My Thoughts on I Was Betrayed But It’s Okay haha

"I Was Betrayed But It’s Okay haha" certainly sparked some strong opinions, and after taking a look myself, I can see why. This novel promises a blend of comedy and fantasy, centered around a protagonist dealing with betrayal in an alternate world with game-like elements. While the premise has potential, the execution seems to be where things fall apart.

First Impressions

Going in, I was intrigued by the "betrayal" tag and the promise of some satisfying revenge. The initial chapters set the stage, introducing the ex-girlfriend and the circumstances of the betrayal. However, I quickly noticed the pacing felt a little off, and the writing style took some getting used to.

What Works Well

Honestly, the most compelling aspect seems to be the schadenfreude of watching the ex-girlfriend face the consequences of her actions. There's a certain appeal in seeing a character who wronged the protagonist get their comeuppance. The fast release schedule also helped keep me engaged despite my other misgivings.

Areas of Concern

Unfortunately, there are several areas where this novel stumbles. A central complaint seems to be the protagonist's density and questionable decision-making. His actions, especially concerning the ex-girlfriend and his relationships with other characters, often felt illogical and frustrating. The plot itself feels meandering and unfocused, with the story direction changing abruptly.

Another major issue is the world-building. The game elements, such as powers, dungeons, and skill points, are poorly explained, leading to inconsistencies and plot holes. Instead of clarifying these elements, the narrative often gets bogged down in repetitive praise of the protagonist, which becomes tiresome very quickly. The writing style could also be improved to make for easier reading.

Final Verdict

"I Was Betrayed But It’s Okay haha" has some initial appeal, particularly for those seeking a revenge story. However, the poorly explained world-building, dense protagonist, and meandering plot ultimately detract from the overall experience. While it might serve as a temporary distraction if you're truly out of other options, I can't wholeheartedly recommend it. It currently stands at a 2.7/5 for me.
