My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU: An Ordinary Life

Aside from the part about Megumi being a bit confusing, everything else was great, especially the parts about Oregairu (Hikigaya's transformation was so cool!). I hope the author doesn't stop updating; it's been so long since I've read a novel that interested me this much 😢😢😢 Okay, I take back what I said earlier. It was pretty good at first, but the new chapters were really abrupt.

The protagonist was forcibly added to the Service Department. The rest of the story is pretty good. So far, the main character and Yukino have made a bet: if the main character's grades are worse than Yukino's, he'll join the club. Shizuka immediately gave the main character's essay a zero, and since the main character's grades were one point lower than Yukino's, he joined the club. There are no other toxic spots.

Well, the plot was very unique and captivating, but the later transition to a game-like style and then jumping back into melodramatic family drama felt a bit disjointed, like a jumbled mess of different storylines. However, the earlier parts of the plot were amazing, so thankfully...

The characters are very well-developed; even I, who haven't read the original work, was deeply impressed. Now, when I read those crossover harem novels, especially those with Yukinoshita or Kato vibes, I just can't accept them at all 😢 My reading slump is even worse now.

I was deeply moved and felt a sense of loss long after finishing the book. Although it only had 200 chapters, it still contained a lot of content. The "what if" ending provided a conclusion. I have so many things I want to say, but I can't express them all right now. Sigh, is this what youth is all about? The meaning of encounters between people is simply meeting...

It's good, the beginning is great, but the middle is not so good. The reason it's not good is because you haven't seen the first 60 pages; they're all foreshadowing. It's definitely off-putting, but you can bear with it. [Staring emoji]

Hmm... I'll just share my thoughts after reading it. The first 32 chapters were great, but... The forced inclusion felt a bit toxic. Even though I removed it later, it still felt like a hindrance. Why did they have to include it? Perhaps they could have approached it from the perspective of the author's character, Da Laoshi. The beginning was fine, but after it was added, it felt like a hindrance and I couldn't continue reading. Maybe it's just me, but others might like it. Good luck, author!

It's well-written. However, putting too much heavy stuff in a light novel feels a bit excessive. Since it's called a light novel, if it's too melancholic, I'm less inclined to read it. At least add a system or something to let the protagonist slaughter scumbags. Life is already hard enough; not letting me have a moment of enjoyment while reading a light novel is a bit much, haha.

The author writes beautifully, vividly portraying Yukino and Kato Megumi, and perfectly capturing the author's choices and anguish. Unfortunately, life doesn't always offer the best of both worlds; as a pure love story, a choice must ultimately be made. However, the later epilogue finally provides some closure for Megumi, leaving readers with much to ponder: how wonderful it would be if Yukino returned to Japan, reconciled with Akatsuki, and shared her life with Megumi!

It's a rare gem among Oregairu books, comparable to "Oregairu: The Genius Writer".
