My Thoughts on I Pretend to Be Good, You Pretend to Be Pure
"I Pretend to Be Good, You Pretend to Be Pure" promised a comedic romance, and it definitely delivered! The premise alone – two guys falling head-over-heels at first sight and then hilariously trying to become each other's "ideal type" – is pure gold. I found myself chuckling throughout the entire story. It's a lighthearted and entertaining read, perfect for when you need a pick-me-up.
First Impressions
Right from the start, I was hooked by the synopsis. The idea of a "bad boy" pretending to be innocent and a "seductive" character pretending to be pure had me eager to see how the story would unfold. The initial chapters didn't disappoint, immediately throwing me into the comedic chaos of their misunderstandings and desperate attempts to impress each other.
What Works Well
The main strength of this novel is undoubtedly its humor. The situations the main characters, RNM and AYX, find themselves in are genuinely funny, and their internal struggles are relatable, even if exaggerated for comedic effect. I especially enjoyed the role reversal, with the supposed "bad boy" RNM trying to act like a sunny golden retriever, while AYX, who moonlights as a BL voice actor, attempts to bury his desires under a façade of purity. The devotion between the two is also a huge plus. It’s sweet to see them so enamored with each other, even if their methods are a bit… misguided.
Areas of Concern
While the humor is a major draw, it can also be a potential drawback for some. There were moments where the "cringe comedy" went a little too far for my taste, inducing a bit of second-hand embarrassment. Also, the plot isn’t particularly deep or complex. The story unfolds within a month, which explains the characters' lack of in-depth knowledge about each other, but it also means that the development can feel a bit rushed at times.

Final Verdict
Overall, "I Pretend to Be Good, You Pretend to Be Pure" is a fun, fluffy, and entertaining read. If you're looking for a lighthearted comedy with a sweet romance and don't mind a bit of cringe, I highly recommend it. Just be prepared for some serious "dog food" moments and a whole lot of laughter. I'd give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
