There's No Freaking Way I'll be Your Lover! Unless... (Light Novel) Vol. 1

First and foremost, content warning about sexual assault and date rape. The original description of this series when I preordered it made it sound like an almost playful enemies-to-lovers bullying story. However, it is very far from that. It is far more like, "spoiled girl has no concept of respecting boundaries and will take whatever she wants whenever she wants …

I like that the light novel version of this story gives a more insight into \*why\* Rena is so hesitant to get in a ‘as lovers’ relationship compared to the manga, which was nice… but man, Mai’s pushy-ness probably comes off even worse in written form vs. drawn, and bits with Rena feeling bad about perfectly valid reactions to Mai …

It was all going well (more less, since there are MANY problematic parts) until the end… It was definitely not what I expected. I suppose the next light novels will be better than this one, hopefully.

Safe to say I didn’t enjoy much. There were plenty of rape-y parts and I thought it wasn’t gonna happen more than once but what the heck do I know? 1/5

最初はなんか「これ普通だな」って感じだったが二章が始まってからかなり面白くなってきた。 最後で何も解決してないみたいな、中途半端に終わったみたいな気がしてならないが、それでも大目に見ることは出来る。 特に気に入ったのは主人公のナレーション。いきいきしていて、主人公の個性がよく出ていた。お陰で読みやすくて、とても楽しかった。 同作家の他の作品、アリオトも楽しみにしている。

Książka opowiada o Amaori Renako, młodej dziewczynie, która do tej pory wiodła życie samotnicy. Wraz z rozpoczęciem nauki w liceum postanawia to zmienić. Zmienia swoją prezencję i zachowanie, tak by lepiej wpasować się w grono popularnych dziewczyn. Poznaje niezwykle atrakcyjną koleżankę o imieniu Oudoka Mai i szybko dołącza do jej grupy znajomych. W wyniku nietuzinkowej sytuacji, Mai zakochuje się w …

Personally, I enjoy this book a lot and highly recommend it. But it's clear from the middling ratings of this book that reviews are mixed. So in this review, I'll try to figure out **who** are the people that'll like this. The story features Renako, a highschooler that could be affectionately described as a girlfailure — socially awkward, has difficulty …

CW: SA, Sexual Coercion Girl. If Mai were a man, this book would be seen by a lot of people a lot differently. Me included. Renako and Mai were cute if you get past the whole... Mai not being able to take 'no' for an answer and constantly pressuring Renako thing. To a certain extent Renako did need some pressure …

I’d love to give this book 3.5 stars rather than 4, but oh, well… I really have mixed feelings about this book. First of all, Mai — the second protagonist, the protagonist’s “love interest” — is SO annoying most of the time! She’s super self-centered and overly confident. It’s funny at first, but then it just makes you feel bored …

another series i'm indebted to my wife for introducing me to. my thought on seeing the anime was basically, “yeah, that was a really good yuri.” it felt top 10 of the year, not “this is so good i'll be thinking about it forever.” less than halfway through this first volume i knew these light novels were going to be …

The love interest sexually assaults the main character multiple times. The characters are annoying throughout most of it (In one way or another) but like I said, the main character gets sexually assaulted multiple times. It isn't addressed as a joking thing, so that's good at least, but it also doesn't treat it as badly as it actually is. They …

The anime adaptation of this is one of my favourite Yuri anime, but the book made me realize that some of the plot is very wrong. I know I’ve said before that Mai is my favourite and probably my main choice for Renato, but gosh that chapter in Renako’s house….WRONG. I felt like it wasn’t properly adressed, and Renako definitely …

J'avais lu une trentaine de chapitres du manga, et je redécouvre ce titre par le biais de son support original. C'est une romcom assez fun même si j'avoue avoir été mis mal à l'aise par les comportements de Mai qui tiennent de l'agression. Heureusement la fin du volume semble indiquer qu'elle a compris que fallait pas faire ça. J'ai également …

Short and sweet. It was kinda fun, but I preferred the anime. The adaptation was very faithful, so it was basically a rehash of what I'd already seen but without the dynamic visual direction that made the anime stand out and be hilarious. Of course the voice acting also enhanced the experience--and it all made the light novel a tad …

Muy buena novela, muy divertida. Renako es del tipo (citando a Homer, de los simpson: No, no, no, no, no, no, bueno sí). Va de que no le molan las chicas y está más claro que el agua que si. De introvertida a extrovertida triunfa, desde luego, pero no como ella quiere, haciendo amigos, no. Si no levantando pasiones. Sigue …

I literally just read the last two chapters because I wanted to know how it went after volume 2 of the manga. Anyway, these girls are batty and need therapy to help them act like normal girls rather than wackos.

4.5 estrellas Qué puedo decir? Es toda una romcom, me enamore de Mai mas de lo que creí con el anime y ahora quiero que se quede con ella a pesar de que todavía faltan las demás. Aun así, fue muy entretenido, podemos ver mas de los pensamientos y sentimientos de Renako. This entire review has been hidden because of …

this is just renako aka miss cannot commit trying to figure out what she wants??? with mai aka ceo of can't take no for an answer. this was supposed to be funny??? anyways whatever the fuck was this first volume i know it gets a little better since i watched the anime

**Amazing!** This was everything I wanted in a yuri light novel and more. I need the next volume ASAP. Gonna be reading it again and again.

I hate this with every fiber of my being. It‘s basically just sexual harrasement.
