My Childhood Friends Are Trying To Kill Me

Description

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

She was not only reincarnated into someone who died in an absurd fashion, but she also took the crown prince’s place and went to the secret neutral territory, where male members of the five imperial families gathered. As a result, her childhood friends know her as a boy.

“Goodbye, guys.” she cried in front of her friends who she would never meet again. That was because officially, she (the prince) was going to die soon!

It was fun spending time with them, but she will never see them again. She hopes everyone lives happily!

***

After many years, her childhood friends turned heroes who defeated the wild dragon visited her.

“…Was it you? The one who killed my friend?”

“After killing the previous crown prince, the mu*derer is said to be living comfortably as a princess, right?”

“I will torture you, so much so you’ll wish for death.”

“Answer me. Why did you kill him?”

Of course, they didn’t recognize her at all. No, that’s not the problem… The problem is that her childhood friends are trying to kill her. Wait a second, guys!

A pretty good read for the 8 translated instalments that I've read. There were a few things in this novel that I am pleasantly surprised by, which includes the legitimate way in which the gender bender element is incorporated into the story. As for the MC, I like her reasoning for getting involved with the male love interests in spite of concerns for her own safety. She might be a flawed individual but it is her actions that show her to be a good person that cares about the people... more>> around her. <<less

The overall plot based on the synopsis is good and interesting, but... the author seems lacking with the way she/he write this story. I mean, the MC is supposedly a mature adult though I can understand that she was a patient in her previous life where she does nothing, so her decision making and insight is quite lacking. In short, I don't like this MC. But, I will try to read more and see if I will change my mind.

I'm on chapter 137 which is exactly 100 chapters away from completing this novel. To keep it short, I really really enjoyed reading the story when they were children. However, like how other people said, the story just became horrible after they reunite. It was like you were reading a different novel, the characters and plot were just frustrating to read---just not horribly thought out. I'm unwilling to continue reading a bad story thus will drop this novel.

I definitely recommend reading it but only until the chapter when they reunite.... more>> After that, it is just wasting your time and common sense. <<less

Good start but, the author is f*cking annoying. So many FORCED events in the second half of the story. I couldn't even tolerate reading a bunch of chapters in the second half of the story.

I seriously hate the author who butchered the story into an excruciating read. A story that began good and ended up unpalatable.

Like wtf happened author? It started good but the way I see it the author lost his/her focus on the second half of the story. Or rather focused on prolonging the chapters than having a... more>> good plot. <<less

i recently got into reading korean translated novels here so this is my first review.

anyways the FL is great. At the start, Lelia was forced to genderbend to be a substitute for a shtty crown prince in a friendship camp between empires. She has the original mindset of "i dont want to get involved in the original storyline" like other female leads do, but her reasons for getting involved are not cliche. She is not overpowered in my taste which is great.

... more>>
Spoiler

although there is a "buff" item that allows her to do alchemy via a gathering game she played during her time in Korea

[collapse]

i legit cried a few times bc the angst is perfectly executed. Although the female lead cried a lot during the reunion scene with her grandfather, I feel like our baby deserved it after all the sh*t she had to go through in the original story's fl's family.

the male leads are okay for now. Griffith is the stoic shy kid and I respect that. I find it hard to distinguish the character of Romeo and Kalix when they're talking (i just know that one of them is the punching bag of the original story). Oscar, on the other hand, is my favorite.

if I were to place my bets on who the main ML is then it would probably be Kalix due to the amount of "screentime" he has in the FL thoughts. (She worries for him more than the other 3 ngl)

all in all, this story is great! I cant wait to see them all grow up. Hopefully they wont be too mad when they know that shes their childhood friend. <<less

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ No lies, I ADORED this one. ESPECIALLY when I figured out why the initial narrative is so twisted in the FL's head. I too complained that the OG FL was too saccharine and everything worked out entirely too perfectly for her - and there's an actual, logical, GOOD REASON for it that you discover about 4/5ths of the way through! This author is actually a genius because EVERYTHING ends up coming back as a plot point that at the time you just might have gone "hunh - that's... more>> interesting" and then FIFTY FREAKING CHAPTERS LATER IT MAKES SENSE. There's a TON of stuff I would not have caught if I hadn't read it straight through after it was finished, so I'm REALLY not surprised others didn't catch it. This one is REALLY angsty. So be prepared for that if it's something that can trigger you, but I would give this one a reread. I almost never reread anything but this one I'm going to just to see if I can find what else I missed on the first pass. Just be aware that while the narrator herself is not unreliable, the data she's working from very much is. It makes the mystery that much harder to solve! <<less

I really liked the beginning so much! Anyone who is new to novels: please don't expect it to be a light read for just 20 mins or so ^^ (as I've read other reviews stating that it takes quite some time to read it completely.

I really liked the storyline and the plot that author lays out for us. In the beginning where they build their relationship and so on. Though it really didn’t have much details on that. The traumatic experience our FL had to go through, the hardships to survive and scared of being starve to the point of eating snow and soil. Really interesting.

For those who are reading the reviews saying that the sudden appearance of system is what made they drop it, nope they’re wrong. For me at least it was... more>> fine, kind of exist just so that the author could make excuses on making FL kissing every single her childhood friends but it’s still alright to me.

Spoiler

You might thought this is a positive review but ah ah, it goes downhill from chapter 100+ where the plot just revolves around toxic and manipulative ML. Are we going to pretend that the ML didn’t put our FL in dark tiny room and locked her? Her other friend who drugged her? Not to mention that our FL is too forgiving on the basis it’s bcs they’re her friends? “Luckily __ is not my enemy” girl I don’t know how to tell you this, but that mf literally kidnapped you.

Also all those shameless characters, our “princess” who was supposed to be abused by her biological father for years could see the world so pretty and positive thinking it revolves around her is really getting on my nerves. It’s not a bad thing to forget about those traumatic past but it should at least have some wounds on her heart no? Our FL is literally saying sorry to her 100 times, and she did nothing? Not even trying to stop it? Don’t you realise that this is exactly what your biological father would do to you when he abused you? Get tf out my face

[collapse]

This is my first time reading romance korean novel bcs I usually avoid first point of view so this third point of view novel is what making me stay and patience for the author. But it really disappointed me.

I was really thinking of dropping it midway but I feels like it was still fine but these recent chapters, I can’t deal with it anymore. Reading it really makes me aged 10 times more each chapters. 10/10 would not recommend this. Wasting your time is bad my dear, don’t be like me who doesn’t believe the reviews, it were there for a reason.

In conclusion, bcs there is too many plot holes and miscommunication, I have decided to drop this sh*t and never touch it again :) <<less

I decided to read this with no expectations at all, but it still managed to disappoint me.

The beginning is alright. Although the writing is average, the characters are not unbearable. It's your typical shoujo.

The story went downhill when she and her childhood friends part ways.

... more>>
Spoiler

Suddenly, she was the daughter of the new Emperor. There was a logical explanation for that so I got over it. But after that, there are plot twist after plot twist that keeps being added. The execution is horrible. It's like a collage of thungs that doesn't makes sense together. It was very forced. The appearance of a system is the most horribly executed twist of this story.

[collapse]

In addition, the personality of the MC suddenly became weak and s*upid. I mean, she's been a holy mother all along, but somehow she got worse as the story progress. She has no redeeming qualities as a protagonist. I also can't root for her because she doesn't face much challenge. It doesn't feel like challenge because the solution will fall on her lap in time. She's so OP that the Golden Curse something feels like nothing.

The MLs are fine at first, but all of them are one dimensional. They went through a lot in life. They should've known better than to feed theur own misunderstandings with things that has NO BASIS AT ALL.

The original MC is hopeless. She thinks everything revolves around her. She doesn't seem like an opponent but an annoyance.

The relationship with the MLs are fine at the beginning. Simple friendship which evolved to doubt. Suddenly, Oscar kissed her out of nowhere? I'm not gonna speak about consent with this total yandere. But theh have no intimacy or ambiguousness beforehand that should've triggered that. He is a total red flag.

In my opinion, Kalix is a much sweeter fellow. In fact, Griffin and Romeo are also fine. At least, they are fine until the part I've read. They help the MC and even though they doubt her, they don't force her or the truth out of her.

Anyway, I still think that people can enjoy this novel. It's just that, I grew out of this type of writting. <<less

This is a fun, enjoyable story with good translation. Some of the complaints about the MC are fair - she's very passive, and at times outright ignores the obvious signs that her "friends" like her. But considering that her past life was a dying child who could only play video games, and her new life is an abused and abandoned child for the beginning of her childhood it feels pretty realistic for her to be obtuse about certain things.
Net positives: it's fun, the plot is fast-paced, so you'll get... more>> into the meat of the story quickly. Male leads are yandere-bent (some more than others) and the game system doesn't feel stale and doesn't overpower the story too much. MC stays true to her goals - she doesn't lose sight of what she's doing to chase down her friends, etc. I also like that she hasn't forgiven the characters who hurt her this deep into the novel.
Overall the story here is really enjoyable and the translator is doing a great job. It's a light read, but the exploration of the side characters is really interesting and seems to be gaining some complexity. Recommended Read. <<less

-MC had the personality of a cardboard cut-out. She's very bland and passive.
-She's like a small boat in the big wide ocean, just following along with what the plot throws at her.
-Understandable since, as a modern person who barely had any life experience in her previous life (what does a sick person who lies in bed all her life waiting for death even know anyways?), she's now even turned into a little girl. There's literally nothing she can/ know what to do. She's not even trained to this... more>> new unfamiliar world, not even receiving proper education like how a royal/ noble should. That's why she's akin to that small boat— she's practically useless.

-And THAT is how/ why the system is extremely fitting here. The author knows her characters best and knows what she's writing about (maybe).
-Without the system, I can't see how the MC will survive or had any progress with her friends or even her own life itself
-The point here is, MC NEEDS her system to hold her hand and teach her 1+1, else she'd be six feet under early on, with no one to remember her (well, except for the four men, of course).

-An alternative desirable ending should have been she would end up with all four, lie down comfortably to enjoy life after two lifetimes of suffering and let the men take care of her. Why is the author afraid to make such ending? Afraid of readers so-called morality and their condemnation? The author was brave enough to write about reverse-harem— why not go all the way? :P I'm pretty sure most if not some reader who cl**ked the book tagged with freaking reverse-harem should prepare to accept such ending anyway.

-Nevertheless, it's a fun, mindless read :) <<less

At first I was really invested in to this story. The characters were interesting and an interesting plot line but the longer I continued to read the story it really felt like the plot didn’t have any direction. The MC is constantly using her crappy alchemy game powers. That most of the time is unreliable with constant delays. It also seems to be the driving force of the plot and it’s conflicts. Like how the MC has to do something for the system like kissing a love interest or helping... more>> a side character to get something she needs. I think the author relays on the alchemy system to much to just make stuff happen. I also find a problem with the MC as the story goes on she gradually loses her agency.
Spoiler

In the beginning she is a strong capable kid that even saves one of the love interests in the wilderness and carrie’s him back to safety. She also helps the other love interests work through their problems as well.

[collapse]

But as an adult for some reason she can’t put her foot down and straighten out some misconceptions and just let her friends talk over her.
Spoiler

Even after she breaks her cures that would kills her if she reviles her identity to anyone.

[collapse]

I also don’t think she loves with any of the love interests in a romantic way. She hasn’t shown any sign of affection toward the love interests out of her free will. It’s always something else that pushes her to do that like the alchemy system or the love potion. I bet there are some moments that I looked over where she does show some interest but for me it’s not enough for me to continue reading. I’m over 100 chapters in and it feels like there’s barley any romance and that was what I came for. <<less

edit as of 2022

From my initial rate of 4 stars, I'm changing it to 3 stars. I hate the end game lol.

i like it as a story of friendship but as for its romance aspect it is just bad bad.

... more>> -

Don't read this novel if you don't like:

  • obsessive (almost yandere) characters
  • pushover FL (for good reason)
  • Forceful development
  • dragged on drama
  • annoying original FL/ML (julianna & ruth)
Honest review (contains spoilers)

the first part of the story was amazing and quite touching, it started out pretty nicely and continued really great from there but when they suddenly switched up the genre to a game-like feature it went downhill from there. Honestly though I didn't like that part because it forced her to do things she wasn't comfortable with, granted it gave her cures to fix her friend and familys' illness, it was still honestly annoying. From then on it felt like our FL became a pushover. I don't blame her since she's doing it for the greater good but it's pushing her limits in romancing her friends and it's so uncomfy how they're all batsh*t crazy for her just because she's a girl like why couldn't they have just stayed platonic??? Why was gender such a big deal, and they're so forceful too that it's not even funny. I think Romeo is the only one who's kind enough to give her some space.. I'm hoping there's still a light at the end of the tunnel we're they tone it down, maybe a cure for their obsession. It would be better if the ML was outside of her friend group or maybe romeo

anyways, story wise they add so much unnecessary drama with no foreshadowing. They'll just dump an incredible secret that you didn't even expect. Like when she turned out to be the biological daughter? Like out of blue she is

and then about her mother

like huh more heartbreak now? the pacing is not bad but also not good. Also at this point I feel like it's loosing the original goal of the series as if it's derailing a lot. Everything is chaotic rn with the latest chapters but honestly I don't mind. More than anything I want from this series is her and her family to be reunited (except for the douchebag father and twins).

I'll give it a 4 for now, because of how much I love her grandfather, grandmother, aunt and uncles. They deserve the world. <<less
