to copy/paste a review I left elsewhere

Nice premise but poorly executed.

FMC is likable enough but the MC is just a mess of cliches posing as a character.
MC got no spine, except when it serves to push him together with a girl he supposedly hates, and is about as generic as it gets.

It'd be a much better read if he actually showed the hostility he claims to have and get that slowly worn down instead of "No one calls me Chicken! We are dating now to prove that I am not interested in you!" to jump into standard rom-com.

Any problems he had from getting NTR'd seem to go straight out the window and he begins acting like basically any generic rom-com MC ever, the entire setup and premise barely do anything to influence him. Wasn't he supposed to be depressed or something?

end result is they barely have any chemistry. Just a Hot girl constantly hitting on boring-everyman escapist fantasy.

Ok so after reading the ending spoiler I have decided to drop this. Mainly because in the end MC does not choose either of them decisively. I really hate people who are indecisive. I was ready to forgive all the other negatives if he chose the main girl decisively and dump the ex properly for good but it seems I was asking for too much.

Ok, if someone does this to you in real life, you tell them to fuck right off. Red flags all around.
yeah but you could say that about alot of anime and heck alot of romance movie heck i watched a romantic comedy where a girl trying to keep her job because she forgot to renew her green card makes her underling pretend to be marring her and over the course of the movie they fall in love as shes forced to hang out with hes family for vacation.
or a christmas comedy romance where girl kidnaps a guy to be her boyfriend for christmas as she needs to show her family she isnt a total loser with no friends since going to the city (i actually forget why she kidnapped the guy exactly but it was something stupid like that) its really fucked up

looks like a title for hentai doujin tbh :dogkek:
also, well expected rating for a ntr-tag. :dogkek::dogkek::dogkek:

i don't rly expecting much with this kind of "so-detailed, specific and long-ass" title series just to bring premise for a story that eventually will be derailed anyway, but we'll see...

Haha I like to seem him not fall in love with her in a month. But have a third girl come in that admired him from a distance and steal him away.

And then the first girlfriend come in saying that she never wanted to break up with him. Just she was talked into it.
That idea is cool, 3rd girl swooping his feet and stealing him away from them is kinda cool considering the situation.

Thing about this is if this was a female mc these hypocrites in the comments wouldn't be trying to review bomb individuals stories they work hard to make for entertainment value of the masses who is ungrateful, that you feel so special that you have to leave nasty comments on the first chapter of the story pathetic.. we get it you have an innate biased against the premise of the story based off gender even though you have literal male mc that can be ra*ist and not get review bombed if you don't like the story simply don't watch but I know you will because you have nothing better to do besides leave negative comments. Lot of you have growing up to do not every story is going to be sunshine and rainbows and go exactly how you want it to go authors don't think like that if their not pandering because they write stories for the story not people's personal pet peeves to leave nasty comments review bombing people's hard work which the premise from the title you all ready knew what it was going to be about, so why bother coming here to complain over little things

Both love interests are awful people and the MC is completely helpless. This isn't worth it. There's just nothing here to enjoy unless you love bad manga.

This is expanded on in the NovelUpdates comments:

Her first impression was incredibly strong, she essentially solidified herself as public enemy #1 right out of the gate. As the story progresses, you can see that the author is trying to get you to like her more, but her initial actions kind of overshadow anything else she does (at least for me). I mean, she "stole" MC's girlfriend, and then outta nowhere states that he was the main target all along, and she did so in the most arrogant manner possible.

What we come to learn later on is that the whole "steal your girlfriend" thing was actually a game/bet between Mizushima and Ena (they're childhood friends). If Mizushima could steal MC within a month it's her win, if not, Ena's win. Now the whole underlying reason for the bet is s*upid (but more on that when we talk about Ena), but it was proposed because Mizushima also knew the MC when he was younger (shocking). He had saved her from a drunk man who got hit in the head with a ball while she and her friends were playing. Everyone left her with the adult and MC happened to pass by and save her.

She fell in love with him from here and kept thinking about him throughout the years. Part of the reason she becomes such a public figure is in hopes of becoming someone worthy of MC and in hopes that he'd find her. However, right before entering an all girl's highschool, she gets a message from Ena (they had kept in touch over the years) with a picture of her new boyfriend (guess who).
Mizushima still covets the MC and still wants to be with him so she tells her parents she's changing schools to be with him and one day Ena complains about her relationship with her boyfriend to her supportive childhood friend.

She was pretty much manipulated into the whole game/bet thing by Mizushima, but it doesn't make what she and Mizushima did any less vile. How it went is that after complaining about her relationship, Mizushima saw her chance. She spilled everything about how she met MC in the past and her love for him, and proposed the bet. Ena feeling guilty for stealing her best friend's crush agrees, but forbids her from talking about the past.

Another thing to note is that Ena also agreed because she questioned if the MC really loved her. She grew up in a strict family and didn't get out much. Coupled with the fact that the MC didn't touch her (handholding, kissing, etc) she thought this was a good opportunity to find out (ya know, instead of just talking about it, but whatever).

MC goes along with the bet with Mizushima and during this time he is stalked, his family is potentially put in danger, and he is almost stabbed twice. Once while he was protecting Mizushima from a crazed fan (but she ended up shielding him and getting slashed on the forehead) and another time when her other crazed fan (her manager's sister) saw them together posing as a bride and groom for a photoshoot and tried to get rid of him (once again Mizushima took the knife, but this time she actually got stabbed in the side and was hospitalized for about a week). This is what I'm talking about with the author trying to paint her in a better light, but in the last instance of stabbing, MC was trying to take precautions but she basically said "I'll protect you, it's fine." Mind you the reason the stabber knew where they were is because she asked Mizushima out on a date to the aquariam, Mizushima said no, but still took both tickets and used the other one for MC (to which he foreshadowed "you're gonna get stabbed someday"

After Mizushima is released from the hospital we get the confession. It's been a month and she once again confesses to MC, but he turns her down (but not because he doesn't like her or he still sees her as the one who stole his girlfriend), it's because he didn't want to see Ena said because at this point he still thought they were doing this behind her back.

With that said, Ena comes out and everything is revealed. Ena apologizes but before getting back together she reveals Mizushima's (who has already left at this point) and MC's past and gives him the option between the two of them again. He runs after Mizushima and finds her on a beach blowing a whistle he gave her when they were younger (saying whenever she blew this he'd come save her). They have a heart to heart and right before solidifying their relationship Ena shows up regretting her decision to let MC leave to chase Mizushima. They go back and forth, neither wanting to give up on him until someone sees them and calls security.

They resume converstaions the next day after school; the girls start off by apologizing for treating the MC like a toy this whole time and tells him to choose. He can't so they do the next best thing, he can just date both of them. But this doesn't sit well with him so he asks them for more time. The story ends with them joining the same film club MC is a part of and introducing themselves as girlfriend candidates.

Just awfull ppl...if somebody did this to me IRL i would tell them to go and fuck themselfs with a cactus...
