Halfway house 5/10, but rounding down as it is closer to 4 than 6
If I had to describe this one in a single sentence it would simply be Not outright horrible, but incredibly bland.
Interesting enough premise, although very basic, very clunky and extremly repetitive dialogue. MC will call Samantha hot, she will flirt back. Call Emily cute, she will get angry or flustered, Call Ashley hot, she will call him a pervert. Cue internal monologue about how Samantha is hot, Emily is cute, Ashley is hot but a queen bitch. Fuggin hell. Every other line of internal monologue or dialogue will just reiterate what someone else just said, often what the MC just said. Basically, no instance of dialogue feels like a conversation that humans would actually have. Just constant reiteration of their assigned mixed personality trait, Motherly/flirting, Cute/angry, Berating/sexual.
Just outright repeating past scenes in flashbacks that frankly has not needed it even once. And why is that?
You couldn’t possibly need it because very little actually happens between characters in most scenes. Calling this a slow burn is misleading because a slow burn might take time in advancing relationships but that does not mean it just repeats every single interaction between characters.
Every single scene is just the same. Same observations. Same reactions. Same conversations. Same dialogue. The fact that any sexual acts happen in between feels more incidental than anything else.
