1.75

nerd/jock is an obvious cliché, but i think every cliché can be made fun with good execution, so i was into the premise of this and fully willing to have a good time. unfortunately, it all felt so flat to me, i could barely feel anything other than "hm" every once in a while. last 30% is a total slog of introducing stupid minor conflict only to resolve it the very next chapter, and having to transit a rollercoaster of unimportant bullshit. also, every typo i stumbled across made me cringe, and with some other details that tended to confuse me, it made the entire thing feel pretty sloppy. rounding up something closer to a 1.5 up to 2 because at least it helped me pass the time, i guess.
