Description
A train trip taken to escape reality. “Is this a dream…?” The moment he came to his senses, it seemed he had somehow entered the fantasy novel he was reading just moments ago. What’s more, he possessed the body of an extra who wasn’t even mentioned by name in the original work! ‘Does this make any sense?!’ Before the man could properly gather his wits, the original story had already begun. The man, now “Nathan Nover,” strives to survive the original story’s events that will unfold in 3 years and tries to establish a connection with the original protagonist… *** “What are you doing there?” Fortunately, it wasn’t backlit. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have quickly noticed who the boy standing in front of him was. Golden hair that seemed to have been melted from pure gold sparkled even in the dreary weather. The refreshing eyes were slightly furrowed in puzzlement, and the blue eyes resembling the summer sky stared directly at Nathan. At that moment, a tremendous shock struck his mind. Nathan unwittingly exclaimed. Ah, his instincts whispered. This person was Azar. Azar Erasmus. The boy before his eyes truly looked exactly as Nathan had imagined while reading. That’s why he recognized him at a glance. He couldn’t even dare to imagine the protagonist looking any other way.

My Thoughts on Extra Works Hard
"Extra Works Hard" had me intrigued from the start with its premise of a realistic, non-OP protagonist struggling in a new world. The tags certainly piqued my interest, promising a blend of adventure, fantasy, and a touch of shounen ai within an academy setting. After diving in, I can see why so many readers are captivated, but also where some might find it lacking.
First Impressions
The initial chapters definitely set the tone. I appreciated the immediate sense of disorientation and panic from the main character, Nathan. It's a refreshing change from the instant acceptance you often see in transmigration stories. He doesn't suddenly become a genius; instead, he's thrown into a sickly body with limited knowledge and has to navigate a dangerous world.
What Works Well
The realism is a major draw. Many readers, myself included, found Nathan's struggles relatable. He's not brave or overpowered, but he's not a fool either. He works incredibly hard, often to his own detriment, which creates a compelling dynamic. His desire to be remembered, even if only by a few people, adds a layer of depth to his character. The slow-burn romance, or rather, the development of a deep friendship with the male lead, is also a highlight. It feels more natural and earned than the instant connections you often see in web novels. The world-building, while not extensively detailed, is intriguing enough to keep me invested, and the magic system has a classic high-fantasy feel that I enjoy. The descriptions of characters and environments are also a welcome change.
Areas of Concern
The slow pace is a double-edged sword. While some appreciate the focus on character development and daily life, others might find it tedious. I can see how the constant descriptions of Nathan's ailments could become repetitive for some readers. Also, some felt that the male lead's initial interest in Nathan felt abrupt, though I'm hoping that it evolves into something more meaningful as the story progresses.

Final Verdict
Overall, "Extra Works Hard" is a compelling read for those who enjoy realistic characters, slow-burn relationships, and a focus on personal growth within a fantasy setting. While the slow pace and emphasis on the protagonist's struggles might not appeal to everyone, I find the novel's strengths outweigh its weaknesses. It's a story about perseverance, friendship, and finding meaning in a world that seems determined to grind you down. I'm eager to see where the story goes and how Nathan continues to overcome his challenges.
