Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

A confession from the popular girl in the class, Yuzu. It was actually ‘Please pretend to be my lover to solve the triangle relationship in the ‘Riaju’* cliques’! In the class, Yuzu always pretends to be a good girl, but only in front of me, she behaves like a full-blown narcissist which I should’ve found annoying, but……

*リア充’Riaju’ is a term sometimes translated as ‘normies’ but it is actually a term used to refer to ‘people who enjoy life by having proper love life’ usually used by those who are not able to have one in real life.

One problem with most romances is that the heroine falls instantly in love with the MC for some dumb reason like the MC picking up her eraser which makes the chemistry feel fake.

This novel has no such issue since they are initially just in a fake relationship and has one of the best examples of amazing chemistry between them and actually shows the process of them falling for each other. The author also has a real talent for writing entertaining dialogue that flows naturally.

In typical JP Romance fashion the novel ends when they get together for real but the journey is definitely worth it. Plus they have a lot of lovey dovey moments when they are being a "fake" couple anyways.

The TL/editing is really solid but the site that hosts it relinks the chapters for some reason so you can't use the site features to change light/dark mode and resize the text. <<less

A must-read for pretty much everybody. Great story, albeit a little cliche, but the delivery is spot on. Just thinking about this LN warms my heart.

I really like the interaction between the primary characters. The MC is not a shy/pathetic character, but rather has a charisma that may entice the FMC later on. The premise is rather basic, but their connection and the way they pick on each other make it interesting and refreshing.

Easily my favorite Romcom @ NU right now. I like the fact that although MC is a loner, he isn't a pushover. He's got iniative and is actually a very popular person when needed. Now, the FMC is narccisistic but endearing. She cares for others, sometimes even above her own well-being. Their interaction are gold, might be one of the best character interactions in romcoms. (Go for SSes for sugar). Maybe I just love bickering couples

The actual drama in the main storyline is actually pretty interesting. It is a very... more>> realistic problem high schoolers can have. Now, the side stories are very very very good. I might say that they are better than most romcoms even though its just sides.

Last but not least, thank you for chocolala and Seiryuu for translating. <<less

8.5/10

I love the relationship between the MC and fMC, its really cute and sugary sometimes, and the drama arcs weren't bad. If theres one thing I want to complain about, it's how vague the MC and fmc's relationship is made by the author. Even after technically (sincerely) confessing, they still remain a "fake couple" and don't make it official even though they act (and flirt) like a real couple.

Otherwise though, amazing novel, I really recommend reading it if you love sugary slice of life romcoms

I didn't really have high expectations for this kind of story at first. But turns out that this is such a great novel, easily one of the best japan romcom I've read so far.

MC is a chad that's for sure, but FL is not fallen behind either. Their chemistry just is so good. FL's narcissistic may be annoying for some people but she really suit my taste so I enjoy it so much.

Just give it a try, if it's suit your taste then believe me it's worth your time to... more>> continue till the latest volume. The story is consistent so far. <<less

This is one of the best romcom LN I have ever read (maybe in top 3), I'm really looking foward to read vol 2, but also the side stories also very sweet, a good way to spend time waiting for vol 2

The 1st volume was awesome. One of the best I have read and I have read a fair share of light novels. While it may seem to copy the pretend lovers trope this is a lot better than other novels of the same trope and the ending of the 1st volume was mind blowing.

LOving the dynamic between the main characters. The MC is not some shy/pathetic guy but actually has a personality that might attract the FMC later on. The story is quite typical however, their relationship and the way picker at each other keeps it fun and refreshing

This is the best of the "we're fake dating" stories by far. Also the loner/popular pretty girl stories. Not that it has to face high standards in that regard, but it is truly above the rest. For one, the author actually knows how to write comedy and banter, and the romance scenes don't feel like they were copy pasted like a lot of the romcoms on this site. There is some drama in this story, but its pretty light, it does a good job at providing some stakes to the... more>> relationship between the two protagonists without overstaying its welcome. It's a tried-and-true romcom, that doesn't waste a lot of time like some do. Both of the protagonists are funny characters that I couldn't get enough of. My only real complaint is I wish there were more short stories, they were cute af. <<less

It's one of the better romcom I've ever read. MC and FMC interactions are cute and funny. I like how MC himself is some reliable person too. Though their confession was drag out a bit longer than it should and there're not enough after story. But overall is a really good novel to read.

Also. Another plus for me because I like how the author made MC and FMC played Tales of Symphonia together lol

I really like school life romcoms that do not go down a trope rabbit hole and consider this one as one of those. The story has a few twists and turns without getting blown out of proportions, dragging on or getting repetitive, following a rather simple goal from start to the end. The characters behave in a realistic appropriately mature (and immature) way for their age without feeling artificial and their interactions are funny yet feel natural.

Also I must note that the translation by the Foxaholic group is great, it... more>> was like balsam for sore eyes after being damaged from reading a lot of MTL's... <<less

To start it's a really good novel. No unnecessary harem (not until volume 2 but I haven't read that far and don't plan to), the MC is pretty relatable for a change and I don't find him annoying and all developments makes sense. The reason I rated it so low is the FMC she's just super annoying. Don't get me wrong I know I might be the only one who thinks that or maybe everyone thinks that and find that annoying-ness cute like the MC but I just don't. Its... more>> a shame that I found such a great LN but I'm not interested cause the FMC's not my type : ( <<less

this was a great read. I loved the dynamic between the MC and the fl. (Also, the side characters were enjoyable when they appeared too)

the FL reminds me of teruhashi from saiki k (who I also adored), narcissitic and 'perfect', but still really good people that do their best for their friends and everyone around them.

MC is very interesting too, I enjoyed his character a lot. He isn't a 'woe is me' loner, just someone who prefers their own company most of the time, and the story explores things... more>> that led to that realization.

It has a few moments where im like 'ehhh' but it's still a very good ln <<less

Best Romance Comedy for me. What I like is:

    • The plot, while not as dramatic, isn't driven by s*upid choices or misunderstandings. I hate when that happens.
    • Male Lead is quite normal and relatable.
    • Female Lead is best girl. She has emotions, but knows to control them instead of being toxic to others. She is sarcastic and plays pranks, but not to the point of being annoying. She is very cute, but it's not one dimensional and she is cute in many different ways.
    • The resolution is satisfying. It's done similar to oregairu perhaps, but the male lead (Maybe he is too competent for a high school student actually?) makes smarter choices which ends up being more cool.
    • There are quite a few original jokes/skits which are funny and creative while also simple. Side stories are all fun to read.
I will say that vol. 2 was not as good as vol. 1 in my opinion. It seemed to have worse pacing and a less interesting resolution. Though the side stories in vol. 2 were very cute.

This was so good I was forced to write my first review.

Regarding the main story, FMC's character is fleshed out pretty well, regarding her motives when she asked MC out and how that would affect her friends. The MC is proactive when he needs to be, and the FMC is very likable, her narcissism plays into some of the comedic parts. Their banter is really great, most of them funny, but some turn really sweet. I am relieved to find out ... more>>
Spoiler

that the MC doesn't have a traumatic past that caused him to shy away from social interactions, that he was actually a riajuu at first, but then chose to enjoy life by himself with his games. I'm a bit iffy about FMC's confession (kinda) not being given a clear answer by MC at end of v1 and not making it official at the end of v2 even though their feelings are obvious to each other,

[collapse]
but I think this will still be a great read going into the the next volumes since their dynamic is very nice

Regarding the side story, among the sugary romance that light/web novels here can offer, this is one of the best to get diabetes, make you go kyaa kyaa as you roll around your bed while reading, and cause you to wish that normies go explode. Seriously, how can they say they're fake lovers while doing all that stuff, what a dumb couple

5/5 would recommend <<less

Out of all the novels I have read, this is by far my most favourite romcom, the plot is played out very well and the characters feel fleshed out.

Spoiler

The end of Vol. 1 was pretty disappointing, but I still have faith that this will become an excellent novel
