My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone Novel Review

My Thoughts on My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

First Impressions

"My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone" throws you headfirst into a world of body swaps, abusive families, and a whole lot of drama. The premise is undeniably intriguing: a modern-day woman finds herself back in her original body, which has been thoroughly messed up by a soul from Korea. This sets the stage for what could be a compelling story of survival and revenge. I was certainly curious to see how the female lead, Canna, would navigate this treacherous situation.

What Works Well

Canna herself is a strong draw. She's smart, resourceful, and doesn't back down easily, which I find incredibly appealing. Her determination to carve out a better life for herself, despite the constant obstacles, is admirable. The initial chapters, where she begins to assert herself and punish those who mistreated her, are particularly satisfying. I also appreciate that the translation quality seems consistently high, making the story accessible and enjoyable to read, no matter where one is in the story.

Areas of Concern

However, as I delved deeper, I started to see some cracks. The world the author created feels overwhelmingly bleak and twisted, with almost no genuinely good characters. While some enjoy the high level of drama, this constant barrage of abuse, betrayal, and misfortune can become exhausting. The plot can feel repetitive, with the FL subjected to endless torture and slander. It also seems the FL's own decisions can be frustrating, as she sometimes makes choices that seem counterintuitive to her goals.

Final Verdict

"My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone" is a difficult novel to recommend. While the premise and the FL's initial strength are promising, the relentless negativity, frustrating plot choices, and controversial ending ultimately overshadow the positives. If you enjoy dark, angsty stories with morally gray characters and aren't bothered by potentially triggering content, this might be worth a try. However, if you're looking for a feel-good story with a satisfying resolution, you might want to steer clear. For me, the problematic elements outweigh the initial appeal, leading to a somewhat disappointing reading experience.
