My Thoughts on Even My Arch-Enemy Wants to Top Today
"Even My Arch-Enemy Wants to Top Today" promised a comedic, spicy romp, and while it delivered on some fronts, it also stumbled in others. As a whole, the experience was uneven, and I came away with mixed feelings.
First Impressions
The title itself is a bit misleading. While the first couple arguably fits the "arch-enemy" dynamic, the other couples don't quite live up to that billing. I walked in expecting a series of rivals-to-lovers stories, but what I found was a collection of distinct pairings with varying degrees of animosity, or even prior acquaintance.
What Works Well
The second couple's arc was definitely a highlight for me. It struck a good balance between fluff, sweetness, angst, and drama. The relationship felt well-developed, and I found myself invested in their journey. It's the kind of story that makes you smile and root for the characters.
Areas of Concern
⚠️ Spoiler Warning: The following section contains spoilers about plot points and character relationships. ⚠️
One major issue I had was with some of the side pairings. The first story features a "suddenly straight" trope that felt jarring and poorly executed. A character who explicitly states she isn't attracted to men suddenly falls for a crossdressing friend, negating her previous declaration. This felt like a disservice to LGBTQ+ representation.
The age gap in another side couple also raised some red flags for me. The significant age difference between a man and a much younger woman felt uncomfortable, especially considering the power dynamics at play.
The third couple's arc took a dark turn that felt out of place with the rest of the novel. The introduction of yandere elements, pet play, and borderline abusive behavior was jarring and, frankly, disturbing. The excuses made for the MC's actions – blaming them on OCD – felt like a cop-out and undermined the seriousness of the situation. Additionally, the extras and the rushed development left much to be desired. I also noticed that the author has a habit of using the trope of "they secretly met in the past, and one of them remembers, while the other doesn't", which isn't bad, but it gets boring when it happened with every main couple.
Final Verdict
"Even My Arch-Enemy Wants to Top Today" is a mixed bag. While some elements, like the second couple's story, shine, others fall flat or even raise serious concerns. The uneven tone, problematic tropes, and questionable relationship dynamics make it difficult to give a wholehearted recommendation. If you're looking for fluffy, lighthearted yaoi, you might want to proceed with caution.
