Villainesses Obsess Over The Extra

My Thoughts on Villainesses Obsess Over The Extra

"Villainesses Obsess Over The Extra" boasts a fascinating premise, pulling you in with the promise of obsessive love and a male protagonist caught in a whirlwind of powerful women. I dove in hoping for a wild ride, and while it delivered on some fronts, it stumbled in others.

First Impressions

The initial chapters are definitely attention-grabbing. The setup, where the "extra" suddenly becomes the center of attention for multiple villainesses, is intriguing. The blend of genres – action, comedy, romance, and even a touch of the supernatural – seemed like a recipe for a truly unique story. I was ready to see how the protagonist would navigate this chaotic situation.

What Works Well

The sheer absurdity of the premise provides a good dose of entertainment. There are moments where the over-the-top yandere tendencies of the villainesses are genuinely funny. I appreciated the author's willingness to lean into the more unconventional aspects of the story. The special abilities and fantasy elements add a layer of excitement to the school life setting, making it more than just your average romance. The strong love interests definitely bring a lot of tension to the story.

Areas of Concern

However, I did find myself struggling with the protagonist. He often felt passive, reacting to the events around him rather than driving the plot forward. This lack of agency made it difficult for me to connect with him. Also, at times, the plot felt a bit disjointed, as if the author was juggling too many elements without a clear direction. This led to some questionable developments that felt forced and detracted from the overall experience.

Final Verdict

"Villainesses Obsess Over The Extra" is a mixed bag. While the premise and some of the individual elements are entertaining, the execution falters due to the weak protagonist and the sometimes-scattered plot. If you're a fan of yandere characters and don't mind a protagonist who takes a backseat, you might find enjoyment here. However, if you prefer a more proactive and well-defined main character, this might not be the story for you. Ultimately, it's a novel with potential that doesn't quite reach its full potential.
