My Thoughts on I’ve Gotten Used to Being Alone
First Impressions
"I've Gotten Used to Being Alone" immediately caught my attention with its intriguing title and promise of a unique take on the fantasy romance genre. The setting in an academy with European ambiance definitely piqued my interest, and I was eager to see how the story unfolded, especially with the "dense protagonist" tag thrown in. It felt like a recipe for some classic romantic comedy misunderstandings, and I was here for it.
What Works Well
I really enjoyed the central premise of the story. The idea of a male lead who only realizes his feelings after losing the female protagonist is a refreshing twist on the usual trope. It offered a chance for some genuine character growth and exploration of regret. The "personality changes" tag hinted at some potentially significant development for both characters, and I found myself invested in seeing how they would evolve throughout the narrative. The short story format also made it a quick and easy read, perfect for an evening of lighthearted entertainment.
Areas of Concern
While I appreciated the unique premise, I have to admit the ending left me feeling a little… wanting. Without giving too much away, it seems some readers might find the conclusion a bit disappointing. I also felt that the "dense protagonist" aspect, while initially amusing, could become a bit frustrating at times. It's a fine line to walk between endearing obliviousness and outright annoyance, and I think the story occasionally teetered on the latter.

Final Verdict
Overall, "I've Gotten Used to Being Alone" is an enjoyable and quick read with a unique spin on familiar tropes. While the ending might not be for everyone, the journey is still worth taking. If you're looking for a short, engaging fantasy romance with a bit of a different flavor, this might be just the story for you. I'd say it's a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars.
