My Thoughts on I Want to Have a Girlfriend Too
"I Want to Have a Girlfriend Too" is a completed original web novel, and after diving in, I have some thoughts. It's categorized as a comedy, harem, romance, and school life story, so I went in expecting a lighthearted read. And for the most part, that's what I got.
First Impressions
The beginning seems to be a sticking point for some readers. I noticed a few people felt the initial interactions, particularly with one of the potential love interests, felt a bit too harsh or relied on outdated "tsundere" tropes. Apparently, the female lead is overly aggressive and abusive, which is a turn-off for many. It seems like some found it difficult to connect with the characters initially because of this.
What Works Well
Despite the initial concerns, I found the protagonist to be quite likable. His goofy nature and the comedic situations he finds himself in kept me entertained. The story has a "Baka to Test" vibe, with silly interactions and a simple-minded MC. What really stood out to me was the character development. The heroines aren't static; they evolve and their personalities become more nuanced as the story progresses. The MC is goofy, but he's also surprisingly wise and helpful, making him relatable and easy to root for. The interactions between the MC and the heroines are also well-done, creating a fun dynamic. There's character progression and depth, which is a pleasant surprise.
Areas of Concern
The violence in the story might not be for everyone. There are scenes of the MC being beaten up by classmates or physically reprimanded by one of the heroines, which some readers found unnecessary and off-putting. Also, the harem aspect might be a drawback if you're not a fan of that genre. While some readers enjoyed the MC regardless of their feelings toward the love interests, others found the harem to be a central part of the story.

Final Verdict
Overall, "I Want to Have a Girlfriend Too" is a goofy romcom that offers more depth than initially expected. If you can get past the potentially off-putting beginning and some violent scenes, you might find yourself enjoying the comedic interactions, character development, and surprising plot twists. I'd recommend giving it a try if you're looking for a lighthearted and entertaining read, but be aware of the potential downsides.
