It started getting SUPER "protagonist makes the dumb decision that no normal person would make" trope. And i dont need to read about someone being an idiot.

I finished the first book, I really enjoyed the storyline but there's a minimum of one sex scene in each chapter. Sometimes up to 4-5 sex scenes. It just became too much, I won't continue this series.

 If you're not the target audience and read YA /new adult for fun: if you are in the headspace of reading a sequel where time passes but somehow the frontal lobe of the mc shrinks dramatically in comparison to the first book, enjoy. This feels like the book is at least 50% smut for smut sake and v erratic story telling where halfway forgotten story lines are crammed back in as an after thought.
