The Transmigrated Fat Fulang

My Thoughts on The Transmigrated Fat Fulang

I recently finished reading "The Transmigrated Fat Fulang," and I have some mixed feelings about it. The premise definitely grabbed my attention: a modern-day orphan transmigrating to an ancient era where men can have children. It sounded like a fun, potentially heartwarming story, and in some ways, it delivered.

First Impressions

Initially, I was intrigued by the fish-out-of-water aspect. Watching the MC navigate this unfamiliar world, with its different customs and societal norms, was entertaining. The "fat to fit" journey also added a layer of personal growth that I appreciated. I was ready for a comedic slice-of-life story with a sweet romance.

What Works Well

The novel shines in its depiction of the MC's journey to build a new life. His hard work and ingenuity in bringing modern technologies to this ancient setting were engaging. I enjoyed seeing him develop relationships with the villagers and his growing devotion to his husband and newfound family. The world-building is also quite immersive, making the setting feel alive and vibrant. The story is ultimately about adaptation, finding your place, and creating a family, which are themes I always enjoy.

Areas of Concern

I did find some elements of the romance a bit troubling. I had some issues with the dynamic between the MC and the ML. The MC's initial resistance to the relationship, particularly the mpreg aspect, felt somewhat glossed over. It felt like there was a lack of genuine communication and consent in some of their interactions, especially concerning the first sexual encounter and the decision to have a child. I found this particularly concerning. While the story aims for comedic effect, some of these scenes felt uncomfortable and undermined the potential for a truly healthy and loving relationship. I was also left with the nagging feeling that the ML's initial attraction might have been rooted in the MC's ability to bring wealth and power to his family, rather than genuine affection.

Final Verdict

Overall, "The Transmigrated Fat Fulang" is a mixed bag. It has moments of genuine warmth, humor, and engaging world-building. However, the problematic elements within the romance held me back from fully enjoying the story. I'd recommend it with reservations, suggesting readers be aware of the potential triggers and approach the relationship dynamics with a critical eye. It's a 3/5 stars for me.
