I might have bitched a little in the comment section but genuinely it's a good manga. 

Progression seems to be over dramatic or stalled at times but it keeps on moving. Main couple actually progresses and it seems that it won't be Rent A girlfriend v2. 

Characters are not one dimensional and it looks like they have some real depth to them (though a bit over dramatic for me)

Plot is progressing and dynamic doesn't feel artaficial which quite good considering that mangakas tend to have that problem.

Give it a read, despite the setting being school life it seems to have some semblance with reality. Feels like someone who wrote it actually thought through what they were willing to write. (wrote this after reading chapter 33)

A solid 4.6/5 in my opinion 

Alright, let’s review this:

Disclaimer: This story contains depictions of r*pe, gang r*pe, s*xual abuse/harassment, manipulation, etc.

Story/Pacing:
The pacing wasn’t bad, and while the story itself isn’t anything extraordinary, the plot involving the pearls was interesting. Reading it felt like a repetitive game of cat and mouse—it just kept going in circles. I also have to agree with one commenter: there are far too many r*pe scenes. I found them unnecessary, and it left a bad taste in my mouth that after nearly every abuse/r*pe scene, the main couple ends up having s*x as if nothing happened. More than anything, the story seems overloaded with s*x and r*pe scenes.

I’m not saying there’s no plot—there is. It follows the typical “I’m in debt, so I have to sell my body, but here comes the MC to the rescue” trope.

Characters:
To be honest, I don’t have much to say about the protagonists. I found both of them frustratingly bad at communicating, which is a common flaw in many stories.

However, Pilwon was a very interesting antagonist. I really liked the way he was written. 

Would I recommend it?
Not really. I read it because of the hype and because it was finally completed. The story is extremely toxic and contains a lot of r*pe—which, while I can tolerate to a degree, felt overused and often unnecessary. There were many scenes and plot points that seemed to exist without real purpose.

Also, don’t mistake Doshik for a green flag.
