This will be completely rewritten. After years of being away and then coming back to it, I can see a lot of errors, inconsistencies, and overall, poor management of characters in general. I know what I want to do with it still, but it will take a different shape now, hopefully making it more enjoyable rather than just frustrating. And above all, I will write what I want, instead of being so easily swayed by other people's opinions and demands again.
This piece will be left here as a gate to the past, but will no longer be updated.

Summary: When I recovered my memories, it was almost too late. Becoming a sacrifice for a void cause was definitely not among my first options upon remembering my past life. And this shonen manga was a lot happier and idealistic back then when I read it than it is now that I'm trapped here. As an extra no less. Why is everyone, hero or villain alike, so much of a pain? Give me back my stock-shonen manga! Give me back my freedom to remain as humanly away from the plot as I can!
What do you mean I changed the plotline and now I have to fix it? If the world needs protecting then leave it to the hero party, they saved everyone once, surely they can do it again without my help? No?
Tsk, alright, but only because if the world dies I will die as well. Definitely not because I want to become a main character or anything. I'm fine being an insignificant character so don't give me that look!
Who wants to become a stock-shonen protagonist anyway? Definitely not me!

In case someone hasn't noticed, the summary is meant to be sarcastic.
Warning: Frustrating story is frustrating. If you manage to finish the first arc without tearing your hair out and/or crying tears of blood from the sheer frustration, you are a god in human form. Also, story's set in late 18th/early 19th century.
The series is only at the beginning but it’s promising. We follow Elaine, a reincarnated person, as she tries to escape her fate as a shonen side casualty. Unfortunately her situation is critical and her resources inexistant, and she will have to rely on her wits to survive...

Damn, I literally came up with my title a couple days ago, 'Sorrow of the Extra' thinking I was gonna be original with that 'Extra' word in my title (Only in the Original Novels Section) and then I see this, lol. I got inspired by 'The Novels Extra' though. Thought I would be special :')
I'll read it and add a review soon.

A nice marriage between Shoujo and Shounen that works surprisingly well.

The MC is bad ass and one of my favorites and the characters are all not 2 dimensional and have their own reasons for everything.
The story is great, the writing is good, the grammar is amazing, and the spacing of the chapters is nice since instead of a chapter every few weeks or so, we get chapters a little faster than that.

I think this series is a rly unique Shoujo (uh Shonen in fact) with its own quirky writing style - one of my favourites on this site atm and I'm looking forward to more updates! ≪3
edit: holy moly this novel has come a long way since I initially did my review and we're already at the end of arc 1 with a lot more action, cliffhangers and enjoyable plot twists I didn't see coming!

This story is really amazing. I've been looking for a different reincarnated story and this suit my taste. I actually read it in wattpad and I tried searching it on google hoping that there's a continuition of arc2 2-7 but I'm really sad to see that there's still no new update from the author. I love the plot how it differently divert from the suppose plot. Elaine character is nice a typical headstrong FL but not too much which is good. I love Lucas character too! So sweet and innocent. Mathias is cool too he actually have the cliche ML dramatic background. And honestly, I want to ship him with Elaine but Lucas is good too. But then again I'll check out the new character first before deciding who will be my CP HAHAHAHAHA. So author-san please updateeee I wanna forget about my school assignment because its stressing me out and instead drown myself with this story! Help me cure my depressing self.

Lot of suffering but not enough deads.
*sad avenger noise
Seriously. This is really bad. You got this shounen worldbuilding that ignore reasonability and light novel style seriousness.
There are no foreshadowing, no lead for you to grasp future event, nor there is fullfill satisfied after thing gone to protagonists way. Horrible as both shounen and seinen light novel.

Love or Hate novel...
This novel show how you can be caught by a history in his first chapter, the author even didn't lost time explaing the world, we don't need really, we already know how a isekai world is after too many novels, but some people dislike that as well...
The progress of the history is slow, the author repeated the same problem with the same vilains for some few times in the Arc 1, this just looks like the author is without idea to what do with the history creating a small loop of cat and mouse...
Now (currently when I'm writing this) we're in the Arc 2, and looks like the history progress will keep slow and the author as well is doing updates very, but very slow, I personally hope he don't drop it, because is the first step to a drop, usually is a very slow progress.
