Of All Things, I Became a Crow

My Thoughts on Of All Things, I Became a Crow

First Impressions

Of All Things, I Became a Crow promised a unique spin on the transmigration trope, and I dove in hoping for a delightful blend of fantasy, romance, and comedy. The premise – a human becoming a crow and catching the eye of a prince – is undeniably intriguing. I was ready for some lighthearted fun!

What Works Well

The early chapters definitely delivered on the comedy front. The female lead's struggles to adapt to her new avian form, coupled with the male lead's doting affection, created some genuinely funny moments. I can see why many readers were initially charmed by the fluff and lighthearted tone. The translations are well done, making for a smooth reading experience. Also, the beginning of the story is interesting and the characters are cute.

Areas of Concern

As I progressed, I started to see some of the cracks that other readers have pointed out. The plot felt repetitive at times, falling into a cycle of the MC and ML being affectionate, the MC turning into a crow, and the ML finding it amusing. This pattern, while initially cute, grew tiresome after a while. It felt like the story was spinning its wheels instead of developing a more complex narrative. Also, while the MC's diminished intelligence is a key part of the premise, it occasionally veered into frustrating territory.

Final Verdict

Overall, Of All Things, I Became a Crow is a mixed bag. It has moments of genuine charm and humor, and the central relationship can be endearing. However, the repetitive plot, simplistic character development, and divisive ending arc prevent it from reaching its full potential. If you're looking for a light and fluffy read and don't mind a bit of repetition, you might enjoy this. However, if you prefer a more complex plot and nuanced characters, you might find yourself growing impatient.
