Cozy

I've seen many people saying this is a boring read. I'd say this is a very calm, cozy and gentle read, to me. It's a very subtle type of storytelling focusing a lot of it through the art rather than the words. Which I really like and appreciate. A lot of the story is in the space between the words. The themes are very much around growing up and healing in a very emotionally realistic way. This isn't the story for you who are looking for intense drama, a riveting romance or intrigue. This is the kind of story you read when you want to relax and feel a little bit fuzzy around your heart for a moment. All in all, I'd say it's very cute, and quite the healing story for my inner child.

No story.

Nothing to see here. Or is there? Because you could just see the character arts and imagine there's actually some kind of a story instead.

idk, I read up to 40ish episodes and this is a nothing burger. I wouldn't recommend if you're looking for anything fun/serious. No conflicts, and you don't really root for any of the ML. They all just seem to take interest in her randomly. The pacing is also really weird. All her girlfriend/roommates and their family also really like her but I personally don't see her charm.

There is one scene where the MC gets confronted by her "rival" Julia, and I actually agreed with Julia's words. the MC just seems like an asshole with her "oh nooo I am soooo talented ppl will be looking at me and taking advantage of me but you wouldn't knowwww bcs you're not a genius" spiel or whatever.

Her family gets mentioned (her dad) sometimes, but other than "he's abusive and he hates me bcs my mom died giving birth to me", there's nothing there. There could be some good conflicts and story lines that go down this line, but NOPE. Nothing burger!

There is some tension shown in politics, but tbh the story revolves around the academy and it's kinda boring bcs it's all classes and exams LOL. The author could skip it but noooope. It's allll there.

All in all, smth you would read when you don't wanna think about anything LOL

"interesting"

i was interested in reading for the art but it feels like the author found every single cliche used and put it all in one story. i dont mean that its bad to have cliches in a story but for this story, the cliches execution made the romance feel shallow. like she's just "interesting" for some reason. anyway...

it's the type of story when you are out of things to read. its not that bad but its not that great either. there are probably better reverse harems out there like I Fell Into A Reverse Harem Game!

Slice of life-ish, no real plot

It's ok, not something to take very seriously. Typical reverse harem, the slice of life format make it hard for us to see any real connections bloom in between them.
Not terrible, something to read if you just don't want something complicated that will make you think or feel strongly.
An all around "eh", not memorable and pretty average, but not bad either. Relaxing, I guess.

Boring. This REALLY needs to have a "reverse harem" tag here. Literally EVERY Gaussian halo-ed man is somehow enraptured by this impossibly timid woman.

At least there seems to be SOME self awareness and this Female Main Lead seems to have acknowledged that. Sure, okay, fine, she wants to live her life without making a ruckus? Because she was outstanding in her former existence as a genius in S. Korea? Okay, girl. We got it. Now pay more attention to your girl friends/roommates if that's really the case. Too much focus on these VERY dashing, rando men that just happen to flutter all around you while being all "mysterious" and whatever.

I get that this is romance but wow this just reads so painfully forced. This crazy string of "coincidental meetings" with, like, 5 flawlessly magical men, each more elevated in looks and socioeconomic status than the last, in less than one evening is stretching that suspension of disbelief too much. Its such a tired, trite trope. Other manhwa/manga/manhua have done it better.
