I'm surprised how this story s**ked me in. Started reading on a whim, figuring it'd be something I'd most likely drop after a few chapters.Ended up binge-reading to the current TL'd chapter and am hungry for more.Biggest draw for me is definitely the TL quality. It reads smooth as butter. I don't whether it's MTL or not and don't feel it's an issue for this type of story anyway. Clearly the TLer has some decent writing chops from the way this reads and it's the end result that matters to me when reading something fun like this.The story itself is well paced. It usually spends around the right amount of time with worldbuilding, character interactions, and action to stay constantly engaging and never a chore to read.The story does occasionally feel like it glosses over things a bit too quickly but that's understandable considering the Korean Raws are at 657 chapters and ongoing. I imagine there's so much interesting content to come that if the author lingered on day-to-day matters the story might end up bloated and go on for 1000s of chapters.The smut is so far ~5% of the story, so don't go in expecting a ton despite the extremely smutty sounding premise. I can see it increasing as the story progresses and the MC makes more progress with the heroines.The MC is more interesting than I expected. He's a "chessmaster" type that plans well and handles almost everything with a clear head. Almost everything is what makes things a little more entertaining. Seems there may be a setting that forces him to think with the wrong head in certain situations, but we'll see how that develops.Don't know enough about the heroines yet but they seem interesting enough so far. How he'll manage to juggle seducing all of them will be interesting. I expect him to experience close calls with game-over "nice boat" endings when some inevitably find out about each other and don't take it well.4.5/5 stars. Not a masterpiece by any means but damn fun to read.
