The President is Being Shameless Again

My Thoughts on The President is Being Shameless Again

"The President is Being Shameless Again" is a completed web novel in the josei and romance genres. I decided to check this out, despite some mixed ratings, because sometimes a little fluff is exactly what I need. So, how did it hold up?

First Impressions

The initial chapters definitely threw me into the deep end of familiar tropes. We've got the orphaned female lead, the handsome and wealthy male lead who falls head over heels first, and a whole host of villains ready to make her life miserable. If you're looking for something groundbreaking, this might not be it. However, if you're in the mood for something light and predictable, it might just hit the spot.

What Works Well

What I appreciated most was the core relationship between the main characters. Many readers praised the lack of frustrating misunderstandings, which is a huge win in my book. The leads communicate openly, and their romance is generally described as sweet and fluffy. The male lead's "shamelessness" is apparently a major draw, with many finding him endearing and devoted. I also liked that the female lead isn't portrayed as weak or overly reliant on the male lead. She's intelligent and capable, which makes her a more relatable and enjoyable character to root for. Apparently, some of the side characters get their own stories later on, which I think is a nice touch.

Areas of Concern

While the fluff and romance are appealing, the villains seem to be a major sticking point for many. I can see how their repetitive and often illogical actions could become tiresome. I also noticed several reviewers mentioned the male lead's initial behavior being "creepy" before the relationship is established. This is something to be aware of going in. While some readers found the predictability comforting, others found it boring, so your mileage may vary.

Final Verdict

Overall, "The President is Being Shameless Again" seems like a decent read if you're looking for a fluffy and predictable romance. The main couple's relationship is a major highlight, but be prepared for repetitive villains and some potentially cringeworthy moments. I'd say it's a solid 3 out of 5 stars – enjoyable in small doses, but not something I'd necessarily binge-read.
