It was...fine? The plot is not particularly interesting in terms of the actual events that happen, even though the idea of the situation, "series in a series" has a lot of potential. The romance component is forced, there's justification for It. The text was originally written on a writing website and it shows. The writing is high school level at best. Another thing that bothered me greatly is the language about women and the female characters, and the fetishization underage girls (and some boys). I understand that part of this story is parodying the nasty things in stories written for men, but there was too much of it and no "redemption" by reversing the criticism. I was surprised to learn that the author is a woman. I deducted half a star for the rampant misogyny.

4.5

The main character's humor, choice of words, and general attitude are hilarious. The story in general follows a rather light-hearted tone, so when it does reach a low, it's a sharp contrast to the humor. There isn't much I can say without spoiling the whole premise, but—it's definitely a self-indulgent story. If you want to have a little fun, get invested in a story and some characters, then svsss is definitely worth a shot.
