Description
I’ve always liked the girl next door, my childhood friend, ever since kindergarten. Recently, we’ve grown a bit distant because she said it was embarrassing if people gossiped about us. But, just before graduating middle school, I mustered up the courage and confessed my feelings. It didn’t work out. To make things worse, she got a boyfriend just one week into high school. I almost fell into a dark place, but one day, after reading an online novel… I decided to change. With glasses.

My Thoughts on I Was Rejected by My Childhood Friend Who Lives Next Door, But I Found Something to Love and Recovered. Thanks to That, I’m Now a Fine, Scheming Guy with Glasses
First Impressions
Okay, that title is a mouthful, right? But it definitely piqued my interest. The premise – rejected childhood friend turns scheming mastermind – sounds like a fun twist on a classic trope. I dove in expecting a lighthearted, possibly comedic, story about self-improvement and maybe a little revenge.
What Works Well
The core concept is definitely the strongest point. I enjoyed seeing Shinya's transformation. It's always satisfying to watch a character pick themselves up after a setback and reinvent themselves. The comedic undertones were also a plus. It kept the story from getting too bogged down in melodrama, which I appreciated. The idea of him becoming a "scheming guy with glasses" specifically because of the rejection is inherently funny, and the story leans into that. It's a quick, easy read that offers a bit of escapism.
Areas of Concern
Honestly, the biggest letdown was the ending. It felt rushed and incomplete. The story builds up this interesting new persona for Shinya, but it doesn't really deliver on the potential of that transformation. I wanted to see more of his scheming in action, more of the consequences of his change, and a more satisfying resolution to the initial rejection. It felt like the story was cut short just when it was getting really interesting. Also, while the humor is there, it doesn't always land perfectly. Sometimes it felt a little forced, like it was trying too hard to be funny.
Final Verdict
"I Was Rejected by My Childhood Friend Who Lives Next Door, But I Found Something to Love and Recovered. Thanks to That, I’m Now a Fine, Scheming Guy with Glasses" is a decent, albeit flawed, one-shot. It's a fun, quick read with a unique premise and some genuinely funny moments. However, the rushed ending and somewhat underdeveloped plot prevent it from reaching its full potential. If you're looking for a short, lighthearted story to kill some time, it's worth a try, but don't expect a deeply satisfying or complex narrative. I'd give it a solid 3 out of 5 stars.
