My Thoughts on I Was Summoned as a Saint, but I’m Going Home Because I Have a Boyfriend
This web novel… where do I even begin? "I Was Summoned as a Saint, but I’m Going Home Because I Have a Boyfriend" is a breath of fresh air in a genre that often feels stale. It's a quick, satisfying read that left me chuckling and nodding in agreement with the protagonist's, frankly, sensible decisions.
First Impressions
From the title alone, I knew I was in for something different. Isekai stories are a dime a dozen, but the premise of a summoned saint prioritizing her own life and relationships? That's a twist I can get behind. The opening chapters immediately set the tone: humorous, self-aware, and delightfully subversive.
What Works Well
The protagonist is the star of the show. Her no-nonsense attitude and unwavering commitment to returning home are incredibly refreshing. She's not interested in playing the savior; she has a life she enjoys, and she's not about to abandon it for a bunch of strangers. I found myself cheering her on every step of the way. The humor is also spot-on, perfectly complementing the protagonist's personality and the absurd situation she finds herself in. The story doesn't take itself too seriously, which allows it to explore some interesting themes about agency and responsibility without becoming preachy. It’s a great subversion of the typical isekai trope.

Final Verdict
"I Was Summoned as a Saint, but I’m Going Home Because I Have a Boyfriend" is a delightful oneshot that I highly recommend. It's a clever, funny, and surprisingly insightful take on the isekai genre. If you're looking for a quick read that will leave you with a smile on your face, look no further. I gave it a solid 4.5/5. It's not groundbreaking literature, but it's a thoroughly enjoyable and refreshing experience.
