So far, in a sense, it's a better version of "Tr*sh of the Count's Family." They're the same in that if you just list out abstract descriptions of characters, they sound identical. But the plot is rather different, the motivation is different, and the pretext is different.What this did better (so far—and I'm not far) is that the "whys" of critical character settings and relationships actually make basic sense! For example, the TOTCF MC is a sickly and weak person who must to rely on special powers instead of magic or swordsmanship—even though he's actually perfectly healthy (???). Here, the MC is sickly and weak etc. because he's actually sick. In TOTCF, the MC has a loyal assassin butler... for no reason. It's just completely contrived and ridiculous. In this one, the butler was hired to assassinate the MC and the MC uses his transmigrator knowledge to trap him into a magical contract. Applause, it's actually trying!BTW, repeat after me. Having "a setting" is not the same as having "world-building." A setting is a basic, world-building is advanced. You probably mean "the setting" not "the world-building."
