   This "Survival Guide" isn't the kind that talks about being cautious and timid but constantly gets caught up in a bunch of messy situations. So far, the protagonist is cautious and principled but doesn't blindly tolerate things; he's decisive when necessary. The supporting characters are also intelligent, and there are no strange, idiotic plot points. The only drawback so far seems to be the somewhat bland plot, but that's understandable given it's a "Survival Guide" genre. Overall, this book seems like a good read!
