Review of The Maid I Hired Recently Is Mysterious

What would have been a trashy ecchi anime in any other universe, turns out to be anime romance novel. What I thought would be trashy coomer bait seems to be more targeted towards girls. It became quickly apparent to me that it was written by a woman during my viewing. This is because the show follows a general pattern of "thing happens" -> "MC compliments the maid as a result of the thing". The male MC basically just exists to compliment and make the female lead feel desired, which is what tipped me off to it being written by a woman. It's unapologetic whish fulfillment andromance.

That's not a critique perce, but I would have enjoyed the show more if I was into that kind of stuff.

I do have my criticizms however, mainly that it's too repetitive and lacks stakes. The aforemention pattern isn't varied enough and comes of as vacuous. The show is generally devoid of any interesting conflict, which can be a good thing if you are looking for something light-hearted, but it makes the show samey as well.

I was relieved when I finally finnished it, but that might just be because I don't enjoy those kinds of stories. This anime is equivilant to one of those romance novels that your aunt/grandma reads voraciously and has enormous collection of. Its no coincidence that one of the characters is infatuated with the relationship between the two MCs, loves gossip and reads lots of romance novels.

If you are the type that enjoys those kinds of stories, you have probably already seen it.
