Bait and Switch

Other than the previous challenges mentioned in picking a decent webnovel (even just to read), there’s the bait and switch that I had just experienced!

Let me just ask you this:

If the title of the book is “Transmigrated to Phoenix Man in the 80’s”, am I asking for too much to expect the below, at the very minimum:

  1. Transmigration was involved in the story

  2. MC ended up in the 80s

  3. MC was male, as suggested by the title

  4. MC was a Phoenix man, also as suggested by the title

But, nooooooo, twenty chapters later, there was NO mentioning of MC being a phoenix man!

Are there zombies in Zombieland? Are there time traveling in Back to the Future? Are there dinosaurs in Jurassic Park?

In fact, author asked “Should I rename the book to ‘Valedictorian in the 80s’"?”

??!!!!

Had that been the title it started out with, I would NEVER even have clicked into it!

Give me back the time I’ve spent reading the 20 chapters. :’(
