My Thoughts on I, A Gangster, Became a High School Student
"I, A Gangster, Became a High School Student" is certainly a unique premise that piqued my interest. The body swap trope combined with a mature gangster soul navigating the treacherous waters of high school life? I was definitely intrigued.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the promise of a compelling story, and I wasn't disappointed. The concept is executed well, and the characters are interesting, making for a captivating read. The blending of genres – adult themes, drama, a touch of fantasy, and school life – creates a dynamic and engaging narrative that kept me hooked.
What Works Well
What I appreciated most was the character development and the intricate plot. It's not just a simple romance; there are layers of mafia dealings, political undertones, and complex family relationships woven into the story. I particularly enjoyed the slow-burn romance between the MC and ML. It felt organic and earned, with the eventual payoff being all the more satisfying. The author's handling of sensitive topics like bullying and abuse is also commendable. These issues are addressed with care and emotion, adding depth and meaning to the overall narrative.
Areas of Concern
While the overall story is engaging, I did find one aspect somewhat troubling: the handling of the bully character. While some found the resolution acceptable, I can understand why some readers might be uncomfortable with any attempt at redemption, given the severity of his actions. It's a delicate balance, and I think the author could have handled this particular subplot with more nuance to avoid alienating readers.
