When I Quit Being A Wicked Mother-in-law, Everyone Became Obsessed With Me

My Thoughts on When I Quit Being A Wicked Mother-in-law, Everyone Became Obsessed With Me

This title certainly grabbed my attention, and I dove into When I Quit Being A Wicked Mother-in-law, Everyone Became Obsessed With Me with high hopes for a fluffy, heartwarming story. While it does deliver on the "cute" factor, I found myself echoing some of the concerns I've seen from other readers regarding character development and plot depth.

First Impressions

The initial premise is classic transmigration fare: a woman finds herself in the body of a notorious mother-in-law from a novel. She decides to turn over a new leaf and shower her neglected son with love. It's a formula that often works, and I was eager to see how this author would put their own spin on it.

What Works Well

The strongest aspect of this novel, hands down, is the focus on familial relationships. The interactions between the FL and her son, and later, the adopted daughter, are genuinely heartwarming. I can definitely see why many readers are drawn to the "cute" moments and the FL's efforts to build a loving family. There are some exciting moments, such as the FL putting the childs' abusive teacher in her place.

Areas of Concern

However, I also found myself agreeing with some of the criticisms regarding the FL's character. At times, she seems to lack self-awareness, especially regarding the impact of her sudden change in behavior on her son. I noticed several readers felt she should have approached things more gradually, considering the history of neglect. The plot can also feel a bit thin, with conflicts sometimes dragging on unnecessarily. The villains, as one reviewer put it, are often "2D," lacking depth and nuance. Additionally, some plot points, like the sudden adoption of the girl from the orphanage, felt somewhat random and not entirely well-integrated into the story.

Final Verdict

When I Quit Being A Wicked Mother-in-law, Everyone Became Obsessed With Me offers a sweet and fluffy escape for those seeking a lighthearted read focused on family. However, be prepared for some underdeveloped characters, plot inconsistencies, and a protagonist who, at times, can be frustratingly clueless. If you're looking for a deeply complex narrative, this might not be the novel for you. But if you're in the mood for something cute and heartwarming, it could be worth a try.
