Falling in Love in the Supernatural World

My Thoughts on Falling in Love in the Supernatural World

"Falling in Love in the Supernatural World" is definitely a novel that sparks conversation, and after diving in, I can see why. This story blends action, fantasy, horror, mystery, and romance into a relatively short package, and the result is... complicated. It's a story that left me with mixed feelings, but ultimately, I found it a worthwhile read.

First Impressions

Okay, let's be real – the protagonist, Finch, is divisive. A lot of readers seem to either love him or hate him, and initially, I was leaning towards the latter. He comes across as shallow, chasing after the male lead (ML) because of his looks and, later, his wealth. I can see how this rubbed some people the wrong way, painting him as opportunistic and even a bit "cheap." However, as I continued reading, I started to see more layers to Finch, a vulnerability beneath the surface.

What Works Well

The supernatural elements are genuinely intriguing. Each "world hopping" scenario felt like a mini horror puzzle, keeping me engaged and eager to see how Finch would navigate the dangers. I appreciate that the solutions, while not always predictable, felt logical within the story's framework. The overarching mystery that connects these seemingly disparate events also adds a compelling layer to the narrative. The romance, while not always smooth sailing, felt realistic in its own way. The characters both have flaws they need to work through, and their relationship isn't a fairy tale.

Areas of Concern

My main issue lies with the character development, or lack thereof, for characters other than Finch. The side characters felt underdeveloped, and I was left wanting more depth and exploration of their motivations. The pacing, while generally good, sometimes felt rushed, particularly towards the ending. Some plot points felt glossed over, leaving me with unanswered questions.

Final Verdict

Despite its flaws, I enjoyed "Falling in Love in the Supernatural World." It's a quick, engaging read with an intriguing blend of genres. While the protagonist might not be everyone's cup of tea, his flaws make him feel more human, and the supernatural mysteries kept me hooked. If you're looking for a short, spooky romance with a flawed but ultimately likable protagonist, give this one a try. I'm giving it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
