My Thoughts on Impersonated Husband
"Impersonated Husband" has been quite the ride! Going in, I knew it was a blend of genres I typically enjoy: adult themes, horror, mystery, and a touch of romance. The "yaoi" tag sealed the deal, and I dove in, ready for anything. What I found was a story that was both beautiful and deeply unsettling.
First Impressions
Initially, I was a bit hesitant about the first-person perspective. I've had mixed experiences with that style in the past. However, it quickly became clear that it was the perfect choice for this novel. It truly immersed me in the MC's mind, making the psychological horror elements all the more effective.
What Works Well
The atmosphere is the strongest aspect of this story. The author masterfully builds suspense, creating a sense of unease that permeates every chapter, especially in the first half. I found myself constantly questioning what was real and what was a figment of the MC's imagination. It's that kind of psychological depth that elevates horror beyond simple jump scares, and this novel delivers it in spades. The relationship between the MC and ML is complex and heart-wrenching. Their love is a central theme, driving the plot and shaping the characters' actions. Many readers will be drawn into their dynamic, even if it's laced with tragedy and a bit of the supernatural. I also found the writing style to be very fitting for the genre. It's descriptive without being overwrought, allowing the horror to unfold naturally.
Areas of Concern
While I thoroughly enjoyed the novel, I can see why some readers might not be completely satisfied with the ending. It felt a little too neat, given the darkness that preceded it. A more bittersweet or even tragic conclusion might have resonated more powerfully with the overall tone of the story.

Be prepared to feel things deeply!
