Review Detail of CailinMatthews in Villain Transmigration: Author Transformation

Hai hai! Here we have my review for Chapters 1 to 5 because that is my standard for first impressions on a novel. Fair warning to everyone, the progress is slow in these chapters so it might not be your cup of tea. I will do another review for Chapter 6 to 10 in order to compare and give a more accurate opinion about the pacing. One thing I commend about the writer is the world-building and character introductions in these chapters. Nathalie is a lavish woman. She also knows what she wants and she won't compromise if it's really what she believes in--which is definitely something to admire. There's a trail of breadcrumbs for the readers to be immersed with curiosity about what is coming next. Nothing is a coincidence from what I have seen--despite how it's being played out as a normal day (with a little drama) in the life of Nathalie. As a writer, I am curious about what direction she's taking her novel into and how it will play out. Of course, I look forward to the part where she transmigrates into it. Hehe. I appreciate this background on her before the anticipated event so I can get to know her and see how much development there is in store. So kudos to author-sama for that! One criticism I have is the dialogues. It's not a major concern since the story will have fantasy elements but I currently don't find them natural with the modern urban setting in these chapters. Like I said, they are more appropriate for fantasy settings which is where the story is leading to. But I do think having a simple and straightforward type of dialogue in the modern setting is another way to distinguish the two types of worlds in the story.
