Reading the story felt more like a task than an enjoyable experience, despite its brevity. The main character (MC) and male lead (ML) lack any significant relationship growth, despite MC discovering ML's background. Their bond mainly revolves around ML's constant heat and MC's acquiescence to his possessiveness, which they justify as love. Apart from physical intimacy, there is a dearth of emotional connection or romantic development. Overall, it was a disappointing read, lacking the expected depth and sweetness.
The review rates the book 4.5 stars and describes it as a charming and humorous short story featuring a strict CEO and his model character. The CEO follows a strict playbook, which the model happily accommodates, and their daily interactions form the basis of the plot. There's a subtle element of non-explicit romantic tension, making it suitable for more mature readers.
However, the reviewer notes that the ML character can come across as controlling, especially when it comes to the CEO's personal life, which might be off-putting to some readers, bordering on a possessive or "yandere" dynamic. They advise that while the main couple's relationship is fine, those sensitive to such dynamics might find the secondary doctor couple, who exhibit even more controlling behavior, concerning. This side couple appears only in extra content, so readers can choose to skip it if they're uncomfortable.
Overall, despite the potential issue with control in the relationships, the reviewer considers the book an acceptable read, especially as a light-hearted, short story.
