It's about a guy who's kind of your awkward otaku (interested in a YouTuber or streamer) being in a relationship with a gyaru who has been with other guys and slept with them in the past due to believing that sex is an obligation in a relationship and really the main reason why guys get together with her, so not having a proper view on what love and relationships actually are beyond dudes just using her as a tool and throwing her away when she's not as interesting to them anymore.

It's a high school romance light novel series with a slightly gloomy female lead early on, but of course, grows as she learns more about the wonders of being in a relationship with a guy that treats her in a way that's beyond just sex, even if Ryuuto himself isn't exactly the most unique protagonist ever and he shares quirks with your awkward MCs in a wish-fulfillment kind of way as he's this loser that ends up lucky (guy had to confess after losing a bet) initially but is kind enough to want her to change her perspective on relationships and clouded view of love in the long run.

That's the gist of it in a bit of detail I guess to expand a little on the synopsis.

That's like the most generic shlock possible LMAO

I won't argue with that lol. Not a fan of the series myself whatsoever, it's just one I happened to read a long time ago although only the first 2 volumes. From what I remember of the 2 volumes, it gets even more generic and corny as time passes with other characters involved.

Honestly I dropped it, the girl is just stupid beyond belief, calling her an airhead is a stretch. It gets pretty wholesome for the most part unless when there's a flashback and those flashbacks always gets my blood boiling because of stupid and naive the girl is.

FMC isn’t a slut on that one she’s actually a virgin but his one isn’t

Animillion said:

Not being a virgin doesn’t mean a girl is a slut. In this scenario tho the girl has an abnormally high body count for her age. I don’t get how they made her stupid enough for her not to realize after the 2nd or even 3rd guy that she wasn’t ready to have a relationship (or that the guys around her were scum).

AnOnYmOuS__101 said:
while you aren’t incorrect that’s the reason she a slut not only is her body count literally more than half her age she never even understood what was happening like come on man how stupid is that did she never think she was being used even after her second guy. Also just so yu know she literally slept with them the second they started dating if that ain’t slut idk what is. If it were 2 guys then yea I’d understand but more than half her age that’s just dumb

I agree that this girl is definitely messed up

Ah, where do I even begin with this web of storytelling... "Bound by Fate: His High School Love Affair"? The title should've been my first warning sign, and yet, I trudged on—my curiosity is a curse, I swear.

As a devoted anime enthusiast and a connoisseur of light novels, I'm no stranger to characters that tread outside the realm of 'typical'. Yet, this narrative, my friends, goes beyond that. Here, we are introduced to a female lead who frolics through the plot like a flagrant libertine, compromising the very essence of character development.

What's worse? Our 'golden boy' main character seems to be ensnared by this inexplicably promiscuous siren. It's as if he's stuck in some bizarre vortex where common sense has taken an extended vacation. Let me say this, my fellow readers: there's a fine line between quirky character traits and unmitigated disregard for the values we uphold.

Chastity and fidelity might seem old-school, but they're the pillars of any profound relationship narrative. However, in this tale, these elements have been kicked aside, replaced by an insidious message that it's all fair game in love. Oh, but it isn't!

Now, I get it, authors often push boundaries. But remember the line between 'bold' and 'ill-conceived'. Our dear authoress here, I'm afraid, has crossed that line and ventured into the abyss of the latter.

The female lead, as seductive as she's meant to appear, feels more like a caricature than a fully fleshed-out character. It's as if the author's idea of being 'different' is creating a character who is, for lack of a better term, off the rails. Her behavior, far from being quirky or edgy, simply feels inappropriate.

Then there's our unfortunate male lead, the supposed 'good guy', who is inexplicably drawn to this whirlwind of a woman. Despite his previously established principles and the author's attempts to paint him as an upstanding character, he falls for her. I mean, is this meant to be a love story or a cautionary tale?

I could ramble on, but let's be succinct: there's pushing the envelope, and then there's sending it off the cliff. This story? It's doing a swan dive right off that precipice.
