Description
By chance, small company idol group DinoSoul’s leader, Joo Dansol, was recruited to participate as an omega contestant in the hottest new show, “RO Match Survival in Island.” Despite doing his best to meet the expectations of his younger members and the agency’s President, what he got in return was a masterpiece of evil editing crafted by the PD, branding him as the nation’s enemy. While hiding from malicious commenters, he was hit by a truck that suddenly appeared in an alleyway. He thought his miserable and unjust life had finally ended… but then he found himself back in the past. Back to the day before the filming of “RO Match Survival in Island.” Forced to return to the island, Dansol planned to blend in like wallpaper, get edited out of the show, and quickly get eliminated without anyone noticing. That was his plan… Q. Who was the most impressive omega at first impression? Jung Daesoo: Joo Dansol. He’s small and cute. Lee Yiyeon: Ah, Joo Dansol? He’s crazy. So adorable. Jaegal Minhyuk: Joo Dansol was cool. I’d like to talk to him more. Ma Taeoh: Joo Dansol, I wonder why I didn’t notice him on the show. I should’ve gotten to know him earlier. Q. Who was the most impressive alpha at first impression? Han Jisoo: Do I really have to date only alphas? I kept thinking about Joo Dansol. Wait, you guys can’t fall for me, seriously?! God, how could you be so indifferent, making me end up on this wretched island twice!

My Thoughts on Why Am I Stranded in This Sh*tty Island Again?
"Why Am I Stranded in This Sh*tty Island Again?" is a whirlwind of comedy, fantasy, romance, and slice-of-life with a generous helping of omegaverse dynamics thrown in. I dove in expecting a lighthearted escape, and while parts of it delivered, my experience was definitely a mixed bag.
First Impressions
The premise is intriguing: a modern-day setting with a showbiz backdrop, a cute but seemingly hated protagonist, and the ever-popular second chance trope. The initial chapters pulled me in with the promise of fluffy romance and comedic situations as the MC navigates his… predicament. I was definitely curious to see how his past trauma would play a role.
What Works Well
The novel definitely leans into the "cute" factor. The protagonist, an omega, is portrayed as someone who needs protecting, and the narrative makes no apologies for it. If you enjoy a story where multiple love interests are vying for the attention of a pure, innocent character, this might be right up your alley. I can see the appeal of a story that prioritizes fluffy interactions and lighthearted moments. The showbiz setting also adds a layer of intrigue, offering glimpses into the glamorous (and not-so-glamorous) world of entertainment.
Areas of Concern
However, I did find some aspects less appealing. While the "cute" MC is a draw for some, I found him to be a bit too childish at times. Considering he's a regressor, I expected more strategic thinking and proactive behavior. Instead, he often relies on others to solve his problems, which, for me, undermined his agency. Furthermore, the drama, while present, felt somewhat underwhelming. I felt that it was long-winded, with developments that felt forced and even ridiculous at times. The resolution of conflicts, particularly the ease with which the MC forgives those who wronged him, didn't quite sit right with me.

Final Verdict
"Why Am I Stranded in This Sh*tty Island Again?" is a novel that will likely polarize readers. If you're looking for a purely lighthearted, fluffy read with a focus on a cute omega MC and multiple love interests, you might find it enjoyable. However, if you prefer a more proactive protagonist, well-developed conflicts, and satisfying resolutions, you might be left wanting more. Ultimately, I'd say it's a 3 out of 5 stars. It has its charms, but it's not without its flaws.
