Description
Imagine being transmigrated into a book where you’re meant to play the overbearing villain who forcibly takes what he wants. You even have a system that gives you pre-warnings about the plot. By all accounts, it should be a piece of cake. However, problems crop up right as the mission is about to officially begin. “Host, you’re about to be late for the first major plot point!” What’s done is done. Qin You ignored the system’s frantic alerts and rushed to the scene as quickly as possible. In the original plot, he’s supposed to “act beastly” towards the protagonist shou, after which the protagonist gong arrives to save the protagonist shou from him once again. Entering the room, he saw a figure standing in the living room. With the system’s anxious urging, Qin You didn’t waste a second. He grabbed the person, ignored their angry questions, forcibly suppressed their resistance, and began his “forcible taking.” Halfway through the act, Qin You waited and waited. Finally, just before the rice was cooked (before the deed was fully done), the other protagonist burst in. The newcomer gasped upon entering, his voice trembling as he said, “Qin You, what did you do to Ting Shen?” Ting Shen? Yan Tingshen? That’s the protagonist gong’s name. Qin You: “…” He looked down, meeting Yan Tingshen’s furious gaze, and slowly rose from the sofa. In his mind, the system was screaming in alarm. A suffocating silence spread through the living room. Qin You’s face was void of expression. A complete career Waterloo. The plot had gone completely off the rails. The villain took the wrong person. Now what?

My Thoughts on Seizing the Wrong Person
"Seizing the Wrong Person" promised a comedic transmigration story with a mistaken-identity twist, and for the most part, it delivered. I went in expecting a lighthearted read with some potentially dramatic moments, and I wasn't disappointed. It's not groundbreaking, but it's definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a fun yaoi novel.
First Impressions
The initial premise is intriguing: our protagonist transmigrates and immediately identifies the wrong target for his mission. This sets the stage for potential chaos and misunderstandings, which the story definitely capitalizes on. The beginning is a bit slow, but I appreciated the slow-burn romance that gradually developed between the MC and ML.
What Works Well
The relationship between the main characters is the highlight. I found their interactions believable and engaging. They actually communicate, which is refreshing! Once they get together, their dynamic is one of equals, supporting each other and respecting each other's individuality. I especially liked the MC's business acumen shining through, even though he tries to avoid the corporate world. The story is also good at resolving conflicts quickly, which keeps the plot moving at a decent pace. While the side characters are a bit two-dimensional, they serve their purpose, adding humor and support to the main couple.
Areas of Concern
My main issue, and it seems I'm not alone in this, is the system. Its constant interruptions and commentary are jarring and often detract from the flow of the story. It feels like a cheap plot device, and I often found myself ignoring its dialogue to better enjoy the interactions between the MC and ML. Also, the MC's background remains somewhat mysterious. I would have liked to see more development of his past life to better understand his motivations.

Final Verdict
Overall, I enjoyed "Seizing the Wrong Person." It's a light, entertaining read with a charming romance at its core. While the system and some underdeveloped aspects hold it back from being truly great, the strong character dynamics and engaging plot make it a worthwhile experience. I'd give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
