A review by itslorei
Barbi & the Villain by Veronica Lancet

2.0

EDITED (CHANGED MY MIND): So as I was in deep thought and went over the points. I decided to settle with 2⭐️. Because:

1. I wanted a dark way of telling the story? 
2. The writing was once again cringe, and I think the story deserved better writing than what this one presented.
3. Because of said issue, the potential was somehow wasted. 


Overall, again— I think this could have been better. It was promising, but I don't think I could rate this higher than 2⭐️, despite my intrigue at the end. Thank you, author, for the e-arc opportunity.

Isekai comic concept and let met tell you how exactly this book is like that in telling the story.

Obviously, I liked the concept, the premise, and even the plot. I'm really intrigued about it, especially what happened at the end, and of course, after reading the MMC's p.o.v. I'll definitely be watching out for the 2nd one.

My main issue of this book is how it's told. I'm not really a fan of it, and I think I would have enjoyed it more if the writing was told in a novel like voice and not how the way Isekai comic way. I find it cringe at times and really took away my like scale. Although there are parts that I find enjoyable, I just hope it was more in a novel like told.

Other than that, I also find the FMC's voice irritating at times, probably because of how the story is told, so that's that. 

As for the romance, I think it wasn't really fleshed out in a way that I liked. So to say, I'm 50/50.

There are a set of other intriguing characters and developing plots, so I'm really expecting more and intrigued how the next one would deliver. I just hope that the voice of the storytelling would be better.
