Kinda disappointed as I can see there’s a decent, if not original idea here. I wish the author tried to write some other things before taking on something this ambitious. If you’ve read immortal supers or Saving supervillains, this if very reminiscent of that, just nowhere near the quality. Those series were written by very experienced authors. The first dozen or so chapters are a real slog to get through, the entire series has pacing issues, but the first dozen are the worst, and cringe in other ways. Something happens to mc and is glossed over, not talked about/processed like real people. Spoilers, but we aren't told/isn’t made clear that the MC is addled for most of the series. The author kinda expects you to read between the lines about the mc’s specific inebriation. The characters all use and abuse each other, withhold sex for behavior, just lots of red flags in a normal relationship. The MC doesn’t want to open their relationship but the fmc does, may turn off some people. Maybe it's a result of living in a society with mind control powers, but they are all super casual about having their memories and behaviors manipulated. You will have to suspend your disbelief reading this a lot. It picks up a lot after book three, not really any issues with it after that, so your persistence is rewarded. Books 3+ are close to five stars as a haremlit can get, but the first three are much more questionable.
