Akasaka really likes shaking up the status quo, in a bad way. First he fakes everyone out by killing Ai in Oshi no ko, and then turning the story into a mystery/fetch quest that never really pays off, and here, he drops a nuke about FMC's problems, then immediately uses the new information the exact next chapter to force a dumb drama.
She admits she's actually totally passive, and just does what she's told to avoid taking responsibility in life, and then, entirely out of nowhere, and despit it being ENTIRELY out of character for the universe itself, some student randomly kidnaps her, then convinces
...
her to answer all sorts of questions, escalating to asking about the color of her panties. The answers honestly, and before he can move on to asking about her fetishes, MC storms in and outs himself as not a nerd to her.
What a fucking coincidence that the exact moment she reveals she'll do anything she's told by anyone, someone in the school just happens to break all conventions, kidnaps her, then uses this exact fact against her.
After this moment of whiplash, the story basically devolves into the author taking a romcom trope, waxing poetic about it, then subverting it. Rinse and repeat. There's only so many times I can see someone's expectations be directly defied in lieu of actual story progress before I give up, and this is where I get off.

The story has a lot number of issues, from the confusing motivations, to the ridiculous expanding scope of the antagonists, to the fact that Lisa constantly beats MC like an old rag, but really the biggest one is the bloated cast: People brought up early on will frequently pop up after hundreds of pages, make a short cameo for drama or something, then vanish again before you even remember who they are. And that's if they're lucky enough to be brought up before at all. Halfway through we have people who are just given a short backstory in the very chapter they're first introduced
...
to us, all just so we have an antagonist with "motivations" who's "different" from the canonical nobodies that the story keeps throwing at the main cast to fight.
If half the cast were cut, the story might have had time to develop, and we might have gotten a less rushed ending. As it stands, I don't know who anyone is, what anyone wants, or why the overarching plot even matters. Other than that, it's a battle manga. You see bad guy, you punch bad guy. I wouldn't call that part of it incompetent, at least.

The longer the series goes on, the less sense it makes for it to go on. The entire thing is an OneShota fantasy, except without the fun bits. There's only so many times you can watch grown women fawning over a boy, then immediately decide that his 3 inch dick is the most irresistible thing in the universe. It only gets worse after he finally has sex with his demon wife. After that, every page of every chapter boils down to "ARE YOU AWARE THAT WE ARE HAVING CONSTANT, PASSIONATE SEX?! YES?! WELL IT BEARS REPEATING! WE ARE HAVING CONSTANT, PASSIONATE SEX AND I FUCKING
...
DARE YOU TO EVEN THINK ABOUT LEWDING MY MAN! TRY IT! YOU KNOW JUST AS WELL AS I THAT I CAN READ YOUR MIND AND PUNISH YOU FOR IT!" Rinse and repeat.

I'll cut to the chase: The manga starts off as a sort of fluffy, SOL Romcom thing, and quickly devolves into erotica. At first we have the occasional suggestive shot of Sensei, and by chapter 11 we've literally got her and MC's sister naked in their house, with the two of them inviting him to shower with them. If you're here for innocent ecchi and a cute romance, you're better off going somewhere else, because according to the spoilers I've seen, the characters get dumber, and the scenes more explicit.
I don't know what more MAL wants me to tell you when I've already explained
...
what the draw for the series is, and that the author throws it all away in lieu of drawing erotica. I guess I could tell you that she also just wears lingerie around the house (Which MC sees) on her days off because a saleswoman pushed her to buy some and she was too much of a doormat to say no, so now she wears it so she doesn't feel like she wasted money. The story, and characters, are all on this exact level of stupid for the entirety of the series, it seems.

DO NOT READ THIS SERIES! THE FIRST TWO VOLUMES ARE A BAIT AND SWITCH! THE AUTHOR RETCONS THEM TO BE DEGENERATE NTR BULLSHIT!
I have never been so deeply, and viscerally upset by a piece of media in my entire life (And I've seen Pupa!). I feel physically ill just thinking about this series.
This is based on a series of doujins featuring a depraved loli slut, NTR, exhibitionism, etc. The author plays fast and loose with the timelines, but the one constant in every single one is that the main heroine is a depraved slut. A recurring thing she does is quite literally have the men
...
who express interest in her watch videos of her getting absolutely destroyed by others, and it's no different here: Around Chapter 66 she literally sits the boy down, right after they have sex, just to show him how some other guy (Or guys) were ORGASM TORTURING HER.
Starting in Chapter 68, Sasha signed up the MC for a threesome with another guy that she didn't even want to fuck. Now she's weaponizing the MC's jealousy to get him to push further into his own depravity. This now fits into the Netorase category. She volunteers him for a threesome with the Senpai he's been jealous about for half the manga, takes them out on a triple date, tries to take erotic pictures with both of them at once in public. In Chapter 71, finally has said threesome as the boy is sitting there watching the foreplay seething with jealousy and thanking God for giving him this girl as a disciple. And then Finally in 72, they're having the threesome, and MC is literally CRYING with jealousy. And for the cherry on top: She's sending every sex tape she ever filmed with everyone to her dad.
The series is literally just filling in the blanks for what she does between the doujins, as it stands, and it's pretending to be this cute thing. This is just another in a line of authors who think they can slap a porn FMC into a regular story and have us like her; but the only reason their evil was tolerated in the first place is because most people specifically look for what the doujins are by tags, and aren't in the mood to consider the morality of cartoons any more than they absolutely have to mid jerk.
Update: The extent of the retcons is absolute:
1) All this degeneracy begins with Chapter 30.5 (A.K.A.: "Chapter 0") , where the events of the first two volumes are both retconned and tied to the porn doujins explicitly. She's seen spending time with a sex friend from the doujins that that the author explicitly told us was present at the same time as MC in said doujins. So the entirety of her backstory from the doujins (for those in the know) is canon, and so are the doujins that happen when she's in middle school. Now the "wholesome romcom" has her implicitly calling up older men to a hotel, and doing illegal sex streams, between chapters, and possibly pages.
1.1) Since the doujins are canon, Sasha's line about just recently learning about choking play from MC in Chapter 9 is retroactively a lie she told for literally no reason: She's been into, and practiced it, for years at that point. To boot, she was blushing up a storm like you'd expect from a virgin.
2) 33 confirms explicitly she's sleeping with the Senpai: The same one she was talking about rejecting to her friends like this is the first time they heard about him in chapter 18, then rejected a second time in chapter 19. And she says that the only thing that'll stop her from sleeping around is her boyfriend's say so, since it's not anyone else's business who she's sexual with. She was previously willing to listen to MC when he told her to not to take nudes with only a bit of resistance, despite also insisting that he has no right to stop her from doing what she likes.
3) In 36, the friends are retconned into knowing she's been having sex with Sanada Senpai. The first time around, they're shocked she turned him down and encouraged her to take him, then in chapter 22 where they're specifically not ok with her being sexual, try to bait MC into asking for nudes to test him, and scold Sasha for plainly offering to send him some. Now they knew all the way back then, and they suddenly insist that it's none of their business what she does sexually.
4) In Chapter 40, Kana, the friend that had an issue with MC being a perv is now suddenly chipping in to help him buy condoms to have sex with the Sasha, who, as previously stated, she ALSO minds being sexual.
5) In 66 Sasha's line about liking taking nudes of herself from chapter 22 takes on a more sinister tone, as rather than meaning she likes the idea of taking them for MC, it now means that she's been recording herself having sex with everyone she sleeps with. Also, her agreeing to stop is now completely forgotten about.
6) In 68, Sasha's reluctance to spend time with Sanada Senpai in chapter 18 and 19 is retconned from being that she's most interested in MC to her being outright bored with Senpai, since now that she's slept with him, the mystique of being with a Senpai disappeared.
7) Starting from chapter 69 she's now volunteered MC for a threesome with the one guy he's specifically jealous about, brought them both out on a date at the same time, tried to take erotic pictures with MC, and then when the guy walks in on them, she invites him to join them- again, completely rejecting the promise not to take nude pictures of herself.
This also happens to contradict her attitude in a doujin towards threesomes for people who are attached, since her own friend had the man she liked merely propose it, and that made Sasha absolutely livid.

I hate this series. The quality varies wildly between episodes, but that's not the problem. Occasionally, you'll get one where the people involved are absolutely atrocious, yet we're supposed to just forgive and forget for the next episode.
Canonical beauty Yoshiko sensei gets invited to a sushi place in an obvious romantic move by one of the workers there, and the woman, despite turning beet red publicly at the gesture, has the nerve to bring her other suiter there to buy her dinner. She's not actually entertaining either one of these men's advances, and she even beats the sushi man later on in the series for
...
DARING to ask her on a date outright.
Hiroshi (MC) at one point manipulates his mom into not hitting him over his grades by littering his room with news clippings about serial killers whose mothers pressured them academically. In that episode, he gets his comeuppance and says he'll study hard... only for the exact next bit (There are two per episode) to have him stating boldly and proudly he can't be bothered to study despite having quite literally nothing better to do than to wander around town aimlessly.
And then finally, his entire friend group, along with Yoshiko sensei, all quite literally plan to go skiing without him, and when he catches them, they don't even have the decency to come clean until Yoshiko sensei and her suitor show up to pick the kids up. When Hiroshi manages to go skiing anyway, they spend the entire episode making fun of him for being upset at their betrayal- with Kyouko (MC's "Friend"/Love interest) going so far as to taunt him by saying she'll go looking for a boyfriend on the grounds if he stops talking to her. They get no comeuppance, Hiroshi is mad for a couple of scenes, and then by the end, when you think they'll at least be mildly inconvenienced as karmic retribution, a single offer of a kiss from Kyouko has him literally stopping and reversing a train to comply with her whims.
It goes on.
This is all by episode 15. I have over 80 more to go? No thanks. I hate everyone here, and I'd rather watch Pupa.

To make a long story short: The first half is good. There's plenty of drama, and a few strange choices to be made here and there, but a story about a woman coming back to rebuild her old broken family, and rebuilding her new broken family in the process is sweet, and suitably dramatic. The problem is that the main conflict of the story is solved halfway through, and the author then changes the premise.
There's this in-universe story that's used as a parallel to the one we're reading. Once the main conflict is over, the ending for the story changes, and suddenly FMC starts
...
experiencing more and more child-like episodes. These become especially noticeable when the author dead-ass stops the story to tell us that all the conflicts are solved, and there's no more drama to be had. Then the story clearly tries to change from "Wife comes back from the dead. Rejoice!" to "The past should stay in the past" in a jarring theme shift that affects not only the main couple, but even the side couple!
At that point, I don't know why I bothered reading so many chapters of this thing if I'm just going to see it burned down and read a second story halfway through anyway.

It's got a slow start, but the story won me over on chapter 4, where the author actually creates an actual issue between two Human Beings and resolves it in a natural, satisfying way. She and her sister don't get along. Her sister is harsh to everyone, and FMC herself doesn't like sharing her art. Problem is she took up art to get closer to her sister. The most FMC would manage to do it sneak a drawing into her sister's hands, then run away before hearing anything. She asked her sister why she likes drawing so much, and when she said she likes seeing
...
people react to said art, it all finally clicked. She already experienced that herself, which was the push she needed to finally show her sister her work and bond.
BAM. See? Nobody was just a dick out of nowhere, and we didn't solve years of abuse, neglect, and alienation with some retarded little speech about family, or forgiveness. There was a small clash in personalities, and the the story naturally bridged the gap without trying to force the audience to "Forgive" anyone for anything. They just finally saw eye to eye, and they got along better.

TL;DR: This story has MASSIVE plot holes, abandons its premise unceremoniously, doesn't solve the mystery it sets up, and the timeline doesn't make sense (Which is basically just the plot hole complaint again)
The author basically set up a big mystery, then kept playing off it to serve as an obstacle to our main cast. And it served that purpose wonderfully. But here's the problem: The author really likes movies. He likes to include real-life movies in the story, and that causes problems. Namely, that since the movies actually exist, you know roughly what period of time the characters are in, or talking about.
Which leads
...
us to the next problem:
In chapters 11 and 16, the author had FMC's mom outed as a major movie nerd. Mom then went on a whole speech about how the movie Constantine, featuring Keanu Reeves (She's a huge fan) was a big part of her youth (Literally 青春/Seishun; roughly: Adolescence). She outright tells us that she saw this movie when she was her daughter's age. The problem? Her daughter is 15, Constantine came out in late 2005. She got the DVD mailed to her, so add even more time for shipping, handling, etc.. This story takes place in 2021, at the latest. Mom would need to get pregnant RIGHT THEN AND THERE, POSSIBLY VIA REEVE'S UNBRIDLED MANLINESS LEAKING INTO HER THROUGH THE DISK, if her child has any hope of being the canonical age of 15 the story set her as. But she doesn't. In fact, we know she doesn't for a while (More on that in a second). To boot, chapter 16 has her making a reference to John Wick, which came out in 2014, when her daughter was already 8-9 years old! So either she's banned her daughter from watching TV, movies, and using the internet while she sat around indulging, or movies were actually fine up until some point after John Wick, and FMC should have memories of watching TV, movies, and browsing the internet
Even if we're unreasonably generous, and assume the DVD she'd gotten mailed to her was actually THE MATRIX in 1999 (Which opens a whole other can of worms, since DVD players and DVD's were luxury goods, and nobody sold them via mail), that means all the events that happened in the next three years, which are presumably what the author is going to use to justify her problem with media, STILL wouldn't work, because these events would be happening around 2002, and Constantine, having come out in 2005, was explicitly established as a part of that "青春" (Youth/Adolescence). So despite everything we're seeing, she's not only still into movies, but she's so into them, she'll actually have her chuuni phase 6 years late because of how much she loved the latest release. And then, right the instant she has her late chuuni phase, she gets over it, then has her daughter like I described earlier. All while going on to watch John Wick when her daughter was 8-9.
Chapter 16 does us a double disservice by spending the whole time setting up the resolution to the mystery, and the series' whole premise right then and there... only to cut away when everything is explained, then never touching on it for 51 CHAPTERS! I'm serious. The story gets mom and MC in the same room, she literally sits down, gives a little preamble before explaining herself, then... we cut to the daughter, who is in the next room, who forgot to listen in. And then we cut back to the guy telling her that the explanation was entirely convincing, and he understands why she would go so far as to ban all media for her daughter.
The story then spends a couple more chapters rubbing it in our faces that he knows, and that the main conflict of the story's been resolved off screen, before moving on to focus on an entirely different girl.
51 chapters and TWO YEARS later, we finally get a flashback of the mother's youth in chapter 67. She's 17 here, has no kids, and joins a small talent agency. Stuff happens, things look hopeful, then we get a bit of mood whiplash where she's barely conscious, being kissed by some middle-aged man in some drinking party. You think "Oh, so this is the incident that made her hate movies". NOPE. Next chapter comes in, she's immediately saved, she learns her lesson, she graduates, then spends time working as an actress.
Enough time passes that she's over 18 now (She's 3 years too late to have a child that can be 15 years old in 2021). She's still an actress, she still doesn't hate media, and she's got a thick spine. Case in point: She's at an audition, and the people in charge are trying to get her to strip for them. They then invite her to a room in a casting couch situation for the role. She turns them down. Her friend ends up being cast at the end of the chapter, which obviously comes as a shock to her, but that's the latest I can access at the time of writing.
EDIT: New chapter comes out, and it turns out her friend's been sleeping with everyone to get the agency its business, despite said agency being made ostensibly to "protect women" from exactly this. Mom was the only one not in the loop. Then we finally cut back to the present day- with the events we just saw presumably being the explanation for her hatred of movies... that happened either in 2008 (Which makes her daughter too old), or 2002 (Which means she kept watching with cringey enthusiasm for YEARS afterward. Not to mention it means mom's age watching Constantine was retconned)).
P.S.: This author seems to have a running thing where women are just automatically exploited sexually the moment they start acting. The mom's exploited, the mom's friend is exploited, and then also at least one high school girl is almost exploited. Every actress is a victim, and every man casting them is an evil rapist. Not a single woman ever thinks "Sweet! This is a great opportunity!", and not a single man ever thinks "Let's maybe not try sleeping with the actress".

The story starts off fine enough with a quick en medias res, before moving on to setting up the actual story. FMC's character is a little inconsistent. She starts off by being a weirdo with a camera, then we quickly transition to her being an ice queen, and then a couple more things afterwards.
I'll get to the point: Volume 1 is fine. Volume 2 has Bullshit Drama. It involves the other girl in the club trying to hurt MC, revealing FMC is already into someone else, and then the rest of the volume is literally just everyone coping with their unrequited loves. To add
...
insult to injury, FMC just plain uses MC to try winning over her crush. The ending gives you an extra gut punch by reading out a speech to us from the camera girl about how she ALSO has unrequited feelings, which we only see long after she's disappeared.
You're best off just not reading past the first volume and saying they live happily ever after.
