Description
Jiang Huai transmigrates into the body of a privileged young master from an influential family. Before he can enjoy the riches and luxury, his family is disgraced and sent into exile, embarking on a long and arduous journey. Fortunately, the heavens don’t close all doors. Jiang Huai realizes he has transmigrated into a novel. Five years later, a new emperor will ascend the throne, and the Jiang family will be exonerated, rising once again to prominence. The problem? Jiang Huai is a mere cannon fodder character who dies of illness during the exile, never living to see the day of glory. Determined to survive those five critical years, Jiang Huai carefully picks himself a “big brother” and bodyguard. Jiang Huai paints a rosy future for his new protector: “I’ll reward you greatly for your help. In five years, you’ll live a life of wealth and comfort.” The “big brother” remains silent, and Jiang Huai assumes he’s just shy. Fast forward five years. Jiang Huai has built a modest fortune on the frontier and eagerly awaits the news of the new emperor’s enthronement and the subsequent pardon. Excited, he travels to the capital to reunite with his “big brother,” ready to make his mark in the bustling city. But when he sees his “big brother” seated on the emperor’s throne, Jiang Huai is stunned. He turns to flee, only for the new emperor to block his way with a deep gaze. “Didn’t you ask me to prepare a house for us in the capital?” the emperor says. “I’ve already bought it. Don’t you want to see our new home?”

My Thoughts on I Became an Exiled Cannon Fodder After Transmigrating
"I Became an Exiled Cannon Fodder After Transmigrating" promised a fun blend of fantasy, historical elements, and a touch of romance, and while it mostly delivered, it wasn't without its quirks. Having finished reading it, here are my thoughts.
First Impressions
The premise itself is intriguing – a transmigrated protagonist navigating ancient China as a cannon fodder character. The early chapters drew me in with the initial survival struggles of the MC as a prisoner, and I was eager to see how Jiang Huai would turn his situation around.
What Works Well
The story excels in its infrastructure and army-building aspects. Jiang Huai's ventures in the ancient world are definitely the highlight, and I found myself enjoying the strategic elements as he worked to improve his circumstances and those around him. The romance, while slow-burn, felt organic. I especially appreciated that the characters didn't fall in love at first sight. The ML fell in love pretty early on, but the MC took a while to reciprocate, which felt more realistic given their initial circumstances. The plot is relatively concise, with only 70+ chapters, making it easy to digest and finish. It's a feel-good novel at its core, and it doesn't stray from that promise.
Areas of Concern
My biggest issue lies with the translation. While some might find the GenZ slang amusing, it felt incredibly out of place in a historical setting. It's jarring to read slang-filled dialogue in a story set in ancient China, and it detracted from the overall immersion for me. Also, the balance between infrastructure building and romance felt off. The story is heavily skewed towards the former, and those looking for a romance-heavy novel might be disappointed. I also felt that the infrastructure building, while present, wasn't as exciting as it could have been. Things seemed to fall into place a little too easily for the MC after the initial prison arc.
Final Verdict
"I Became an Exiled Cannon Fodder After Transmigrating" is a light and easy read, perfect for passing the time if you enjoy infrastructure-building stories with a dash of slow-burn romance. Just be prepared for a translation that might not be to everyone's taste. If you can overlook that, it's a fun and engaging story.
