Axe is a compelling character. I liked his manliness, his confidence, and his sexiness, and if I am honest, parts of him reminded me a bit of myself. He is very much an idealized masculine figure, capable, guarded, physically dominant, and clearly constructed to be desired. The chemistry between the two leads works from the start, and the sexual tension carries the story effortlessly.
The backstories are a little fantastical, but they fit the tone and add momentum rather than distraction. I especially enjoyed the mother and father scammers. That dynamic was strange, funny, and unsettling in a way that felt surprisingly believable. It is easy to see how growing up in that environment shapes people, how survival, deception, and desire become learned behaviors. They add more texture to the story than you might expect from what could have been throwaway characters.
What I appreciated most, looking back, is that beneath the sexy chaos there is something quietly thoughtful going on. Axe feels like a performance of an ideal man, just as the AI girlfriend represents a technological projection of desire. Both are about fantasy, control, and what it means to want connection without friction. The push and pull between attraction and resistance is not just sexual tension, it reflects a deeper discomfort with surrendering autonomy, whether to another person or to something designed to meet your needs too perfectly.
For a funny, sexy, slightly twisted romance with a wild AI premise, this was a blast to read. It knows exactly what it is, leans into it confidently, and still manages to sneak in a few ideas about desire, performance, and modern loneliness along the way. That combination made it even more enjoyable than I expected.
Juicy sex, twisted humour, AI girlfriends, so fun
