## My Thoughts on A Wave of Exes Came Looking for Me. What to Do?! "A Wave of Exes Came Looking for Me. What to Do?!" is quite the rollercoaster. This comedy, fantasy, romance, and yaoi blend promised a unique ride, and in many ways, it delivered. The premise alone – a seasoned transmigrator trying to live a quiet life only to be confronted by his past lovers – is inherently hilarious and full of potential for both tension and comedic gold. ### First Impressions I was immediately drawn in by the setup. A world-weary MC, done with his missions and just wanting some peace, is suddenly bombarded by his exes from different worlds? Sign me up! The idea of these powerful, obsessive exes clashing and disrupting his "normal" life was incredibly appealing. I was ready for some chaos and laughs. ### What Works Well The humor is definitely a strong point. The MC's exasperated reactions to his increasingly absurd situation are genuinely funny. Many readers praised the author's ability to create distinct personalities for each of the exes, making their interactions with the MC even more entertaining. I also appreciated the world-building, even if it was primarily through flashbacks and reminiscence. It gave depth to the characters and their relationships, making the stakes feel higher. The translation is also excellent, making the story a smooth and enjoyable read. Some also felt the crossover elements with "Need to Propose to Seven Men" were well executed, enriching the overall narrative. ### Areas of Concern While the premise is strong, the execution isn't always perfect. I noticed that some readers felt the MC's character development falters in the latter half of the story, becoming less proactive and more reactive. There's also a sentiment that the author "tells" rather than "shows" when it comes to the relationships, leaving some feeling emotionally detached. I can see how the sheer number of exes introduced in a relatively short space could lead to a sense of superficiality in their backstories. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Okay, let's talk about the ending. Some readers were disappointed with the resolution, particularly the revelation that all the exes are fragments of the same soul. While some found it a convenient way to avoid choosing a single lover, others felt it undermined the individual relationships built throughout the story. There's also the issue of a character from another of the author's novels resolving a major problem, which some felt diminished the MC's agency. ### Final Verdict Despite some flaws, I found "A Wave of Exes Came Looking for Me. What to Do?!" to be an enjoyable and entertaining read. The humor is on point, the premise is unique, and the characters, while not always perfectly developed, are memorable. If you're looking for a lighthearted and chaotic story with a healthy dose of romance and supernatural elements, this might be right up your alley. Just be aware of the potential pitfalls in the latter half and the divisive ending. I'd give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
