Let’s stop the blackening of the tyrant.

Initially the plot for Preventing The Making Of A Tyrant feels weak and overused.
We’ve seen the plot done multiple times before, often with better success.
Although I do appreciate reading a good reincarnation story, this one just feels like it’s lacking on many levels. It’s cliché from start to finish, including characters, plot and execution (literally).
I’m not sure I feel sympathetic towards the female lead, despite the creators’ best attempts. So overall, not a good story in my eyes. There’s just so many of these stories out there with a tyrant falling for the female lead they’re basically all the same.
Not to mention, there’s animal-humans in this story, but not all humans are like that, either. Which is just a wild thing to randomly toss into a story and expect it to just “work” because it’s fantasy.
Final thoughts: Not worth checking out. It’s quite boring and predictable.
