No Matter What Happens, I Will Never Go Back to Being in a Romantic Relationship with My (Ex)girlfriend Who Didn’t Believe in Me.

My Thoughts on No Matter What Happens, I Will Never Go Back to Being in a Romantic Relationship with My (Ex)girlfriend Who Didn’t Believe in Me.

First Impressions

Okay, let's be real, that title is a mouthful. But beyond the lengthy name, this one-shot novel promises a story of betrayal and, more importantly, a refusal to forgive. I went in expecting a fairly straightforward revenge tale, and I wasn't entirely wrong. The premise is familiar: a male protagonist wrongly accused, an ex-girlfriend who loses faith, and the aftermath when the truth comes out.

What Works Well

What I appreciated most was the story's laser focus. It doesn't get bogged down in the nitty-gritty details of the protagonist's framing or the intricacies of his eventual exoneration. Instead, it spends its time exploring the emotional consequences, specifically the ex-girlfriend's regret. If you're tired of seeing protagonists in similar stories readily forgive those who wronged them, this might be a breath of fresh air. It offers a satisfying dose of righteous indignation and a firm refusal to back down. There's a certain catharsis in witnessing the ex-girlfriend grapple with the consequences of her lack of faith.

Areas of Concern

However, this focus comes at a cost. The lack of detail regarding the actual betrayal can feel a bit shallow. It's hard to fully invest in the protagonist's pain and suffering when the events leading to it are only vaguely alluded to. This might make it less appealing if you haven't read similar stories. The school life tag also seems somewhat misleading, as the setting doesn't play a particularly significant role.

Final Verdict

"No Matter What Happens, I Will Never Go Back to Being in a Romantic Relationship with My (Ex)girlfriend Who Didn’t Believe in Me" isn't going to win any literary awards, but it delivers on its promise of a satisfyingly unforgiving narrative. If you're looking for a quick and cathartic read that explores the consequences of betrayal without resorting to easy forgiveness, this one-shot might just hit the spot. Just don't expect a deeply nuanced or intricately plotted story. It's a simple, straightforward tale of unwavering resolve, and sometimes, that's exactly what you need.
