Synopsis

I'm Yuuji Tomoki, a normal second-year student in high school. Perfectly normal, if not for the fact that everyone avoids me like the plague because I look like I'm out for blood. The only exception is the typical novel protagonist chad Haruma Ike. But one day, his sister Touka confessed to me! This chick just met me yesterday, what's she going on about?! In any case, I decided to be her fake boyfriend on account of my friendship with Haruma. But now even Haruma's idol-tier childhood friend and a smoking hot teacher is getting involved with me?! Hold up, this ain't a romcom wet dream! I mean, there's no way a sidekick like me could be popular, right?

Preliminary (20/? eps)
I was interested in this light novel after reading the plot. The genre of this light novel is high school romance. I am quite a newbie in light novels and I found it really enjoyable.

Story-9/10
This light novel has quite the different plot, so you might be engrossed in it depending on your reading genres.

Art-9/10
This is a light novel, so you cannot expect too much artwork, but each artworks given is commendable.

Character-9/10
The characters are really good. I really like the protagonist's personality. He is quite perceptive and not too dense which makes it enjoyable to read.

Saw this Novel on the first page so i thought why not give it a try.

As expected it was pretty cliche a lot of predictable stuff happening. Story wise for me it was pretty good we do have first person perspective and the extra's have the FL's perspectives like the average Light Novel i should say, even though there were a LOT of awkward and really cringe scenarios i still kinda-ish enjoyed those part.

Characters are pretty good i think the FL's developed really well in terms of how they act towards the MC and like i said its the classic rom-com really.

Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (24/? eps)
By far the most painfully predictable, cliche and average romcom I have ever witnessed. For a newcomer to romcoms this may be enjoyable, but others will probably be able to predict everything that happens here around 12 chapters in advance. It feels like every single cliche setup that exists in japanese romcoms is used here, with no originality. In addition, the art fails to convey the supposed scariness of the MC, making it hard to take seriously. The prose is also often somewhat painfully cringy, but I feel like that is more down to the translation than the original writing, so no hate for that.
