After I Rescued a Beautiful Woman From a Stalker, She Started Spoiling Me and Turning Me Into a No-Good Freeloader

My Thoughts on After I Rescued a Beautiful Woman From a Stalker, She Started Spoiling Me and Turning Me Into a No-Good Freeloader

Alright, let's dive into this title. It's certainly a mouthful, and the premise is… well, it's definitely something. I went in expecting a lighthearted, possibly ridiculous, wish-fulfillment story, and that's largely what I got. However, there are a few things to unpack.

First Impressions

The initial chapters grabbed my attention with the classic "hero saves damsel" trope, but with a twist: the damsel is incredibly wealthy and decides to repay our average-looking protagonist with lavish gifts and support. It's the kind of scenario that makes you think, "Hey, maybe I should start rescuing people from stalkers!" The writing itself isn't groundbreaking, but it's competent enough to keep you reading.

What Works Well

The core concept, while a bit absurd, is undeniably engaging. There's a certain charm in watching the protagonist get pampered and navigate this sudden shift in his life. I also appreciated the slice-of-life elements, which offered a glimpse into their daily routines and interactions. The main heroine's devotion is a key element and it's interesting to see how she tries to solve all his problems.

Areas of Concern

However, I did find myself raising an eyebrow at a few aspects. The "no-good freeloader" part of the title doesn't entirely ring true, at least not yet. He's trying to get back on his feet, which makes him more sympathetic than the title suggests. My bigger issue lies with the harem aspect. While it's tagged as such, the way the protagonist seems to effortlessly attract other women felt a bit contrived and, frankly, unnecessary. It felt like a forced addition rather than a natural progression of the story. Also, the age gaps between the protagonist and some of the love interests are worth noting.

Final Verdict

After I Rescued a Beautiful Woman From a Stalker, She Started Spoiling Me and Turning Me Into a No-Good Freeloader is a fairly standard wish-fulfillment story that is a decent way to pass the time if you don't mind the harem elements. It's not a literary masterpiece, but it offers a lighthearted escape for those looking for a bit of escapism. Just be prepared to suspend your disbelief and maybe lower your expectations a tad.
