Every World Seems Not Quite Right (Quick Transmigration)

My Thoughts on Every World Seems Not Quite Right (Quick Transmigration)

This web novel is definitely a mixed bag, and diving into it was quite the experience. With its quick transmigration setup, comedy, fantasy, romance, and yaoi elements, it promised a wild ride. And wild it was, though not always in the best way.

First Impressions

Okay, I'm going to be honest; the first arc almost made me drop this one completely. Several readers mentioned the problematic nature of the Male Lead (ML) in the initial world, and I have to agree. The possessive, borderline-abusive behavior was a major turn-off, and it made it difficult to connect with the romance. It felt forced and uncomfortable, and it left a bad taste in my mouth.

What Works Well

Despite the rocky start, I persevered, and I'm glad I did. Later arcs definitely show improvement. Many readers praised the humor, especially the internal monologues of the Main Character (MC) and the way the author pokes fun at typical tropes. The fourth arc, in particular, seems to be a favorite, with the MC as a child emperor and the ML as his regent. I also appreciate the episodic nature of the story. Each world offers a fresh setting and new challenges, which keeps things interesting.

Areas of Concern

Besides the first arc, a recurring concern is the inconsistent plot development in some of the worlds. Some readers pointed out that the initial premise of hindering the female lead for energy disappears later on, and the focus shifts more to the relationship between the MC and ML. While I enjoy their interactions, I do feel like the world-building could be stronger in some arcs.

Final Verdict

"Every World Seems Not Quite Right" is a flawed but ultimately enjoyable read, if you can stomach the initial arc. If you're sensitive to non-con elements or yandere behavior, I'd recommend skipping the first world entirely. Once you get past that hurdle, the story improves significantly, offering humor, fluff, and more compelling character interactions. It's not a masterpiece, but it's a fun and engaging quick transmigration novel that's worth checking out, with the caveat that your mileage may vary depending on your tolerance for certain tropes.
