最初の感想はとても面白かったです。主人公の佐城渉とヒロインの夏川愛華の変な関係。佐城の感情は劣等感ので、彼の態度は諦める感じを持っています。そして、夏川はツンデレ系として、素直は難しいです。二人の関係の距離は短くて遠いです。べたかもしらないけど、個人的はいいストーリーでした。時間があれば是非読んでください！

2.5 rounded up~
The Dreaming Boy is a Realist is a novel I really wanted to like. I read volume 1 of the manga version first and thought the novel version would definitely be better. It turns out it wasn't. It wasn't bad per se. It was just perhaps a little too Japanese for my taste.
The premise is quite interesting. For three years, this high school boy has basically been announcing his love and devotion to a girl in his class only to be harshly rejected time and time again. This never fazes him though and the two are most often together anyway despite the rejection. This routine happens so often that the two have basically become a well-known comedy duo couple in their school. One day though, reality comes crashing onto the boy. After one last rejection, he decides to let his love go and that's where the story begins.
Although it wasn't my cup of tea, the author did manage to write a very unique main character with very amusing circumstances. His personality is a very delicate balance of realistic and chuunibyou, obtuse and all-seeing. He believes himself to be fully enlightened to the reality of their relationship and settles on being his love's fan from afar instead of a boyfriend despite all the frustrated roundabout hints from the female lead.
The main premise is interesting for sure but the way it's delivered is mainly what stops me from liking it. The writing style is almost like Jane Austen's in that you are deposited in the middle of very mundane but realistic scenarios. The truth of their relationship is unearthed only between their roundabout conversations. Normally, I love this style of writing, but because it was so realistic, I couldn't fully relate and empathize with them. I don't know if it was because it was so Japanese or because they were high schoolers. Their mentality was very foreign and I couldn't grasp what they were trying to do or imply in some parts.
Plus, I've read a lot of Japanese light novels and manga and I don't usually have trouble with this, but in this book, I had serious trouble wrapping my head around their names. The main players in the beginning Aizawa, Aikawa, and Natsukawa plus their first names and their accompanying nicknames were really confusing to remember in the beginning. It might be a me thing but it definitely added to alienation.
It's definitely a book with a lot of talking points, but liking it is a different story. I'm a little curious about how their relationship will conclude though so I'll probably stick around for another volume or two to see if it grows on me.

"What is most terrifying however—is that I actually woke up and faced reality during that time. That is something I can only say retrospectively."
The Dreaming Boy Is a Realist Vol. 1
By Okemaru.
A boy madly in love with a beauty who pays him no attention ( or does she?) Gets hit by a football, and snaps back to reality, stops stalking and begins his character development into a super-esque realist person. This is the simplest way to put this series. "Put in simplest terms, he had returned to reality."
Compared to the anime, the light novel is much better. I still don't know why I started this light novel, didn't like the anime much yet felt right reading this.
The monologues add so much morr depth to the story, which the anime failed miserably. However, sometimes, the monologues feel too weird. Sometimes, those are quite shocking. Basically, it's a mixture of good and bad.
"Sometimes I wonder if I’m even worth anything as a human…I am a primate. Return to monke."
The story isn't all that special, in all honesty. Still, for some reason, I'm starting the second volume. Something about Wataru's development piques my interest.
If the anime adaption was 6/10, this would he 7/10.

ผมเลือกหยิบเล่มนี้มาอ่านเพราะพล็อตค่อนข้างแปลกใหม่กว่าเรื่องอื่นๆ ปกติรอมคอมแนว Boy Fantasy มักจะมาในพล็อต พระนางเจอกันโดยโชคชะตา แล้วก็ต่างคลั่งกันกันและกัน นางเอกคอยเอาใจจนเว่อวังอลังการไม่ว่าพระเอกจะห่วยแตกแค่ไหน ผมอ่านแล้วรู้สึกเบื่อมาก แต่เรื่องนี้เริ่มมาด้วยการที่นางเอกรังเกียจพระเอกที่คอยตามตื๊อบอกรัก ค่อนข้างแปลกใหม่และดูเรียลมาก ผู้ชายแทบทุกคนน่าจะเคยมีโมเม้นแบบนี้สักครั้งในชีวิต ตลอดเล่มนิยายจะนำเสนอเรื่องราวการกลับมารักตัวเองเห็นคุณค่าตัวเองของพระเอก เลิกเอาหัวใจตัวเองไปทิ้งขว้างอย่างไร้ค่า ผ่านมุมมองบุคคลที่หนึ่ง ในขณะที่นางเอกจะเริ่มจากรังเกียจ แล้วค่อยๆรู้ใจตัวเองทีละนิด เป็น Character development ของพระ-นางที่ผมรู้สึกบันเทิงในการติดตามมาก ผู้อ่านหลายๆคนจะเกลียดนางเอกที่ปฏิเสธพระเอกอย่างไม่ไยดี แต่ก็ย้อนแย้งในตัวเองคอยหึงหวงอีกฝ่าย แต่ถ้าอ่านด้วยใจที่เป็นกลางก็จะแอบเห็นใจนางเอกอยู่เหมือนกัน สรุปแล้วเรื่องนี้เป็นรอมคอมที่มีแนวโน้มจะเป็นนิยายสนุกอีกเรื่อง แต่ก็ต้องติดตามเล่มต่อๆไปว่ายังจะสนุกแบบนี้อยู่ไหม
ปล.อนิเมะตัดค่อนข้างเยอะ ใครงงๆหรือรู้สึกว่ามันไปไม่สุด แนะนำให้อ่านนิยายเอาดีงามกว่าครับ

¡Hola, bibliotecarias!
No podía esperar más para hablaros de una light novel (o novela ligera) que me ha enamorado.
Una historia que, aunque puede parecer que peca de tener algunos clichés habituales, consigue darle una vuelta de tuerca que hace que sea bastante interesante.
Por un lado tenemos a Aika, compañera de clase de Wataru, quién es una belleza. Suele ser fría con él y jamás le hace caso en ninguna de sus proposiciones para que sean novios.
Por otro, está Wataru. Un joven que, de buenas a primeras, llega a la conclusión de que es el momento adecuado para dejar de ser tan insistente con Aika y comienza a comportarse de una manera mucho más correcta y formal.
Este repentino cambio de comportamiento hará que la mente y el corazón de Aika se conviertan en un verdadero laberinto.
Una historia llena de momentos divertidos, muchos personajes secundarios que se harán con un huequito propio y un montón de malentendidos que te sacaran una carcajada.
A lo largo de sus páginas veremos también algunas ilustraciones, con un dibujo precioso, que hará que sea aún más fácil poder empatizar con ellos.
Os la recomiendo muchísimo ❤️

¡Cómo me lo he pasado! Con una narración muy íntima, loca y con un lenguaje especialmente llano, te metes rápidamente en la cabeza de este prota tan peculiar. Con sus continuos comentarios hilarantes, te arranca la sonrisa a la menor ocasión.
Esperando la siguiente entrega.

Que bien que hallé el apartado de esta novela ligera. A pesar de no leer una versión oficial, disfruté mucho la historia de un grupo de traducción en Facebook.
