Good intro volume to this series. I like the game aspects and the sass that the system gives. Very gun read waiting for more.

This book was given to me by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. The Perks of Being an S-Class Heroine might seem like a classic isekai at first glance, but it is so much more than that. Allie, the main character is spunky and smart. After her death, a magical insurance policy brings her to another world, where all of the light novels/web comics she read in her life have become the real worlds where she can be reincarnated. The fantasy realm where she reincarnates is one of the toughest ones, but she uses her knowledge of the light novel (that she had read in life) as well as the huge payout from her magical insurance policy to ensure her survival in this world. It's so fun and her internal monologues are pretty funny. The art is beautiful and the whole volume is in color! This is a great fun read! I can't wait till volume 2.

This is such a fun and cute story! It's so funny because it doesn't take itself too seriously and the main character is really likable. The art style is soo aesthetically pleasing and the world building is so interesting

This was such a fun book! It was so funny and I loved following Ailette's character around as she explored this new world. The entire concept is fantastic and I loved the interaction of prayers from Ailette to the Voice that Shapes the World.

This is so fun! I’m interested in seeing where this story goes! This is a transmigration isekai that has a fun story while also poking fun at the genre in a rather loving way. I’m impressed and would love to read the next volume.

Thank you to NetGalley and Yen Press for an early release copy of The Perks of Being an S-Class Heroine Volume One written by Irinbi and illustrated by Grrr.

I absolutely love the art style of The Perks of Being an S-Class Heroine, it’s very cutesy and I adore it, Ailette’s character design is my favorite by far, I also really like Bia’s character design. While reading I saved so many of Ailette’s scenes simply because they are very cute and aesthetically pleasing to look at.

The story in general is an interesting one, the leveling up system, learning skills, and the devoted follower aspects are interesting to read about. I enjoyed reading the scenes between Aliette and Prinz as well as the scenes between Aliette and Bianca. I hope In the other books we get some more scenes with Aliette’s Rodelines family, I’d would love some more family vibes. The scenes with Bianca were also some of my favorites, the doll scenes had a nostalgia feel to them and it was just funny in general to read. I could definitely see Bianca becoming a strong character, I would love to see her grow into a strong character and help support Aliette.

I love this series so far. I'm a sucker for found family - and in isekai 'new family' I suppose lol; girl besties, and The Chosen One tropes. Plus the comedy in this one isn't too out there and gives a good chuckle. The art and coloring is absolutely gorgeous.

2 Stars. This manga reads like a classic level up manga. The Perks of Being an S-Class Heroine is an isekai. Readers follow Ailette from her death into the transmigration waiting room where she picks a romantasy novel as her genre, thinking that’ll be the easiest story to transition into. Thanks to Ailette’s life insurance policy purchased shortly before her death, Ailette is able to level up quickly, which is very needed because this time loop story isn’t as easy to navigate as expected. The art in this was beautiful and I really enjoyed the color! That being said, I wasn’t particularly wow-ed by the story or the characters. There were humorous parts for sure and I think that this manga might be really appealing to mega fans of isekai stories. Thank you Yen Press, Ize Press, Irinbi, Grrr, and NetGalley for providing an eARC for review!

"The Perks of Being an S-Class Heroine" follows Ailette, a girl who is a woman who died in a previous life and was transported into a new world with new struggles. However, with the help of her insurance package and vast knowledge of her new world, Ailette becomes someone who shines and overcomes just about any obstacle. The scenes surrounding family are heartwarming, and the story makes me wish I could easily gain skills by leveling up too.

5/5

This book follows a recently deceased woman who had lived through a life of hardship but is sent to the afterlife where she has the chance to transmigrate into a story world. Lucky for her, she’s the first person to have (accidentally) chosen the complete insurance package. Unlucky for her, she is thrown into an S-Tier world, the most difficult setting. Transmigrated into the life of Ailette Rodeline, a poor servant’s daughter, she must now use everything gifted to her by the system to fight for the chance to live her second life.

This book is hilarious. And absurd. And so fun.
I was entranced! I read this so fast, I need more!! I can’t wait to see how the story progresses. I love that webtoons are getting published these days. There are so many good ones and this one caught me by surprise.

Did I mention it’s ALL in colour? Cry your heart out manga (disclaimer: I absolutely love manga and do not disrespect it in any way, this was clearly just a joke). The art style was consistent and cute. I loved the use of game pop-ups to represent the afterlife system. My favourite character is 100% the Voice that Shapes the World.

Now my problem is do I wait for the second volume to be published? Or do I go straight to webtoons and read it there?

I actually didn't end up finishing this one. It felt like a lot of the other isekai stories I have been taking in lately, and this one didn't offer me anything that I enjoyed better than the other series I'm enjoying. It's not bad by any means. I am just enjoying other series with similar plots more.

What a beautiful book! The artwork in this is absolutely gorgeous, it's worth reading just to see the images. Thankfully the story is also super unique and fun. I admit some parts are a little convoluted and understanding the rules of this specific type of afterlife gets a little muddled. But the story is exciting and funny and reads like a game which is just enjoyable. Ailette is a likeable and strong character and I found myself very invested in her growth. I really liked this one and will definitely read volume 2!

In this cute book, reincarnation is given an interesting twist as our titular S-Class Heroine is thrust into a world based on a time loop novel. However, she's not going to slog her way through the tutorial - she's managed to get a great set of perks as part of an insurance package. The comic has a very "meta" feel to it, with the main character continually breaking the fourth wall of her environment to access hidden system menus and character settings like she's holding the cheat codes to life. The art is lovely and the dialogue is fun. I did find the first bit of the story confusing, likely because of a few text formatting issues that made me miss some dialogue/exposition in the advance reader copy I was sent. However, the overall story came through clearly and the art style added to the experience. I received this book free from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

The Perks of Being an S-Class Heroine, Vol. 1 by Grrr was such a nice surprise, and I really enjoyed my time reading this one. It's an isekai manhwa (reincarnated into another world story) that follows a young woman sent into a servant child's body and she tries to survive in her new world by acquiring strong and useful abilities. I definitely want to read more after that ending!!! <3

NetGalley Review

Star Rating: ★★★★☆

Different take on a popular troupe. Glad I picked this one up and will definitely continue the series when I'm able.

Like always though, read it and decide for yourself

It’s been a long time since I’ve read something so fast paced and unique!!
This first volume definitely makes me think of the novel Ready, Player One. It combines basically a video game with real life and the main character falls into a novel. It’s such a unique idea that I flew through this volume and read it in one sitting. I am loving the plot and already want volume 2 after the cliffhanger!!

An interesting story about falling in love with beautiful drawings. I liked that the first volume is quite intense. It reminds me «Villains are destined to die”.

Ailette is the prodigy child in a noble's estate. Her father thinks she's destined to become an alchemist, The head chef wants her to become her apprentice. And the head maid thinks Ailette should be serving tea at the palace. It wasn't always like this though. Ailette's original fate was to mysteriously vanish after a demon attack, never to be seen again. That would have happened too if the gods hadn't discovered transmigration stories and Ailette's original self hadn't bought the ultra deluxe transmigration life insurance policy upon her death. Now Ailette is stuck in an S class transmigration world where everything exists inside a time loop. She must use her skills to keep herself and her companions alive.

The first volume of Being an S-Class Heroine is a great, slightly satiric transmigration story. If you are a fan of isekais, reincarnation stories, manga in which truck san sends the main character off into a new adventure, etc then you will probably love this. The art is great and the story is very self aware of what it is. The quality of the physical edition is also really good, which takes the sting out the inevitable higher price of these physically published manhua/webtoons.

A really cute start to an isekai! I really liked the concept of how she gets transported to the other world. It will be a really cute series!

I enjoy colour mangas and the art in this one is as in the cover - detailed, smooth, clear and expressive.
The concept of life insurance crosses RPG and being able to purchase skills is highly interesting.
Our protagonist is cute and curious, and the plot is dense with obstacles; mostly created by evil characters.
I am looking forward to the next volume especially because the pacing of this volume is not 100% for me as it establishes the concept and the characters.
All in all, a very cute, engaging and fun manga series installment.
