonin, so it deserves an 8/10 in my opinion.
