Description

Previously, Jian Yiling was the supporting character who was destined to be cannon fodder. However now, with the memories of future events, Jian Yiling who had crossed into the novel transformed into a hidden big shot. Not only is Jian Yiling not interested in the male protagonist, but she also leaves the people around her in astonishment and bewilderment. Originally, her brothers hated her. Now, they were all fiercely protective of her. “Yiling gets frightened easily. Don’t scare her.” “Yiling hasn’t been to distant places. Don’t scam her.” “Yiling has a weak body. Don’t bully her.” Everyone else wanted to cry in disbelief. Are you sure that she is cute and easily bullied? Who dares to bully her! When they all thought that the Jian brothers were enough to deal with, there was another one that topped the rest. Master Sheng: “Yiling is very delicate. She shouldn’t be angered. If you make her angry, I’ll cut you up and make you into a broth!” Everyone else: “Master Sheng, I think there’s something wrong with your eyes! I recommend you to go to the ophthalmologist!”

My Thoughts on From Sidekick to Bigshot

"From Sidekick to Bigshot" is quite the ride, clocking in at over 1400 chapters! It's a story that blends drama, romance, and slice-of-life elements, centering around a protagonist who finds herself in a new life with a complex family. Overall, I found it to be an enjoyable, albeit flawed, read.

First Impressions

Initially, I was drawn in by the premise of a reincarnated/transmigrated MC trying to navigate a second chance at life, especially with the promise of doting family members. The early chapters set the stage well, hinting at past conflicts and future possibilities. The idea of an OP MC is always fun, and I was curious to see how Jian Yiling would use her knowledge and skills.

What Works Well

The familial love in this story is definitely a highlight. The MC's relationships with her brothers and cousins are heartwarming, and it's satisfying to see them overcome past misunderstandings. Jian Yiling herself is an interesting character. She's portrayed as having a high IQ but low EQ, which makes her interactions both endearing and sometimes frustrating. I also appreciated that the villains weren't always one-dimensional; they often had understandable motives, adding depth to the overall narrative. The male lead is also a plus, he is said to be very doting to the female lead.

Areas of Concern

Despite its strengths, the novel does have its weaknesses. The sheer length can be a drag, and the plot can become repetitive, falling into a cycle of misunderstandings and face-slapping. Some found the antagonists to become cartoonishly incompetent, and the "Mary Sue" qualities of both the FL and ML could be a bit much at times. Also, the story seems to drag on after chapter 1000, adding unnecessary conflicts and issues.

Final Verdict

"From Sidekick to Bigshot" is a decent read if you're looking for a long, wish-fulfillment story with a focus on family and romance. However, be prepared for some repetitive plotlines and potentially frustrating character traits. I'd recommend it with the caveat that it's best enjoyed as a light, easy read, and that you might want to skim through some of the later chapters. I'd give it a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars.
