When I Started Working as a Part-Time Housekeeper, I Ended Up Being Liked by the Family of the Most Beautiful Girl in the School Chapter 15 Discussion

I really like this novel, because of its simplicity, not trying to be over-the-top drama, or making some unrealistic characters, so the reader could self-insert or something, because this alienated otaku with an inferiority complex, who is kinda nice to other people "is literally me".

The story is about a boy, raised by his grandma because his parents died in a car accident. You could think that it would try to make you pity MC because he is so lonely because of that - but that's not the case at all. Yes, he doesn't have parents, but that doesn't mean he has to be some sad and lonely boy. Since his grandma is raising him with a lot of affection, he has a pretty normal, yet a bit poor financially-wise, upbringing. His grandma really put emphasis on teaching him all kinds of housework, so he could do well in life, so MC decided to get a part-time job as a housekeeper during his summer break since he wanted to save a bit of money for college. Just a pretty normal guy, from a normal, loving family.

FMC comes from a well of family. Both of her parents are CEOs of their companies, so sometimes they have to go on a business trip for a few days. And again - people, who've read a bit of novels etc. Could expect that the girl is lonely because her parents don't have a lot of time for her or something like that. And again - those people would be wrong. Her parents really care about her and her little brother, they try to spend as much time as possible with them and overall this is a perfectly healthy loving family.

As you probably know from the synopsis of this work, MC starts working as a housekeeper for FMC, and they slowly fall in love. But if I'm being honest, I think the plot is not that important. What's important for me is how this novel doesn't expect me to believe in some BS like characters falling for each other for no reason whatsoever, doesn't bombard me with some trauma dumping from oh-so-ever unhappy protagonists, trying to be over-the-top with its characters, or just make those characters unreasonable to begin with.

I find it really enjoyable, because of its simplicity and not commencing in some over-the-top unreasonable and just dumb BS. Characters are really likable, they have their own cares and worries, but those are not overwhelming to the reader, so we can just focus on a really cute high school love story, between a smart, yet poor boy and just a cute girl from a wealthy family.
