Bottom Line Up Front: This is a really well-written series that reads more like a proper novel. However, it is now licensed by Yonder and the translator was DMCA'd so good luck trying to read this.Details: First off, this is well-written and uses the medium well like a proper novel. The author helps us get into the heads of the characters and exposition is limited with information being conveyed organically. This is very much the author doing a good job of "showing, not telling."As for what drives the story and makes it interesting, it is a mix of plot dynamics and character dynamics. The MC transmigrated into a third-rate extra that should've left the stage in the prologue but doesn't for his own survival. His mere presence causes a butterfly effect that gradually creates more deviations in the plotline, which require his intervention. This creates a looping butterfly effect that over time threatens to cause the plotline to spiral out of control to a potential bad end.Side characters are relatively fleshed out with their own internal dilemmas. Their interactions and dynamics with the MC are done well and done subtlely. They are also also an important part of the butterfly effect. The MC is likeable and goes from weak to strong as he struggles to survive. The MC is the determined and focused type here.Overall, it's hard to do justice for the plot dynamics and character dynamics by mere summary. What really makes this series good is the execution and good writing.Unfortunately, most will probably need to drop this series now as the translator was DMCA'd a few days ago. The series has been licensed by Yonder, which means micro-transaction hell. Supposedly their translations of this are also inferior to the fan translation.
