My Thoughts on The People Who’re Supposed To Kill Me Fell For Me Instead

First Impressions

Okay, let's dive into this one. The People Who’re Supposed To Kill Me Fell For Me Instead is a completed quick transmigration novel, and right off the bat, the synopsis pulled me in. An author getting transported into his own worlds to fix bad endings? Intriguing! Add in the promise of romance and a love interest who is a cat, and I was definitely curious. However, I went in knowing that there are some things to be aware of, as some readers had issues with the repetitive nature of the plot.

What Works Well

For starters, the fluff factor is off the charts. If you’re a cat lover, prepare yourself. The male lead spends a significant amount of time in his feline form, and the main character is all about showering him with affection. Many readers adored this aspect, describing it as "diabetes-inducing" levels of sweetness. The arcs themselves, while following a similar pattern, explore different genres, from futuristic space settings to cultivation worlds, which keeps things somewhat fresh. I can also see the appeal of a light and fluffy read without too much angst. It seems like the novel excels at providing a feel-good experience.

Areas of Concern

However, the biggest issue is the plot. Some felt the story becomes repetitive, with each arc playing out similarly: MC meets ML, ML dotes on MC, and any conflict is quickly resolved. For some, the lack of meaningful interaction between the characters and the over-reliance on the ML's cat form hindered the relationship development. There's a fine line between adorable fluff and repetitive, plot-less scenes, and it seems like this novel might tip over that line for some readers. It was also stated that the characters themselves are relatively flat, which does not give the reader an incentive to root for them.

⚠️ Spoiler Warning

Some readers discuss specific plot points in their reviews, including the multiple worlds visited by the MC (futuristic space, cultivation, gaming, and modern supernatural) and the fact that the ML is essentially one soul across different worlds. The first arc is also mentioned as having a tragic ending, so be prepared for some potential heartbreak before the happy ending kicks in.

Final Verdict

Overall, The People Who’re Supposed To Kill Me Fell For Me Instead seems like a very specific kind of novel. If you're looking for a plot-heavy, action-packed story with complex characters, this might not be for you. However, if you're a cat lover who enjoys fluffy romance and lighthearted reading, it could be a delightful experience. Just be aware that the plot might take a backseat to the cat cuddling. I'd say approach this one with an open mind and a love for all things feline.

Synopsis

Seeing that the man who was suppose to have killed him kneel down on one knee and take out a ring while saying to him, “Marry me.” Gu Yan: “…”
