My Thoughts on I Was the Head of a Magic Order in My Previous Life, and My Husband, Who Said “I Will Never Love You,” Turns Out to Be My Former Subordinate
This title is quite a mouthful, isn't it? But don't let that deter you; it's a fun, quick read that I found quite enjoyable. It’s a completed story, though the translation is ongoing, so that's always a plus in my book – no agonizing waits!
First Impressions
The premise itself is intriguing: a reincarnated head of a magic order, a husband who initially claims indifference, and the delicious twist of a former subordinate in the mix. It screams potential for both comedic misunderstandings and heartwarming romance. I was immediately hooked.
What Works Well
The humor definitely shines. The dynamic between the female lead and her initially aloof husband is ripe for comedic situations, and the reveal of his past connection to her adds another layer of amusement. The story is relatively short, making it a perfect palate cleanser between longer, more demanding reads. I also appreciated the European-esque setting and the presence of magic, which added to the overall charm and escapism. The boss-subordinate relationship is explored in a fun and engaging way.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the story overall, I can see where some readers might find the ending a bit lacking. It leans towards an open conclusion, which, while realistic given the protagonist's personality, might leave some wanting a more definitive resolution. I also found the short length to be a double-edged sword. While it made for a quick read, it also meant that some aspects, particularly the character development, felt a bit rushed.
Final Verdict
Despite some minor drawbacks, "I Was the Head of a Magic Order in My Previous Life..." is a delightful and entertaining story. If you're looking for a quick, funny, and romantic read with a touch of magic and a unique premise, I definitely recommend giving this one a try. Just be prepared for a slightly open ending and a potentially glossed-over age gap. Overall, I'd say it's a solid and enjoyable read.
