   The author of "Gentle Wild Bones" is highly suspected to be from the financial industry; they're incredibly professional. The humility of those in power is evident, and the female lead is quite clear-headed. The later parts get a bit angsty, a little bit, with the male lead being thoroughly manipulated (he has a mouth, but it's sharp-tongued). "Top-Tier Succubus" is also incredibly popular; this kind of male lead should be one in a household! The overall style is quite lighthearted, with the male lead showing immense respect for the female lead—a guiding lover. It's still ongoing, but it's worth the wait.
