My Thoughts on Recently, I Broke up With My Girlfriend Because She Was Cold, but She Became Yandere
This web novel, "Recently, I Broke up With My Girlfriend Because She Was Cold, but She Became Yandere," is quite the rollercoaster. Buckle up, because it's a wild ride of yanderes, questionable decisions, and a protagonist who might leave you scratching your head.
First Impressions
Going in, the premise was intriguing. A breakup leading to a yandere ex? I was ready for some delicious dark romance. The initial chapters had a certain edgy charm, and I found myself somewhat invested in the MC's situation. However, that feeling didn't necessarily last.
What Works Well
If you're purely here for the yandere antics and don't mind a plot that occasionally veers off the rails, you might find some enjoyment here. There's a certain "so bad it's good" quality to the absurdity of the situations, and the sheer number of obsessive women vying for the MC's attention can be… entertaining, in a trainwreck sort of way. Some readers might appreciate the over-the-top nature of the story as a form of absurdist humor.
Areas of Concern
The biggest issue I encountered was the inconsistency in the MC's personality. One minute he's seemingly a confident playboy, the next he's a pushover unable to stand up for himself against the yanderes. This lack of consistency makes it hard to connect with him or root for him. The plot also suffers from a lack of focus, with new characters and subplots being introduced and then abruptly dropped. The harem aspect quickly becomes overwhelming, with new yanderes appearing seemingly out of nowhere, often with flimsy backstories. This dilutes the impact of the original premise and makes the story feel disjointed.

Final Verdict
"Recently, I Broke up With My Girlfriend Because She Was Cold, but She Became Yandere" has potential, but it ultimately falls short due to inconsistent characterization, a convoluted plot, and an overabundance of underdeveloped yandere characters. If you're looking for a serious, well-written story, this isn't it. However, if you're in the mood for some mindless, over-the-top yandere chaos, you might find it mildly amusing. Just be prepared to suspend your disbelief and embrace the absurdity.
