Her Kindergarten is Full of Villainous Students

My Thoughts on Her Kindergarten is Full of Villainous Students

"Her Kindergarten is Full of Villainous Students" had me intrigued from the synopsis. The idea of rescuing and reforming future villains in a kindergarten setting seemed like a unique and potentially heartwarming premise. While the story does have its strengths, it also has some noticeable flaws that held it back from reaching its full potential, at least for me.

First Impressions

Initially, I was drawn in by the story's cute and fast-paced beginning. The MC seemed proactive, and the concept of a kindergarten full of children destined to become villains was quite captivating. I was eager to see how the Starry Sky Kindergarten would develop and how the MC would change the fates of these children.

What Works Well

I found the slice-of-life elements to be quite enjoyable. The story shines when it focuses on the development of the kindergarten and its staff. I particularly liked the side characters, who are well-developed and have distinct personalities. Chef Liu, with his caring grandpa vibe, and Dr. Lu, the gossip-loving foodie, were definite highlights. The novel creates a wholesome atmosphere, especially when showcasing the good-hearted nature of the staff. The events the MC puts on also brought a lot of joy, constantly shocking the country.

Areas of Concern

However, as I continued reading, I couldn't help but notice some recurring issues. The focus shifted away from the "villainous students" and more towards the business aspects of the kindergarten. I personally found this less engaging. The MC's seemingly effortless success and "OP" abilities made the story feel somewhat bland, lacking the tension and growth I typically look for in a novel. There was also a noted lack of logic in some scenarios, which made it hard for me to fully immerse myself in the world. The romance felt a bit forced, and the male lead didn't leave a lasting impression on me.

Final Verdict

Overall, "Her Kindergarten is Full of Villainous Students" is a lighthearted and easy read that can be enjoyable if you're looking for a brainless slice-of-life story. However, if you're expecting a deep and complex narrative with a strong focus on the villainous children and their rehabilitation, you might be disappointed. It leans heavily into the "OP MC" trope, which can be both satisfying and monotonous. While it has its moments of charm, the lack of depth and logical consistency ultimately held it back from being a truly memorable read for me. I'd rate it a solid 3 out of 5 stars.
