Don’t Be Obsessed With An Extra

My Thoughts on Don’t Be Obsessed With An Extra

"Don’t Be Obsessed With An Extra" certainly throws you into the deep end! With its reincarnation premise and a dash of dark humor, it promises a wild ride through palace politics and unexpected romance. I went in expecting a typical fluffy isekai, but I found something with a bit more bite.

First Impressions

The initial setup is pretty intriguing. Our female lead, after a rather unfortunate truck accident, finds herself reborn as a minor character destined for a tragic end. This immediately sets the stage for a classic "trying to avoid my doom" scenario, but with the added twist of navigating the affections of an Emperor who might be a bit… intense. The early romance aspect is definitely there, but it sounds like the actual "getting together" part will be a slow burn, which I personally appreciate.

What Works Well

The FL’s character seems to be a major draw. She's described as confident and clever, and it sounds like she doesn't back down easily, even when faced with scheming villainesses or possessive emperors. Her initial interactions, like obliterating the villainess' maids with self-defense skills, definitely paint her as someone who’s not to be trifled with. The plot itself is packed with events, from poisonings to hunting competitions to kidnappings, ensuring that there's never a dull moment. I also appreciate that the author seems to be building a complex world with its own rules and power dynamics.

Final Verdict

Overall, "Don’t Be Obsessed With An Extra" seems like a novel with a lot of potential. If you're looking for a story with a strong female lead, a complex plot, and a romance that's earned rather than instant, this might be right up your alley. While the story seems to have a lot going on, it could be exactly what readers are looking for. It's a solid read that's worth checking out if you're a fan of the genre.
