My Thoughts on After I Retired, My Former Disciples Become Obsessed With Me
Okay, so I dove into "After I Retired, My Former Disciples Become Obsessed With Me" with a healthy dose of curiosity, and I've got some thoughts. It's definitely a mixed bag, and while it has potential, it stumbled in a few areas for me.
First Impressions
The premise itself is intriguing: a protagonist who retires and then has to deal with the… intense affections of his former students. The initial chapters set the stage, introducing us to the world and the MC's circumstances. However, I felt that the initial setup was a little too familiar, leaning heavily on established tropes within the genre.
What Works Well
The snarky and petty nature of the MC is actually quite entertaining. His internal monologue and reactions to the world around him provide some much-needed levity. The author does a decent job of crafting a protagonist who, despite being potentially unlikeable, still manages to hold your attention. Also, the story does move at a decent pace. The plot points start taking shape fairly quickly, which is a plus.
Areas of Concern
The characters' intelligence is questionable. The interactions between the MC and the female lead felt forced and unnatural, making it difficult to invest in their dynamic. This is a pretty big issue, as their relationship is central to the story. There's also a sense of treading familiar ground. The "unjustly fired" revenge plot and the "EXP lending" mechanic have been done before, and I didn't feel like the author brought anything particularly fresh to the table.

Final Verdict
Ultimately, "After I Retired, My Former Disciples Become Obsessed With Me" is a story with some potential that, as of right now, struggles to fully realize it. The MC's personality and the fast-paced plot are definite strengths, but the uninspired character interactions and reliance on overused tropes hold it back. I'm giving it a tentative 2.5/5. It's not terrible, but it needs some serious refinement to truly shine. I'm not sure if I'll continue reading, but I hope the author can find their stride and elevate the story in future chapters.
