Dani is a fan of cliché-filled internet novels of melodramatic school romance, then wakes up one day to find the world around her has become one! Just as she’s getting used to this tropey world, she suddenly finds herself back in her old, ordinary one. What happened to all her new friends?

A gorgeous heroine, handsome boys vying for her attention, and a best friend at the heroine’s side. Dani, an ordinary student and avid reader of internet novels, is all too familiar with these tropes. But she never imagined that she’d wake up at the center of one right at the start of a new school year!

Determined not to fall prey to the plot line, she does her best to avoid fateful encounters with tall, good-looking boys, but its not as easy as she hopes. Dani might not be destined to be a supporting character. In fact, she just might be the heroine!

The Review

Let me tell you, I was pleased as punch when the publisher approved my early access to this graphic novel because I loved volume 1 of My Life As An Internet Novel. Since Dani was pulled into her favorite light novel, things have taken quite the turn. What started with fear and uncertainty has become Dani’s day to day life. She has made good friends, and started to feel at home. Which is exactly when this newest volume decides to take things even further off the rails.

In this installment, we also finally get to see the idea that Dani might not actually just a supporting character really start to take off. No spoilers here, but it was executed in such an adorable way. Like the light novel that came before it, this graphic novel really shows how much Dani has blossomed and grown into her new place in the world. Of course, once she thinks she’s finally got everything figured out there are roadblocks thrown in her way. After all, what could be more fitting?

To be sure, this volume is a lot darker than the first one. Adapting this to a graphic novel format means that things have to happen a bit quicker than normal, and so we’ve fast forwarded quite a bit. Dani is now faced with the concept that her new friends could be ripped away from her at any moment. Her character is understandably a lot more quiet and reserved because of this. It broke my heart to imagine years of friendship erased in the blink of an eye, with only our main character left to remember everything. Still, I think the authors did a great job of balancing this out with a good bit of lightness too. The strong friendships that were showcased here really made my heart sing and, true to form, there are some seriously giggle worthy panels.

I genuinely enjoyed this, and I eagerly await volume 3! After the ending of this one, I’m on the edge of my seat. I simply can’t wait to see where things go next.
