6.6/10

Minor plot spoilers.

Many mangas have the concept of wish-fulfillment in their story telling and plot line, but this manga is the closest material I’ve ever read taking that ideal on a whole new level. To be exact, not only is the plot line clearly based on a huge, overnight glow-up, but there’s numerous of plot developments and arcs that scream the cursed words of “wish fulfillment.”

The plot is somewhat unique with the whole childhood friend ex concept, however, the plot is bare and dry after the premise has extended its use. Most of the chapters go like this: “The main character is soooo cute ... and good at everything; wow, the childhood friend is such a horrible person.” There are some tweaks and kinks in the general plot line, but every single chapter has followed that same formula, which just gets boring.

The characters are as expected: They are all boring and one-dimensional. There are tons of self-inserted characters for the sake of having characters and plot development, each of them are the epitome of shallowness.

Besides for the manipulative ex-girlfriend premise, this manga doesn’t stray away or do much different from the usual glow-up mangas. Instead, it could be arguable that it’s a tier below, but at least the first chapter was good.

An interesting premise and great art goes to waste on a story that just gets more miserable and boring.

The story starts out interesting enough with the premise of a male MC finally freeing himself from the gaslighting and emotional manipulation of his "girlfriend". The first few chapters which focus on the emotional emancipation of the lead and starting friendships and new love are more than solid. I also think the art and character design is quite good and the female love interest is really cute and visually more interesting than most standard heroines. Unfortunately the story quickly takes a nosedive...

After the main plot seems solved ... very early in the story it devolves into repetitive misery porn where every character becomes the most extreme doormat imaginable, ready to endure immense suffering for seemingly no reason.

I never needed to stop a series mid-read and this is certainly the first time I wish I had not started reading it. So unfortunately I have to recommend anyone not start reading it.

A really long title for a manga/anime has been such a viral thing until now, lots of these types have good starts and are usually very interesting at the start, but as it goes on, you could notice the poor execution the author has done over the chapters that you have read.

The characters are so predictable and has no concrete personalities. You would see these types EVERYWHERE. I mean I kind of get why the MC was that way as he grew up being manipulated and all, but man, this type of shit does not happen in real life and will never be close ... to at least being a little realistic. I don't pity the MC, have a little backbone bro no human being is THAT stupid to think they are super unattractive when they really aren't. The psychological abuse the MC has suffered experiencing from his childhood friend is something that could possibly happen, but not to an attractive guy. The story is bull, don't read this unless you want to get pissed off.

You can say I just wrote this review just to hate and I wouldn't blame you, it really seems that way. I just really wanted to call out poor writing. People need to start THINKING and have a little bit more taste, rather than eating up this superficial mess that losers eat up as "Oh yea, that's what you get b*tch! MC is so chad! He is the better person here! So me!" type shit, it's SO repetitive and SO boring.
