Fortunately, You Like Me Too

My Thoughts on Fortunately, You Like Me Too

Fortunately, You Like Me Too promised a sweet romance, and while it delivered in some aspects, my overall experience was a bit mixed. It's definitely a story that requires patience and a willingness to overlook some common tropes.

First Impressions

The initial setup is pretty standard: a seemingly unattainable male lead and a female lead who doesn't quite believe in her own worth. The story follows them from their school days into adulthood, and the premise of a long-standing, unrequited (or so it seems) love definitely piqued my interest. However, I quickly realized that the path to their happy ending wouldn't be smooth.

What Works Well

The novel shines when focusing on the male lead's unwavering devotion. Several readers praised his efforts and persistence, and I have to agree. There's a certain charm in seeing someone so dedicated to winning over the person they love. I also appreciated the character growth, even if it wasn't always consistent. The "youth to adulthood" storyline is a classic for a reason and when it works, it can be incredibly satisfying. Also, the translation is easy to follow and understand for the most part.

Areas of Concern

One of my biggest issues with the story was the lack of clear communication between the leads. Misunderstandings abound, and they often drag on for far too long. This trope, while common, felt particularly frustrating at times. I also found the female lead's character to be somewhat inconsistent. There were moments where she seemed strong and independent, but then she would revert to being insecure and self-deprecating. The side stories felt disorganized, and I wasn't always sure what they added to the overall plot.

Final Verdict

Fortunately, You Like Me Too is a fluffy, light read that might appeal to those who enjoy stories with devoted male leads and a focus on overcoming misunderstandings. However, be prepared for some frustrating moments and a plot that can feel a bit disorganized. It's not a perfect novel, but it has its charms. I'd recommend it for a casual read when you're in the mood for something sweet and low-stakes, but don't expect a groundbreaking or particularly original story.
