I Thought It Was a Common Transmigration Novel Review

My Thoughts on I Thought It Was a Common Transmigration

"I Thought It Was a Common Transmigration" seemed like it would be another run-of-the-mill villainess reincarnation story, but I found myself surprisingly invested. It definitely has its flaws, but there's something captivating about Edith's journey, even amidst the darkness.

First Impressions

Initially, I was drawn in by the premise: a protagonist transmigrating into a novel as a character with a tragic fate, determined to change her destiny. This isn't a groundbreaking concept, but the early chapters hooked me. Edith's initial attempts to stand up for herself, challenging the toxic dynamics of her new family, were refreshing.

What Works Well

Many readers praised the character of Edith, and I agree. She's not an overpowered Mary Sue, but a resilient woman facing constant adversity. I appreciated that she wasn't afraid to call out the people mistreating her. I also enjoyed the slow-burn romance between Edith and Killian. It was satisfying to watch him slowly realize her true nature.

Areas of Concern

However, I did find some aspects problematic. Several readers mentioned issues with the male lead, Killian. While some found his character development compelling, others felt his initial behavior was unforgivable and that the female lead forgave him way too easily. I also understand the frustration with the ending, particularly the lack of consequences for certain characters. The original female lead, Lize, in particular, seemed to get off too easy.

Final Verdict

Overall, "I Thought It Was a Common Transmigration" is an entertaining read, even though it's not without its flaws. If you're looking for a dark fantasy romance with a strong female lead, this might be worth checking out. Just be prepared for some frustrating character dynamics and a potentially unsatisfying ending. Despite the issues, I found myself engrossed in Edith's journey and ultimately enjoyed the experience.
