The pacing is too slow. Focusing for several chapters on a prologue that should've lasted for one chapter at most. The syntax is fine. The male lead isn't likeable, but the female lead is sometimes. Light spoiler, but she sticks around in case you were gonna drop because of that. I did end up dropping this one. Full disclosure there. Recently at the time I'm writing this review the writer focused entirely on non-important side characters for multiple chapters, like over ten, without any protagonist pov in that time.
The story is overly dark and the dialogue for the protagonist is juvenile. It reads like an R rated CW show. Sadly no smut though. Not sure why it has a s*xual content warning. In fact, most of those tags don't really fit. I tried pretty hard to stick it out, but I just couldn't do it. It's the writers first work, so I won't one star this, but it's not very good honestly.
