Description

Others usually appeared as human when they possessed a book, but I… possessed a doll. It was also the favorite doll of the tyrant, whose head was sent flying by the male lead. ‘I’ve already died once. I don’t want to die again!’ To survive, I must reform the tyrant. To do that, I first need to move my body… What? Oh, it’s moving? “Are you really Chloe? No, who are you?” The young emperor of the Burgundy Empire, a tyrant fated to die, stood before me. My goal? Reclaim my body while reforming him! * * * Her hair wasn’t black. Instead, it was golden—shiny and bright, just like the doll’s. Standing frozen in shock, Declan asked again, his voice trembling. “Chloe… Is it really you? But why do you look like a doll?” Ever since the doll had moved its hand, he had hoped that Chloe might be inside it. Now, with a translucent figure resembling the doll standing before him, his hope grew. Because in the end, people believed what they wanted to believe. “I’m not the princess.” His eyes shook greatly at the firm response.

My Thoughts on I’m A Doll, But The Tyrant Is Obsessed With Me

"I'm A Doll, But The Tyrant Is Obsessed With Me" offered a unique premise I couldn't resist. Transmigration stories are a dime a dozen, but one where the protagonist becomes a doll? Color me intrigued! After diving in, I found myself agreeing with the many readers who found this novel a refreshing departure from the usual isekai fare.

First Impressions

The initial chapters immediately hooked me with the sheer weirdness of the situation. Our MC, now inhabiting a porcelain doll belonging to the emperor's deceased sister, is mostly an observer. Declan, the mentally troubled emperor, is a compelling character study himself, shaped by grief and the constant threat of assassination. I was immediately invested in understanding both him and the mystery surrounding the MC's presence.

What Works Well

The dynamic between the MC and Declan is undoubtedly the heart of this story. Their interactions are cute, and I loved how the author developed their relationship from simple trust and friendship into something deeper. The MC isn't a pushover; she has a voice and isn't afraid to use it, even scolding the ML at times. This bickering dynamic, coupled with Declan's growing obsession (in a doting, protective way, not a purely toxic one), made for some truly heartwarming moments. The plot, while not overly complex, provides a solid backdrop for their relationship to flourish, and I appreciated how the side characters were woven into the narrative.

Areas of Concern

While I enjoyed the novel overall, I can see why some readers found certain aspects less appealing. A few felt the MC could be annoying at times, particularly in her interactions with Declan. Others mentioned that the story started to drag towards the end. And the villains weren't particularly threatening.
