- I Was a Supporting Character

Description
Bianca was named the flower of high society. She lived in splendor, proudly as the Countess. One day, a woman who claimed to be the ‘author’ approached her. She revealed that the world they lived in right now was a novel, and Bianca was one of the supporting characters. She was a villainess who died because she harassed the heroine. The ‘author’ said she was the one who made Bianca fall for Ares, the male lead, at first sight at his social debut party two years ago. She thought her love for Ares was sincere, however… …was everything fake? Her whole life was defined by mere ink on papers…. The female protagonist was the center of the world. All the significant plot lines would eventually happen. Bianca’s death was one of them, thus the ‘author’ told her that she was destined to die. Bianca was determined to not interfere with the love of the male and female protagonist even with her role as a villain. Alas… her unrequited love as well as the male lead of the novel, Ares, approached her. And unexpectedly, he confessed, not to the heroine in the novel, but to her… Bianca, who was destined to die anyway, and Ares, who would eventually become the man of the female lead. Could the two possibly achieve love by overcoming the original novel’s storyline and ending?

My Thoughts on I Was a Supporting Character
"I Was a Supporting Character" plunges you into the life of a woman who discovers she's not living her own story, but rather playing a pre-determined role in a novel. It's a premise ripe with potential, and the initial chapters certainly grabbed my attention. The blend of fantasy, romance, and a touch of drama, all set against a European-esque aristocratic backdrop, creates a compelling world.
First Impressions
The concept itself is fascinating – a villainess grappling with the knowledge of her impending doom and striving to break free from the author's narrative. I immediately found myself drawn to the idea of a character fighting against their pre-scripted fate. There's something inherently appealing about watching someone defy expectations and forge their own path.
What Works Well
The novel shines in its exploration of the protagonist's internal struggles. She's not a cardboard cutout villain; she's a nuanced character forced into a role she doesn't want. I found her attempts to navigate the treacherous social landscape and avoid the pre-ordained tragic ending genuinely engaging. The slow burn romance also adds a layer of intrigue, making me eager to see if she can rewrite her love life as well as her destiny.
Areas of Concern
While the premise is strong, I did find the execution a bit uneven at times. The pacing occasionally felt off, and some scenes lacked the necessary context to fully immerse me in the world. I also felt that the author character, while intended to be unlikeable, sometimes crossed the line into being grating. Their interactions with the protagonist, while driving the plot forward, occasionally felt more like a vehicle for the author's own ego than a genuine exploration of the character's plight.

Final Verdict
Overall, "I Was a Supporting Character" is a promising read with a captivating premise. While it has some flaws in its execution, the compelling protagonist and the intriguing world are enough to keep me invested. I'm eager to see how the story unfolds and whether the protagonist can truly break free from the author's predetermined fate. I'd recommend giving it a try if you enjoy stories about self-aware characters, second chances, and a healthy dose of aristocratic intrigue.
