Synopsis

Finally! I’m finally free of all the drama surrounding Ethan and his harem from last year. Now, I just want to enjoy my new high school and avoid the shenanigans of Ethan and his new group of infatuated girls. This proves impossible, however, when one of the girls approaches me with a request that I can’t refuse. Damn me and my big heart. Anyway, such a simple request somehow ends up with me being suckered into helping all of them grow closer to Ethan. Seems like no matter what I do, I’m destined to become the harem protagonist’s sidekick. I guess my life’s going to be a lot livelier than I imagined. Or annoying. Definitely one of the two.

    Though at only about 40-50 pages in length so far, this story is better than 99% of the pure hot amateur garbage that you can find on this website based on the grammar alone. Characters so far have their own personalities, plot has potential, and it is clear that the author has amazing writing skill above 99.9% of what I have read here over the years. If you enjoy anime/light novel type romance-comedies, this story is basically that, and it is great  (I basically see no difference in the quality between the popular foreign stuff and this so far; hopefully that continues) . The current 4.1 star rating is peculiar and very, very surprisingly low since many stories on this website are from non-English natives (or sadly, English natives), that have the English command of a 1st grader yet have over 4.5 stars. Makes me think that some other authors on this site are jealous of the 1st place trending spot this story has atm as well as its quality. I think the author should get about 80 or so pages total written and then start posting this story on Royal Road, where there is a much larger audience and more quality stories to be found. The quality of this story deserves to be on Trending over there as well. I am heavily looking forward to the continuation to this story.

    A laid-back novel describing the thoughts and actions of someone who's truly fulfilling the role of a support character. Although there are hints to the changing dynamics of the romantic interests present in this story, it doesn't repel the beauty of the melancholy that's present in Ethan's story. 

    Like some have mentioned, this is a considerably relatable story (perhaps purposefully so) for those that are or have used to attend high school with a like-minded mentality, and it takes pride in being one.

    As for criticism where criticism is due, the narrative feels a little forced in terms of how some characters do things that may sometimes appear as illogical based on their personality profiles. However this is just a nitpick on my part, and I fully understand that taking things even slower might cause the romantic subplot to completely vanish in the back of the reader's mind.

    A personal 4/5.

    OK I know what some of you might be thinking, and I thought the same as well... But wow the plot really changes and you question who is really a sidekick????? At least make it to the Fair arc before making any conclusions, and I think you will be happy!

    I binged read it in just under an hour and I must say that the reviews didn't lie, it really is a good story. Though I did see some problems but it's just personal biases, but other than that, it's all good!

    So far, there hasn't been any drama, or at least something that I could consider as one, so it's a pretty laid-back story.

    Honestly, I was just expecting a generic romcom or harem, but this exceeded my expectations. It has pretty good pacing, distinct characters, and best of all, Character Development!

    Honestly, it's kind of cliche. My review is a little early on, so take it with a grain of salt, but at least at the beginning; it's not worth reading.

    Although better then most, it handles subtlety poorly, and in a story that is a slow romance that becomes integral to the story. It became obvious that the Heroine Rika was late game romance material, but the story is beating you over the head with it, by having the supporting cast (parents, friends, etc.) pushing the narrative. 

    In essence; it felt like we were being 'told' to like the couple, rather then shown. Not to say their aren't 'show' scenes, but their always follow by a supporting character 'hinting' that their a good couple. 

    It's done so much it hurts the story. At the end, as a reader, you can't help but think; Why do they like each other again?

    Simply put, it felt like the romance was being pushed rather inorganically.

    Removing my review as it was unnecessarily combative.  TLDR Characters are not my cup of tea, relationships form from seemingly nowhere to advance the plot.
