I Regard You as Enemies, Yet You’re All After My Heart! Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator
## My Thoughts on I Regard You as Enemies, Yet You’re All After My Heart!
This novel… where do I even begin? "I Regard You as Enemies, Yet You’re All After My Heart!" is definitely a wild ride, a chaotic mix of xianxia, romance, and a whole lot of questionable decisions. It's the kind of story that leaves you simultaneously entertained and slightly disturbed, wondering what you just witnessed.
### First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the premise: an arrogant MC, bent on revenge, accidentally attracting the very people he despises. The first few chapters had a certain charm, a comedic clash between the MC's intentions and the reality of his effect on others. It promised a fun, if slightly twisted, journey.
### What Works Well
The humor is definitely a strong point. The MC's inner monologue, juxtaposed with the obsessive affections of his "enemies," is often hilarious. I found myself chuckling at the sheer absurdity of the situations he gets himself into. Several readers praised the writing style, and I agree that there are moments of genuine eloquence amidst the chaos. And while the plot may be lacking, there's something strangely compelling about the MC's single-minded pursuit of revenge, even as it backfires spectacularly.
### Areas of Concern
However, the novel quickly descends into a tangled mess of plot holes, forgotten characters, and rushed resolutions. The ending, in particular, feels abrupt and unsatisfying, as if the author simply ran out of steam. The relationships often lack depth and build-up, relying instead on instant attraction and obsessive behavior. Moreover, the story leans heavily into non-consensual situations, which can be deeply unsettling and detract from any potential romance.
### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning
Proceed with caution! The following contains major spoilers regarding the plot and character relationships.
The ending reveals that all the obsessive MLs are fragments of the same soul, a revelation that attempts to justify their actions but ultimately falls flat. The frequency of r*pe scenes is a major issue, and the resolution of those traumas feels glossed over and inadequate. The sheer number of characters who disappear without explanation is also frustrating, leaving many plot threads unresolved.
### Final Verdict
"I Regard You as Enemies, Yet You’re All After My Heart!" is a guilty pleasure, at best. It has moments of humor and intrigue, but ultimately suffers from a weak plot, underdeveloped characters, and problematic themes. If you're looking for a lighthearted, well-constructed romance, this is not it. However, if you enjoy chaotic, over-the-top stories with plenty of smut and don't mind overlooking some serious flaws, you might find some entertainment here. Just be prepared for a bumpy ride. I'd give it a generous 3/5 stars, mostly for the initial entertainment value and the efforts of the translators.
