I Became Love Rivals With My Crush

My Thoughts on I Became Love Rivals With My Crush

This novel, "I Became Love Rivals With My Crush," was quite the experience, and I'm eager to share my thoughts. It's a fluffy yuri romance with a xianxia backdrop, and while it has its charms, it also has some quirks that are worth discussing.

First Impressions

Going in, I was intrigued by the premise – a transmigration story where the MC becomes entangled with her crush in a cultivation world. The early chapters definitely hooked me with the MC's humorous inner thoughts and the initial setup of the "love rivals" situation. However, that initial conflict was resolved incredibly quickly, which was a surprise.

What Works Well

The strongest aspect of this novel is undoubtedly the relationship between the two leads. Their chemistry is heartwarming, and I appreciated how devoted they were to each other. The MC's shamelessness paired with the FL's quiet indulgence created some genuinely funny and sweet moments. Many readers seem to agree that the romance is the highlight. I also found the familial love aspect refreshing, especially the close bond between the MC and her siblings. This added a layer of depth that I don't often see in similar stories.

Areas of Concern

While I enjoyed the fluff, I can understand why some readers might find it overwhelming. The romance progresses incredibly fast, almost to the point of feeling rushed. I also noticed the cultivation aspect takes a backseat. If you're expecting a deep dive into the xianxia world with intense training and battles, you might be disappointed. The world-building could have been more fleshed out. I also felt that some of the side characters and villains were a bit underdeveloped.

Final Verdict

Overall, "I Became Love Rivals With My Crush" is a lighthearted and enjoyable yuri novel that prioritizes fluff and romance. If you're looking for a quick, sweet read with minimal drama and a focus on the relationship between two adorable leads, this might be right up your alley. However, if you're seeking a complex plot, intricate world-building, or a slow-burn romance, you might want to adjust your expectations. I'd give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars for its strengths in character interactions and lightheartedness, but acknowledge its shortcomings in plot development and world-building.
