My Thoughts on Sentimental General
"Sentimental General" promised a quick and easy historical romance, and for the most part, it delivered. At just 20 chapters, it's a breezy read, perfect for filling those in-between moments. While it's not a literary masterpiece, it has its charms.
First Impressions
The premise, a skilled blacksmith kidnapped by an overbearing general to repair his sword, immediately grabbed my attention. I was intrigued by the potential for a clash of personalities and a slow-burn romance. The initial hostility between the leads definitely set the stage for some interesting dynamics.
What Works Well
The core strength of this novel lies in its focus on the relationship between the female lead (FL), the blacksmith, and the male lead (ML), the general. The development of their feelings, though rapid, is portrayed as sweet and fluffy, with a touch of spice. I particularly appreciated that the characters were generally straightforward and respectful of each other's feelings, which avoided unnecessary drama. The translation also seemed excellent, allowing for a smooth and enjoyable reading experience. The short length kept the story focused, preventing it from getting bogged down in unnecessary subplots.
Areas of Concern
While the concise nature of the story is a strength, it also contributes to its weaknesses. The ending, in particular, felt rushed and could have benefited from more development. I also found the initial interactions a bit jarring. The ML's initial interest in the FL felt somewhat superficial. The "kitten" nickname was also a bit grating after a while.
Final Verdict
Overall, I'd say "Sentimental General" is a decent, light read. It's not groundbreaking, but it provides a sweet and simple romance that's easy to consume. If you're looking for a quick and fluffy historical romance with minimal angst, this might be worth checking out. Just don't expect a deep or complex plot. I'd give it a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars.
