Seeing many people made bad reviews with avarage 3☆s or so, I decided to join in.
The story, ch 19, is quite good as far as I read. It involved an MC with ability that can allow her to play a role in a story. The story is a work of an actual author there in her reality. So, the act she does there will affect the storyline of the actual novel/manga in real life.
I consider it good because:
1. The ln not really rushing, she is not really op.
2. She is a girl that think that she is just a ur-avarage-jane-doe and it's the way she was. (It just recently that she has some people recognise her)
3. She is a traveler. You understand, that kind of novel that travel to new body, new life etc etc), but that didn't made her to know everything and can do every sort of amazing things like how usually other mc does.
4. Her real life is describing about novel author, how webnovel author got his payment, all sort of things author may be thought while writing his/her novel and manga. It just made readers know about author's line of thinking.
Lastly, I'm not really know how this novel will progress in the future as right now there is only some 19 or so chapters, but that is all I can review so far. Thanks for you whoever read this.
If you see some newly released novel(or maybe even the old one), please read some 5-10 ch to judge whether the ln is good or no before you all give a review.
I just recently know that author just paid 5 cent for 1000 words/one reader. The pay is actually not that high-(exception if the ln is well known or it's popularity is high)
Even if Qi really applied payment system for this app, I think that most of the money should go to the author pocket and not the corporation!! Give right to author!!! Yeayeayea!!
P. S
Do forgive me if my grammar is hard to understand as there's may be many wrong spelled and mistyping words or wrong grammar!
I am satisfied as long as you understand what am I saying!!
Was a decent read besides all the stupid stuff.
Now down to the bad stuff.
The whole premise is of Mc wanting to be popular, to stand out. Guess what happens once she DOES just that? We get a couple of chapters of her getting recognised, 1 "candid" picture taken, some controversy and BOOM. MC doesn't want attention anymore, she is sick of it. So yea she goes back to being invisible.
And how the **** could some1 famous possibly do that? Plastic surgery? Wearing a mask? 24/7 Disguise? NOOOO
Cut her hair shorter!!!! It's the ultimate disguise. From a school flower to some1 no1 recognises BECAUSE SHE HAS A SHORT HAIR CUT.
I'm not making this shit up. It's ridiculous how obsessed author is with long hair.
Like MC decides to turn her friend into a popular beauty to have less attention on her (yeah, basically her whole goal of standing out is out of the window, she apparently doesn't care anymore, and apparently never knew that if she was famous, she would get a lot of attention and little privacy, WHO WOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT? RIGHT?) ugh, back to the point. So guess how she manages that. Some beauty lotion. AND LONG HAIR. She made her friend grew out hair and BOOOM, WHOLE WORLD WAS SHAKEN, NEW SCHOOL FLOWER WAS BORN. No1 recognises MC by her side, every1 is drooling, masturbating, ejaculation just from the sight of her friend WITH LONG HAIR.
Then we have a shitton of chapters from the POV of Han Leng. He is always blabbing on about his love, his delusions etc etc, like who gives a shit. We got more than 50 chapters out of 380 just from his point of view. And in most of them he is thinking of MC, how she is this, how she is that.
And for the final thoughts. Author has a serious long hair fetish, I bet if there was a dog with long hair author would hump that. Like it's unreal how he makes it look. Author tries to mention how faces are all that matters, but what really matters is always the hair length. I know i'm repeating about the hair, but it's so fucking emphasised it's unreal.
Author is obsessed with China, China superiority, China this, China that. China best at everything.
Be prepared to cringe whenever the word China is in the sentence/paragraph. I used to ignore this shit "China patriotism" in other novels, but in this1 it's obnoxious. It seems like the author has been brainwashed by China regime and he actually thinks China owns the world. I barely got past this shit by skipping paragraphs whenever i stumbled upon the dreaded word of CHINA, but i still had to cringe just from what i read up to that word.
As a yuri lover and the reason why i even read this, It looks like i'm at the chapter where yuri might start being more visible but i just can't be asked to read this anymore, even though i'm sure this is where the yuri stuff starts. Yeah i'm just burned out of all this hair nonsense, han lengs pov and China "patriotism" (more like brainwashed since birth)
I like this story a lot hopefully it continues. Simply because of how fun is to imagine going into manga and novels to alter them.
I also quite like the MC sure she is ordinary at the moment, but with her ability she'll become extraordinary. Since I already like the MC it's gonna be hard to find a flaw in her form me at least.
With my rambling done. I only read up to chapter 21, but I'm not planning on updating this review. Unless I end up really really hating it later.
Actually, I must agree with foxfire92 for recomending this story...
And dare I say this story is one of my fav that I just can't wait for another update and more chp to show...
This kind of Side Chara Mary-sueish-yet-not story is kinda got me. And that ZYY is almost like myself in my class except for some part...
"Shift! The Side-Character Heroine" is an intriguing read that captivates my imagination. The protagonist's unexpected transformation into a formidable sidekick left me thoroughly engaged. The author skillfully weaves a tapestry of relatable characters, each with their own depth, making the story come alive. The plot twists kept me on the edge of my seat, challenging traditional hero tropes. I particularly enjoyed the heroine's growth as she discovered her own strength beyond her initial supporting role. A delightful blend of action and character development, this novel is a refreshing take on the genre.
"Shift! The Side-Character Heroine" is a delightful and thought-provoking novel that subverts traditional storytelling conventions, inviting readers to explore the often-underappreciated world of side characters. The author deftly captures the essence of human empathy by centering on a protagonist who, until now, has been a supporting figure in others' tales. Through this heroine's journey, we witness her growth, self-discovery, and the power she finds in stepping into the spotlight.
The narrative cleverly delves into themes of identity, resilience, and the importance of agency, reminding us that every character, regardless of their initial role, carries their own unique story. The author's engaging writing style allows the reader to form a deep connection with the protagonist, as she navigates challenges and uncovers hidden strengths.
What sets "Shift!" apart is its ability to challenge stereotypes and celebrate the underestimated potential within all of us. It serves as a refreshing reminder that even in the most predictable narratives, there's always room for change and transformation. This novel not only entertains but also encourages introspection, making it a must-read for those who seek unconventional yet relatable storytelling.
