My Thoughts on I Was Confessed to by the Person I Was Admiring
"I Was Confessed to by the Person I Was Admiring" promised a lighthearted romance with a European noble setting, and while it had some initial charm, my overall experience was rather lukewarm. The premise is straightforward: a "fake" relationship blossoms between our female lead and the handsome male lead. While I'm always up for a good dose of fluffy romance, some aspects left me wanting more.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the shoujo genre and the promise of a reincarnated protagonist navigating noble society. The early chapters set the stage well enough, introducing the characters and the central conflict. However, the pacing felt a bit slow, and I wasn't immediately hooked. I found myself hoping for more depth and complexity as the story progressed.
What Works Well
The European-inspired setting is nicely rendered, adding a touch of elegance and grandeur to the narrative. The male lead is indeed handsome, and the initial interactions between him and the female lead have a certain spark. I could see the potential for a sweet and engaging romance to develop.
Areas of Concern
My biggest issue lies with the female lead. I struggled to connect with her, finding her a bit too passive and naive. While some degree of naivete can be endearing, it felt a little overdone here. I also found the constant belittling of the MCs appearance by the ML and his sister to be off putting.

Final Verdict
"I Was Confessed to by the Person I Was Admiring" has its moments, particularly in its setting and initial romantic setup. However, the slow pacing, and a somewhat underdeveloped female lead prevented me from fully investing in the story. While it might appeal to readers who enjoy very gentle and predictable romances, I personally found it to be just okay. I'd recommend it with reservations, suggesting readers manage their expectations going in.
