Mark me down as intrigued.I do however agree with the previous review that the transmigration aspect of this novel plays absolutely no part, at least so far. Just another case of the author shoehorning that plot beat in just so they can use that buzz word to attract more readers. Without that, the flow of the story would honestly make more sense, where you have a timid and shy young woman trying to survive in a society where women have certain expectations placed upon them, but when you throw in the context of her having transmigrated from our more modern society, then things start to feel a bit more questionable.However, I'm capable of suspending my disbelief to that extent so it's not that bothersome, at least to me personally. I quite enjoy more demure FLs, so I jumped at this one the second I saw it. I'm at a point where I'm basically ignoring the transmigration aspect, at least until it actually starts to take an effect on the plot. As of right now though, it's essentially pointless.With that being said, it's obvious the author drew inspiration from <Pride and Prejudice> and while it's implied that's the novel she transmigrated into, the author wrote it as <Prejudice and Pride>, so there's honestly a chance it's more an allusion to the classic novel than a full on reference, but I won't deny that many character names are pulled directly from Jane Austen's work. The writing itself is also very familiar, being more flowery and poetic than most web novels which are usually just single line paragraphs; no doubt the translator flexing their chops in the regard (kudos to them).I'll hold off on the rating for now because we're still very much in the early chapters. Nothing that was described in the summary has happened yet, and considering I was drawn in by the prospect of her getting kidnapped, I feel like I can't adequately judge this novel until we get there and I see it play out.
