She had figured it out, huh? Good thing that she isn’t a scum.
Well, this type of story will never go a dark route, so I don't have to worry about it.
I regret to inform you that this is not necessarily true. I can't spoil the story because I have only read what's available here, but from my experience from other "fluffy" stories (and not necessarily the animal kind of "fluff" but the emotional kind) things can
always go to a "dark" place.
Ratings going poorly? Add drama. Still going poorly, or (worse) recovered once then went down again? Add (more) drama...
There have been some stories that have had severe emotional whiplash... Barrier Master (Isekai) is a prime example...
Personally I hope that you are correct. Unfortunately this is the real world and it's often difficult to tell exactly "what people want" at any given time. People tend to not
merely "adjust" but
over adjust...
