My Thoughts on While I Was Giving Love Advice to My Best Friend, the School’s Most Beautiful Girl Somehow Became the Closest Person to Me
This title is quite a mouthful, isn't it? And the story itself is...well, it's a mixed bag. "While I Was Giving Love Advice to My Best Friend, the School’s Most Beautiful Girl Somehow Became the Closest Person to Me" is a school-life romance that leans heavily into familiar tropes, which can be comforting or tiresome, depending on your preference.
First Impressions
Initially, I was a bit put off. The opening chapters felt repetitive, constantly hammering home the key characteristics of Reo, the handsome and popular best friend, and the "perfect school idol" heroine. It felt like the story was stuck on repeat, and I wondered if I'd be able to push through. The MC is a fairly standard "dense" male lead, though not entirely unlikable.
What Works Well
As I continued, the story started to grow on me. The dynamic between the main characters is genuinely sweet, and I appreciated the focus on their individual growth. The author creates a strong sense of duality, with parallel relationships and characters reflecting each other. This adds a layer of depth to what could have been a very superficial story. I also liked how supportive everyone is of each other, and how misunderstandings are quickly resolved. The B-couple getting together early on and experiencing their own growth was a nice touch.
Areas of Concern
The writing, while decent, isn't particularly groundbreaking. The initial repetition, while perhaps intended for characterization, can be grating. Also, the MC, though caring, sometimes falls into the trap of being overly passive. Depending on your preferences, this may be a turn off.

I'd give it a solid 3.5/5.
