Description
To repay my debt, I agreed to become the body double of the saint. The job description was simple—after the real saint had ditched her job to go on a honeymoon, I was supposed to dress up as her, and go on a pilgrimage in her stead… …In all actuality, it seemed that the real saint was a ridiculous person who did various misdeeds and was hated by her traveling companions with a passion. Moreover, our destination was full of life-threatening dangers. …As I thought, I was bamboozled. The story of a heroine who unknowingly established her position as a saint and was surrounded by her traveling companions…, maybe.

My Thoughts on The Fake Saint’s Evolution Into a Genuine One
First Impressions
"The Fake Saint's Evolution Into a Genuine One" promised a lighthearted romp with a female protagonist navigating the tricky world of saints and reverse harems. I dove in expecting some laughs and maybe a bit of romance, and for the most part, the story delivered. It's a fairly quick read, perfect for when you want something fun without a huge commitment.
What Works Well
One of the strongest aspects of this novel is its protagonist. I appreciated that she wasn't portrayed as foolish, just endearingly ignorant about the world she's thrust into. She's hardworking, focused on her family, and refreshingly practical. The humor also hit the mark for me. It wasn't laugh-out-loud hilarious, but it consistently brought a smile to my face, which is always a plus. I found the story's portrayal of her family relationships to be a welcome change from typical tropes.
Areas of Concern
Unfortunately, the novel stumbles significantly with its ending. The consensus seems to be that it feels incredibly rushed and incomplete. It's as if the author suddenly decided to wrap things up in a hurry, leaving many plot threads dangling. The male leads, while potentially interesting, also felt somewhat underdeveloped. Their quirks, while adding some spice, bordered on the bizarre, making it difficult to fully invest in any of the romantic possibilities.

Final Verdict
Overall, "The Fake Saint’s Evolution Into a Genuine One" is a decent, quick read with a likeable protagonist and enjoyable humor. However, the rushed and unsatisfying ending significantly detracts from the overall experience. If you're looking for a lighthearted story to pass the time, it might be worth checking out, but be prepared for a somewhat anticlimactic conclusion. I would rate it a solid 3 out of 5 stars.
