My Thoughts on I’m Afraid I’m Now a Salted Fish
"I'm Afraid I'm Now a Salted Fish" is one of those titles that made me pause, but I dove in anyway, curious about the story hiding beneath the quirky name. Overall, I found it to be a pleasant and relaxing read, perfect for when you need a break from heavier, more plot-driven narratives. However, there are a few things to keep in mind before you jump in.
First Impressions
Initially, I was a bit hesitant. The title and some of the early buzz made me think it would be overwhelmingly fluffy – and while it is fluffy, it’s more of a domestic, comforting kind of fluff, which I personally enjoyed. The story revolves around an established relationship between an actor and his CEO boyfriend, so if you're looking for a "friends to lovers" type of progression, this might not be your cup of tea.
What Works Well
The strength of this novel lies in its depiction of a healthy and loving relationship. The main characters communicate openly and trust each other implicitly, which is a refreshing change of pace from the angst and misunderstandings that plague many romance stories. I particularly appreciated the dynamic between the MC and ML. The MC's dedication to his craft as an actor is admirable, and the ML's devotion is genuinely sweet. The author writes this relationship well, with plenty of humor, and it's clear that the characters are very much in love. The slice-of-life aspect is also well-executed, offering glimpses into the entertainment industry and the daily lives of the characters.
Areas of Concern
While the fluff is generally a positive, it can become a bit repetitive at times. Since the story is primarily slice-of-life, there isn't a strong overarching plot to drive the narrative forward. I can see how some readers might find this lack of plot boring or unrealistic, as it leans heavily on the cute and sweet moments between the characters. Also, I found myself a little uncomfortable with the MC's tendency to immerse himself deeply into his roles, even to the point of self-harm. While it highlights his dedication, it also felt a bit irresponsible, especially considering the impact on his partner.

Final Verdict
Despite a few minor drawbacks, "I'm Afraid I'm Now a Salted Fish" is a charming and enjoyable read. If you're in the mood for a lighthearted, fluffy romance with a focus on open communication and mutual trust, then I would definitely recommend giving this novel a try. Just be prepared for a story that prioritizes character interactions and everyday moments over a complex plot.
