Description
He Zening had always felt that novels depicting the life of a Company President were good for passing time, but insulting to the IQ. Still, having read countless novels of this genre, never did she imagine that someday she would transmigrate into one of them. To make matters worse, the plots were so similar that she could not remember which novel it was. She was left with no choice but to assume the role of a secretary to the President. The secretaries in novels ran errands for the President, assisted him in pursuing women, helped him keep the flames of love burning, and even took the blame for him if necessary. But a real-life secretary? They were blamed by those in power, sometimes hurt and reprimanded wrongly. If it were not for the excellent pay and necessity, she would have already bolted out of the door. And like all curious bystanders, He Zening wanted to see the plot happen before her eyes; the President meeting the protagonist! A villain standing between the love of the leads! The side characters! This is the second life of a level-headed, diligent secretary working hard to achieve a carefree life, whilst being dragged into the plot.

My Thoughts on My Second Life As A Secretary
"My Second Life As A Secretary" promised a fresh take on the transmigration trope, and for the most part, it delivered a charming and engaging story. While it had a few stumbles, I found myself largely enjoying the ride.
First Impressions
The premise immediately hooked me. A protagonist transmigrating into what she suspects is a novel, but without knowing the specific story, offers a unique twist. I was intrigued by the idea of her navigating office politics and potential romance while trying to avoid typical novel clichés. The initial chapters were quite fun, especially seeing the MC try to learn all the tropes to subvert them.
What Works Well
What I appreciated most was the capable and level-headed female lead. Her professionalism and ability to get along with others were refreshing. It's nice to see a protagonist who isn't overly meddlesome and focuses on her work life. The novel also shines in its portrayal of the day-to-day life of a contract worker, offering a perspective rarely seen in business management stories. I also found the character development to be well-written and reasonable, with the MC growing and changing as she realizes the people around her are more than just characters in a book. The author's choice of the male lead was a pleasant surprise, feeling consistent with the FL's character set.
Areas of Concern
My main issue with the novel was the pacing, which at times felt a bit slow and unengaging. While the plot moves forward, it sometimes lacks the excitement to truly hook the reader. The romance, while appreciated by some for its mature and realistic portrayal, felt a bit flat to me. The relationship lacked the spark and excitement I typically look for in a romance novel. I also felt that the ending was rushed and could have been more fleshed out.

Final Verdict
Overall, "My Second Life As A Secretary" is an enjoyable read, particularly if you're looking for a modern, slice-of-life story with a resourceful female lead. While the pacing and romance might not appeal to everyone, the unique premise and well-developed characters make it worth checking out. I'd give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
