Story About Buying My Classmate Once A Week

I got past the first arc or 2 in that novel and the mc genuinely started p*ss*ng me off. Not worth. Seems to be a great hit amongst the edgy fang yuan meat riders tho so do with that what you will

Kinky. I love it.

The beginning

So what's the difference between this and RMW?

It's good so far, but the story progresses at a very slow pace, and it takes a lot of chapters for the relationship to develop. I love seeing this kind of Yuri couple, but it's a bit disappointing that Miyagi is a Tsundere type, especially a selfish one. Even though I don't particularly like Miyagi, I still enjoy the story as they start to get closer to each other little by little. I'm still curious about how many chapters it will take for them to reach the end!

Updating after reading to Chapter 167:

The translation quality has significantly improved since my initial review and is now quite readable. There are still some grammatical errors, primarily related to sentence structure, which can make the prose feel a bit stilted and awkward. However, the text remains clearly understandable despite the occasional poorly constructed sentence.

The less common errors that can make the text hard to follow tend to occur in dialogue, particularly in translating Miyagi's curt way of speaking. Even when the words don't always make perfect sense, the overall meaning and feeling of what is being said are still conveyed effectively.

The story itself continues to get better. It's a fantastic slow-burn romance that steadily intensifies, keeping you engaged with every chapter. I was so hooked that I ended up buying all the yet-to-be-released chapters.

Previously written after reading to Chapter 58:

Himi-cat's review captures my thoughts on this work, though I might have been a bit harsher in my criticism:

- The translation quality is not just "pretty iffy—machine translation with limited editing." It's essentially machine translation with minimal or no editing by a native English speaker. I even considered offering my services as an editor, as a native English speaker could easily correct many of the grammar mistakes while reading each chapter. The most glaring issues are the male pronouns appearing in a YURI work where 99% of the pronouns should be female. Despite the poor translation, it is still readable (if you mentally edit as you go), and the characters' emotions and thoughts are still conveyed effectively.

- As Himi-cat mentioned, the story is almost entirely character-driven, focusing on the yuri relationship between the two main characters, with very little in terms of external plot or additional characters.

It is a very slow-burn yuri romance, but it works well because the characters are deeply introspective about their growing feelings and intimate moments. Their internal struggles and hesitations to deepen their relationship are believable, and the underlying emotions that drive them to get closer despite their fears make every small interaction compelling.

After 200 chapters in a span of a week, I have so many thoughts about this webnovel that I made an account just to write this review. I'm reading the novel through Google Translate, so it isn't the best experience, but I correct things in my head as I go.

If you can't tell already, it is a very, very slow burn (with up to 266 chapters at the time of writing this review) and there is a lot of pining. One thing I really love about the novel is reading the characters' thoughts. The point of view switches between Miyagi and Sendai-san every few chapters, which gives a much livelier perspective.

I will say that the foot-licking scene initially put me off, but I understand why the author included it. Miyagi ordering Sendai-san to lick her feet is the ultimate test of how far Sendai-san is willing to go to follow orders for 5,000 yen. It's meant to deter Sendai-san, yet she still follows through because of their 'contract.'

The buildup is slow in the first 70-ish chapters, but you can definitely see them growing closer. After 100 chapters or so, I couldn't stop reading with a huge grin on my face.

Miyagi and Sendai-san's relationship is one I really feel. The innocence of two girls hanging out, evolving into a deep connection where they can't live without each other, is something I really love in yuri/shoujo ai.

The two main characters in this story have a compelling push-and-pull dynamic that keeps me hooked.

The story begins with the two characters appearing to just play around with each other, but as it progresses, their dependence on one another deepens, and the relationship that started with a 5000 yen bet evolves into something more profound.

The author does an excellent job of portraying Miyagi, a character who is dishonest with both herself and Sendai. Sendai's personality becomes more evident as their relationship stabilizes in the later chapters.
