## My Thoughts on After Practicing S*x With My Childhood Friend I Don’t Even Like, I Started Becoming Popular With Beautiful Girls. However, for Some Reason, My Childhood Friend Starts Acting Cold This title is certainly a mouthful, and the premise is… intriguing, to say the least. Diving into "After Practicing S*x With My Childhood Friend I Don’t Even Like, I Started Becoming Popular With Beautiful Girls. However, for Some Reason, My Childhood Friend Starts Acting Cold" was definitely a unique experience. The mixed reactions I've seen have left me with a lot to unpack. ### First Impressions Okay, I'll be honest, the title alone made me raise an eyebrow. It screams "harem anime" and sets certain expectations. It's a bit of a rollercoaster ride, and I wasn't entirely sure what to expect going in. ### What Works Well Despite the somewhat questionable premise, there are elements that some readers seem to enjoy. The idea of the childhood friend actually harboring deep feelings for the MC, masked by a strong tsundere personality, is a classic trope, but when done well, it can be endearing. Some appreciate the potential for character development, especially in understanding the childhood friend's seemingly cold behavior. The story seems to lean into rom-com territory, offering a lighthearted escape for those who enjoy the genre. ### Areas of Concern The biggest issue, at least for me, is the harem aspect in a modern setting. The MC's inevitable juggling act with multiple love interests can feel a bit… hollow. It raises the question of whether the story can deliver a satisfying conclusion for each character involved, or if it will ultimately fall into the trap of leading everyone on. I worry that the MC, despite his "experience," might still come across as indecisive and potentially frustrating for readers seeking a more decisive protagonist. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Some readers have pointed out the childhood friend's behavior stems from a deep-seated affection masked by a "heavy caliber tsundere" persona. ### Final Verdict "After Practicing S*x With My Childhood Friend I Don’t Even Like, I Started Becoming Popular With Beautiful Girls. However, for Some Reason, My Childhood Friend Starts Acting Cold" is a bit of a mixed bag. If you're a fan of harem comedies with a healthy dose of tsundere, you might find something to enjoy here. However, if you're looking for a deeply meaningful or realistic romance, this might not be the story for you. It all depends on your tolerance for the tropes and your investment in the characters.
