After Being Banished From the Celebrity Family I Supported Behind the Scenes, All I Want Is To Enjoy a Normal Life Novel Review

My Thoughts on After Being Banished From the Celebrity Family I Supported Behind the Scenes, All I Want Is To Enjoy a Normal Life

Alright, let's dive into this title. It's quite a mouthful, but the premise is pretty straightforward: guy gets the boot from his celeb family after doing all the behind-the-scenes heavy lifting. Will he find happiness and will his family rue the day they underestimated him? Let's see if it delivers.

First Impressions

Honestly, my first impression was…cautious. It felt like a standard wish-fulfillment story, and, well, it kind of is. We've got the classic setup – a protagonist who's secretly amazing at everything, a family that treats him like dirt, and the promise of a spectacular downfall for those who wronged him.

What Works Well

The core appeal definitely lies in the escapism. It's satisfying to imagine a scenario where someone unappreciated gets their due and finds people who truly value their skills. The promise of a harem forming around the MC is also a pretty standard draw for this genre. The story has a certain charm to it. It's easy to get invested in seeing the MC's new life unfold, especially as he encounters people who recognize and appreciate his talents.

Areas of Concern

My biggest issue lies in some of the narrative choices. The POV chapters, which essentially repeat the dialogue from previous chapters with added commentary, feel redundant and disruptive. It's like watching a movie with director's commentary that just reiterates what you're already seeing. It doesn't add anything substantial to the story and actually detracts from the overall flow. Also, the MC's supposed "imposter syndrome" feels a bit over the top, considering his extensive skill set. It's a common trope, but here it felt a little forced. Finally, the description of the MC as a "small, cute boy" despite being 18 might not appeal to all readers.

Final Verdict

After Being Banished From the Celebrity Family I Supported Behind the Scenes, All I Want Is To Enjoy a Normal Life is a fairly standard entry in the genre. If you're new to these kinds of stories, you might find it enjoyable. However, if you're a seasoned reader looking for something groundbreaking, this might not be it. It's a decent time-killer, but don't expect anything too revolutionary.
