My Thoughts on Our Story of How, on the Day of Our High School Entrance Ceremony, Our Childhood Sweetheart Dumped Us Because They Had Met Their Soulmate

Okay, that title is a mouthful, but the premise definitely grabbed my attention. A childhood sweetheart dumping the MC on the first day of high school? Ouch. I dove in with a mix of curiosity and morbid fascination, and I have to say, it wasn't quite what I expected.

First Impressions

Initially, I braced myself for a typical revenge story filled with over-the-top drama. What I found instead was a surprisingly grounded narrative about moving on and finding genuine connection. The setup is brutal, sure, but the author avoids the usual NTR tropes, which I greatly appreciated.

What Works Well

The strongest aspect of this novel is the MC's journey of healing and growth. Instead of focusing solely on revenge, the story emphasizes how he builds new friendships and slowly develops a relationship with the FMC. This slow-burn romance feels much more believable and satisfying than the instant connections you often see in similar stories. I also liked that the supporting characters felt like real people with their own motivations, adding depth to the overall narrative. The story also moves at a good pace and I find myself wanting to read the next chapter when I finish one.

Areas of Concern

While I enjoyed the lack of typical revenge tropes, I do wish the ex-girlfriend and her "soulmate" faced some consequences for their actions. It's not that I wanted a dramatic downfall, but a little more acknowledgement of the hurt they caused would have felt more satisfying. However, I am still reading and I can't wait to see what happens next.

Final Verdict

Overall, "Our Story of How, on the Day of Our High School Entrance Ceremony, Our Childhood Sweetheart Dumped Us Because They Had Met Their Soulmate" is a refreshing take on the breakup genre. It's not perfect, but its focus on healing, genuine connection, and realistic character development makes it a worthwhile read. If you're looking for a story that deviates from the usual revenge tropes and offers a more nuanced exploration of relationships, this might be right up your alley.
