My Thoughts on After My Girlfriend Betrayed Me, I Was Picked Up by My Rich Childhood Friend
This title certainly grabbed my attention! "After My Girlfriend Betrayed Me, I Was Picked Up by My Rich Childhood Friend" promises a whirlwind of betrayal, rescue, and maybe even a little romance. After diving in, I've got some thoughts.
First Impressions
The story definitely hits the ground running. We're quickly introduced to the MC's terrible situation: cheated on, falsely accused, and seemingly abandoned by everyone. Then, bam, childhood friend to the rescue, complete with a fortune! It's a fast-paced opening that throws you right into the thick of things. Some might find it a bit rushed, but it definitely sets the stage for the drama to unfold.
What Works Well
The premise is undeniably appealing, and the translation quality seems solid, which is always a huge plus in my book. The initial chapters do a decent job of establishing the MC's predicament and introducing the mysterious childhood friend. There's a certain "so bad it's good" quality to parts of the story that I found oddly entertaining. It's the kind of novel where you might find yourself laughing at the absurdity of it all.
Areas of Concern
Okay, let's talk about the elephant in the room: the revenge aspect. Some readers might find the methods used to be…questionable, and perhaps even deeply disturbing. The ex-girlfriend's downfall is pretty extreme, and the MC's reaction to seeing her in such a state might rub some readers the wrong way. It raises questions about morality and whether the punishment truly fits the crime. The FMC's motivations and actions can feel a bit shallow. The reasons behind her devotion to the MC aren't always clear, and her over-the-top displays of wealth can detract from the story's emotional core.

Final Verdict
"After My Girlfriend Betrayed Me, I Was Picked Up by My Rich Childhood Friend" is a mixed bag. While the premise is intriguing and the initial chapters are engaging, the execution falters in certain areas. The revenge plot might be too extreme for some, and the characters could use more depth. If you're looking for a lighthearted and morally sound read, this might not be for you. However, if you enjoy over-the-top drama and don't mind some questionable choices, you might find some entertainment value here. I'm giving it a tentative 3/5 stars. It has potential, but it needs some serious refinement to truly shine.
