My Thoughts on I Pampered the Perfect and Admired Senior at School, and Things Took a Drastic Turn
"I Pampered the Perfect and Admired Senior at School, and Things Took a Drastic Turn"—what a title! It certainly grabbed my attention, and I dove in expecting a sweet, maybe slightly angsty, school romance. What I found was...a bit more complicated.
First Impressions
Initially, the setup is classic: male protagonist, beautiful female lead, school life, all the familiar tropes. I was ready for a lighthearted read, the kind you breeze through in an afternoon. The "pampering" aspect hinted at a doting relationship, which is always fun to see play out.
What Works Well
The slice-of-life aspects are definitely a strength. The author does a decent job of portraying the everyday experiences of high school or college students. The initial stages of the relationship, before things get messy, are genuinely sweet. You can see the appeal of the female lead and understand why the male protagonist falls for her. The author also makes you believe that the lead is truly perfect and admired by all.
Areas of Concern
Okay, here's where things get tricky. The biggest issue I had, and I suspect many others will share, is the…shall we say, unconventional approach to relationships. The story takes a pretty drastic turn into territory that some readers might find morally questionable. I'm not going to sugarcoat it: infidelity plays a significant role, and the male lead's reaction to it might not sit well with everyone. It definitely took me by surprise and shifted my entire perspective on the story. It felt like a betrayal to me as a reader.

Final Verdict
"I Pampered the Perfect and Admired Senior at School, and Things Took a Drastic Turn" is a bit of a mixed bag. While the initial setup and slice-of-life elements are enjoyable, the later developments might alienate some readers. It's definitely not the fluffy romance I initially expected. If you're okay with morally gray characters and unconventional relationship dynamics, you might find it intriguing. But if you're looking for a straightforward, feel-good romance, you might want to steer clear. Overall, I'd give it a tentative 3 out of 5 stars. Proceed with caution!
