My Thoughts on Soen ni Natte ita Osananajimi (Kareshi Ari) o Sefure ni Shite Mita (LN)
First Impressions
Okay, let's be real. Going into "Soen ni Natte ita Osananajimi (Kareshi Ari) o Sefure ni Shite Mita (LN)," I knew exactly what kind of ride I was signing up for. The title alone is a mouthful and a dead giveaway. It promised a certain type of story, and well, it seems to deliver on that promise, for better or worse. The premise is simple: guy likes childhood friend, childhood friend has a boyfriend, guy… does guy things.
What Works Well
Honestly, if you're looking for a complex, deeply moving narrative, this probably isn't it. However, I can see the appeal for some readers. The novel knows what it is, and it doesn't try to be anything else. It leans heavily into the ecchi and romance genres, delivering a consistent stream of content that caters to that specific audience. It's straightforward, and the plot, while perhaps not groundbreaking, moves at a pace that keeps things engaging.
Areas of Concern
Here's where things get a bit dicey. The story seems to rely heavily on certain tropes that some might find… problematic. The protagonist's actions, while perhaps intended to be titillating, could easily be seen as morally questionable. The plot seems rather simplistic, with the protagonist taking advantage of a situation and then finding himself in a harem situation. If you are looking for character depth or intricate plotlines, this is not it.
Final Verdict
"Soen ni Natte ita Osananajimi (Kareshi Ari) o Sefure ni Shite Mita (LN)" is a novel that knows its audience. It's a straightforward, ecchi-filled romance with a heavy emphasis on fan service. It won't win any awards for literary brilliance, but if you're looking for a quick and easy read that delivers on its promises, you might find some enjoyment here. Just be prepared for the potentially problematic elements and don't expect a deeply nuanced story. It is what it is.
