Description

I’m Shinji Ueda, a first-year high school student. It’s my first Christmas Eve with my girlfriend. But on the day of the date, she cancelled the date with me, and then unilaterally broke up with me. “I’m sorry, I can’t go out with an otaku because they’re creepy.” I was heartbroken after being dumped by my girlfriend, and Rika Matsumoto, a gal from the same class, appeared in front of me. Rika listened to my hurt story and encouraged me. Rika encouraged me by saying, “You. Be my lover.” Suddenly, she told me. Her true intention was to take revenge against… my ex-girlfriend. In fact, my ex-girlfriend had been having an affair with a boy in my class behind my back. “You and I are going to go out, and we’re going to continue our fake relationship. We’ll make love in front of your ex-girlfriend.” I teamed up with Rika to make my ex-girlfriend regret her actions, and we became fake lovers. At first the relationship is about revenge, but gradually I am drawn to Rika’s real side…. And Rika gradually became more beautiful, from a gal to a neat and tidy beauty. On the other hand, my ex-girlfriend realized after she broke up with me. Actually, the guy she ended up going out with was a s*umbag, and I was better than him. But by the time she realized it, it was too late. I had become a true lover with Rika, and there was no room for my ex-girlfriend at all.

My Thoughts on The Night My Girlfriend Cheated On Me and Dumped Me, I Ended Up Going Out With a Nerd-Friendly Gal – I’m in Love With a Former Gal Who Turned Out to Be a Neat and Tidy Beauty Who Now Fits My Interests.

First Impressions

Okay, let's be real, that title is a mouthful. But beyond the verbose name, the premise is intriguing: dumped for a delinquent, our protagonist finds solace with a former "gal" who's now his ideal match. It screams wish fulfillment, and I went in expecting a fairly standard revenge romance.

What Works Well

The core appeal seems to be the satisfying relationship between the male lead and Rika, the "nerd-friendly gal." It sounds like their connection is genuinely sweet, with both characters wanting to spoil each other. That dynamic, a mutual desire to cherish and support one another, is always a winner in my book. It appears the author successfully creates a doting love interest in Rika, which is a major plus.

Areas of Concern

The reviews suggest the "revenge" aspect might be a bit… much. It sounds like the author dials it up to eleven, delivering punishments that are cartoonishly severe. While some readers might find that cathartic, it could easily cross the line into being distasteful, especially the way the ex-girlfriend and those associated with her are dealt with. The over-the-top nature of the retribution could detract from the romance if it becomes the primary focus. The initial setup, particularly the ex-girlfriend's actions, also seems to stretch the bounds of believability. The whole "dumping a guy who clearly spoils you for a delinquent" trope can feel a bit contrived if not handled carefully.

Final Verdict

"The Night My Girlfriend Cheated On Me…" has potential, especially if you're looking for a sweet romance with a dash of wish fulfillment. However, be warned: the revenge elements are extreme and might overshadow the more tender aspects of the story. Proceed with caution, and maybe a strong stomach. I'd recommend checking out a few chapters to see if the tone aligns with your preferences before committing fully.
