Description
She dared to cross over to become the main character from being an extra in the novel. She believed that the power of love could change any fate. However, everyone died and realized that it was a perfect mistake. “If I ever go back, I will never love you.” Perhaps the earnest wish worked, she returned back a year before the original work began. The problem is that this body that she possessed in the original, is the worst villain in the world! “If I go on like this, the female lead will appear and my neck will be cut off.” She decided to never follow the plot after her rebirth while keeping her distance from The Male Lead. “I must write the greatness of Her Highness the Empress as a pamphlet and spread it throughout the Empire!” “You did a great job! The Empress must be a saint!” “I would gladly give this one life for the sake of the Empress!” Did I work too hard? Everyone seems to like me very much. And besides… “What are you doing here…” “Is it strange for a husband to find himself in his wife’s bedroom?” The attitude of the man who hated her terribly also became quite strange somehow…? Finally, the news that the heroine had appeared. Now it was time for the extras to disappear just as they were in the original. She stamped the divorce papers without any regrets and took them to her husband… “…Divorce?” “You will dethrone me and the new Empress… Wait, what are you doing?” Before she could finish speaking, he tore the divorce papers to shreds. He responded to her with a calm face. “I won’t.” “Are you going to go against the blessing?” “That’s out of question.” “I beg your pardon?’” I was dumbfounded, and he came close to me. With a dangerous face, he said as if growling in the narrow hunger for a kiss. “You promised to stay by my side until the day I die.” “…” “Your promise comes first. I will never let you go.” The original was about to change once again.

My Thoughts on Until The Real One Shows Up
"Until The Real One Shows Up" presents an intriguing premise: a protagonist reborn into a past life where she already messed up her "isekai" do-over. While I found the initial chapters promising, my overall experience was a mixed bag. It's a story with high points, but also some frustrating pitfalls.
First Impressions
The setup immediately grabbed my attention. Anastasia, our protagonist, isn't just transmigrated; she's regressed. She already tried to become the beloved empress, failed spectacularly, and now knows she needs to play the villainess role to avoid utter disaster. This twist on the familiar transmigration trope felt fresh and exciting. I was eager to see how she would navigate this tricky situation, balancing her past love with her perceived destiny.
What Works Well
Many readers praised the character development, particularly Anastasia's. I agree that her internal struggles are compelling. The author does a decent job of portraying her conflicting emotions: her lingering love for Wilhelm, her desire to protect the empire, and her determination to stick to the original plot. The slow-burn romance, at least initially, felt earned. I also appreciated the translation quality, which made for a smooth and enjoyable reading experience. And, I find myself enjoying the supporting characters and I love a good bromance.
Areas of Concern
However, as the story progressed, I started to see some cracks. Several readers pointed out inconsistencies in Anastasia's actions. Despite resolving to act the part of the villainess, she often defaults to her "nice girl" tendencies, which can be frustrating. I also felt that the praise showered upon Anastasia for minor improvements in her behavior was overdone and repetitive. It sometimes felt like the plot was dragging, focusing too much on superficial details and not enough on substantial conflict. The ending also seems to have left many readers unsatisfied, with some feeling it was rushed and anticlimactic.

Final Verdict
"Until The Real One Shows Up" has an intriguing concept and moments of genuine emotional depth. However, the execution falls short of its potential. While I enjoyed certain aspects, the inconsistencies and pacing issues ultimately left me feeling underwhelmed. It's an okay read if you're looking for something relatively low-effort within the genre, but don't expect a groundbreaking masterpiece.
