My CEO Goes OoC

My Thoughts on My CEO Goes OoC

First Impressions

Okay, so I dove into My CEO Goes OoC knowing it was a short, completed one-shot, and I think that's crucial for setting expectations. It's definitely a quick read, and the overall impression I get is...mixed. It tries to pack a lot into a limited space, and whether that works for you will probably depend on your tolerance for fast-paced, slightly chaotic storytelling.

What Works Well

The humor is definitely a strong point. The premise relies on a central misunderstanding between the CEO and his subordinate, and when the comedy lands, it lands well. I found myself chuckling at the absurdity of the situations, and the "out of character" antics of the CEO are genuinely amusing. The dynamic between the gong and shou, as some readers have pointed out, is also quite enjoyable, especially if you're a fan of the boss-subordinate trope flipped on its head. The fact that the love interest falls first is another plus for me; I always enjoy that dynamic.

Areas of Concern

Honestly, while the brevity is a selling point for some, it's also a drawback. The plot feels rushed, and certain elements, like the sudden appearance of an ex-boyfriend and a "little white lotus," feel underdeveloped and almost jarring. There's a lot of potential here, but it feels like the story is trying to do too much in too little time. I also found the protagonist's initial attitude towards non-virg*n boyfriends a bit off-putting; it felt unnecessary and detracted from my overall enjoyment.

Final Verdict

My CEO Goes OoC is a light, fluffy read that's perfect if you're looking for a quick dose of comedy and office romance. However, be prepared for a fast-paced plot that might leave you wanting more development. It's an alright story, but could have been better if it had been longer. Ultimately, it's a fun, albeit flawed, way to spend an afternoon.
