Exploring the World Within a World: A Review of ‘I’ve Transmigrated Into This Movie Before’

"I’ve Transmigrated Into This Movie Before" is a translated Chinese novel. Believe it or not, I get it—webnovels are often considered trash, but trust me, this one is a gem among the many poorly translated works. It offers a different world within a world, presenting multiple stories within the same novel.

If you ask what this novel is about, well, it's as the title says: our main character likes to hop into movies and live the life of the main character in each one. Unlike us, who simply watch movies and might be influenced by them a bit, she actually experiences everything the main character goes through, almost as if she’s living it herself. You could say we all do this to some extent when we watch movies, but here it's much deeper—she dies when the character in the movie dies, and she is heartbroken if the main character is heartbroken.

The novel offers an imaginative story that kept me interested in finding out what happens next. You go through emotions of horror, anger, sadness, curiosity, romance, and more. It’s worthwhile to read how our protagonist develops as the best actor while living through these movies.

I must say, the author has a real talent for storytelling. The characters and plots are well-developed—not just the main character, but others as well. Unlike many other web novels, this one isn’t black and white; it’s gray, just like our world. It’s a thriller, a suspense novel, and in a sense, a tragedy.
