I Want a Divorce, Please Stop Obsessing Over Me! Novel Review

My Thoughts on I Want a Divorce, Please Stop Obsessing Over Me!

"I Want a Divorce, Please Stop Obsessing Over Me!" certainly grabbed my attention with its intriguing title. Diving in, I found myself caught up in the blend of comedy, drama, and fantasy, a mix that can be either brilliantly executed or a complete mess. Thankfully, this story leans towards the former, though not without its bumps.

First Impressions

The initial chapters whisk you away into the protagonists' childhood, and I appreciated the fast-paced nature of their early years. The story doesn't linger unnecessarily, quickly setting the stage for the core conflict. I did find the illustrations charming, even if the characters' ages felt a bit off.

What Works Well

The relationship between the female lead (FL) and male lead (ML) is undoubtedly the heart of the story. Their dynamic, particularly as children, is sweet and engaging. The FL's determination to alter her tragic future by bringing the ML, a gladiator, home creates a fascinating premise. There's a definite appeal to the "childhood love" trope, and the hints of "camouflage marriage" add a layer of intrigue.

Areas of Concern

While the initial chapters are promising, I can see how the FL's reliance on the "book of prophecies" might become tiresome. A character constantly oscillating between trust and fear can be frustrating, and it appears the FL struggles with this internal conflict for a significant portion of the story. However, I'm also encouraged to hear that she eventually gains confidence in her ability to change her destiny, leading to a more compelling narrative.

Final Verdict

"I Want a Divorce, Please Stop Obsessing Over Me!" has the potential to be a delightful read. While the FL's initial indecisiveness might test your patience, the engaging relationship between the leads and the overarching plot of defying a predetermined fate offers enough to keep me invested. If you're willing to stick with it through the initial hurdles, you might find yourself enjoying this comedic, dramatic, and fantastical romance.
