The Extra’s Academy Survival Guide

Description

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

I ended up transmigrating as a third-rate extra in a game I like, but worst of all this character has already fallen and been disowned.

I have no ambitions. I just want to graduate, but the world won’t let me.

It’s a fun read when it’s it’s not bogged down by side characters thoughts. You end up reading the same impressions multiple times- in that way it’s boring and tiresome. It’s not accurate to say the writing is bad or that the author is adding filler- it’s just that he’s over explaining everything either to a dumb audience or the type that needs to know and justify every detail. This is exhausting to read at times, because the pacing is very sluggish.

For example, a scene at a camp fire. Add... more>> misunderstanding. And then you have to read all the characters involved impressions and thoughts, and then again when a character is explaining themselves to a character not involved. On the low end that’s 3 times and on the high end it’s 8 times you have to read the same shit.

In addition you have to read the whole exposition of what characters think of each other every time a scene slightly adjusts their opinion of the other party. For example, getting good marks on an exam after being perceived as talentless. Atleast 6 times you will read “how did I miss judge”, “he’s hardworking” and it’s various variations.

This isn’t limited to the MC either, because as you know the romance interests increases and grows more troublesome.

The effect of all of this is that something that could be 3 chapters is instead 5. Long term that is 30 into 50. I’m not exaggerating. As more and more characters pour in, the characters have to realize that their initial impressions and assumptions are incorrect and have to spend time figuring out why. Every time. EVERY TIME.

If you can suffer reading the same thing atleast 3x then I recommend this for you. <<less

This basic plot is nothing unique. A boy is transmigrated to a character, a minor villain, inside a game. Now, his target is to be able to live decently in the future.

The point where it deviates from the norm is what makes it interesting. Although, I have not yet found anything drastically special about this story, the way all the pieces are written makes the story a good read.

  • Unlike other "transmigrated as a villain" stories, the MC doesn't intend to remain as a villain. The same is reflected as the opinions about him began to change.
  • Until now, the story follows logically. Unlike other stories, whatever deviation happens in the supposed arcs of the game happen because of the MC's unintended actions.
  • The cast is fairly unique and detailed with their own ambitions.
  • The romance/harem feels real to me.
  • The real treat are the misunderstandings that people have about his actions. On a similar note, other character's PoV are also very enjoyable.
  • One negative about this story is that the MC wants to remain outside story. Although, it is a more logical choice given the explanation MC gives for this choice, it still makes a less interesting read for us. However, as mentioned, MC's presence itself creates deviations in the storyline. To resolve this, MC has started to involve himself more, although, how much would it satisfy us readers is yet to be seen as I have only read till 44 chapter.
  • The other negative also comes from MC's unwillingness to involve himself in the story is that we are following the MC and not the game's main character. Although, MC does deviate the storyline, he isn't that disrupting. In other words, many of the games "small" events happen while we read MC building stuff here and there. This will be boring since action scenes are substituted by single lines that MC hears from other people.
  • The MC might appear to be a little cold sometimes. He lets events happen for the sake of it even if somebody he knows is going to die. Thus, the MC appears rather cold and distant. I hope he gets some character development and stops playing god in the future.
Frankly, I would have rated it 4 but I have only rated it 3 because it hasn't been translated fully yet. There are only less than 70 chapters translated. I will probably wait till a lot of chapters are translated before I... more>> resume reading this. <<less
