Hiiiiii. You know the drill. I'm Ivern. You are hopeless. And this is a review. Keep up, sweetie.

What's the deal with this one? Easy. It has a god**** great FL. Almost the entirety of its charactization is centered on Apollonia. She is a top notch lead, her personality is perfectly balanced and plenty devoloped. She is a cold, muted person, a weed that refuses to die, a distraught barnacle that anchored itself to life. You cannot but admire how stoic, strong and effective she is. The secret here is that she is very much not overwhelmingly in control, on the contrary: her situation is dire, she has practically nothing at her disposal, but she still builds step by step a place where to stand. She is, for all intents and purposes, an heroine. Trust me when I say that, these days, it's not easy to find one of those that doesn't scream Mary Sue or isn't an useless pitiful victim.

Her opponend is Gaius, an outstanding piece of shi her father. Gaius is an excellent antagonist. He is a vile man, but he is not an imperscrutable force. He is very much human, and as we all know, humans fuc[REDACTED] suck. You can tell how he feels he is perfectly justified in what he did and does, and you cannot help but hate him while perfectly understanding why he does what he does. Does. Does does. Stay with me honey we are almost done, just few more lines of text.

The rest of the cast is... Well, pretty average. but still, we are here for her revenge. That's the meat and the main course. As for the other technical specifics, both the art and the writing are of good quality. Hëll, I'd venture in saying that the writing is actually great. The problem, as it often does, lies in the translation. Which is truly incomprehensible at times. Like, there are bad translations where you can still grasp the sense of it all, like a obstacle run after having received a shovel on the head, and then there's nonsensical word salads. It kinda ruins an otherwise very interesting work.

Recommending it, but I cannot wait for Gaius' downfall. It has been a long time coming, and the chess pieces are almost all at their rightful places. We just need to knock down the final domino piece. NOW BEGONE BEFORE I HIT YOU WITH ANOTHER STRETCHY METAPHOR!

SouljasojuPretty good on Vanilla soda sky

I tend to mostly read masculine x masculine, the seme looking like an uke storys are exceptional though. Anyways its not really my preference but its a cute story..i was mostly hyped to see the drama between the uke&seme + the students dad (i forgot his name but his dad was interested in the uke) anyways its..fluff?? I think, i forgot the plot of the story a bit. Anyways its cute nevertheless

SouljasojuRocks on Plaything

Its a good story, dont give this a "sucks big time" rate just because a different UPLOADER mixed up the storys. Its annoying that the current uploader wont listen to people rambling about how its the wrong story, but just because someone made a mistake..that doesnt mean u should go and blame the story by rating it a 1 star

Thisended at side5, so thats probably the end of s1. S2 MAY come out, i dont know yet..but its a bit obvious that the author is marking this at the end of s1 or they're just taking a break. Im not fully sure so i might be wrong.
