Description
“Onii-san, congratulations on your marriage. This person is your bride.” “M-my name is Watanae Yuuka… I’m in the same class as you…” My name is Sakata Yuuichi. I’m in my 2nd year of high school. Due to my parents’ circumstances, I’m suddenly getting married..? Furthermore, my partner is a plain girl, Watanae-san. During my 3rd year of middle school, I went through a bad experience. Ever since then, I’ve only been interested in 2D heroines. There’s absolutely no way I’d ever be interested in a 3D girl. That was what I thought, but… “…Well then, who’s your favorite heroine right now?” Turns out, she was actually an otaku and she becomes very talkative when you get to know her. She’d always happily engage in our conversations. She showed me things I’d never have expected from a girl in my class. “Err, since we’re going to be living together… Is it okay if I call you Yuu-kun?” And, the moment I let my guard down, she’d instantly try to shorten the distance between us. What’s more… “Just between you and me, I’m actually the voice actress for Yuuna Izumi from 『Alice Stage』. Thank you for always supporting me!” It’s a secret from everyone else, but it turns out she’s actually my favorite heroine’s voice actress?! I am only interested in 2D heroines! But, Yuuka’s true self, which she only shows when she’s alone with me, is nothing but cute! This is the story of me and Yuuka, starting as fiancées. A heart-warming and chaotic romcom!

My Thoughts on My Plain-looking Fiance is Secretly Sweet with Me
"My Plain-looking Fiance is Secretly Sweet with Me" is a web novel that I went into with a healthy dose of curiosity. The premise, while familiar, had a certain charm that piqued my interest. After delving into the available chapters, I've formed a pretty solid opinion on it.
First Impressions
Initially, I was a bit hesitant. The main character (MC) seemed like the typical dense, awkward protagonist often found in these types of stories. Some readers found him frustrating, especially his inability to move past a middle school trauma. He comes across as a doormat. I could see why some readers dropped it early on, feeling that the MC's passivity dragged the story down.
What Works Well
Despite my initial reservations, the novel does have its strengths. The female lead (FL) is a major draw. She's devoted, sweet, and carries the story with her charm. I can see why many readers enjoy the fluffy, lighthearted feel of the series. The "arranged marriage" trope is played out in a fairly cute way, and the slice-of-life aspects are generally well-executed. I also appreciated that the author avoided certain overused clichés with the little sister character.
Areas of Concern
My main concern echoes some of the sentiments I've seen from other readers: the MC's development. While some claim he gets better, others feel the progress is too slow or inconsistent. The relationship between the MC and FL can also feel a bit forced at times, relying heavily on common rom-com tropes. Some interactions come off as cringeworthy, and the constant misunderstandings can become tiresome.

Final Verdict
Overall, "My Plain-looking Fiance is Secretly Sweet with Me" is a mixed bag. If you're a fan of fluffy rom-coms and don't mind a slow-burn with a somewhat frustrating protagonist, you might find it enjoyable. However, if you're looking for deep character development or a plot that deviates significantly from the norm, this might not be the series for you. I'd say it's worth a try if you're in the mood for something light and predictable, but don't expect to be blown away.
