My Thoughts on I Was a Woman but now I’m the Main Hero.
First Impressions
"I Was a Woman but now I’m the Main Hero" is a whirlwind of fantasy tropes and gender-bending fun. The premise alone grabbed my attention, and I dove in expecting a unique take on the isekai genre. While it delivered on some fronts, I found myself a bit disoriented at times, like navigating a maze with shifting walls. It's a short read, which is both a blessing and a curse.
What Works Well
The early romance aspect is definitely a highlight. The "love interest falls in love first" trope is executed well enough to keep me invested. The initial setup, with the MC as a crown prince trying to salvage his engagement, is intriguing. I also appreciate that the translation seems to be well done, which made the reading experience smoother. The short length of the story, despite its drawbacks, does mean it's a quick and easy read if you're looking for something to pass the time.
Areas of Concern
Honestly, the plot felt convoluted. There's a lot happening in a very short space, and it sometimes feels like the author is throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks. The world-building also felt a bit underdeveloped; I wasn't entirely sure of the rules or the stakes. I struggled to keep track of the characters, especially with names that felt too similar. The writing style itself can be a bit messy, making it difficult to fully immerse myself in the story. This resulted in me having to skim certain sections, which detracted from the overall experience.

Final Verdict
"I Was a Woman but now I’m the Main Hero" is a mixed bag. It has moments of genuine charm and an interesting premise, but it's bogged down by a confusing plot and underdeveloped world-building. If you're looking for a quick, trope-filled read and don't mind a bit of confusion, it might be worth checking out. However, if you prefer a more polished and coherent story, you might want to give this one a pass. I'd give it a cautious 3 out of 5 stars.
