My Thoughts on How To Survive As A Minor Character [Transmigration]

"How To Survive As A Minor Character [Transmigration]" promised a fun blend of action, comedy, and a little romance, and while it delivered on some fronts, it stumbled in others, leaving me with mixed feelings. The premise, as always with transmigration stories, is intriguing: our protagonist finds himself in the body of a minor character and must navigate a world that's not his own.

First Impressions

Initially, I was drawn in by the academy setting and the potential for comedic interactions. The idea of a calm protagonist trying to survive in a world full of wealthy characters and cold love interests had me hooked. However, I quickly realized that the initial charm wore off as the story progressed.

What Works Well

One of the strongest aspects of the novel, in my opinion, is the dynamic between the MC and the ML. The male lead is definitely a highlight, as he's portrayed as respectful and avoids the toxic tropes often found in similar stories. The slow-burn romance, even with its flaws, is genuinely enjoyable. I also appreciated the "twist" in the plot, which added an unexpected layer of depth.

Areas of Concern

Unfortunately, the novel isn't without its problems. The pacing can be uneven, with the initial focus on character interactions shifting abruptly to a drug syndicate plotline. Also, the excessive amount of nonsensical dialogue and bickering between the characters often detracted from the emotional impact of certain scenes. I personally found that the protagonist's actions sometimes felt rushed and ill-considered, particularly when interfering with the original main character's plot. It felt like he was creating unnecessary problems for himself.

Final Verdict

Overall, "How To Survive As A Minor Character [Transmigration]" is a mixed bag. While it offers moments of genuine enjoyment and a refreshing take on some common tropes, it's also plagued by pacing issues and questionable character decisions. If you're looking for a lighthearted read with a decent romance and don't mind overlooking some flaws, it might be worth a try. However, if you prefer a tightly plotted story with well-developed characters, you might find yourself disappointed. I'd give it a solid 3 out of 5 stars.
