I Woke Up as the Ugly Duckling · review

★
Top reader Jul 17, 2023 · 1 min read
5 /10

This isekai manhwa follows a woman reborn as a duke's daughter deemed ugly and fat. She decides to live life on her own terms instead of seeking her family's approval. Story: 5/10 The premise sets up a potentially interesting redemption arc. However, the execution is questionable so far. The MC effortlessly loses weight through magic, removing any meaningful struggle. Any conflict also gets resolved too neatly. Art: 5/10 The art style is unique but anatomy and proportions feel off at times. Panels can feel cluttered. I appreciate some cute outfits though. Characters: 4/10 The MC wants independence but remains somewhat passive. Supporting characters are very archetypal - strict dad, good sister,judgmental brother, etc.

Enjoyment: 5/10
It's a lighter read but hasn't drawn me in yet. The story lacks impactful conflict or character growth. But I may give it a few more chapters in case it improves.

The story has potential but needs to better develop meaningful struggles for the MC and supporting cast dynamics. As is, events feel too convenient and idealistic. But fans of isekai wish fulfillment with pretty clothes may still enjoy.
