I Think My Boyfriend is Sick Novel Review

My Thoughts on I Think My Boyfriend is Sick

"I Think My Boyfriend is Sick" promised a lighthearted romp, and for the most part, it delivered. This yaoi novel, with its focus on comedy and romance, seemed like the perfect palate cleanser after diving into some heavier reads. I went in expecting silly misunderstandings and a cute couple dynamic, and that's largely what I got.

First Impressions

The initial hook was definitely the premise: a couple hilariously misinterpreting each other's actions, leading to escalating assumptions about a supposed "ailment." The short, punchy chapters, often just a few paragraphs long, made it incredibly easy to binge. It's the kind of story you can devour during a lunch break or a lazy afternoon. I also found the lack of character names quite interesting; it added to the story's simplicity and focused the attention squarely on the "me and my boyfriend" dynamic.

What Works Well

The humor is definitely the strongest point. The MC's internal monologue is a chaotic delight, and the misunderstandings, while sometimes stretched thin, are genuinely funny. I found myself chuckling at the sheer absurdity of their assumptions. The shift in perspective, from the MC to the ML, was also a smart move. It added another layer to the comedy and allowed me to see the situation from both sides. The devoted and doting nature of the love interests was also a major plus; it's always enjoyable to read about a couple who clearly care for each other, even if they're terrible at communicating.

Areas of Concern

I can see why some readers might find the central misunderstanding dragged out. While I personally enjoyed the comedic effect, I understand how it could become frustrating after a while. There were times when I wanted to shake both characters and tell them to just talk to each other! Also, some found the ML's personality shift towards the end a bit jarring, feeling like it didn't quite align with his earlier portrayal.

Final Verdict

Despite some minor pacing issues and potential character inconsistencies, "I Think My Boyfriend is Sick" is a fun, fluffy read that's perfect for when you need a dose of lighthearted humor. If you're willing to suspend your disbelief and embrace the silliness, you'll likely find yourself charmed by this adorable couple and their ridiculous misunderstandings. I'd recommend it for anyone looking for a quick, easy, and entertaining story that doesn't take itself too seriously.
