My Thoughts on The Stand-in Little Mermaid Was Pampered

This novel was a delightful escape, a sugary-sweet treat that I devoured in one sitting. "The Stand-in Little Mermaid Was Pampered" promised fluff and a cute romance, and it absolutely delivered. It's not groundbreaking, but it's incredibly enjoyable if you're looking for something lighthearted and easy to read.

First Impressions

The premise immediately hooked me: a mermaid, a stand-in role, and a cold love interest ripe for melting. It felt like a classic setup with a fresh twist, and I was eager to see how the author would play with the familiar tropes. The initial chapters were charming, introducing a world that was just fantastical enough without getting bogged down in heavy world-building.

What Works Well

The heart of this story is undoubtedly the romance between the MC and ML. The gradual development of their relationship, from initial misunderstandings to mutual pining and finally, sweet confessions, was wonderfully executed. I especially appreciated the dynamic shift where the initially clingy MC found himself reciprocated by an equally attached ML. The comedic undertones throughout kept things light, and the supportive system added a touch of whimsy without feeling intrusive. The pacing was also spot-on, with something engaging happening in each chapter, preventing any sense of filler. I was also pleased to see the MC mend fences with his family in this new world; their genuine kindness added a layer of warmth to the overall narrative.

Areas of Concern

While I thoroughly enjoyed the story, I did find myself wanting a bit more depth in certain areas. The initial "coquettish points" system felt somewhat abandoned later on, and I was left wondering about its ultimate purpose. Additionally, I felt like there was untapped potential in exploring the MC's unique mermaid abilities or delving deeper into his past life. A little more conflict, perhaps with the ML's family, could have added some interesting tension.
