My Thoughts on I Tell You Monster
"I Tell You Monster" promised a unique blend of genres, and after diving in, I can say it mostly delivers. It's a strange brew of detective work, monster girls, and a dash of the supernatural, all wrapped up in a world that feels both familiar and utterly alien.
First Impressions
I was immediately drawn in by the premise. The protagonist, navigating a world where "unlaws" (monsters) exist and integrating into a police force tasked with handling them, felt fresh. The initial mysteries were intriguing, and the hints of a larger, perhaps darker, plot kept me hooked. The dynamic between the characters also grabbed my attention.
What Works Well
The romance aspect is definitely a highlight. The protagonist isn't your typical oblivious male lead; he's perceptive and responsive, which makes the interactions with the female characters genuinely enjoyable. The author does a great job of creating sweet and flirtatious moments. I also appreciated the mystery elements. The cases presented are engaging, and I found myself trying to piece together the clues alongside the protagonist. The action sequences were well-paced and didn't drag on, providing a good balance with the other elements of the story.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the overall experience, the world-building felt somewhat lacking. I was left with many questions about the world's history, the origins of the "unlaws," and the overall political landscape. The story throws you into the thick of things without much explanation, which can be disorienting. I also felt that some aspects of the plot are delivered through dialogue rather than being explicitly shown through the narrative. This requires the reader to actively piece things together, which may not appeal to everyone.
Final Verdict
"I Tell You Monster" is a fun and engaging read with a unique blend of genres. The strong romance, intriguing mysteries, and proactive protagonist make it stand out. While the world-building could be more fleshed out, the strengths of the story outweigh its weaknesses. I'm eager to see where the story goes and how the relationships between the characters develop. I would recommend this novel to anyone looking for a light-hearted, action-packed story with a touch of mystery and romance.
