The Transmigration Survival Guide Chapter v250 Discussion

First thing I noticed after reading a review by Rand0md*ck (thank for the generous username.-.) is that it is true that reviews whom rate this 3 stars and under barely read through this and more of skimmed through the story, only highlighting the characteristics of this story and calling this all bad as if they're the chapel's knight in holy glory shit.

But the thing about this story is that it would be mediocre without the cast of characters to have ABSOLUTELY NO TRAITS like cliche typical other-world novels. But of course, this isn't the only novel with s&m, dad-con, an one-slash maiden whom knows nothing else but killing. But what got me into this story was that these weren't overly done nor rushed into it as to say what a lot of novels do.

Protagonist died> for absolutely no reason to a typically lazy reason as they're the chosen ones and said protagonist gets a very basic yet ultimately world bending ability only exclusive to him/herself/ves> goes around the world after 10 chapters. Sound familiar? Though, in this novel the protagonist is given unknowingly the knowledge of language for the convenience of the plot which I'm fine with since he can't suddenly kill people with it and r*pe everything.

This novel is one of the few stories of which I would read alongside Dungeon Defense. The protagonist knows that he has to rely on others but also knows how to make use of modern psychology. From observing his environment and picking up clues to use to his own advantage Lin (the protagonist) uses his wit in compensation of his lack of background in the new world.

Review of the story itself, of course it will have spoilers but they ain't major plot points, just those supple details that the reviewers whom rated this low doesn't give a f*ck.

The Characters ; They build up through the story flow rather than being rushed into the plot as fan service, and well, except for the heroine of humanity who, after a traumatizing event in the past, lost her empathy in order to protect those in need, are very vivid. From rebels and deserters to to record-keeper who is actually a farmer and just wants to plant his crops in peace. Every characters introduced plays a part for the next sequence of the story or is shown to let the reader know such a character exist so it doesn't seem like they where pulled up from the author's ass for one scene.

The romance is uncertain but it has shown that the Heroine seems to be expressing more emotions after Lin has repetitively told her that the war is no more and she herself said she wanted to be a normal girl despite not knowing what normal is. (How can she if she lost her empathy? After-all, empathy of ourselves and others has proved that this is one of the things that makes humans different from animals.)

The kinky stuff like the yandere is more of a physiological thing from the young succubus child as one of many offspring of a powerful and tyrannical Overlord Demon she is the weakest as her power is well... And its doubtful that her power would even work on her own kin as it has written that she was neglected and was starving. The day she realized she finally have a figure whom would take care of her (The protagonist and his modern moral against violence against children), it was the same as having a literal loving father.

One thing you have to remember is that this is a world set in black and white. The strongest rules over all. And all the characters are grey, they can be influenced by either side for their own survival as how students have to study hard to get high grades or cheat and get them without being caught.

The action is minimal as how life in the post-war would be. Scattered and raw. The most far-reach regions of the human kingdom is in famine from the army stealing the food for the war, which of course is over, yet only care about getting home rather than spending their time caring for others. Modern morals doesn't exist and everyone is alive wants to keep living. This is where the main cast is. It's a bit dark when I sum it up like that but hey, there's also light moments once they settle onto their new home.

This novel is for a more mature audience whom are tired of the power-fantasy and teenage syndrome whom are untouchable as now-a-days snowflakes, want a harem of girls fast and nose bleed rivers at every b**b jiggle.

Bit late to say this but I personally enjoyed this novel and the comments between Wu Jizun and other readers under the story. ;)
