There was no adultery tag when I first started reading this, but the translator mentions it before the prologue and it drove me nuts wondering where the adultery was. But turns out the leads have fiance's, it's unclear if they actually are in a relationship with their intended or if this is an arranged marriage thing, but technically it is adultery.

There's not much plot, just a bullied maid finding herself having an affair with a h**ny beast who strangely enough hasn't lost control and penetrated her yet. The MC makes assumptions with no real basis, and she's easily led by the ML. I don't know if I should feel bad for her or not.

But what really takes me away from the story is the translator's notes that keep jerking me out of the story, and that the ML comes off as h**ny and nothing else. I literally don't know anything about his personality except he really really likes s*x and has the self-restraint not to go too far despite his constant horniness.

On the bright side, there is a female friendship introduced in the current chapter, always nice to see.

It's a nice and fluffy story story, I think.

... more>>
Spoiler

The story is about a s*upid commoner lower rank maid apprentice that can easily manipulate and a h**ny dog commander of a knight.

You will find their first interaction iirritated because of the s*upidity of MC. Like allowing the senior maid to bully her and listening to them that she used a seductive lingerie in front of a scary commander while saying 'give me your compassion (?) '. She's too s*upid thinking a hungry wolf like ML will listen to her knowing what she wears and says and let escape a free. She's too naive about men, tsk.

She's way too easy to manipulate and every now and then will present herself infront of a f*ck h**ny hungry wolf.

The interesting part is the POV of ML, he was a possessive maniac wolf and hilariously funny, but he really fell inlove with her 'cos she has both beauty and body as well as she's not afraid of him.

Anyways, they really got married in the end and has a son

[collapse]

This story will get your interest if you also like smut with cute (i think) story... it's a good story if you have no choice in mind xD

Anyway, thanks to translator, he/she tranlated this story really fast and I like his/her comments in every chance he/she can get xD <<less

I especially love ML's pov, he's so funny and cute!! (❁´▽`❁) 4.5 stars for translator's work and its quality. 3.5 star for romance development. FL was wishy-washy about their social status, but ML breaks through them and bravely charge ahead. Rather fast paced! 4 star for characters. The story were nicely detailed on every characters involved, very straightforward, story with good pace. Other than slow and meek FL, maybe that's what her character for. Nevertheless there's the strong domineering ML so I have no complain. (Haha)

It's the first time I've seen a FL admit to having such a weak willed character in a story. It's enlightening to have such a heroine be self knowledgeable about their irritating weakness. Overall, the plot is weak like most of these stories, but it holds up ok for such a short story. I like the translations, but one of the greatest irritations from this translator is the constant and distracting editorial comments. It's not just this story, but any of the stories that are translated by them. It really... more>> disrupts the flow of reading. <<less

Honestly, I didn't hold much expectation when I picked up this novel because many novels with sm*t tag often didn't have any interesting plot. This novel is surely one of them.

Spoiler
  1. First of all, MC's character. She is a daughter of a wealthy merchant. Although she's a commoner, she could still live comfortably for the rest of her life. So I don't quite understand why she choose to be a maid and do a rough job instead of helping her parent managing their business. It's not like her job as maid is so awesome that she couldn't bear to be part from it. Instead, it's so tiring and she often get bullied.
  2. What MC expect is going to happen when she wears a sexy babydoll in front of a healthy man? I don't know if she's just ignorant or simply too dense.
  3. Why her bully suddenly becomes her close friend? And what about Margo?
  4. The king and ML's relationship is so weird. Are they really only a friend?

For the life of me, I don't know how I managed to finish this absolute horror of a novel. I think I got hooked up with the Smut tag and because I am very fickle when it comes to Smutty books; I tried reading this.

First off the Female Lead has no substance whatsoever. She just let others constantly bully her, even going as far as telling her to offer herself to the Knight Commander. Her relationship with others were so rushed she suddenly became friends with the person who always... more>> bullied her! And I personally could not understand how that happened because I was personally bullied back then, even now I still curse those son of a b*tches.

I think the only part I enjoyed and made actual sense was the last extra, which showed the POV of the Knight Commander. He tried to make rumors between him and the FL but everyone around him were tight lipped so no rumors circulated as planned. LMFAO.

So in conclusion, read this when you are absolutely bored out of your mind and are looking to read something smutty because you're fickle AF. LOL. <<less

I'm so sorryyy but I couldn't even finish ch 1 T__T the translator kept popping up their comments e-ve-ry-whe-reeeeee!

Pls pls pls zuben, I know you worked hard to trans it for free, but pleaaaseee can you just open a discord chat or sth T_T I want to read your hard earned translation, not your personal thoughts.

If the translator comments were not there, I suppose I would read though until the end.

The smut is pretty ok, the FL is so brainless it hurts. The ML POV chapters were like a breath of fresh air... If I were rating on story alone only 3 stars... BUT the translators comments are the BEST! 5 stars for the translator saving the day!

The story was short and sweet with a hint of comedy. The author made a lot of plot holes in the story to make it quick and short.

The FL is wish-washy about her status and she basically have no personality. The ML is full of lust (which I don't blame him). What bothers me the most is how the FL has no come sense but, that shows how innocent she is. The lack of common sense is basically the comedy in the story.

Overall, The story is quick, short and sweet... more>> with fluff. Personally I won't go back to read but, still good in a sense. <<less

A light smutty novel... perfect for a 2-hour break when you have nothing to do and just want to read the story to relax.

Nothing special but not horrible either, as I said a sweet, comic, and short story.

The best part was the MC's pov.... and of course the random comments of the author ?

I give this 5☆ for Lionel's pov. In 2 chapters he has more personality than the FL.

The FL is easily led by the nose by people around her. This was made into a joke that she can't say no to people and has low level of restrain.

If you want a fluffy short story, then this would be a good recommendation. It only has a bit of drama, but not too much where you are at the point of committing mu*der. The ML is quite straightforward. He doesn't beat around the bush, and he can be quite sly.

Translation is great and the comments of Zuben are always fun (come on, we all know Zuben adds comments and gives warning before novel itself, so no point nagging here).

Story is short and positive. Though, turn OFF thinking. It is too silly (euphemism). Ok for quick reading, not worth reading twice

Short, sweet and mostly inoffensive. Can't really dock the plot's ridiculousness when that's the point in the first place and even then it's handled really well for comedic effect.

Short, sweet, and cute. A little bit of spiciness, but not anything heavy. It's a very short story, so it doesn't allow much for the characters or background to be fleshed out, which left me wanting more. But still a satisfying quick read.

If you’re looking for something quick, light-hearted and funny, while also extremely cringey, eye-roll inducing and gag-worthy, then hey try this quickie ;)

Jokes aside, it’s not all bad. The plot moves pretty fast but it’s enough to kind of give the characters a little bit of life and not just a simple r18 novel. However, as I said above, it is seriously cringey. Props to the translator Zuben for the laughs. Makes the whole read worth it.

Main character is soooo dry. She’s like a puppet. Driven along by everyone... more>> else. Also far too focused on “omg our societal classes are too different so I can’t marry you”, like girl, I’d marry him in a heartbeat, screw society (basically the ML tho lol). I like the male lead; a bit stalkerish but still cute. There are plot holes everywhere regarding some of the background stuff, nothing too major and gets straight to the point. Do read til the end for the ML’s POV; so damn hilarious ? Not even joking. Makes the whole story better.

Anyway, it’s a basic and fluffy story, some really flowery smut and overall, not too dramatic. <<less

It's a very short and light novel. You obviously can't take it very seriously because then you start seeing many of the plot holes and the many things the author just skips over or quickly resolves to get the story moving.

Actually, if you take it seriously, the ML's POV chapters could actually make it very dark - or more comedic, depends on how you take it.

Overall, it's a quick and funny read, the comments from the translator makes it even more fun, wouldn't really go back to it but it... more>> does it's job. <<less

I think this is an excellent parody.

The FL knows that she literally has no personality. The ML goes for her cuteness, and he is also manipulative enough to concoct a plan to make her marry him.

The story by itself is kind of lackluster. Multiple characters should have been more fleshed out. The subtle comedy was good.

... more>> The smut is really good. Like, quite erot*c and excellent. The translation notes add up a good humor to this story, in addition the ML pov extras.

On the whole, this story is not quite good by itself. But the translation is worth a read, especially for those with a taste for the erotic.

This is not Mango approved. <<less
