The Transmigrated Side Character (subtitle: She Was Written to Shine Someone Else’s Light – He Had Other Plans) is a fairly entertaining little romance novella. Main issues would be that the setup feels completely unnatural, no reasons are given for why the protagonist acts as she does nor how she got there, and the events in the second half are pretty rushed.
D Abraham‘s first The Transmigrated Villainess Doesn’t Want The Crown Princess’s Position novel is a curious mix of disparate elements; Chinese palace drama, English period piece, and Japanese light novel. Somehow this combination manages to work despite the fact that it really, really shouldn’t. I think it’s mainly because the focus is more on the characters than the setting, which would would explain why I quickly started to lose interest in the second half as the frequency of rather unbelievable events picked up speed.
