Description

When the world became a game map, and one after another, humans began to transform into dolls. In the beginning, Bai Youwei thought it was a prank by the aliens. Until the moment where she was s**ked into a vortex of light, and a clear robotic voice sounded in her ears— Ding! Welcome to The Dolls’ Game! The rules of the game are as follows: If you refuse the game, you will become a doll! If you lose the game, you will become a doll! If you clear the game, you will be rewarded! Bai Youwei trembled while jumping into Shen Mo’s arms. “I’m scared! I’m just a weak girl who cannot tie a chicken (has no abs in hand)…” Shen Mo pulled her little hand and placed it on his abs. “Now you have some.” Game System: “Warning! Warning! Please respect the game, and clear challenges seriously, don’t focus on dating here!”

My Thoughts on Today, I Have Yet to Become a Doll

"Today, I Have Yet to Become a Doll" is a wild ride, a blend of action, adventure, fantasy, horror, and romance that I wasn't entirely prepared for, but ultimately found myself captivated by. This web novel plunges you into a world of deadly "doll games," and it's definitely not for the faint of heart.

First Impressions

My initial reaction was a bit mixed. The female lead, Bai Youwei, is…abrasive, to say the least. She's introduced as disabled, paralyzed from the waist down, and her bitterness is palpable. Some might find her off-putting, but I grew to appreciate her complexity. She's not a typical sweet heroine; she's flawed, cunning, and often cruel. It takes a bit to get used to her personality, but I think it's worth the investment.

What Works Well

The games themselves are incredibly creative and suspenseful. The author clearly put a lot of thought into the puzzles and challenges, and I often found myself trying to solve them alongside the characters. The plot is fast-paced, and once I got hooked, I found it hard to put down.

What really stood out to me was the character development, especially Bai Youwei's. Seeing her gradually open up and form genuine connections with others, particularly the male lead, Shen Mo, was genuinely heartwarming. The romance isn't the primary focus, but the bond between them is a strong undercurrent throughout the story. The supporting characters are also well-developed and contribute meaningfully to the plot. I appreciated that the story avoids the typical tropes of catty female rivals and instead focuses on building strong female friendships.

Areas of Concern

While I enjoyed the games overall, some felt a bit too long and drawn out. The descriptions and problem-solving could become tedious at times, causing me to take breaks. Also, the ending, while happy, felt somewhat abrupt and unsatisfying. I would have liked a bit more closure and a deeper exploration of the characters' relationships post-game.

Final Verdict

Despite some minor flaws, "Today, I Have Yet to Become a Doll" is a compelling and unique web novel. If you enjoy dark fantasy, complex characters, and challenging puzzles, I highly recommend giving it a try. Just be prepared for a protagonist who isn't afraid to be flawed and a world that isn't afraid to be brutal.
