MY REVIEW:
This was so sweet and adorable and heartwarming. The cat stole my heart from the first chapter!
Pick this up if you want something to brighten your day. Or if you love pets in general lol. Super fluffy and heartwarming in a way that it makes your heart ache at the circumstances that the cat and his new owner were left in before they found each other.

3.5 STARS - I LIKED IT
MY REVIEW:
I really liked the overall mood of this webtoon. Noah and Rex and everyone else introduced in here are all jaded and mainly look out for themselves because the city is literally a trap of all the worst things in humanity. They grew up in a dog eat dog world where districts are run by corporate gangs, and it was tough to survive as orphans.
Noah was trapped as on one of the big boss's (Kahliya) lover, so he took a chance to run away with his money and had to deal with the fallout as best as he could, which was becoming the bait to lure Kahliya out for Rex's revenge. Of course, this is a romance webtoon, so feelings get involved even though Noah and Rex keep trying to rationalize their feelings because they both have different purposes. Watching all of the characters try to figure out who to trust and finding out how fucked up some of them are because of their history was really entertaining.
The art was great, the little chibis were cute and funny, the smut was hot, and the plot was good. If it went a little longer, I think it could have fleshed out some of the side characters, which would have helped with the climax. Other than that, this was a nice, somewhat quick webtoon to read.
