I Thought I Was The Main Character

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

I was possessed by a romance fantasy novel.

As an extra whose name doesn’t even appear.

This is the Extra Possession!

‘I have become the main character in the novel!’

After a quick realization, I enjoyed the life of the main character and became close to the Male Lead, Sub-Male Lead, and the Mastermind in the novel.

Everyone seems to like me, but I wasn’t sure who was going to be my male lead.

So I asked outright.

“Luci, do you like me?”

“Why did you make such a mistake?”

Luci asked, seeming to find it absurd.

The Male Lead in the novel seems to be not my male lead.

“Harrison, do you like me?”

“I don’t mean to say things like that.”

Harrison said sternly.

…It seems that the Sub-Male Lead in the novel is also not my male lead.

“Damian, do you like me?”

“Do you want me to like you? Would you like it?”

Damian asked, raising one corner of his mouth.

She didn’t know that she would even be ridiculed.

Even the Mastermind in the novel was not my man… I was really an extra. Why did I realize it now?

It was futile, but I was glad that I came to my senses even though it was late. Now I have to find my husband to fit my fraction.

“I want to go back and find my husband.”

I told my three friends who didn’t like me that I was leaving.

“What, are you looking for a bridegroom?”

“This is really unexpected.”

“What….”

Anyone who sees it would know that all three of them liked me. But now I know is not like that.

‘Hey, who knows who else will be fooled?’

I will no longer be mistaken for their actions.

“I’m busy, bye!”

"It wasn't because I'm the main character, it was hard to keep watching a child being bullied in front of me." This caught my eye, finally a MC that doesn't just get close to have a harem but because they actually feel sympathy. She also has a pretty heart from what i've read so far. And, she has tact as well. Although she does want romance with the ml's. It's pretty good, I decided to read because, well, it was too short not to read, and it also caught my... more>> eye. So far, it's pretty good. To the point I want to wait for updates, please give this novel support. Although the MC seems a bit silly, her determination is quite cute, and she's got thick skin, i've thought of being in her shoes and all I would do was be absolutely miserable. <<less

This is pretty good, at least in my opinion. Currently, I like this genre of novels, and so it was a nice read. This is actually the only novel I am reading right now, so I check in every day - you can say it's addicting. The MC is pretty funny, and I like the plot so far. I read some spoilers when I was looking for more chapters (I failed successfully so I am waiting on this website to update) and apparently the first chapter, what with the MC... more>> learning all the potential male leads didn't like her, was
Spoiler

just a misunderstanding

[collapse]
(the first chapter is kind of the middle of the story, I guess. The second chapter is several years before the time in the first chapter. If you read it you know what I mean). I'm looking forward to how the MC "charms" the male lead candidates and how this story plays out. I'm waiting for the next chapter and hoping it won't take too long. If you're debating on whether to read it, just read the first few chapters - 1-6?- and you'll get a gist of how the story will play out. Hopefully more chapters will come out and the 6th chapter will be of the first chapters, not the last, by the time this review is read. Looking forward to more chapters! <<less

Very cute and interesting, hahaha.

Although MC has that bits of Chuunibyou thinking she's a main character by possessing an Extra in a RoFan novel by following recent trends of novel logic.

She still came to a realization that this is now her life after an incident a yr later, even as she believes she has MC buff (?), she thought mb she shouldn't be too complacent in trying to romance with ML & etc. (the not yet appeared*sub ML & mastermind villain) , nor thinking everything'll easily goes her way... more>> just bc. Anyway, ML's favorability does not anywhere seem close to a romantic interest, so he may not be her man/ML candidates of her life. Let's just be friend then!

Although she does have that youthful attitude of a transmigrator wishing for a good & prospering romance life, but not to the point of looking at others or degrading them as npc/characters. She admits she thinks things too simply and has that 3rd person mentality, she learns to be more sincere and tries to reciprocate others who cares for her.

It's a good attitude where she can change and gradually see things in a wider perspective, not just limiting herself to a player in a romance game all the time. Ps. It's only been more than a year since she is an extra and trying to get closer to ML. Both are around 9 yrs old. <<less

Very interesting premise and I was excited to read it. After reading up to ch 17 I felt deceived and skipped ahead until ch 39 and felt even more let down.

Spoiler

The novel starts with the premise given in the synopsis which is quite interesting. Then starting from ch2 onward we get a time skip into right before she has met any of the love interests and after ch 39 I'm pretty sure she still hasn't even met anyone other than the prince.

Basically the synopsis promotes an interesting premise, but the actual story is a long winded "making of" story instead which is well and fine, but I didn't pick it up for that so my interest chilled and as of now I'm dropping it since I don't foresee author ever getting to the initial premise.

[collapse]

In short, ignore the synopsis on NU. <<less

i love this!!! I usually avoid reading korean romance novels as they really have slow burn romane and usually starts at a very young age, so you like have to read a lottttttt more chapters before they even reach the main story, and they are all most likely to be ongoing story

and this novel fit all the descriptions!

but because I started to be patient, reading on the official sites and all, I tried reading this one yesterday, and I felt a lot of things

my heart hurt a lot because of... more>> the characters, I just cant wait for them to grow up, and see how different they'd become and their personalities, , , I also cant wait to meet the other characters!

but yeah, I love the main characters, the female lead is very realistic, her choices and thoughts are what id probably do, she became a child after transmigrating but she realized her mistakes and acted on them, but she is still dedicated

I love the Author and the translations!!! Thank you all very much!!! <<less

For those strictly into the plot the synopsis gives, that doesn't happen until around chapter 140. Everything before that establishes and fleshes out the characters. I can't rate it, because I mostly skimmed it, but it's pretty generic.

Spoiler

You have the prince, who was bullied and neglected by everyone due to his stepmother, and he likes the protagonist because she forced her way into his world, her morals questionable.

You have the prince's bodyguard, whose father poisoned the prince in order to receive medicine for his son, the bodyguard. When he finds out, he's so guilty he makes it his mission to die for the prince. He likes the protagonist because she pushed him to continue apologizing to the prince despite numerous rejections, eventually being allowed to be his bodyguard.

Then you have the mage, the schemer. He has a tragic history with a magic tower that treats the children learning like contestants in a death game. All the students view each other as enemies, but he chose to trust someone anyway and got betrayed. He likes her because she's extremely trusting and naive, and he's used to cloak and dagger personalities.

Theres also the 'wicked and juvenile empress' biological son, who is friendly with the protagonist. Apparently, he got stabbed in the back too, or something (it was a part I skipped), but she's the only friend he considers sincere. Someone from the grand duke family also seems to like her. He has more of a friendly, childish vibe. These two are probably side characters, honestly.

Anyway, though I did skim here and there, it feels a little obvious the prince is endgame. He's taken too much screen time to not be.

[collapse]

I read a bit more, and am probably going to stop here. The author and protagonist both admit she is an extremely selfish person, and she really is. 140 chapters setting up why these poor, manipulated men like this selfish and insincere girl really makes me disgusted when we finally get to the wife chasing segment.

Spoiler

she is outright told and understands that there were misunderstandings and secret reasonings. The crown prince looks haggard and sickly. She does not care. She's not going to try and figure or talk things out. The reason? That moment of perceived rejection hurt her little heart. Frankly, the fact that she abandoned them when she thought they just wanted to be friends was already selfish of her. She acts like they betrayed her by leading her on, conveniently forgetting she was trying to seduce and become important to them with hidden intentions from day one. Every once in a while, the author would throw a line about her growing to genuinely care about them, but actions speak louder than words.

[collapse]

Long story short, the female lead doesn't pass the vibe check. Would not befriend, lest a passing comment make us enemies for life. <<less
