My Thoughts on The Hero Suddenly Proposed to Me, but… (LN)
"The Hero Suddenly Proposed to Me, but…" is a novel I approached with mixed expectations, and honestly, I'm still a bit torn. It's a blend of comedy, fantasy, and romance, with a dash of shoujo sweetness, but the execution is... complicated.
First Impressions
The initial premise is intriguing: an average-looking protagonist suddenly proposed to by a powerful hero. Sounds like a recipe for lighthearted fun, right? Well, it's not quite that simple. The early chapters do have a comedic charm, especially with the MC's internal monologues and her desire to live a normal life as a background character. However, the tone shifts pretty quickly, and that's where things get dicey.
What Works Well
I can see why some readers are drawn to this story. The concept of a powerful hero falling for a "mob character" is definitely appealing. I also appreciated the author's attempt to explore the hero's backstory and motivations. The interactions between the hero and his friends can be genuinely entertaining, and I found myself enjoying the relationships the MC builds with other female characters.
Areas of Concern
Here's where my reservations kick in. The "comedy" often feels forced, and the "romance" leans heavily into questionable territory. The hero's actions can be interpreted as stalker-ish and coercive, which makes it difficult to root for the relationship. The MC's lack of agency in the early volumes is frustrating, and I found myself wanting her to be more proactive.

Final Verdict
Overall, "The Hero Suddenly Proposed to Me, but…" is a mixed bag. The premise has potential, but the execution is uneven. The hero's yandere tendencies and the MC's lack of agency are major drawbacks. If you're looking for a lighthearted, fluffy romance, this might not be for you. However, if you're willing to overlook the problematic elements and appreciate the humor and world-building, you might find something to enjoy. For me, it's a 3/5.
