Little disclaimer, I'm not the target audience for these books and they're not my usual genre, just reading them for the fun of it.

I thought this was going to be my favourite book in the series, based on how the mmc had been described in previous books where he appeared as a side character. Unfortunately for me the author destroyed all she had built for the character, and to make matters worse, I hated the fmc. The "plot", if you can even call it that, was seriously just too stupid and unbelievable at times, and I found myself not caring about the situations the mcs got themselves into due to that. I couldn't even find it a fun read because I was just annoyed for most of it. The smut scenes also increase exponentially in this book. Lastly, from this point forward you start to realise the fmcs in particular start blurring all together and reading the exact same (
they all are "feisty", bold girlbosses, not scared to talk openly about sex and who make sexual jokes their whole personality
).
