My Thoughts on After Squandering My Money, I Became Viral!

"After Squandering My Money, I Became Viral!" is a lighthearted and somewhat absurd story about a female lead who gets a second chance at life and decides to live it to the fullest, primarily through extravagant spending. It's a fun, fluffy read, but be aware that it might not be for everyone.

First Impressions

I dove into this novel expecting a fun, "salted fish" experience, and for the most part, it delivered. The initial premise of the female lead trying to spend all her money is definitely engaging, and the early chapters are quite enjoyable. It's a silly concept, but it's executed well enough to keep you hooked, at least initially.

What Works Well

The biggest strength of this novel is undeniably the female lead. Her carefree attitude and genuine enjoyment of spending money are infectious. She's not your typical cold or calculating protagonist; she's just a lovable, lucky, and slightly ridiculous character that is easy to root for. I also appreciated the focus on female friendships, which felt refreshing compared to other novels in the genre. The platonic relationships were a highlight.

Areas of Concern

A recurring concern is the plot's shift midway through the story. Several readers noted a change in direction, with the story seemingly becoming more focused on nationalistic themes and domestic products. This shift detracts from the initial premise and can make the latter half of the novel feel like propaganda. I also felt that the romantic subplot was underdeveloped. While the male lead is interesting, their interactions are limited, and their relationship feels more like a friendship than a romance. The ending also felt rushed, leaving some plot threads unresolved.

Final Verdict

"After Squandering My Money, I Became Viral!" is a fun, light read if you're looking for something silly and undemanding. However, be aware of the potential shift in tone and the underdeveloped plot elements. If you're expecting a deep or complex story, you might be disappointed. But if you're in the mood for a carefree protagonist who loves to spend money, this might be worth a try. I'd say it's a solid 3/5 stars.
