The Mighty Extra: One Girl Changes the World

Description

It's easy to overlook the extras in a novel, but when one avid reader wakes up in the body of "extra" extraordinaire Princess Lyla, she's ready to shed the side character image and step into her mightiest form! Armed with hidden magic more potent than the empire of Belliana has ever seen, Lyla is ditching the palace in favor of a nobler mission--protecting her bias at all costs! Now she must rescue Fian, dreamy descendant of the Kylon Dragon Empire, so he can have his happy ending with the story's heroine. That is, assuming the heroine is still Princess Helene...

Art is nice but plot is a bit slow

by jnatsumi

Rating: 6.0 / 10.0

I love OP female MCs. This started out nice, but the plot progresses a bit slow for my liking. The story is taking a light-hearted approach right now since the MC is a bit of an airhead and childish, which is a shame with how powerful she is. The plot is taking an interesting turn at around 60 chapters in. The romance doesn't seem to be the focus here, but it's established earlier on.

The art is beautiful and it makes up for some of the things I found lacking about the plot.

Final verdict is: it's not the best transmigration/isekai ever but it's ok to pass time with.

I rated this on the lower side because I think there's a mis-opportunity here with how powerful the MC is. She could have been badass but... unfortunately, she still needs the male MC to rescue her. She's slow on the uptakes despite having read the story before transmigrated, ended up having to rely on other ppl to tell her information. The worst thing about having an OP MC is a dumb OP MC :( Sigh. This is a harsh review, but man, the art is nice...

I guess I just don't like this kind of female MC.
I'm not mad at it, but doesn't quite hit the spot -- for me.

This is Mighty Good

Surprisingly REALLY good. I thought it started off as a generic story of an OP Female MC, but holy hell did the plot twists change my perception. This story has surprising depth and character development and even great world-building. When things start falling into place, you realize the complex web of storytelling that the author has created. Very well done, i'd say. My favorite character is actually the Emperor right now...

The MC being OP…

by kakimochi

…actually doesn’t bother me at all. Maybe because she’s a likeable character even without taking her powers into account that I don’t mind. I’m about halfway through the first season, and I can comfortably say I’ll continue reading this one.

Way better than I thought

I was a little concerned bc it's shown early on that MC transmigrates and is seriously OP, and tho the plot can waffle at times about why she can't always go full out with her powers or how it doesn't solve everything, it still is able to tell an engaging story while giving the MC believable (and some even relatable) obstacles to overcome.

I also appreciate how MC near-phenomenal cosmic powers are given their own intrigue. We don't know where they come from at the start (tho we can guess) and we find out later that she isn't as completely OP as we're first led to believe.

I also rather enjoyed how the author went a bit tongue in cheek with acknowledging how the MC was Mansa Musa-ing the economy with her ability to create as much currency as she wants out of thin air. But I can see the issue abt how the author makes the MC deal with slavery become a hit or miss with readers.

I do want to clear up that, despite what another commenter says, it's shown clearly that MC did want to use her powers to just free everyone. Multiple times. And multiple times, she only didn't bc she was convinced to go along with another person's plan, which was more thought-out and better set-up to break down an entire slave system and reform a whole society, rather than just save a single group of people for the time being if MC did things her way. Whether or not readers will agree that going along with this plan was the best way to go abt dealing with this issue, is another matter.

The story also emphasizes that MC cannot replicate magic items. Most likely, this implies that she's also limited in other ways of what she can do with magic items, and that pretty much sets up the context clues that the slave keys/collars are some kind of magic item.

And I also like the directions the author is choosing to focus on for her story. I think it better fleshes out a world when the romance isn't always in the forefront of a romance story, and here, all the main cast are pretty dynamic in their own right (well, except for most of the villain side-characters ig).

It's clear the author is going to seriously explore the whole transmigration aspect to the story, rather than just hand-waving it away, bc the MC is alive in her "real" world and does manage to return against her will. The way the author dissects the MC's mental process as she struggles to find somewhere to belong and her fears in losing that place is being well written, imho.

And I quite enjoy the obstacles the main couple faces, even with the introduction of imprinting (bc it explores how harrowing such a feature is for everyone involved--take that, Twilight /jk).

Tbh, I'd be happier if the ML had more interests in things beyond the MC bc there's a lot of potential with his situation. But idk if we'll get to see it bc the MC also has a lot of different focuses the author is setting up for her and all of those look like a lot of fun to explore as well (I'm most interested in seeing more abt the MC's new family, particularly as the mom/dad/sis is set up to be fascinating bc of hints that things aren't so clear cut in the family dynamic--tho the other wives and half-siblings are rather one-dimensional).

Definite recommend for ppl interested in the whole transmigration into a magical world novel genre.

If you like waaaay overpowered, Deus ex machina type Mary Sue this is the story for you. I personally LOVE this type of character...except when they arbitrarily use their almost God-tier powers.

So she can create gold from literal air, and does it so often the former slave worried she was going to cause inflation all on her own. Yet, she can't create keys to the slave pens or the lock on the collar upon the slave's neck? There's zero indication that there's some kind of trap or puzzle or anti-magic anything on the locks or the collar either.

Oh, and she doesn't have a single thought of saving the slaves. It was, quite literally, brought up by the slave himself to destroy the slave system to its roots and she said NO. It's too much work.

Ugh. Nope. Not my kind of Mary Sue.

Good so far

As of ch. 10

This one is nice so far! The female lead has a good amount of sense, and while her powers are way strong they can't directly solve everything. The art is nice and the male leads are all decent boys so far too.
