I Transmigrated as my Bias’s Messenger Bird

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

You’ve transmigrated into a dating sim game where you’re doomed no matter what you choose. Now you have to win over the elusive Tower Lord whose heart you’ve failed to capture every time. But how can you do that when you’ve turned into your bias’s messenger bird?

The system says [“You have one year to accumulate 10000 affection levels or you will lose.

“You…what are you doing?”
“I’m asking for your hand in marriage.”

[Oops, Rai Sherfied’s affection for you has dropped 5849!]

I thought there was no hope for me after being rejected for every answer I chose.
It’s weird. My bias, who was so hard to meet before, keeps appearing in front of me.

“Don’t do anything dangerous and stay by my side.”
“I don’t know what will happen to you if you’re left alone.”
“You’re my student, so I’m responsible for you.”

And they let me stay by their side and take care of me?
Does that mean I won’t be annihilated?

“Hmm…… ruffles a few feathers.”

[Oops! Rai Sherfied’s affection for you just dropped by 0.0001!]

You’re being a little harsh on me just for ruffling some feathers.
……It’s probably too soon to let your guard down.

Disclaimer: I'm the active translator as the time of writing this review, so I might be more predisposed to liking it than most—which is why I don't usually leave a review for my TL projects.

That being said, this novel really surprised me! If you're like me, a fan of otome games and dating sims in general, you're going to love this novel.

Transmigration novels usually paint the "original" heroine as the antagonist or romantic rival to our FL, so it's really refreshing when a female MC is transmigrated and she isn't... more>> immediately pitted against another woman to fight over men.

Mina, the original dating sim MC, is just doing her thing while our pigeon MC looks at her with nothing but fondness from the time when she played as Mina herself.

With a lot of comedy k-novels, you usually have to know a bit about Korean culture to appreciate the jokes, but for ITAMBMB, the humor comes from the protagonist's video game savvy and the inherently ridiculous characters and scenarios these kinds of games confront you with. There are jokes about bad dialogue options, game-breaking items, and poking fun at the overly serious MLs from time to time.

Speaking of the characters, a lot of them are funny without being over the top or grating. They're quirky, but in a way that everyday people are eccentric. All while still being in line with their respective "dating sim" archetypes.

Of course, it's not all just fun and jokes. There is an underlying mystery that ties the story together that will keep you wanting to know more.

So far, it's been a bit light on the romance. The ML and FL are both compelling and competent in their own right, but there's admittedly not much chemistry between them as of the time of me writing this review. Although, following dating sim conventions, the FL seems to have other love interests waiting in the wings. And her perspective on how differently they treat her when she's a side character compared to when she was the player character is a very interesting concept.

TL;DR: This novel really feels like a love letter to ridiculous dating sim games. A little light on the romance compared to a lot of rofans, but heavy on the fun and humor. Read this if you want a relatable FL who uses her genre savvy to navigate her way through sticky situations and an ML who's cold, aloof, and powerful but also kind of a huge nerd and weirdo. <<less

I love this story so much, and in general the Citrus Aurora version does an EXCELLENT job with the translation, but there's a serious translation error. The resident healer and Keeper of the Well's name was changed to "Luke" when it was originally "Roikle." This is a major plot spoiler but it has to stay Roikle.

Near the end of the story, the only person to have survived studying the mad archmage and principle antagonist, Elkior, noted that he liked reading his subordinates' names backwards for fun. When he took on a persona to hide in the Mage Tower in plain sight (the darkest place is under the lamp, after all), he simply wrote his name backwards. Simple healer mage Roikle is the mad, dimension-hopping archmage, Elkior.

In general, this is a lovely game-based transmigration story. The title is a bit of a misnomer (she's only transformed into a bird at the very beginning and end, and only masquerades as her bias's messenger bird at the very beginning) but it describes the scenes well, crafts believable characters, and ties up a surprising number of loose ends. I like the complexity it holds, as it explains why the game existed in the first place, why our particular MC was chosen, how she was brought here, and deals with the heart-wrenching fact that she was deliberately chosen because she was particularly persistent in pursuing Rai as a game character, but if she actually gets near him in reality she'll be his undoing.

Most of the game-based transmigration stories I've read don't touch on all of these issues, but they were plotted out nearly here like a clearly defined web where every action has a meaning behind it.

For those who don't like stories with a second male lead, this story does have one, and a fair number of people will be rooting for him over the actual male lead. Who doesn't love a sexy, utterly devoted, long-haired high priest who can kick bu*t like nobody's business? I really wished he could have found his own "Mina" (MC from the game) in the end.

The story extends all of the way to a complete conclusion with side-stories detailing some of the antics of the next generation. <<less
