My Thoughts on I, Who Was Betrayed by My Childhood Friend, When I Abandoned Her, I Began To Live the Best Life Ever

This title certainly grabbed my attention! With its promise of betrayal, revenge, and a fulfilling life, I dove in with a mix of curiosity and trepidation. After reading as much as I could, I have some thoughts.

First Impressions

Honestly, my initial reaction was a bit all over the place. The premise is intriguing, and the tags suggest a potentially wild ride. I was prepared for drama, romance, and maybe even a bit of comedy, but the early chapters definitely threw me for a loop.

What Works Well

Despite some of the criticisms, I can see some potential in this story. The slice-of-life elements, when they shine through, are genuinely enjoyable. I like the idea of the MC having supportive friends outside of his potential love interests; that's a refreshing touch. The author also seems to deliver on the harem aspect, and if you're a fan of that genre, this might scratch that itch. I'll also give the author credit for seemingly not having the antagonists beg for forgiveness, which is a nice change of pace.

Areas of Concern

Okay, let's address the elephant in the room. The execution of the plot is questionable. The initial betrayal seems abrupt and lacks proper setup. The plot holes and questionable character decisions can be jarring and pull you out of the story. And while some readers found the in*estuous elements tolerable, I can see how it would be a major turn-off for many.

Final Verdict

I, Who Was Betrayed by My Childhood Friend... is a mixed bag. If you're looking for a meticulously crafted story with airtight plotlines, this probably isn't it. However, if you're willing to suspend your disbelief and enjoy a somewhat chaotic blend of tropes, harem elements, and slice-of-life moments, you might find something to enjoy here. Just be prepared for some head-scratching moments along the way. Overall, I'd say approach with caution and manage your expectations.
