My Thoughts on Not Dead, Just a Minor Illness
First Impressions
"Cute" and "wholesome" jumped out at me immediately when I started looking into Not Dead, Just a Minor Illness, and honestly, that pretty much sums up my overall experience. From the get-go, it’s clear this story aims to be a lighthearted escape, a sweet treat amidst the often dramatic landscape of web novels. While I initially found myself a tad disoriented, it didn't take long for the narrative to find its footing, and that's when the charm really began to shine.
What Works Well
The heart of this story lies squarely in the relationship between the main characters. Their pure and genuine love for each other is incredibly endearing. The dynamic between the apathetic, genius MC and the slightly dense but supportive ML is a joy to watch unfold. I particularly enjoyed the focus on their individual journeys – the MC learning to express his emotions and the ML learning to be more assertive. It’s a story about growth, support, and the beautiful awkwardness of learning to love. The writing style also contributes significantly to the novel's appeal, making the characters feel incredibly real and relatable, despite their quirks. This is a story that’s easy to get lost in.
Areas of Concern
While the short length contributes to the concentrated sweetness, I can't help but wish there was more to savor. The world and characters felt so fleshed out that I was left wanting a deeper dive into their lives and the challenges they face.
Final Verdict
If you're looking for a light, fluffy, and heartwarming story about childhood friends finding love, Not Dead, Just a Minor Illness is definitely worth checking out. It's a delightful palate cleanser, a sweet escape that will leave you with a smile. While I wish it were longer, the quality of the writing and the endearing characters make it a truly enjoyable read. I'd happily recommend it to anyone seeking a break from more intense narratives.
