Description

My name is Leonora Hachania. I’m the daughter of a minor extra villain, but I have a great desire for power. I can’t leave the Hachanias as insignificant as the original! “Cloudy to the left!”“Do it!” “Cloudy to the right!”“Just Do it!” Showing off my sunglasses made with ink, I raised my voice.“Enoch, don’t cry!” The third child, who made weak eye contact with me, was surprised and sniffed his runny nose.“Wahh, I won’t cry!” I succeeded. “Was it supposed to be this week? It’s like tr*sh.”“Gasp! Save-save me!”“Brother, why don’t you kill him quickly because it looks like it would be a better thing for him.” My older brothers who used to be extras became the world’s greatest villains who can even blow the male lead away! The clumsy villain dad was a challenge though. “Lini, what else are you planning to do…”“Hoho, never mind. You’re planning something mean like my daughter. That’s good.” He was converted to a duel personality villain. Haha! Good. I must use the original information to make my family significant and raise my wealth! I tried to escape the time-limit body by enjoying the life of a real villain.“I know the princess is a kind person, so wishing only for you to be kind to me would be greedy.” I think the human weapon that was revived for the family is a little broken.“But if there’s no subject to be kind to…” The bright red flame from his hand burned the world map.“Shouldn’t you be kind to yourself?”

The Gangster Baby of the Duke’s Family Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator

My Thoughts on The Gangster Baby of the Duke’s Family

"The Gangster Baby of the Duke's Family" presents an intriguing premise: a reincarnation story blending aristocracy, family drama, and a touch of gangster grit. As I delved into the available information, I found myself pulled in by the potential, even with some reservations.

First Impressions

The initial hook of a "gangster baby" dropped into a noble family is undeniably catchy. The blend of comedy, drama, and fantasy genres promises a rollercoaster of emotions and situations. I was particularly interested in seeing how the author would balance the MC's past life with her current circumstances as a child in a European-esque aristocratic setting.

What Works Well

The strength of this novel seems to lie in the main character. From what I gather, she carries the plot and has a strong presence. The supporting characters also have the potential to develop into more fleshed-out individuals. I appreciate that the novel seems to focus on family dynamics and childcare, which could lead to heartwarming and humorous moments.

Areas of Concern

However, I do have some concerns. One recurring criticism revolves around the portrayal of certain tropes, particularly the shift in how the MC is treated. I'm wary of the potential for "misery p*rn" and the reliance on bullying as a plot device. I also worry about the characterization of the father figure. It seems like the author may be playing with the trope of a initially cold father, but I would prefer the author to avoid a complete disregard for how his early actions affect the MC. Another point of concern is the female characters, and I hope they're given depth and agency beyond being subservient or villainous. The MC's past life as a gangster also seems to have been done a disservice with her personality not reflecting her experience. The romance aspect also appears to be underdeveloped, possibly due to the MC's young age for a significant portion of the story.

Final Verdict

"The Gangster Baby of the Duke's Family" has an engaging concept and a potentially strong main character. However, it seems to stumble on some common tropes and characterizations. Whether the strengths outweigh the weaknesses depends on individual reader preferences. If you enjoy family-centric stories with a touch of reincarnation and don't mind some potentially frustrating tropes, this might be worth a try.
