My Thoughts on The Villainess was Captured by the Prince before the Game Started
This one's a quick dip into the world of villainesses and overprotective princes, and honestly, it left me with mixed feelings. It's a short, complete story, which is always a plus when you're looking for a fast read. But, like a fleeting dream, some parts of it were a bit hazy around the edges.
First Impressions
The premise is pretty classic: villainess realizes she's in an otome game and tries to avoid her doom. The twist? The prince is already head-over-heels for her and isn't letting her go that easily. I was initially drawn in by the promise of fluff and a devoted love interest. The fact that it's mostly told from the ML's perspective is a nice change of pace in this genre.
What Works Well
The sheer fluff and sweetness are definitely a highlight. If you're looking for a light, heartwarming read with a dash of possessiveness, this might just hit the spot. The comedic twist at the end also seems to land well with many readers, providing a satisfying conclusion to the whirlwind romance. I can see why some people found it cute and enjoyable, especially as a quick palate cleanser between longer, more complex stories.
Areas of Concern
Okay, here's where things get a little dicey. While the "captured" aspect might appeal to some, I can understand why others found the ML's actions problematic. There are definitely some unexplored plot holes, such as why the prince pursued the heroine in the original game and when exactly the FL gained her memories.

Final Verdict
"The Villainess was Captured by the Prince before the Game Started" is a short and fluffy read that delivers on its promise of romance and devotion. However, the questionable actions of the male lead and the lack of depth in certain plot points might leave some readers feeling uneasy. If you're willing to overlook these flaws for the sake of a quick, sweet escape, then go for it. But if you prefer your romances with more nuanced characters and ethical considerations, you might want to proceed with caution. I'd give it a cautious 3/5 stars.
