Engagement Annihilation

My Thoughts on Engagement Annihilation

Okay, so I dove into "Engagement Annihilation" knowing it was a quick read, a one-shot wonder in the shoujo fantasy world. Honestly, I came out a little bewildered, but also kind of amused. It's definitely a unique experience, and not always in the ways I expected.

First Impressions

My initial reaction was probably similar to others: "What is going on?" The story throws you right into the thick of things, and the naming conventions... well, let's just say "Papaya" and "Cherry" definitely stick in your mind! It's quirky, for sure, and sets a lighthearted tone, even if the plot itself is a bit bonkers.

What Works Well

For a short story, "Engagement Annihilation" packs a punch. The female lead is undeniably OP – strong from the get-go and not afraid to use her powers. There's a certain satisfaction in seeing her dismantle the typical villainess noble girl tropes and basically clear her path with ease. The brisk pace keeps things moving, and there's no time to get bogged down in unnecessary details. It's a complete, self-contained story, which is always a plus for a one-shot.

Areas of Concern

The story's brevity is also its biggest weakness. Because it's so short, there isn't much room for character development or world-building. The ending, while decisive, feels abrupt. I also felt that the FL was a bit too calm or even boring, not much to go on as a reader. It's a fun ride, but don't expect a deep or complex narrative.

Final Verdict

"Engagement Annihilation" is a strange but entertaining little snack. If you're looking for a quick, quirky read with an overpowered protagonist and don't mind a nonsensical plot, you might enjoy it. Just don't go in expecting a masterpiece. It's a fun, slightly baffling, and ultimately forgettable experience. I'd give it a solid 3 out of 5 stars for sheer audacity and entertainment value.
