My Thoughts on When I Reincarnated, I was One of the Villainess’ Followers. . .But I Decided to Live My Life Freely.

Okay, so I dove into "When I Reincarnated, I was One of the Villainess’ Followers. . .But I Decided to Live My Life Freely," and I have some thoughts. This one's a bit of a mixed bag, but overall, I can see why it has its fans.

First Impressions

The title alone is a mouthful, but it immediately tells you what you're getting into: reincarnation, villainess, and a follower role, with a dash of rebellion. The premise is intriguing, especially if you're into the whole "reincarnated in a game world" trope. I was curious to see how the MC would navigate this new life, especially with the gender bender aspect thrown in.

What Works Well

The fluff! If you're looking for something light and easy to read, this might be right up your alley. It seems the story really leans into its comedic and school life elements, focusing on the interactions and relationships between characters at the all-girls school. The "cute protagonist" tag definitely seems accurate; it's a story that doesn't take itself too seriously, and that's part of its charm. If you're in the mood for a yuri-filled, feel-good story, this novel really shines in that department. The focus on character interaction and drama is the driving force, and it's where the story truly shines.

Areas of Concern

I can see where some readers might find the lack of significant plot progression frustrating. It sounds like the story prioritizes character interactions over a grand, overarching narrative. Also, some may find the MC's actions questionable.

Final Verdict

Just be prepared for a story that prioritizes character relationships and lightheartedness over complex plot development. It's a solid choice for those who enjoy the genre, but approach with the right expectations.
