My Thoughts on The Ending of This World Didn’t Matter to Me

First Impressions

"The Ending of This World Didn’t Matter to Me" immediately grabbed my attention with its intriguing title and combination of genres. A blend of fantasy, psychological elements, romance, and yaoi set against an academy backdrop? I was definitely curious. The tags, ranging from "bullying" to "obsessive love," hinted at a complex and potentially dark narrative. Diving in, I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but I was prepared for a rollercoaster.

What Works Well

What struck me most was the surprisingly nuanced portrayal of the main character. He's introduced as a timid, almost doormat-like figure, and I usually find such characters frustrating. But there's a compelling logic behind his passivity. He's keenly aware of his low social standing, his physical weakness, and the power dynamics at play in this world. His timidity isn't born of naivety, but rather a pragmatic understanding of his situation. This makes his character arc, as he navigates a world seemingly stacked against him, all the more engaging. The slow burn romance between the MC and ML is also a major draw. It seems that the author is taking their time to develop a genuine connection between the two, and I am certainly looking forward to seeing how their relationship evolves.

Areas of Concern

While I appreciate the MC's logical approach, his extreme passivity might not appeal to everyone. Readers who prefer proactive protagonists who immediately challenge injustice might find him frustrating. There is a fine line between nuanced timidity and outright inaction, and I think the story dances close to that line at times. I also found myself wondering if the pacing could be a bit faster. While the character development is well done, I felt that the narrative could benefit from a more urgent sense of plot progression.

Final Verdict

Overall, "The Ending of This World Didn’t Matter to Me" is a novel with a lot of potential. The unique characterization of the MC, coupled with the promise of a compelling romance, makes it a worthwhile read. While the pacing could be improved and the MC's passivity might not be for everyone, I'm intrigued enough to continue following the story and see where it goes. I'd give it a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars.
