Description

My WeChat friend… he might not be human. Jian Mei added a WeChat friend by accident. The other party didn’t follow any celebrities or surf the internet, living as if he were in ancient times. Jian Mei cherished this friendship, even if the other party was exceptionally cold and seemed… a little abnormal. Jian Mei: “I had fried chicken and a hamburger today. What about you?” The other party: “Nutrient solution.” Jian Mei: “I usually like playing games and watching movies. What about you?” The other party: “Assembling mechas and reading memorials to the throne.” Jian Mei: ? In the 26th year of Xingyuan’s establishment, the universe entered an era of rapid development. Lu Xingwang, the third prince of the strongest planet, Stan Star, was weak and sickly. He was criticized by the outside world for his physique. He had a dark personality and never communicated with the outside world. One day. Lu Xingwang found that his communication terminal would inexplicably receive strange chat messages. Although boring, the strange sticker packs and wordy nonsense slowly became his only hope through his dark years. In the 29th year of Xingyuan’s establishment. The royal family was in turmoil, and the Third Prince Lu Xingwang was formally established as the crown prince.

My Thoughts on Online Dating Boyfriend Is Actually An Alien

"Online Dating Boyfriend Is Actually An Alien" is a web novel that took me on a wild ride. It blends genres like sci-fi, romance, and school life in a way that's both charming and, at times, a little perplexing. Overall, I found it to be an enjoyable, though imperfect, read.

First Impressions

The premise immediately grabbed me: a teenager recovering from a serious illness connects with an alien prince through a mysterious phone. It felt fresh and unique, promising a blend of slice-of-life and interstellar adventure. The initial chapters, focusing on their budding friendship and mutual support, were definitely the strongest.

What Works Well

The core of the story, the relationship between Jian Mei (the MC) and Lu Xingwang (the ML), is undeniably sweet. I appreciated the slow-burn romance and the emphasis on trust and respect. Many readers, including myself, found the characters endearing, especially Jian Mei with his kind heart and unwavering optimism. He's not perfect, but his genuine desire to help others is truly inspiring. I also enjoyed the family dynamics presented, especially Jian Mei's relationships with his family. The author does a good job of portraying the ups and downs of familial relationships.

Areas of Concern

However, the novel does have its flaws. As the story progresses, particularly after Jian Mei's transmigration, the plot becomes more convoluted. Some world-building elements, especially the ML's planet, felt underdeveloped and relied too heavily on ancient Chinese tropes, which made the advanced technology feel strangely out of place. Several inconsistencies and plot holes started to appear, which did detract from my overall enjoyment. The last arc, dealing with a pandemic, felt rushed and relied on some questionable logic. While I admired the author's attempt to tackle serious issues, the execution wasn't always seamless.
