Tied to You, Vol. 1 by Chelliace, WHAT

3.0

This is only an okay manga for me. For anyone who reads zero fanfiction, all of the story tropes likely feel fresh and interesting. But if you've read any sort of fanfic, literally all of the main story is based on tired tropes. Red String of Fate, Forced Proximity, Soul Mates, Love Triangle, Mutal Pining, I can go on. This story is pretty cute, I won't lie. If stuff like the tropes I listed is the type of story you enjoy, then this story would be perfect for you. Otherwise, this story isn't really much to write home about. It's the same as every other story I've read that was in a similar story vein. I can't really connect well to the characters, because they're very trope-based, so they feel a little bit hollow to me.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review!
