The Submarine Shipgirl's Survival Guide

Initially, I was drawn to this book because the protagonist is a submarine ship girl. After all, books about ship girls are rare, and those about submarines are even rarer. However, in this novel, the protagonist is practically invisible for most of the time. That's right, there's no protagonist at all; she can't even be a background character. Throughout the novel, it's clear the author intended to write an ensemble piece, but there are just too many characters. Aside from the ship girls under the admiral's command, there are tons of people from the US, Northern Union, Asia Union, and Abyss. Then they crammed in the Type 055 destroyer and Daishan Island. With so many people and so much chatter, even the minor characters don't get a proper development. And then another character appears...

I've read about half of it so far. It's hard to imagine how a modern nuclear submarine with satellite guidance could be threatened by a steel toy that's a hundred years behind...

The author's next book will focus more on the daily interactions between the ship girls and their online communities. Constantly talking about battles and the main plot is incredibly boring, and the author doesn't want a wish-fulfillment story; the protagonist rarely gets to act.

The protagonist feels like a mere plot device. Despite being a battlefield ensemble novel centered on the protagonist as the central observation point, the protagonist's presence is minimal. Anyone could be replaced by a different character, and the protagonist only reappears to patch things up when the plot is about to completely collapse.

Once it's published, I'll hurry up and start writing. Four chapters aren't enough for anyone to read.

Four chapters released already 😡

Author, is this story primarily about a dominant or submissive character? Is it one-on-one or one-on-many?

The main character has so little screen time! Towards the end, I even felt like the admiral was the real protagonist.

I have a question. I'm not demanding anything else, but is it possible to actually get that impressive-sounding 600mm electromagnetic railgun?

Why are there two identical chapters?
