I Returned as a High School Girl Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator
My Thoughts on I Returned as a High School Girl
"I Returned as a High School Girl" is definitely a unique entry in the gender bender genre, mixing in elements of revenge, time travel, and the cutthroat world of entertainment. The premise alone grabbed my attention: a man reincarnated as a stunning high school girl, armed with memories of the future and a burning desire for vengeance.
First Impressions
Initially, I was hooked. The idea of Park Geonwoo, now Kang Raeun, navigating high school life while plotting against his killer, Kim Hangyo, felt fresh. The early chapters were engaging, and I found myself eager to see how Raeun would use her knowledge to climb the ladder. However, as I delved deeper, the initial excitement began to wane.
What Works Well
The novel truly shines when it focuses on Raeun's journey in the entertainment industry. Watching her build a successful acting career and establish her business empire is entertaining. Raeun's charisma and drive are undeniable, making her a compelling protagonist, even if she is a bit dense and prideful. The author does a good job of portraying the complexities of the entertainment world.
Areas of Concern
While the revenge plot is central to the story, I found it less compelling than Raeun's professional life. The political aspects felt superficial, and Raeun's constant compromises in her personal life to achieve revenge didn't always resonate with me. Also, the pacing slows down considerably as the story progresses, adopting a more slice-of-life tone that can be a bit of a drag. I also found some of the side characters to be underdeveloped, and the introduction of multiple suitors felt somewhat forced.

Final Verdict
Overall, "I Returned as a High School Girl" is a fun, light-hearted read, especially if you enjoy gender bender stories with a focus on the entertainment industry. While the revenge plot and some character developments could have been stronger, the novel offers a unique and entertaining experience. It’s not perfect, but it's a worthwhile read if you're looking for something a little different.
