My Thoughts on I Reincarnated as a White Pig Noble’s Daughter from a Shoujo Manga

Okay, let's dive into "I Reincarnated as a White Pig Noble’s Daughter from a Shoujo Manga." This one's been quite a ride, and honestly, my feelings are a bit mixed. It's definitely a novel that sparks strong opinions, and I can see why.

First Impressions

Initially, I was drawn in by the premise. A reincarnation story with a focus on self-improvement? Sign me up! The idea of a protagonist working to overcome her circumstances in a shoujo manga world had potential. However, I quickly noticed the… divisive reactions surrounding the main character's initial self-loathing regarding her weight.

What Works Well

Despite the initial concerns, I found myself enjoying certain aspects. The crafting elements are a definite highlight. The MC's inventive streak, creating beauty products and finding ways to improve her situation, was genuinely engaging. It reminded me of "Duke's Daughter," with a focus on practical skills and problem-solving. I also appreciated the slow-burn romance and the fact that the love interests weren't instantly smitten. It felt more realistic and allowed for character development. The author seems to be more focused on the MC being a side character.

Areas of Concern

Now, let's address the elephant in the room: the weight issue. I can understand why some readers were put off by the protagonist's harsh self-criticism and, at times, seemingly internalized fat-shaming. It's a sensitive topic, and the execution can be problematic. While some argue it's a necessary motivator for her self-improvement journey, others found it repetitive and even offensive.

Also, there's a sentiment that the characters can feel shallow, and the MC can be weak-willed and contradictory. The constant back and forth can be frustrating, making it hard to connect with her. I also saw a few comments about the plot being dull and the writing being awkward.

Final Verdict

"I Reincarnated as a White Pig Noble’s Daughter from a Shoujo Manga" is a flawed but potentially enjoyable read. If you're willing to overlook the problematic elements and focus on the crafting aspects, slow-burn romance, and character development, you might find something to enjoy. However, if you're sensitive to fat-shaming or prefer strong, decisive protagonists, this might not be the novel for you. I'd say approach with caution and see if it clicks with your personal preferences.
