Hello everyone, Author-san here.
First off, let's address the elephant in the room. Why did I rate my novel 1 star?
The answer is simple.
With the abundance of 5-star reviews that one can easily get on webnovel, I believe it grabs way more attention when one does the opposite. But why would I need your attention on the review instead of the novel itself?
The answer is even simpler.
It's because this novel is NOT for you if you are looking for:
Get rich/powerful/handsome/quick/bulky/smart/whatever quick.
While I have one project like that in-store, this novel is something I put my best effort to write, and it would feel blasphemous and degrading for me to put a stupid plot here. So be advised, if you are looking for an easy self-insert with lots of snusnu, face slapping, and other overused plots, you found the wrong novel to read.
What does this novel entail then?
This time, there is no simple answer. When creating a plot for it (the first one I actually properly outlined ever since my "Road to the Crown" historical novel) I never wanted my MC to have it easy. I never wanted the main character to overcome all the troubles with the power of friendship or his biggus chungus.
I wanted this story to feel real, as much as real it can be within the frame of a fantasy.
What I wanted to show in this story, is a tough, gritty reality of what I believe would happen if someone were to actually transmigrate. While there is a certain amount of plot shield steeming from the deeper backstory that I will reveal early on, it's not something that comes without a cost. Once you reach the fourth chapter of the story and see what happens to the main character AFTER he uses the power he never put any effort to obtain, you should get the idea of how down to the business I am here.
In other words, if you are looking for a novel that takes human flaws without any cushioning, a novel that doesn't solve the main character problems just because he is the main character, a novel that's realistic to the bloody level yet unreasonable when it comes to the actions of the characters you don't yet understand, then allow me to present you with this piece, one that I have no qualms to call my masterpiece.
