Description
That summer afternoon, spent beside the being who had become the heaviest in my world, with the verdure of the season deepening within the confines of my lone space, self-isolated from others. Solitude was no longer an option for me. A life without Woonu only promised loneliness. I lost my family and experienced the loneliness that lingered in their absence, living a lonesome life without holding anyone close to my heart, stewing in my solitude. Loneliness and solitude cannot coexist. Only those who have chosen solitude know of this truth. Solitude is a blank, and loneliness is a dearth that seeks to be filled. Because solitude is closer to nonpossession than it is to resignation, while loneliness is like a jar with a leaky bottom. That imperfectly solid blank of mine, built from my fleeing of loneliness, became desperate to contain a whole being. Woonu, having felt the rain at the tip of his fingers, arm stretched beyond the eaves, suddenly straightened his legs and leaned his upper body forward. “Huh? A green frog!” “Where? Are you sure you didn’t see wrong?” “There, over there! Oh, oh, it’s jumping!” “Oh, there really is one.” “Where did it come from? Has it always lived here?” I quietly gazed at the side of his face, his mouth agape with a bright smile adorning it. Where did you come from? Where did you come from for it to feel as though you’ve always been here?

My Thoughts on Fool
"Fool" is a complex and emotionally charged novel that really resonated with me. Diving into this story was like stepping into a world painted with both vibrant colors and somber shades, a testament to the author's skillful storytelling. The blend of adult themes, romance, and a touch of the taboo ("smut," as it's tagged) creates a reading experience that's both captivating and thought-provoking.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the premise of an anti-social protagonist and the promise of character growth. The "hikikomori" aspect immediately intrigued me, and I was curious to see how the author would handle such a delicate subject. The tags hinted at a rollercoaster of emotions – death, debts, depression – and I was prepared for a potentially heavy read.
What Works Well
What truly shines in "Fool" is the character development. The male leads are flawed, human, and relatable. The MC's journey from isolation and depression to finding solace and connection is particularly compelling. His struggles with his temper and communication, especially with Woonwoo, feel authentic. Woonwoo, on the other hand, is a ray of sunshine, a naive but not stupid character who chooses to see the good in others. Their dynamic is a beautiful dance of contrasting personalities, and their relationship feels earned. Many will find the writing style to be a major selling point, as its poetic and evocative nature really enhances the emotional impact of the story.

I highly recommend giving it a try, just be prepared to have your heartstrings tugged.
