First of all I would like to apologise to the publisher, artist, and story writer, because I did read this wonderful story but for some reason did not remember to leave the due feedback until just now. "The Perks of Being an S-Class Heroine" is a cute, incredibly fun and lovely-to-look-at first installment in a YA manhwa series with child prodigy Ailette as the main character, whose incredible track record with cooking, tea-making and even the lost art of alchemy comes from her being a "transmigrator", Since she's aware of her quickly-approaching fate, Ailette decides that she's not going to sit around and dwell on her misery when she could try to change things - which is exactly what she does!

Something I always look forward to in stories is the found family trope, since I genuinely believe that we are becoming increasingly lonely and could always use a reminder that your family doesn't end, or even start, with blood - instead it's the people who love you fiercely. In this manwha Ailette finds a new family despite how potentially painful it might be to lose them later, since she's stuck in a time loop and thus fated to part ways with them time and time again, and I was FERAL about the way they loved each other and cared so much even if they weren't meant to stay together for long. Hopefully we'll keep getting that in future additions to the story, because I thought it was really well done and executed in a beautiful way!

Another aspect I loved to see was the gaming-like vibe to the story and art, since it felt really upbeat and made me happy. There was something wholesome about TPOBASCS that just made me smile really often as I turned the pages, which is most definitely a good sign! Gotta love me so much pink, teehee. The ending most definitely piqued my interest, because the premise regarding the time loop plus the little details that have been dropped here and there regarding where the story might go next were really intriguing, and I'll make sure to keep reading the series!!

So in love with the artwork and cozy stories beyond the line!! Definitely the book for one-sitting only and those who look for something light to read!!

I would definitely recommend this if you're looking for an isekai that has a heroine who is witty and smart as well as having a "gaming" and dungeon aspect that is deeply influencing the story

I loved this Manga. It was funny and a bit lighthearted. I enjoyed the art style and I look forward to reading more volumes.

This was a fun, cosy read with a likeable main character and I had a great time with it.

I would recommend this mainly to those who have experience reading both manhwa/manga and webcomics, specifically Isekai and transmigration stories. It's a very meta story which deliberately uses and references popular tropes in a fun way.

I would definitely like to get my hands on volume two sooner rather than later.

📚 "The Perks of Being an S-Class Heroine, Vol. 1" is an absolute delight that perfectly blends isekai elements with cozy game mechanics. The story follows a young woman who, after an unexpected death, finds herself reborn into a fantasy world thanks to an unusual afterlife insurance policy. What makes this manga truly special is its unique approach to the genre - our protagonist can purchase skill packages that help her develop throughout the story, creating an engaging RPG-like progression system.

🎨 Art & Design
The artwork is absolutely stunning, with beautiful color schemes and character designs that are a feast for the eyes. The world-building is charming and immersive, making you feel like you're playing a cozy video game while reading.

😄 Humor & Storytelling
The comedy elements, especially the interactions with the gods who are obsessed with web comics and games, add a refreshing layer of humor to the narrative.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Characters & Relationships
While the protagonist's abilities might make some conflicts resolve too easily, the manga compensates with its heartwarming family dynamics and delightful slice-of-life moments. The story particularly shines in its portrayal of found family, addressing the protagonist's desire for familial bonds that she lacked in her previous life.

⭐ Final Verdict
Rating: ★★★★★

💝 A must-read for fans of isekai manga who enjoy cozy vibes, beautiful artwork, and clever gaming mechanics integrated into storytelling.

I love, love, love this! The artwork is beautiful. The story is interesting, exciting, and funny. As soon as I finished this volume, I picked up the next one. I couldn’t put the story down! I have already recommended this to multiple people.

When an average girl is hit by a truck, she is reincarnated as a child named Ailette Rodeline. This first novel shows her getting used to her new world, friends and skills. I loved this story! The drawing style and the colors were perfect, the story was a great intro into the world. I will definitely read more of these books in the future. I loved the scenes with her family and with Bianca. I enjoyed the class/religion system and can't wait to see where this isekai takes it!

Thank you netgalley and Yen Press for the arc in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you for allowing me to read an ARC copy of this book!! I loved this story so much!! I can’t believe I had t heard of it before!!! I want to read so much more!!

I love the MC’s personality and Bia’s as well, I like that they get transported into a story and they have access to the entire library of books they’ve read.

Umm... I need more of this manhwa please. Why would you leave me hanging like this 🥺

These past few months, I've read a couple of Isekai manhwas and I must say The Perks of Being an S-Class Heroine is refreshing to read in this sub-genre of fantasy. It has a new take on transmigration and is very much structured like a video game. Furthermore, I love the art style... Ailette is SO CUTE omg I would adopt her as my young sister right this instance. Not just her, but her brother and father too are so cute!

Even for Volume 1, which consists of only the first 18 chapters of the manhwa, I would say there are significant things happening in the story and the character arc is also going smoothly. I'm waiting with bated breath to read the rest of the manhwa!!!

3.5 ⭐️
Didn’t hate it. Didn't love it. Would still read others in the series. It was a little bit juvenile in the writing for my liking but the story itself is still good. I enjoyed the way Ailette maneuvered her new role in this new world.

I thought the art for the story was fantastic and they did a great job in portraying the scenes of the story!

The Perks of Being an S-Class Heroine, Vol. 1 is an absolute delight! If you love OP protagonists, hilarious misunderstandings, and a fantasy world that just can’t keep up with its main character, this is the book for you.

From the moment Ailette Rodeline wakes up in her new body, it’s clear she’s on another level. Her old world’s magic was leagues ahead of this one, so while everyone else is struggling with basic spells, she’s casually flexing god-tier abilities like it’s nothing. The sheer shock of those around her? Priceless. I couldn’t stop grinning as she effortlessly turned the tables on every obstacle in her path.

The pacing is snappy, the humor lands perfectly, and Ailette’s confidence makes her such a fun character to follow. While the side characters could use a bit more development, their reactions alone had me entertained the whole time. It’s one of those books that doesn’t take itself too seriously, making it a joy to read.

Overall, this is the kind of light novel that’s perfect for when you want something fun, fast-paced, and full of laugh-out-loud moments. I had a blast reading it and can’t wait for the next volume!

A huge thank you to @yenpress and @netgalley for the ARC—this was such a fun ride!

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for the ARC!!

In terms of reincarnation/isekai stories, this one is really good. It's different from other ones where the main character is thrown into a new world and doesn't know why. This story has a whole system and background for "transmigrators". The main character is overpowered compared to all the other characters, but this book makes that a comedic plot point. I really liked the character development and plot for this first volume.

(As the story progresses though in future volumes, I think it gets a bit too dramatic and complicated with all the time loops.)

I love that this is all in-color. The illustrations / graphics were stunning.
The story was easy to follow. The characters were... mostly likeable.
The storyline was just okay for me though. I'll probably grab the next in the series just to give it another go though.

I may be the odd one out here but I was not a fan. While I enjoy the stunning artwork and the fact that it is in color, the story just didn’t do anything for me. I found the characters to be a little annoying and the story a tad hard to follow.

i really loved reading this!! the main character is so interesting to read about, but i feel like i still need a bit more time to get into the story. while it did grip my attention after the first 10 chapters, it wasn't enough for me to read it over 3 stars yet. i do plan to continue this manhwa now though because i'm definitely intrigued!!

thank you to netgalley and yen press for the arc!!

Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for letting me read this book!

This book is great! A woman who is accidentally killed before her time to be transported to another world finds herself transmigrated as a servant’s child in a world where there are new dungeons opening up everywhere spontaneously! It’s fast paced and the main character is fun and intelligent.

I freaking LOVED this manga! It was so much fun and the characters all had such entertaining personalities. Ailette is absolutely the star of this show. I love how she ended up gaining the admiration of everyone around her. Her level of sass was unmatched 😂 The backstory was interesting and quite sad, but it was so fun to read about her life in the web-novel world. The art style is great, and I loved the details around the Voice of the World text bubbles. They were very expressive. I will definitely be continuing with this series. Highly recommend!

Ailette Rodeline, a child prodigy with a secret weapon as a transmigrator, faces a brutal time-loop novel. With an insurance package, she needs help to survive and prove herself an S-class heroine, despite her top-tier support system and item shop.

First of all, the illustrations were stunning! This, alone, caught my eye. I was not too familiar with portal world manga, but this story does a pretty good job for a noob like me. The story was easy to follow and I'm genuinely interested in picking up the next volume.

Thank you to NetGalley and Yen Press | Ize Press for the opportunity to read an Advanced Reader's Copy (ARC) in exchange for my honest opinion and review.

An adorable and funny comic complete with detail pastel art that you can peacefully enjoy! (And definitely project your desires to be reborn into a childcare romantasy novel too lol) One of my favorite manga reads of the year, and will definitely be reading more!
