Skip it. This premise relies on tired romantic-comedy tropes—the pining best friend, the meet-cute orchestrated by the protagonist, the inevitable emotional fallout—and there's nothing here suggesting it brings fresh energy to the formula. Without critical validation or a reputation for reinventing the wheel, it's a safe pass.

Plot

RR has always been in love with his best friend, Janine. But she's infatuated with Kenzo, the star of her own fan fiction. When he finds a way for Janine to meet Kenzo, will he risk his own happiness just for her to have her own happiness?
