The art in this graphic novel is THE best! It’s perfect for the story and it’s so well done!
The storyline is great too, it’s a mix of magic and paranormal, and mystery, and then there is the most awesome female MC who is such a well-written and well-told hero.

I love this story so much, I think I've read it two or three times already! I originally picked it up on the app Tapas, but I was thrilled to get the ARC from NetGalley so I could read it all at once. Ailette's story is so interesting and refreshing, a new take on the popular reincarnation trope with a unique twist. She's loveable and clever, and you can't help rooting for as she tries to save the world, her family, and herself. The worldbuilding is intense but easy to follow with lots of interesting characters, villains, and world history to give it a really fleshed-out feeling. I'm so excited for volume two, and can't wait to see where the story goes!

Summary:

Aliette Rodeline is not the name she was born with, but thanks to her untimely death, it's the name she now has! Luckily for Aliette, she invested in this weird afterlife package before she died, so she was able to set herself up quite nicely in the next life.

Now, she's becoming a prodigy, which might just give her the chance to turn her life around. For she knows that, without a change, her second life will be doomed to an early demise. After all, she's read this book, and her character was dead before the events began!

Review:

I love diving into new fantasies, and lately, I've been on an isekai kick. Thus, I was happy to find The Perks of Being an S-Class Heroine Vol. 1. I've actually read a bit of this one already (on Tapas, I believe), but it was nice to have a whole volume in my hands.

Like a lot of isekai (that I've been reading, at least), Aliette's previous life was tragic, even before she had that final tragedy. So this is more than a second life – it's a second chance. Her story has the potential to get superpowered, which could be great, or it could possibly go overboard. Only time will tell on that front.

I really enjoyed seeing the early adventures in this new world for Aliette, especially pertaining to her family and the small drams she's faced thus far. It'll be interesting to see what happens next.

Will I continue the series? Yes

This full color graphic novel with the most gorgeous illustrations, made it to my favorites so fast!!! Thank you so much Yen Press, Ize Press and NetGalley for allowing me to read and review The Perks of Being an S-Class Heroine!!! This is a series I will be buying physical copies of too, it’s just too good and too beautiful!! I can’t wait to read the next volume which releases in August! I’m even excited just to write this review about it xd so yeah definitely a favorite I really enjoyed reading <3!

Something strange is going on in the real world.. Because of an error (the Gods are hilarious by the way and gave me Good Omens vibes!), the Gods who create new worlds, are making people’s souls transmigrate to these worlds too soon.. We follow a beautiful, smart and strong pink haired girl called Ailette, who used to be a woman with an awful life :’(, when she ends up in one of these worlds. I honestly got a little emotional when I saw her finally having a loving family there <3. She’s the daughter of a servant (an alchemist) at a mansion but ooofff there are some awful characters there too.. Like some of the other servants and the Duke’s son. And there are mysteries (like how can she help the actual protagonist to save the world :o) and there also might be a dungeon with demons developing under the mansion... The daughter of the duke was great tho, she reminded me of Wednesday!! Ailette does get some skills from the Gods which make her popular with some and envied/hated by others and she might also accidentally start a religion :’D worshipping one of the funny Gods. Okay I think I told enough. This is a strong, funny and super engaging story in the most beautiful packaging!

Thank you to Netgalley for allowing me to read a digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This is my first time reading an isekai manhwa. I ended up really enjoying it. The main character was funny and relatable and the story was clever. Can't wait to read more of this series and get to know more of the characters!

Something about this just clicked for me. The art of beautiful, the humour is funny, but there's a real spark of soul here that can't be denied.

I requested The Perks of Being an S-Class Heroine, Vol. 1 on the off chance that it would be something short and sweet I could consume quickly. Really genuinely wasn't expecting to be hungry for a second volume and to have my heart actually ache over this goofy concept.

It's another isekai, yeah. In a time where we're all thinking "another isekai," this one really does do something neat with the idea. Main character dies. Insurance corgi offers her a chance to choose where to spend her afterlife. That choice is immediately denied and she is sent into the body of a pink-haired child who is totally destined to die immediately.

But she doesn't.

This is a grown woman, with the experience earned living a real life, dying too young, with so much potential and energy left to give. And she's got the highest possible insurance package, which basically means she has cheat codes for her story. Power ups, skill trees, quest rewards, you name it. And she's genuinely determined to make something of this world she's been placed in. Even if she has to start out as a little kid. She'll be a child prodigy, then, working to help her family and make strong friendships for herself.

Really, go give this a try. It's great.

⬇️very minor spoilers from first chapter⬇️

Firstly, the reviews for this one are overwhelmingly positive, and I absolutely agree that the artwork is beautiful. This will most likely be a glossy print, lol. And of course, thanks to NetGalley and Yen/IZE Press for the eARC ~

After dying, she gets sent to the transmigration waiting room and picks “childcare romantasy novel” as her genre, thinking that’ll be the easiest. I mean, are we reading the same genres?? Doesn’t that usually mean she’s going to get abused for years by some evil count or something? The obvious answer is comforting the cursed/warlord/traumatized duke of the north. At least she got insurance, I guess. 🤷‍♀️

Regardless of her questionable transmigration genre choices, I did really enjoy her character. This story isn’t particularly unique compared to other transmigration novels; however, what sets it apart is that it’s just well done. From the humor, art, dialogue, translation, and more—everything is executed beautifully.

After I finished reading, I really wanted the next volume. It’s not like it ended on some huge cliffhanger; it was just weirdly addicting.

Although this isn’t my favorite genre, it is indeed the perfect gift for my sister. This is the perfect book for younger kids interested in manhwa/manga. It says recommended for 13+, and I think that’s accurate.

*Blog post scheduled to post on June 12th~

The art and writing in this book gives a hilarious tone to the story, while also touching on darker topics, such as the protagonist suffering from abuse at the hands of family members during her childhood. She's given another chance at life, but this time with some extra perks! I love the depiction of the Transmigration Staff "gods" as little pop-up boxes in a game, as it adds to the atmosphere.

The Perks of Being an S-Class Heroine is about a woman who dies and gets transmigrated into the body of a young girl from a book she previously read.

I have read a lot of isekai/transmigration books, but I thought this one was such a fun take on it! I love the Voice that Shapes the World and their interactions with Allie. I also can’t wait to see how Allie’s relationships grow with her father and brother.

This was a really cute, fun read and I can’t wait to see what skills Allie levels next.

I loved it! The cover is adorable.

I enjoy reading transmigration stories where systems are present in the plot and the character has to survive with the skills they gain. There's a webcomic version of this and I think I'll continue where I left off because I'm intrigued. The art style is cute and love that her hair is pink.

Volume 2 would definitely be worth the read. Volume 1 was good!

My daughter devoured this book. She kept stopping her reading to tell me about the book character and what was happening. She loves manga stories, but it is hard to find them that are appropriate for tweens. This one fit!

The cover and blurb sounded super exciting, so I had to immerse myself in the story. the plot is incredibly well implemented, although the idea itself is not necessarily new. I had a lot of fun with the transmigration trope. All in all, an exciting, captivating story. The only thing that was a bit annoying was the watermarks on the pages. However, I understand why it has to exist. I can only recommend the story.

A great start to a transmigration manhwa series. People who have taken a new transmigration insurance meet untimely deaths and are assigned to new worlds to their choises, usually their favourite book, created by transmigration gods for them. The main character wants to go to a world where she is a cherished child of a good family. Instead, she ends up as a ten-year-old Ailette in a world that is destined to be destroyed by dungeons. Her fate is to die young.

That won’t do. Luckily, her insurance comes with great perks that allow her to improve her skills almost infinitely, though not immediately. She’s on an introduction phase and it should be easy for her. But gods are fickle.

I liked this a lot. Illustrations were beautiful and the pace was good. Ailette is still a child, but her fates improve almost daily with the help of her skills. She gains a family and a friend as she prepares for the future trials. Bad people are truly bad, and most of them meet suitable ends. The first volume ends with her gaining an excellent skill that’ll be helpful once the actual story of her book starts. I’ll have to read more to find out what will happen.

Review to come mid-June to blog/goodreads.

I received this book from Netgalley/the publisher in exchange of an honest review.

I was just so hyped when I spotted this one over at Netgalley! I saw it promoted on Twitter and I just knew instantly that I would love this one and that I needed it in my life. I just LOVE a good isekai! I just love manga about characters who get a second chance at life... in a book they read. I am already thinking what book I would end up in, haha, given the variety of stuff I read? Mm, I think I would love to be part of Gail Carriger's world!

On to this book! As is always the case, one has to die before one gets reincarnated, so that is what happens to our MC as well. But before she dies she is able to purchase the ultimate insurance package before she dies. And yes, that is apparently a thing. Though I would recommend, given where our MC ends up in, maybe not the full package? I mean, on the one hand we learn she has all sorts of cool deals and fancy stuff that she gets, but on the other hand she is in an S-Class story (and one with a loop), meaning that she is kinda screwed. All the MC wanted was just go to a normal easy story filled with family and love. I don't blame her, she had a crappy life and you don't want your next life to be one of trials, of possible deaths, of making sure that everything goes well.

But our MC, now known as Ailette Rodeline, is doing all she can to survive. And I guess despite landing here due to the ultimate insurance package, the insurance package is also helping her out a ton. She has access to level-ups, fancy upgrades, can buy things in the story, can activate some cool things, and oh yes, best of all and HECK I need that in this life, access to a library with ALL the books she has legally bought and read with addition bonus of all the books she is reading in this life. I mean, YES. All those fancy upgrades are good and all, but a library like this? Wins in my books (get it). I will just hide there. Haha. Plus, it solves one thing that I always had my head scratching in other books like this, people are transported to a book they know, but some of them haven't read the book in years or cannot remember all the deets, what is next? But in this world, thanks to this upgrade you can just pick up the book and read it. Get all the deets. Make sure you get all your dates ready. Of course, it is not a fail-proof thing, because there are things NOT mentioned in the books, like what happens to Ailette at a certain point. But hey, at least you got an idea of what is going to happen.

I loved seeing Ailette try to figure out which route to take. Which loop she is in. Change how she is viewed in the eyes of others. Oh, and start a quest that leads her to make a new religion (teehee) and become the first follower of a god (whose conversations pop up at times and which I absolutely loved seeing pop up in special text bubbles). A lot of people would have possibly given up when they encounter such a difficult thing + the whole well you are going to die or x and y is going to die (aka depressing), but she just keeps going. Thinks of skills she could use and buys upgrades. She kicks some serious butt and I was so rooting for the girl.

Oh, and did I mention next to loops, death, and more there is also something else? In this world there are dungeons just popping up. Killing people. People disappearing. And oh yes, one of those is meant to appear right where Ailette and the cast is? Yup. And we get to see such a dungeon later on in the story. I won't tell you what happens, but dang that was exciting! I was on the edge of my seat wondering how our MC would get out of this one!

There are also other people in this world, like Ailette's brother, her alchemist dad, the countess/mistress of the house, the evil son of the mistress (who can just rot for all I care), the daughter who kept trying to make friends, but um, she is a bit different with some play stuff. I really liked the big cast of people and I loved meeting more people. I was worried at first when we met the daughter of the mistress, but she really turned out to be an OK character. I wonder if she will stay like this, I am hoping. Ailette could use a friend in all of this.

The art is so pretty and I love the designs of the characters.

All in all, let me wrap this one up because this one has gotten quite long! This was a really fun reincarnation/isekai manga and I cannot wait to read more of it! I am curious what is next for Ailette and if she will be able to beat this loop/game and get her happily ever after! I would recommend this one to all!

I actually started reading this series on Tapas awhile back, so, it's fun to see it be in print! Stories like this one are fairly common on certain platforms. MC dies and is reincarnated into the last game or novel they were engaging with. The fun trick with this one is our MC bought a fancy upgrade before she switched worlds, so she has unbeknownst to her, gained the ability to change her characters life, and those around her through more or less EXP boosts. It's a fun concept and the art is charming. It's just a fun read. I love seeing more manhwa titles like this one out in the wild!

I loved this so much! A beautiful, adorable manga that ties my favorite hobbies together - reading and gaming. I can’t wait to continue this series.

I loved everything about this, from the storyline, to the art, the expressions on their faces. It was a really fun read! I cant wait for the rest of this!
It's got me hooked

i loved this so much <3 the art is stunning, her family is SO CUTE i want nothing to happen to them may they only experience happiness 😤

Thank you to Netgalley for a copy for an honest review

I liked ‘ The Perks of Being an S-Class Heroine’ it was fine I will probably pick up volume 2 to read,

Stars 3 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I loved this! It was a sweeter, cuter, funnier take on the gaming iseaki genre! Kind of reminded me of Solo Leveling, just more light!
