My Thoughts on I Always Wanted to Pounce on that…
Alright, let's dive into "I Always Wanted to Pounce on that…" This novel is a quirky blend of comedy, romance, and shounen ai that had me chuckling more than I expected. The premise alone – a gangster dead set on seducing a police officer – is enough to pique anyone's curiosity, and the execution, for the most part, lives up to the initial intrigue.
First Impressions
From the get-go, the story throws you into the MC's rather… unique… perspective. He's a gangster with a one-track mind, and that mind is focused squarely on the object of his affection. The title itself is a perfect reflection of his intentions, and I appreciated that the story actually delivers on its promise, unlike some of those clickbait titles we often see.
What Works Well
The humor is definitely a highlight. The MC's antics, while sometimes bordering on the absurd, are consistently funny. He's portrayed as a simple, imaginative soul, and the narration often makes him appear a bit clueless, like a "silly big dog," as one reader put it. But I think that's part of the charm. His unwavering determination, despite the numerous awkward and often failed attempts to woo the police officer, is genuinely endearing. I found myself rooting for him, even when I probably shouldn't have been. The easy-going life and modern day setting made it relatable and easy to imagine the story unfolding.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the overall experience, the ending did leave me wanting more. It's optimistic, sure, but also somewhat open-ended. I was definitely left curious about the future of their relationship and wishing for a little more closure.
Final Verdict
Despite the slightly ambiguous ending, "I Always Wanted to Pounce on that…" is an entertaining and hilarious read. If you're looking for a lighthearted story with a healthy dose of absurdity and a unique romantic pairing, I'd definitely recommend giving this one a try. I'm giving it a solid 4 out of 5 stars. It's not perfect, but it's certainly a fun ride.
