Forget all these other reviewers. Most of them are rating this series low because it has a MC who was bullied for being obese and unattractive and then loss weight, and that triggers them like crazy.
Also, the story isn't even fat shaming. Its about a girl with an eating disorder who was bullied by bad people for being overweight, and eventually used magic to slim down post isekai. The story isnt saying thats a bad thing on its own. All these reviewers getting triggered by it are internalizing and projecting their own anxieties onto the storyline which aren't based at all.
In fact, the MC even describes her overweight appearence as charming and endearing when she looks at herself in the mirror. Its literally the opposite of fat shaming. So these low score reviews are embarassing and cringe to read. Seriously, stop projecting your own insecurities onto the stories you read. 😒
Also, the bullies in the story (who were fat shaming) get whats coming to them. Thats satisfying.
So I'm writing a review thats actually honest and untriggered to set the record straight on this series, which is one of the best web-comics in its genre, hands down.
All of these web-comic isekai's are full of cliches and tropes. That defines the genre. And, overpowered characters are a genre of their own. Calling her a Mary Sue for being over-powered is just bad reviewing. If you dont like it, dont read it. This story at least makes it exciting. Thank goodness for that.
The art is also a major gripe in most of these negative reviews. They mostly complain about "playboy figures" and unrealistic proportions. Honestly, theres a lot of series that do that to such an extent that I'd consider it the norm. But this series has beautiful art and Sylvia's figure isn't that unrealistic. She's built tall and slim with relatively normal proportions for the tall body type. And her breasts and her butt are relatively average sized for her height, so the playboy reference from the one review is absolutely absurd. I'd consider her reasonably well proportioned for a tall woman. For reference, very few series have tall females in them. They usually depict women with dainty-petite builds and average to short heights. So this series is a breath of fresh air. In fact, its the only series I've ever read that has a Female Lead who is 5 10" to 6' 0" in height. Tall women are so under-represented in web-comics that I'm glad theres at least this one for those of us who appreciate that.
The people talking about alien faces are the other half of the art complaints. I love the faces in this series. Its a fresh take on the shojo art style that isnt a copy of every other webcomic face out there. Thank goodness we have an artist who does something new style wise. I thought the faces were beautifully done. 😍
Sylvia Atlante is also a refreshing take on regresser type isekai characters. And the story has lots of action and adventure to keep her character fresh. In fact, the adventure in this story is easily better than everything else out there in this genre. I'm glad she isn't a dithering boy crazy heroine who has nothing interesting going for her other than the male lead, which is the problem with most shojo romances in web comics.
This story also has THE BEST side characters. Aileen, the younger sister is so endearing. And she doesn't come across as one-dimensional. She's just the embodiment of the benevolent heroine archetype. I am so happy every time I see her cuteness show up. But she has a lot of depth in her portrayal, regarding her sister (the MC) and her own insecurities.
The male leads are all interesting and two dimensional. And the FL doesn't spend every chapter lusting and whining over them like every other comic out there. She does however get a lot of character development in with them and its believably done. Thank goodness. I'm glad she is a self-made woman who is powerful on her own and the men in her life just add to that.
The mother is also a nice add-in late in the story as well. No spoilers.
The end game of this series is so 🔥 too. You'll be riveted in your seat for the whole thing, and every cliff hanger will have you screaming. lol.
I'm going to be honest. This series has a lot of wish fulfillment. But real life sucks and is boringly realistic, and wish fulfillment is what most of us came here for. The reviews on here that are on blast for that is completely ridiculous. Go watch some reality television if you want drama and angst. I'm glad this series does the wish-fulfillment so well. I love this series, I love the world its set in, I love the main character and her family and I love the author for writing it.
Go read it. It's on Tappytoons.
