My Thoughts on Transmigrated into a Book and Became the Big Boss’s Beloved Darling

I went into "Transmigrated into a Book and Became the Big Boss’s Beloved Darling" expecting a fun, fluffy read, given the premise and tags. While it certainly delivers on some of the comedic and fantasy elements, I found myself struggling to fully embrace the story. It has some interesting ideas, but the execution left me wanting more.

First Impressions

The initial chapters were intriguing. The idea of a protagonist transmigrating into a novel and becoming a "big boss's beloved darling" has a certain appeal. I was curious to see how the author would play with the meta-narrative and explore the power dynamics. The early focus on comedy and supernatural elements also piqued my interest, and I was eager to see how the romance would unfold.

What Works Well

The world-building, to a degree, is intriguing. The integration of fantasy and supernatural elements into a modern setting creates a unique backdrop. I found myself enjoying the concept of divination and how it was woven into the business management aspects of the story. The "doting older siblings" trope, while not entirely unique, offered moments of levity and warmth.

Areas of Concern

My main issue stems from the protagonist's behavior. While the "antihero protagonist" tag suggests a morally gray character, I felt that the MC often crossed the line into being outright unlikeable. The story seemed to revel in her bullying and unscrupulous actions without offering sufficient justification or character development. This made it difficult for me to sympathize with her, which ultimately hindered my enjoyment of the story. The male lead's sudden and seemingly arbitrary infatuation with the MC further detracted from the romance aspect, making it feel rushed and unearned. I felt that the connection between the characters was lacking, and I struggled to understand the basis of their relationship.

Final Verdict

"Transmigrated into a Book and Became the Big Boss’s Beloved Darling" has potential, with its unique world-building and comedic elements. However, the problematic portrayal of the protagonist and the underdeveloped romance ultimately prevent me from wholeheartedly recommending it. If you're looking for a morally ambiguous character who isn't afraid to cross boundaries, this might be your cup of tea. However, if you prefer your protagonists to be more relatable and sympathetic, you might want to proceed with caution.
