I Become The Wife of The Male Lead Novel Review

My Thoughts on I Become The Wife of The Male Lead

This novel presents a fascinating premise: an author transmigrates into her own creation, becoming the wife of the male lead. With elements of adventure, drama, and a dash of romance, I dove in eager to see how it all played out.

First Impressions

Initially, I was drawn in by the potential for a meta narrative. The idea of an author grappling with the consequences of her own world-building seemed ripe for exploration. The early chapters introduce us to a strong and independent female lead, which definitely piqued my interest.

What Works Well

The concept of the FL having a "god complex" due to being the original author is compelling. I found the exploration of her mindset—her feeling both responsible for and detached from the characters she created—to be a particularly unique take on the isekai trope. It adds a layer of psychological depth that elevates the story beyond typical genre fare. I appreciated the focus on the original soul of the body the FL inhabits, which is something that is often overlooked in similar isekai stories. The story also doesn't shy away from action and angst, which keeps the plot moving at a good pace.

Areas of Concern

While the premise is intriguing, I can see how the execution might not appeal to everyone. Some found the FL's character inconsistent, particularly her supposed brilliance as an author clashing with her sometimes clueless actions within the story. I do think the slow-burn romance might frustrate some readers, especially given the title.

Final Verdict

I Become The Wife of The Male Lead is a novel with a lot of potential, particularly if you're looking for a unique spin on the isekai genre. While it might not be perfect, and certain aspects like the FL's denseness or the slow romance might not appeal to all readers, the exploration of the author's mindset and the consequences of her actions within her own creation make it a worthwhile read for those seeking something a bit different.
