The story has blackmail which is not good, but you can tell the character is doing so without malicious intent and is only using it as a way to create a connection between him and the professor. Most of their interactions are the generic type ones, lots of misunderstanding tropes, etc. The story itself is fine, progresses at a decent pace, the professor doesn't yet know the student's big secret by the time they begin to have an intimate relationship, so there's drama on the horizon.

However... I hate the sex. It's atrocious. The art is fine, but the absolute nonconsensual BS that the author wrote as their first time having penetrative sex... It's legit garbage. I have seen many stories which have the unsure, dubious consent, etc tropes that make up 90% of sex scenes in manga. The bottom is unsure, says it's too big, yikes it hurts a bit, but then feels better almost immediately and says he wants more. This one has the bottom saying 'no it hurts' all throughout prep, all throughout the sex, and still upset as the top goes for multiple rounds. The top coerces, saying stuff about how his feelings will be hurt if the bottom didn't want to have sex, it's how he'll show his love by enduring, etc. Totally not in line with the gradual build up of feelings from both sides, and honestly ruined how I viewed the top. Do not like. If I wanted to read that kinda stuff, I'd be rereading Killing/Stalking or something else marketed as such. Honestly, it kinda marred my opinion of the whole story.
