## My Thoughts on I Have Decided to Go Look for My Father "I Have Decided to Go Look for My Father" is a novel that promises a heartwarming tale of familial love and overcoming adversity, and for the most part, it delivers. While it treads familiar ground, especially for fans of similar stories like "My Whole Family Are Villains," it offers a unique charm that kept me engaged. ### First Impressions The initial chapters are definitely a mixed bag. The protagonist, a young girl escaping a truly awful home life, immediately tugged at my heartstrings. However, the circumstances surrounding her escape, involving some seriously dark themes, were jarring and, for some, off-putting. It's a rough start, no doubt, and some may find it hard to push through. ### What Works Well Once past the initial hurdles, the novel shines in its portrayal of the evolving father-daughter relationship. The father's awkward attempts to connect with his newfound daughter, learning the ropes of parenting through online forums and genuine effort, were genuinely touching. I especially appreciated how the MC remained true to her age, retaining childish qualities despite her difficult past. The family dynamic, with doting relatives and supportive cousins, created a warm and fuzzy atmosphere that I found incredibly comforting. The MC's intelligence is a key part of the story, but it felt balanced and believable, not overly exaggerated. It was refreshing to see her use her skills to navigate the world and protect her loved ones. The story focuses more on family relationships, with the romance being a very slow burn, which suited the overall tone. ### Areas of Concern Despite its strengths, the novel isn't without its flaws. The early dark themes can be a major turn-off for some, and the similarities to other novels in the genre are undeniable. Some may find the plot somewhat cliché, and the MC's personality lacking in depth. The ending, while happy, felt a little rushed to some readers, and the handling of the villains was less than satisfying. The transition to romance also felt abrupt, lacking the necessary build-up. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Some readers expressed concerns about how the MC initially handles her situation and her subservient attitude towards her father. While I understand these concerns, I interpreted it as a reflection of her traumatic past and fear of abandonment. Also, the ending of the story can be seen as forced and not well written. ### Final Verdict Overall, "I Have Decided to Go Look for My Father" is an enjoyable read, especially if you're a fan of family-focused stories with a touch of wish fulfillment. While it has its shortcomings, the heartwarming relationships and the protagonist's journey to find love and belonging make it a worthwhile experience. I'd recommend it with a few caveats, especially regarding the dark themes in the beginning.
