Description
I met the male lead in prison. Okay. I get that I transmigrated into an R-19 tragic romantic novel, but why is he like this? “Bark! Bark! Bark! Grrrrrr…” I can’t believe this guy is held by a curse that makes him act like a beast…And that’s not the end of it, because when he returns to normal for a moment. “I-i-if you aren’t g-going to take responsibility for what you did to me, th-th-then don’t t-touch me!” At any rate, I felt relieved that I probably wouldn’t have any sort of romantic interactions with this guy. A year later… “Th-th-the day I leave this place, please…m-meet up with me!” Well it wouldn’t be a big deal to meet him once. But, then, when I was released from prison… *** “Welcome back. My lovely younger sister.” The day of my release, a man approached me. Turns out, I’m the villain’s sister. “You must have suffered going to prison in my stead. I waited only for you.” …F*ck. My brother’s the male lead’s sworn enemy? *** 3 years later, I met the male lead. He looked totally different than when I last saw him. “It’s been a while, Iana. I’m going to kidnap you now.”

My Thoughts on I Met the Male Lead in Prison
"I Met the Male Lead in Prison" presents a unique premise: a reincarnation story set within the confines of a jail. It's this unusual setting that initially drew me in, and I can see why many others were intrigued as well. However, after delving into the available chapters, I find myself with mixed feelings about the overall execution.
First Impressions
The initial chapters are certainly captivating. The idea of a protagonist transmigrating into a prison cell is novel, and I appreciated the author's attempt to create a Beauty and the Beast dynamic within this setting. The female lead, Iana, is presented as a curious and relatively calm character, which I found appealing. I was eager to see how she would navigate her strange new reality and interact with the mysterious male lead.
What Works Well
I particularly enjoyed the interactions between Iana and the male lead, Ric. There's a certain charm in their developing relationship, especially as Ric has multiple distinct personalities. Many readers have praised the "fluffy" and "cute" scenes between them, and I can see why. The story shines when focusing on these character-driven moments. Additionally, the world-building hints at a larger conspiracy and family secrets, which I found intriguing and wanted to know more about.
Areas of Concern
However, my biggest concern revolves around the pacing. The story progresses at a snail's pace, and I can understand why some readers found it frustrating. The female lead remains in prison for a very long time, and the plot seems to loop around the same scenarios without significant development. Some have mentioned that by chapter 70, the story still revolves around the FL's daily prison routine, which can become repetitive. The slow pace makes it difficult to maintain interest, especially as the initial mysteries remain largely unsolved.

Final Verdict
"I Met the Male Lead in Prison" has an intriguing premise and moments of genuine charm. However, the glacial pace and repetitive plot may test your patience. If you enjoy character-driven slice-of-life stories and don't mind a slow burn, this might be worth a try. However, if you prefer fast-paced plots and clear progression, this novel might not be for you. Ultimately, your enjoyment will likely depend on your tolerance for slow development and your appreciation for the characters' interactions.
