My Thoughts on First Date
"First Date" is a whirlwind of comedic chaos packed into a single, delightful oneshot. Honestly, I wasn't sure what to expect going in, but I came out the other side grinning. It's the kind of story that leaves you wanting more, even though it feels perfectly self-contained.
First Impressions
The premise alone is enough to grab your attention: a kidnapping gone hilariously wrong. The story throws you right into the thick of it. What really hooked me was the main character. He's... something else. Narcissistic? Absolutely. Talkative to the point of absurdity? Definitely. But somehow, endearingly so.
What Works Well
The humor is definitely the star of the show. The MC's constant stream of consciousness, while potentially headache-inducing, is undeniably funny. It's a masterclass in using dialogue to drive the plot and reveal character. I was particularly impressed by the cleverness behind the MC's rambling. It seems random at first, but there's a definite strategy to his incessant chatter, almost like a verbal judo, using the kidnapper's own assumptions against them. The way he manages to turn a terrifying situation into a potential romance is both absurd and strangely sweet. It's a refreshing take on the "love interest falls in love first" trope, amplified by the sheer ridiculousness of the circumstances. The story is also very cute and heartwarming.
Areas of Concern
Honestly, it's hard to find major faults in such a short and lighthearted piece. If I had to pick something, it would be that the MC's constant talking might not be for everyone. If you're not a fan of chatty characters, this might be a bit overwhelming. Also, the story's brevity means that character development is necessarily limited.

Final Verdict
Despite its brevity, "First Date" is a memorable and thoroughly entertaining read. It's a perfect example of how to do comedy well, with a dash of romance thrown in for good measure. If you're looking for a quick, funny, and heartwarming story to brighten your day, I highly recommend giving this oneshot a try. I'm giving it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
