My Thoughts on It Was Me, Not You
"It Was Me, Not You" promised a blend of fantasy and romance, a combination I often enjoy. With tags like "child protagonist" and "aristocracy," I was expecting a potentially heartwarming or, at the very least, intriguing read. However, my experience was a bit of a mixed bag.
First Impressions
Initially, I found myself struggling to get completely invested. The opening chapters felt somewhat confusing, and I worried that the plot might be too predictable. I feared a situation where the story telegraphs its ending early on, only to drag the reader through unnecessary complications to reach that predetermined conclusion.
What Works Well
Despite my initial reservations, the novel does have its strengths. The angst is definitely a major draw. For readers who enjoy emotional turmoil and the eventual payoff of "fluff" and resolution, this could be a worthwhile read. The core storyline, while perhaps not entirely original, has the potential to be captivating, especially if you're a fan of stories centered around family misunderstandings and eventual reconciliation.
Areas of Concern
One significant issue I encountered was the translation quality. While I appreciate the effort of the translators, the numerous typos, awkward phrasing, and grammatical errors disrupted my reading flow. It made it harder to fully immerse myself in the story and connect with the characters. This is a shame, because beneath the translation issues, there seems to be a compelling childcare drama trying to emerge. Also, the male lead's actions may prove to be too much for some readers to accept.

Final Verdict
"It Was Me, Not You" is a novel with potential, but it requires patience and a willingness to overlook its flaws. The angst-driven plot and hints of eventual fluff might appeal to some, but the translation issues and potentially frustrating character decisions could deter others. Ultimately, whether you enjoy this novel will depend on your tolerance for melodrama and your ability to see past the imperfections. I'd recommend approaching it with cautious optimism.
