Description

On the first day of the New Year’s party, Mayerie realizes that she is an extra villain in the novel. ‘What was so important about the novel? I should’ve read it.’ Mayerie tried not to get involved with the original for a smooth life. But unintentionally, she discovered a huge secret that was not explained in the novel! “Ah… I thought there were no people because the curtain wasn’t down.” With this foolish prince, Grandiel. “I didn’t know much about the directions here. I suddenly ended up coming here.” Nephendes, the most popular second male lead in the story, are they the same person? ° ° ° ° ° “Miss Mayerie, you haven’t forgotten your promise not to talk to Ellex, right?” Grandiel bent his eyes and laughed harshly. (No way, are you jealous…?) He’s just afraid I’ll tell the original male lead who he really is. “Wasn’t I the one you followed because you liked me? Why are you with the Crown Prince?” No, Ellex, what’s wrong with you again? You told me not to follow you around, but what are you saying now? “Everyone is mistaken about something. Merie is my exclusive maid. So get out of here.” Besides, why does the original villainess like me so much? The original story was about the characters of the novel who want to run away from each other, but things keep on getting twisted. Something’s really wrong!

I Mistook the Hidden Identity of the Sub Male Lead Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator

My Thoughts on I Mistook the Hidden Identity of the Sub Male Lead

I've been diving into "I Mistook the Hidden Identity of the Sub Male Lead," and it's been quite the rollercoaster! The premise alone grabbed my attention: a protagonist who suddenly finds herself in the body of a minor villainess in a fantasy romance novel. It's a recipe for either hilarious chaos or frustrating plot derailment, and so far, it seems to be leaning towards the former, which I find extremely enjoyable.

First Impressions

My first impression was definitely positive. Mayerie, our MC, is trying her best to navigate this bizarre new reality. I appreciate that she's not immediately perfect or all-knowing. She stumbles, she winces at the original character's past behavior, and she genuinely tries to make the best of a strange situation. This relatability made it easy for me to root for her from the start.

What Works Well

The world-building is subtly done, which I appreciate. We're not bombarded with information dumps; instead, we learn about the world organically through Mayerie's experiences. The plot takes some unexpected turns, and I'm particularly intrigued by the Crown Prince. He seems to be manipulating events from the shadows, and his interactions with Mayerie are full of tension and mystery. The author does a great job of making me question his motives and wonder what he's really up to. The story also does a great job of making the readers think the MC will get the story back on track, but she makes mistakes along the way and changes the plot in ways she doesn't expect.

Areas of Concern

⚠️ Spoiler Warning: ⚠️

While I'm enjoying the story overall, I can understand some of the criticism regarding the Duke's ending. It sounds like his character arc is tragic, and some readers might find it unsatisfying, especially if they empathize with him. It sounds like the original story gets derailed and his chance at happiness is ruined by the FL.

Final Verdict

Despite some potential reservations about the ending, I'm still thoroughly enjoying "I Mistook the Hidden Identity of the Sub Male Lead." The engaging plot, relatable protagonist, and intriguing mysteries make it a worthwhile read. If you're looking for a fantasy romance with a twist and don't mind a potentially bittersweet ending for some characters, I'd recommend giving this novel a try.
