Description

My childhood friend is an archmage. To be more precise, he’s an archmage that cannot control his powerful mana and occasionally goes on a wild rampage. “Skyla, would you like to have the empire for your birthday? I’ll make you the emperor!” The most precise would be an archmage with no common sense and morals. And I’m still struggling to keep him from destroying the Empire today. …Life is very hard. ~ Every single day, the crown prince was dying as he cleaned up after my childhood friend and came to me. “I need a fiance to inherit the throne. Why don’t we fake an engagement, Lady Skyla?” “No, what kind of nonsense is that..!” “In return after a year, I will send you to the Hebnia empire as it is the place you wanted to go so much.” “….When do I start? Thank you so much.” Can I finally escape the babysitting from my childhood friend? After dancing with the Crown Prince with such joy… On the next day, it was reported that the walls of the palace were shattered by powerful mana. Should I just give up on my life?

My Thoughts on It’s Annoying Because My Childhood Friend Is An Archmage

"It’s Annoying Because My Childhood Friend Is An Archmage" is a completed web novel that I decided to try out, drawn in by its blend of comedy, fantasy, and romance. While it has its charms, it's also a story with some definite sticking points that might not appeal to every reader.

First Impressions

Initially, I found myself a bit disoriented. The early chapters felt like they were missing some crucial context, and I struggled to grasp the full dynamic between the main characters. It took a while to truly understand the underlying premise, which made the initial interactions feel somewhat…off.

What Works Well

Once I got past the initial hump, the comedic elements started to shine. The female lead is a standout – she's blunt, quick-witted, and not afraid to resort to violence when necessary (against deserving individuals, of course!). I found her reactions and personality to be genuinely entertaining, and she carries the story well. The lighthearted, slice-of-life moments are also a plus, offering a pleasant contrast to the more fantastical elements.

Areas of Concern

However, I did find some aspects problematic. The male lead's initial behavior can be off-putting, bordering on obsessive. While some might eventually find it endearing, others may struggle to warm up to his character. Additionally, the portrayal of the FL's parents raised some red flags for me. Their neglectful behavior and blatant disregard for their daughter's feelings, even pushing her into a marriage she clearly doesn't want, undermined the comedic tone for me and made it harder to invest in the overall story.

Final Verdict

"It’s Annoying Because My Childhood Friend Is An Archmage" is a mixed bag. It has moments of genuine humor and a strong female lead, but the problematic elements and slow reveal of key information might deter some readers. If you're willing to stick with it past the initial chapters and can overlook some of the more questionable character behaviors, you might find it an enjoyable, lighthearted read. However, be warned that it's not without its flaws, and it might not be everyone's cup of tea.
