Despite all the glowing reviews, I really can't bring myself to complete this story. It's mature in the sense that both leads are pretty much commonsense people with good decision-making and rational thinking. The problem of the story lies right there as well because, even though both of them are genuinely good people, they don't have any chemistry at all. If anyone here has seen a Japanese show called "We got married as a job", that's exactly the vibe you will get from the main relationship in this story. It's rather bland and uninteresting, which you wouldn't want to have in a story focused on romance.Another issue that I have with the story is the MC's mum who is always nagging her about getting married and teaching her how a woman needs to depend on someone else throughout her life. It might be a cultural/social status difference, but from the perspective of what is damaging to us as women, it's annoying to read paragraphs upon paragraphs of her mum springing dates on her and all the laminations about how obedient, patient, and "socially acceptable" she has to be.Maybe the story gets better past this but I have neither the patience nor perseverance to put up with it.
