My Thoughts on I’ve Been Devoting Myself To Helping My Sister, but I’m Quitting Today
Okay, so I dove into "I’ve Been Devoting Myself To Helping My Sister, but I’m Quitting Today" with a mix of excitement and trepidation, given the mixed bag of initial reactions. It's a shoujo fantasy set in a magic academy, so I was expecting a certain level of fluff and maybe some handsome princes, and well, I got that. But there's definitely more to unpack here.
First Impressions
The premise is interesting: a supposedly plain and unremarkable girl who is actually a hidden genius decides to stop playing support for her sister and live for herself. The initial chapters drew me in with the promise of a determined female lead finally stepping into the spotlight. The European-esque setting and the magic system, with its different types of spellcasting, also piqued my interest.
What Works Well
I found myself enjoying the dynamic between the protagonist and the male lead. He's your typical "sadistic" prince type, but the author sets up a potentially equal footing between them, which is a refreshing change. The series has potential to deliver a compelling romance and power dynamic. The translation quality also seems solid, making the reading experience smooth.
Areas of Concern
However, some inconsistencies and underdeveloped aspects held me back from fully embracing the story. The world-building feels a bit thin. I wanted more depth and explanation, especially regarding the magic system. The protagonist's supposed laziness also felt inconsistent with her actions, which made it hard to fully connect with her character. I also noticed the way the other students treat the protagonist felt a bit forced. The level of avoidance and gossip seems disproportionate to her actions.
Final Verdict
"I’ve Been Devoting Myself To Helping My Sister, but I’m Quitting Today" is a decent shoujo novel with potential. It has elements that could appeal to fans of the genre, such as a strong female lead, a captivating romance, and a magical academy setting. However, the underdeveloped world-building and inconsistencies in characterization prevent it from reaching its full potential. I'd recommend it if you're looking for a light and fluffy read, but don't expect a deeply immersive or groundbreaking story.
