My Thoughts on My Childhood Friend Seems to be The Main Heroine (LN)
First Impressions
Okay, this novel grabbed my attention right away with its premise. A heroine from a visual novel, betrayed after her "happy ending," gets a second chance? I'm immediately invested. The idea of exploring what happens after the credits roll, the potential pitfalls of harem endings, and the consequences of those choices is pretty fascinating. It's a bold move to deconstruct a trope like that, and I was eager to see how the author would pull it off.
What Works Well
The exploration of the "strong female lead" trope is something I found particularly compelling. This isn't just a damsel in distress waiting for a knight in shining armor. She's actively working to change her fate, leveraging her past experiences (both good and bad) to forge a new path. The childhood friend dynamic adds another layer of intrigue. It seems we have a protagonist who, at least initially, is blissfully unaware of the heroine's feelings, which sets the stage for some potentially great romantic tension. The idea that he was instrumental in her becoming a capable and self-reliant person, even before the time loop, is a great touch. It establishes a deep-rooted connection that goes beyond simple romance. He's not just a love interest; he's a foundational figure in her life.

Final Verdict
Overall, I'm cautiously optimistic about "My Childhood Friend Seems to be The Main Heroine (LN)." The premise is intriguing, the characters seem well-developed, and the exploration of complex themes is promising. There are some potential pitfalls, but the strengths of the story outweigh the weaknesses. If you're looking for a romance with a touch of drama, a strong female lead, and a deconstruction of familiar tropes, this novel might be worth checking out.
