## My Thoughts on Me and Ojou-sama "Me and Ojou-sama" presents an intriguing premise: a seemingly normal boy and a wealthy, visually impaired girl forging a connection. I went in expecting a sweet, if perhaps a bit unconventional, romance, and what I found was... complicated. ### First Impressions The initial chapters definitely grabbed my attention. The setup, with the MC and Ojou-sama's early interactions, has a certain charm. Her subtle, yet persistent, attempts to get closer to him, like conveniently "forgetting" her pencils, are undeniably cute and hint at a deeper, perhaps possessive, interest. ### What Works Well The story shines when it focuses on the core relationship between the MC and the blind girl. I found myself invested in their interactions and the way their bond develops. The novel successfully explores the dynamic between them, especially the power imbalance and the MC's internal struggle with his feelings. I also appreciated the glimpses into the lives of his friends, even if those side stories felt somewhat underdeveloped. ### Areas of Concern However, I did find myself struggling with some aspects of the narrative. The MC's passivity and willingness to be, for lack of a better word, "controlled" by the Ojou-sama raised some red flags. While some might find the dynamic intriguing, I personally found it a bit off-putting. It felt like his motivations weren't always clear, and his actions sometimes lacked a convincing rationale. Also, the writing style, described by some as a simple recounting of events, left me wanting more depth and emotional resonance. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Okay, let's talk about some potential spoilers. Several readers have pointed out the MC's… intense… attraction to the Ojou-sama and his internal struggles with it. This definitely adds a darker layer to the story, and it's something to be aware of going in. Additionally, there's mention of another love interest who ultimately doesn't stand a chance, and a significant time skip at the end that might feel abrupt to some. ### Final Verdict "Me and Ojou-sama" is a mixed bag. It has moments of genuine sweetness and intriguing character dynamics, but it's also plagued by questionable character motivations and a potentially problematic power dynamic. If you're looking for a lighthearted romance, this might not be it. However, if you're willing to delve into a story with darker undertones and a complex relationship at its core, it might be worth a try. Just be prepared for some potentially uncomfortable themes and a protagonist whose actions might leave you scratching your head. Ultimately, I'd give it a tentative recommendation with a strong caveat: proceed with caution.
