Description
Sitting under a tree, watching the beautiful girl who had agreed to have a heart-to-heart suddenly lean in and close her eyes, Xi Ning felt a bit flustered. She had only maintained a surface-level “sisterly” relationship with her crush to appease her naive younger brother, who couldn’t take no for an answer. But why did this sisterly bond suddenly feel different? “Did you misunderstand something? I’m not gay!” Xi Ning protested to Kong Nianxi, who was staring at her with a smirk and a hint of amusement. “Why play hard to get when you were the one who started flirting with me in the first place?” Kong Nianxi teased. “If you really like me, stop playing games and be honest with yourself.” Meanwhile, in another conversation: Q: I have a twin brother who looks average but is popular in school. He recently developed a crush on the wild beauty in our class and asked me to help him. What should I do? A: Help him achieve his goal. She had me at hello.

My Thoughts on What Should I Do if My Younger Brother’s Crush Has Taken a Liking to Me?
This web novel, "What Should I Do if My Younger Brother’s Crush Has Taken a Liking to Me?" promises a sweet and fluffy yuri romance, and for the most part, it delivers. However, it's not without its shortcomings. It definitely leans into the "slice of life" aspect, focusing on the everyday interactions between the two leads, which can be both charming and, at times, a little repetitive.
First Impressions
Initially, I was hooked by the premise. The idea of a studious, somewhat oblivious protagonist being pursued by the school's most popular girl is a trope I enjoy. I found myself quickly invested in seeing how Xi Ning would react to Kong Nianxi's blatant flirting and advances. The brother, while a catalyst for the plot, didn't really bother me, but I can see how he might annoy some readers with his initial antics.
What Works Well
The core strength of this novel lies in its sugary-sweet romance. Kong Nianxi's proactive and confident pursuit of Xi Ning is genuinely endearing. It's fun to watch her relentlessly chip away at Xi Ning's stoicism, leading to some hilarious and heartwarming moments. The lack of significant homophobia in the story's universe is a definite plus, allowing the romance to blossom without unnecessary external obstacles. It's a light, easy read that's perfect for when you need a dose of fluff and sweetness. The translation is also well done, making the story flow smoothly.
Areas of Concern
While the simplicity is part of its charm, the novel does suffer from a lack of depth and development. Several supporting characters and plot threads are introduced but then abruptly abandoned, leaving loose ends dangling. Xi Ning's backstory, which hints at past trauma and social difficulties, feels underdeveloped and ultimately inconsequential to the main plot. Once the leads get together, some readers may find the story becomes somewhat repetitive, lacking significant conflict or progression beyond the initial "honeymoon" phase.

Final Verdict
Overall, "What Should I Do if My Younger Brother’s Crush Has Taken a Liking to Me?" is a pleasant and enjoyable read if you're looking for a lighthearted, low-drama yuri romance. While it may not break any new ground or offer profound insights, it delivers on its promise of a sweet and fluffy story. Just be prepared to overlook some underdeveloped plot points and a lack of significant character depth. I'd recommend it for readers who enjoy the "popular girl falls for stoic girl" trope and appreciate a straightforward, feel-good narrative.
