I Just Want to Be in a Relationship

My Thoughts on I Just Want to Be in a Relationship

This novel was a delightful surprise! Going in, I was expecting a fairly standard entertainment circle romance, but what I found was a heartwarming story about connection, growth, and accepting love in unexpected forms. It definitely earned its high rating.

First Impressions

Initially, the premise of a reborn actor with incredible luck seemed a bit much, I'll admit. I was worried it would be overly saccharine or rely too heavily on plot contrivances. However, I quickly found myself charmed by the characters and invested in their journey. The "slice of life" feel is strong, which created a comfortable and engaging reading experience.

What Works Well

The strength of this novel lies in its characters, particularly the main couple. Many readers praised the well-developed relationship between the MC and ML, and I wholeheartedly agree. The ML, in particular, is a standout. His unique characterization, portrayed as a genius with autism, brings a fresh perspective to the "doting love interest" trope. I found their interactions incredibly sweet and realistic, with both characters showing genuine effort to understand and support each other. The MC's development, from a somewhat jaded reborn actor to someone willing to embrace vulnerability, was also compelling. The fluffy and lighthearted tone is a welcome change from angstier stories, making it a perfect comfort read.

Areas of Concern

While I thoroughly enjoyed the novel, I can see where some readers might find fault. The MC's initial acting skills being already mastered could remove a layer of potential conflict. Also, the story's reliance on the MC's luck might feel a little too convenient for some, though the ultimate explanation for it is quite touching. Also, a small number of readers expressed disappointment in one instance of the ML misunderstanding the MC's intentions, but that was quickly resolved.

Final Verdict

"I Just Want to Be in a Relationship" is a gem of a novel. If you're looking for a fluffy, heartwarming, and character-driven romance with a unique twist, I highly recommend giving this one a try. Be prepared for a serious case of the warm fuzzies and maybe even a few tears!
