I never read The Bear thing other review wrote and probably will never after reading the review.

Anyway, the 1st chapter implying that MC are going to cheat on ML which actually makes me raise an eyebrow but don't worry it is all misunderstanding.

Honestly I don't understand the hate on this story. Yes the or*y part also makes me uncomfortable and feels like it is just throw there to show the loyalty and sincerity of ML but who can tell that didn't happen in primitive society?

Also, I have watch some documentary... more>> and yes human primitive isn't that barbaric. People in the past actually know to cook food (fire is a thing!) and they also know how to bury (respect) the dead and so on.

But first thing you need to understand, this is zerg primitive society we are talking about not human one.

Please remember that while zerg looks like human they are at core, insect like. And this is fiction.

So yeah, I really don't understand why a story about zerg primitive society is a racist because they have an or*y and killing a baby.

Are we now on the point where everyone just throwing the word racist left and right just because someone doesn't like a fiction story based on alien insect race? <<less

1 star: A short grossly stereotyped story heavily "inspired" by The Clan of the Cave Bear, full of pointless tropes that is not worth your time even though it's only 10 chapters + 2 extras. Unless you enjoy reading trainwrecks—in which case this story is probably a good one to tackle because it's so short. The translation is serviceable so it's not hard to read in terms of straight text.

For a summary of what happens and how pointless it is:

... more>>
Spoiler

Guy that we know nothing about except that he's from modern times transmigrates into the body of a guy from a primitive tribe. He retains his finicky, picky, dainty modern mindset and habits from being a spoiled rich boy and is b*tchy that nobody takes care of him and life is hard and inconvenient.

Another guy, excuse me, I mean "female" shows up who happens to look exactly like the mate/wife/partner from modern times whom he apparently broke up or was breaking up with prior to whatever made him transmigrate. Said female is super amazing and much-admired by the tribe and totally devoted to him because they made a childhood promise to be together when they reached maturity, and since the female matured first, he's been biding his time waiting for the male to catch up.

Then there's a weird uncomfortable scene celebrating a successful hunt that culminates in a full-clan or*y where adults have s*x, "immature" males have s*x, and children have s*x because they're copying what the adults do, and there's an author's note at the end of this chapter "explaining" that's just how primitive societies are. The main character guy thinks it's all weird and gross and runs off, the female catches up to him and reminds him that they've promised to eventually be together (and doesn't do anything more than just talk to him gently), and despite him having been nothing but nice to the MC for however long he's been transmigrated, the MC is a d*ck to the female because he looks like his old flame.

An unknown amount of time passes and the MC becomes indifferent to death and things like annoyed mothers mu*dering their crying babies by throwing them on the ground until they die, because death is treated really casually and matter-of-factly by primitive people (another helpful author's note is explicit about how primitive mothers could kill their babies for any reason, such as "being too noisy").

Then the MC gets a bad fever and is gonna die. The female refuses to believe this and won't let the rest of the tribe move him to the lower caves where all the dead/dying go, and instead chooses to exile himself with the dying MC.

Then the MC reawakens in the present in a hospital and we finally get a giant info dump of backstory about how he's married to his female but thought the female wanted to divorce him because he saw divorce papers around the house and thought the female was interested in another guy at work and didn't want to sleep with him anymore and blah blah, and he thought about talking to the female but decided he'd rather be pissy instead and drink away his problems despite having an alcohol allergy, which resulted in an allergic reaction that sent him to the hospital where he was in a coma for three days, during which time he transmigrated to primitive times and then came back. His transmigration makes about zero difference to the rest of the "story" so it might as well have not happened.

Turns out everything was a romance-textbook misunderstanding, i.e. the divorce papers were actually a design template for the company the female is working at, and the guy he's been working with is in fact a new intern relative of relative whom the female was asked to look out for and of course the female isn't interested in him at all, and etc etc all explained away in one convenient paragraph.

Then they kiss and make up and in fact they've always been attracted to each other all along. The end.

One extra is a pointless epilogue to the modern story in which nothing happens, and the second extra is an epilogue to the primitive timeline in which it seems like the original soul returns to his body, surviving the fever and turning into a mature male in the process so the two of them can live happily ever after. The end again.

[collapse]

As for the gross stereotypes, which are mentioned in the summary above and I'm getting into more specific detail and direct quotes below—

Okay, look. I've read a lot of primitive BL, isekai to transmigration to (pseudo-) historical, from normal humans to beastmen to zerg to omegaverse to etc. I'm no stranger to it and its tropes and stereotypes. But this story actually puts me off in its depiction of the "primitive" people thanks to author's notes explicitly explaining how all primitive people are all ignorant and hypers*xual and teach their children to be hypers*xual by open example, don't believe in or practice monogamy, and just... wtf.

Here's a direct quote from the end of chapter 4:

"Author's Note: In primitive society, heterosexuals have s*x freely and arbitrarily, purely by will. At the same time, primitive people believe that females have to combine with more than one male in order to successfully conceive offspring. Cubs are raised together by the tribe, and the imitative behavior of cubs is allowed to happen in the primitive period."

This comes at the end of the chapter in order to explain the end scene that's a drunken or*y between adults, with "immature males" getting to third base with each other and "cubs" apparently having s*x with each other based on what they see everyone else doing.

WTF.

The transmigrated MC is "so nauseous that he wanted to vomit" at the sight of all this and thinks that "[p]rimitive tribes, were they all this disgusting? Adults, children, all this sickening [sic]."

Yes, please, do paint with even broader brushes of prejudicial stereotypes about "primitive" people. Isn't it great how the MC is openly disgusted by all primitive people, but then the author immediately adds an end note to explain that all primitive people are just like totally hypers*xual and totally ignorant about procreation, as if the author read The Clan of the Cave Bear, focused in on a couple specific details, and decided that all primitive people, historical and fictional, are exactly just like that but even more so.

Note that the author doesn't ever specify in their note that this is the case solely for this fictional story. Instead, the author paints it as a historical/present-day "fact" about "primitive society" in general. Just like how primitive people were s*upid: "In this primitive society from thirty thousand years ago, the mental thoughts were far less complex than in modern times." (Chapter 6) This is not an author's note, it's directly in the story. I will never fail to understand this widely-embraced trope that people in primitive times were simple-minded and incapable of complex thoughts or emotions.

At one point the story talks about how primitive people are basically indifferent to death because it's so common, so they don't shed tears and aren't that sad when someone unexpectedly dies—they just give a brief prayer for the dying/dead, then take their possessions and move on. Then the story goes even harder on how primitive people lack empathy and emotions when it details how a male caretaker couldn't calm a crying hungry baby due to food scarcity and the pissed off female mother picked the baby up to throw it to the ground, where the baby was still alive but eventually the female killed it and the male was just relieved that he didn't have to deal with the annoying baby anymore.

WTF.

And the MC is calm and unmoved because he's become accustomed to death and the attitudes of this "primitive" society, although he intellectually acknowledges how it's "terrifying" that his "blood had also turned cold".

But don't worry! There's another explanatory racist/prejudiced author's note at the end of that chapter!

"The author's note:... In primitive societies, killing cubs didn't require a reason; sometimes it could simply be 'because they were too noisy.'" (Chapter 7)

Another note at the end of the story screams even more THIS IS CLAN OF THE CAAAAVE BEAR FANFICCCCC ONLY IT'S NOT FANFIC BECAUSE IT'S ZERG:

"**Author's Note:** The relationship between the ancient zerg race and the ancient sub-females is analogous to that between modern humans and Neanderthals. The former coexisted while the latter faced extinction." (Chapter 12)

This doesn't even make sense because the zerg and the "sub-females" are presented as being of the same tribe and same people—like, the sub-females are zerg too. There is no indication of this supposed analogous relationship in the story, and the author gets zero mileage out of the zerg setting. The characters being "zerg" makes no difference in the story as the modern society appears exactly the same as human society, they don't seem to have any physical differences from humans, and the "primitive" society doesn't have anything different about it either. The only differences are mentioning that they lay/hatch from eggs, some vague token mentions about females being subordinate to males/serving men as the masters (which could just as easily be read as any other story where the MC is spoiled and his lover takes care of him) and of course the repeated emphasis on how the "females" of the primitive society are the hunters while the men are gatherers, in a pointless reversal of stereotypical gender roles. Otherwise this could have been a non-zerg story, either totally human by removing a few superficial details or changed into beastfolk or omegaverse or whatever by tweaking those same details.

So, yeah. Really short, weird, and kinda gross story jam-packed with ignorant stereotypes and prejudices. <<less

This was a quick story with short chpts. Not much really happens. MC wakes up in the primitive past. Has trouble adapting but is mostly ok, eventually wakes back up in modern times having learned nothing.

It almost feels like the author wanted to write about some primitive facts they learned but didn’t have a plot to go with it lol. I am curious to look up how factual the author’s notes are.

Anyway story ends with MC & ML resolving their misunderstandings but in chpt 1 MC mentioned he was heading... more>> out to meet someone to cheat on ML. That never gets referenced again and I’m curious why it was even mentioned at all.

TLDR: The characters come off as immature and the plot is weak, but it’s such a quick read and I am left curious to look into the “facts” mentioned in the story. <<less
