The Transmigration Survival Guide

The author, known for their work on "Oh no! After I Reincarnated, My Moms Became Son-cons!", continues to captivate readers with their love for yandere and intricate family dynamics. This latest offering begins with a father and daughter relationship, adding an Isekai twist to the mix. The protagonist initially believes himself unlucky due to lacking any extraordinary powers or advantages (though there might be hidden potential yet to be revealed), and because of a significant event following his reincarnation.

The story promises a mother figure, or possibly multiple, entering the protagonist's family, setting the stage for potential conflict and competition. The daughter is revealed to be of a non-human race, carrying a dark backstory befitting her kind. Two additional female characters, both humans, have been introduced by the fifth chapter – one is a domineering ruler with a sadistic edge, while the other is a skilled warrior with a kind heart, though their full potential remains to be seen.

For fans of the author's previous works, this series holds Easter eggs, making it a must-read. If you enjoy stories centered around yandere and the dynamics between women, this electrifying new series should definitely pique your interest!

The protagonist in this story is an individual who lacks physical prowess but possesses remarkable wit, enabling him to thrive in an unfamiliar environment. The supporting cast is lively and engaging, with their romantic interests often displaying a charming blend of yandere or possessive traits, adding an enjoyable dynamic to the narrative.

"You can only embark on this novel if you relish in an unusual reading experience. The description lacks coherence, leaving readers with a disconnect from the actual story, exemplified by Wu Jizun's portrayal. The protagonist appears adolescent, but even worse, he derives pleasure from having others step on his head, and is reduced to a slave, humiliated publicly. Despite its intriguing premise, the main character's despicable nature renders the book unpalatable for me, compelling me to abandon it."

Firstly, let's clarify that our protagonist doesn't have a succubus daughter or a warrior mom. Initially, he becomes entangled with these two characters due to the cruel and evil queen's manipulation. Sent to a remote village, Veirya, the "warrior mom," assumes the role of the lord. She's essentially the hero of humanity, defeating the demon king in the first chapter.

The comparison to "Release That Witch" might be drawn, as both involve a transmigrated MC placed in a desolate area seeking to improve their situation. However, the similarities end there. The MC in this story lacks power, relying on Veirya's authority as she's the hero, lacking emotions and treating him more like a pawn. Veirya's one-dimensional nature as a cold, sword-wielding killing machine often leads to comedic misunderstandings and messes, which the MC tries to rectify.

Throughout the narrative, the MC struggles to manage Veirya's impulsiveness and clean up her aftermath, often being dismissed or mistreated despite his efforts. Then, there's the "yandere succubus" character, whose existence solely serves as fan service, with numerous instances of sexual innuendo and physical interactions that detract from the story.

While "Release That Witch" excels in uplifting the lives of villagers, this story falls short in comparison due to the MC's lack of agency and the unnecessary addition of the yandere succubus character who贴近 the MC romantically. In the end, it's a mixed bag with some aspects better in one story and others in the other.

The novel began decently, but towards the end, when the queen's rescue arc was supposed to occur... it completely fell apart. It deviated from the original storyline without any warning or side chapters, focusing abruptly on the queen fawning over the protagonist. I had hoped for some emotional depth with the emotionless main character (FMC) and the uninterested adopted daughter. Frankly, I wouldn't recommend this book. If you enjoy an MC pursuing an unattainable FMC despite a harem tag and a plot that's so convoluted it might make you want to ditch your reading device, then feel free to indulge in this poorly executed story. 😞

The author should take responsibility for the quality of this novel. If you're reading it, I recommend improving your understanding of writing. Believe me, this work is far inferior to Japanese light novels; it doesn't even come close to being engaging. The main character's unhealthy preoccupation with love is a major issue. It seems that Chinese authors often strive to make their protagonists relatable and human-like in their behavior, but they must learn to distinguish between likable characters and intellectually superior beings.

To be honest, I'm really enjoying this, and I think I'll continue to do so even after the translation is complete. The main character doesn't have any extraordinary abilities or cheat-like powers compared to other novels. Instead, he's relatable and grounded, which I appreciate. What he does possess, though, is something that can't be bought: determination and resilience.

He's rewarded with a sweet lolita and a devoted wife who's unaware of his feelings. However, it's understandable that he might struggle with the moral implications when faced with intimate situations, like women undressing or his daughter's attraction. It's a realistic portrayal of the challenges that come with such circumstances.

What I like about this novel is the balance of world-building, everyday life elements, character growth, and subtle hints at certain themes. Some people might find the main character's hesitation to act on certain relationships off-putting, but that's part of what makes the story unique and engaging. It's not about the lack of action; it's about the development and consequences of his choices.

Comparing it to other stories, imagine if Kirito from Sword Art Online didn't hesitate with his harem, or if the Infinite Stratos protagonist took advantage of his relationships. The story wouldn't be the same without those character traits. In fact, it would become predictable and boring.

Furthermore, how often do you come across a story with a strong kuudere (aloof) character without the typical dere element? This aspect adds depth to the narrative.

I'd rate it 6 out of 5 and wouldn't mind staying up late for more. Now, regarding the early reviews – it seems unfair that those who read only a few chapters decided the book negatively. Remember, suspension of disbelief is crucial in enjoying a story. So, just sit back, relax, and enjoy the journey.

It's incredibly frustrating how the main character behaves like a woman, being overly emotional and cowardly at times. He seems more feminine than masculine, panicking and running away, especially when there's any physical contact with Veirya. This constant display of vulnerability has left me feeling unsatisfied and disappointed throughout the story. I started reading expecting a gentle, heartwarming tale, only to discover it was actually a hidden, intense NTR plot. Now, I'm left with a sour aftertaste, as the damage is done and can't be undone.
