Description

I was possessed by a romance fantasy novel. As an extra whose name doesn’t even appear. This is the Extra Possession! ‘I have become the main character in the novel!’ After a quick realization, I enjoyed the life of the main character and became close to the Male Lead, Sub-Male Lead, and the Mastermind in the novel. Everyone seems to like me, but I wasn’t sure who was going to be my male lead. So I asked outright. “Luci, do you like me?” “Why did you make such a mistake?” Luci asked, seeming to find it absurd. The Male Lead in the novel seems to be not my male lead. “Harrison, do you like me?” “I don’t mean to say things like that.” Harrison said sternly. …It seems that the Sub-Male Lead in the novel is also not my male lead. “Damian, do you like me?” “Do you want me to like you? Would you like it?” Damian asked, raising one corner of his mouth. She didn’t know that she would even be ridiculed. Even the Mastermind in the novel was not my man… I was really an extra. Why did I realize it now? It was futile, but I was glad that I came to my senses even though it was late. Now I have to find my husband to fit my fraction. “I want to go back and find my husband.” I told my three friends who didn’t like me that I was leaving. “What, are you looking for a bridegroom?” “This is really unexpected.” “What….” Anyone who sees it would know that all three of them liked me. But now I know is not like that. ‘Hey, who knows who else will be fooled?’ I will no longer be mistaken for their actions. “I’m busy, bye!”

My Thoughts on I Thought I Was The Main Character

I dove into "I Thought I Was The Main Character" with high hopes, intrigued by its premise of a protagonist transmigrating into a romance fantasy novel and hilariously believing she's the main character. It's a fun concept, and for a while, it really delivered on that promise.

First Impressions

Initially, I was charmed by the MC's perceived "chuunibyou" attitude and her determination, even if she's a bit misguided. The story sucked me in with its European ambience and the promise of a lighthearted romance. The early chapters did a great job of setting up the world and the potential love interests, even if the timeline jumps around a bit.

What Works Well

The biggest strength of this novel, for me, is the MC's growth. She starts off with this naive, game-like perspective, but slowly begins to realize the world is more complex than she initially thought. I appreciated that she wasn't just treating everyone as NPCs, and that she genuinely tried to connect with the people around her. Her interactions, especially as a child, felt authentic and endearing. I also liked the slow-burn romance. The fact that the male leads' favorability isn't immediately romantic adds a layer of realism and intrigue.

Areas of Concern

However, as I progressed, some cracks started to appear. I can see why some readers might feel misled by the synopsis. The "main" plot, where she actually starts pursuing the love interests, seems to take a long time to get to, with a significant portion of the story dedicated to character development and world-building beforehand.

Final Verdict

"I Thought I Was The Main Character" has a lot of potential and starts off strong with a fun premise and a relatable protagonist. However, the pacing issues and the potentially unsatisfying ending are significant drawbacks. If you're willing to invest in a slow-burn story focused on character development, you might enjoy it. But be warned, the payoff might not be what you expect.
