## My Thoughts on After Breaking up With My Selfish Girlfriend, I Saved a Beautiful Mother and Daughter, and They Started Doting on Me This title is quite a mouthful, isn't it? "After Breaking up With My Selfish Girlfriend, I Saved a Beautiful Mother and Daughter, and They Started Doting on Me" definitely sets the stage. I dove into this novel with a mix of curiosity and skepticism, and I came out the other side with a few thoughts. ### First Impressions Right off the bat, it's clear this story leans heavily into wish fulfillment. The premise is straightforward: guy gets dumped, becomes a hero, and lands himself a *very* interesting romantic situation. It's the kind of setup that either hooks you immediately or makes you roll your eyes. For me, it was somewhere in between. I was intrigued, but also wary. ### What Works Well The pacing is undeniably fast. The chapters are short and sweet, and the story moves quickly. If you're looking for a light, fluffy read that doesn't demand too much of your attention, this could be it. The MC's personality is also a plus. He isn't your typical dense protagonist; he acknowledges and appreciates the attention he receives. This makes him more relatable and less frustrating to read. I appreciated that the author didn't shy away from the ecchi elements, which felt natural for the story. It's a fun, escapist fantasy that knows what it is and delivers. ### Areas of Concern The rapid pace comes at a cost. The story lacks depth and detail. Character development is minimal, and the world-building is practically non-existent. The ex-girlfriend subplot feels tacked on and doesn't contribute much to the overall narrative. Also, the writing can be clunky at times, with awkward transitions and a lack of descriptive detail. While the lack of detail can be a point of concern, it's also part of the novel's charm. It's a quick, easy read that doesn't overstay its welcome. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Okay, let's address the elephant in the room: the "oyakodon" aspect. Yes, the MC ends up in a relationship with both the mother and daughter. If that's not your cup of tea, steer clear. The story culminates with him marrying both of them, having a child, and becoming a house husband. It's a full-blown harem ending, so be prepared. ### Final Verdict "After Breaking up With My Selfish Girlfriend, I Saved a Beautiful Mother and Daughter, and They Started Doting on Me" is a flawed but ultimately enjoyable guilty pleasure. It's not going to win any literary awards, but if you're looking for a quick, fluffy read with a unique romantic twist, you might find yourself enjoying it. Just be aware of its limitations and embrace the absurdity. I'd give it a solid 3 out of 5 stars.
