Description
I found myself transmigrated into an R-19 romance fantasy novel, where the male lead’s overwhelming charm stood out. It was a story about two protagonists, who grew up in completely opposite environments, falling for each other so deeply that day and night blurred together. I was just an older sister figure who briefly appeared during the male lead, Rian’s, childhood. Our parents were acquaintances, so we met a few times, but after that, we had no further connection. In the novel, my existence was so insignificant that even my life or death was unknown. I had no intention of interfering with the original storyline, but the moment I saw Rian smile at me, I made up my mind. I wanted to help Rian in any way I could so that he would never lose that smile. To slightly alter the original story, I tried to prevent Rian’s family from being embroiled in a rebellion. However, all my efforts were in vain, and in the end, Rian’s family fell to ruin, just as the original story dictated. *** Ten years later, I reunited with Rian. The beautiful boy I once knew had grown into a man far more handsome than I had ever imagined. “I think I’m going to get married soon.” “Really? Congratulations.” At the mention of marriage, Rian smiled brightly and congratulated me on my upcoming wedding. However, a few days later, the man I was supposed to marry suffered a major accident and broke off the engagement. My next fiancé also met with an accident, and the one after that ran away due to gambling debts, leading to yet another broken engagement. As a result, rumors spread throughout society that marrying me would lead to death or injury. No one wanted to marry me. Amidst all this, the one who reached out his hand to me was none other than Rian. t/n: side stories are R19

My Thoughts on I Just Wanted to be the Older Sister that the Male lead Knows
Alright, let's dive into "I Just Wanted to be the Older Sister that the Male Lead Knows." This one's a bit of a mixed bag, and my feelings are definitely complicated. It's a story that tries to walk a familiar path – reincarnation as an extra, childhood connection with the male lead, and the inevitable obsessive love – but whether it succeeds is up for debate.
First Impressions
Initially, the premise is intriguing enough. A protagonist trying to navigate a pre-written narrative, aiming to simply be a supportive figure without disrupting the original storyline? I've seen it before, but the execution is key. The European ambience and the promise of schemes and conspiracies definitely piqued my interest, setting the stage for a potentially captivating read.
What Works Well
The main draw, for me, is the portrayal of the male lead's obsession. If you're a fan of the "black-bellied" type, this might be your cup of tea. The story delves into the reasons behind the female lead's attempts to distance herself. The narrative explores how her attempts to fix things actually made it worse, leading to her decision to not interfere with the novel's original plot. This kind of cause-and-effect adds a layer of depth.
Areas of Concern
However, I can see why some readers might find it lacking. The female lead's characterization seems to be a point of contention. Some might find her actions contradictory or her personality somewhat bland. The plot might feel repetitive to those familiar with the genre. The complaint that it is a similar story to another novel with a different title is of concern, but I can't confirm that myself.

Final Verdict
Overall, "I Just Wanted to be the Older Sister that the Male Lead Knows" is a novel with potential, but it's not without its flaws. If you're specifically looking for a story with a possessive, yandere male lead and are willing to overlook some potentially repetitive tropes, you might enjoy it. However, if you're seeking groundbreaking originality and flawlessly consistent character development, this might not be the novel for you. I'd recommend giving it a try if the blurb interests you, but be prepared for a potentially uneven reading experience.
