My Dream is to Get My Own House

My Thoughts on My Dream is to Get My Own House

"My Dream is to Get My Own House" certainly has a catchy title, and the premise seemed promising enough to draw me in. It's a blend of comedy, drama, fantasy, and romance, with a determined female lead who's trying to navigate family conflicts and find love, all while seemingly hiding her true identity. However, my experience with this novel was a bit of a rollercoaster.

First Impressions

Initially, I was intrigued. The story starts off with a familiar setup: a regression story with a bit of revenge against an abusive family thrown in. I found the comedic undertones appealing, and the idea of a protagonist single-mindedly focused on acquiring property was definitely a fresh take.

What Works Well

The relationship between the female lead (FL) and her love interest (ML) is undeniably a strong point. Many readers seem to enjoy their interactions, describing the ML as a "doting" and "kind" character. There's a certain "fluff" factor that provides a comforting, lighthearted read, knowing that the FL and her relationship with the ML won't be truly ruined. I also appreciated the determined nature of the protagonist. She's not portrayed as a helpless damsel, but rather as someone smart and capable, which is always a plus in my book.

Areas of Concern

Unfortunately, the translation quality appears to be a significant issue. Several readers have pointed out inconsistencies, grammatical errors, and confusing dialogue. This makes it challenging to fully immerse myself in the story. The writing style also seems to lack finesse, with inconsistencies and underdeveloped characters. I also found the FL to be somewhat of a "Mary Sue," which, while enjoyable for some, made her feel less relatable and more like a wish-fulfillment character. The plot, though initially interesting, devolves into a collection of clichés, seemingly just ticking off popular tropes without adding anything particularly new or exciting.

Final Verdict

"My Dream is to Get My Own House" has potential, but it's currently held back by its inconsistent translation and reliance on overused tropes. While the FL and ML's relationship and the overall lightheartedness might appeal to some, the issues with writing quality and character depth ultimately make it a difficult recommendation for me. I would suggest approaching this one with caution, and perhaps waiting for a more polished translation before diving in.
