He has actually transmigrated into the Mermaid King who has special water abilities. These abilities he already had during the Apocalypse time he came from. Later on the mermaid clan comes to find their King and in the end joins the interstellar Alliance, making all pet mermaids on equal footing as normal citizens.

But after people know that mermaids can talk and they use a translation device to communicate with them, they didnt do anything about the mermaid sellers. Lots of day passed and only when a mermaid who came from mermaid planet mentioned, they finally fixed that problem. Wow, big brain moment! Really!

Mermaids were thinking about having a choice to give to mermaids to go to all mermaids main planet. And they would join a test to find out mermaids are intelligent creatures or not.

But the human people was aganist it cuz of the spiritual power they give to them.

LIKE BRUH! THEY CAN THINK AND YOU CAN EVEN COMMUNICATE WITH THEM AND STILL THEY ARE NOT INTELLIGENT TO YOU? Like really?!!

I understand, mermaids are talking and thinking as the level of a child. But their memory is bad cuz of a gene somewhat enjected to them (plus they found a surgery for that to remove that gene). Its only normal for them to be just like children.

If they have a memory that they only remember several days all the time, they were be like a child also!

And MC convinced them. 'How' you wonder? BY GIVING THEM SEEDS WITH SPIRITUAL POWERS TO ALL GENERATION. LIKE BRUH?!!! YOU DONT OWE THEM ANYTHING!

I know people took care mermaids so long time. But that doesnt mean mermaids debt of a favor for them! Mermaids were treated as pets, they got sold, humans make them breed each other without their permission to just have high level mermaids. Plus human peiple gained spiritual powers by tricking them so many times...

Sighhhh

I know, human people in danger cuz of the usage of spiritual power. They in need spiritual power so much. Its about human lives we talking about. Its sad of course. And mermaids have spiritual powers they need. I understand. They need mermaids.

But that shouldn't be a reason to restrict mermaids, take away their freedoms and still insist that mermaids are not intelligent beings.

Once MC realized that he was safe, he did immediately try to show the ML his intellect as well as go live to show the rest of the world, so overall, I didn't find that plot point to be a big problem.

mermaids were said to be of super utmost importance to the military, but they were auctioned off at billions - and apparently owned by individual commanders/soldiers, which makes it utterly unbelievable of a phenonmena. It would be more likely for mermaids to be bred by the government and then assigned as a group to take care of soldiers versus being sold off at high prices to individual owners which wouldn't give the government any return if they individually cost tens-to-hundreds of millions.

And has anyone ever heard of military service being lucrative to the point of captains/commanders being able to afford to bid on tens-hundreds of millions on a pet??? And then spend milions more to "keep them happy" and give them whatever they want?? Wild.

An Jin is fully aware of what the possible consequences of his actions are. He explained those while he were in the process of doing them and also the same time he explained it to Norman. An Jin might be naive and innocent but he is not a reckless idiot and not at all blackbellied. He acted dumb on purpose because he knew that it's the safest way to get by. It's common sense for traumatized kids that grew up into adults to always be careful in a new environment and act accordingly to ensure safety. He made sure that Norman was trustworthy and unlike all other masters before he even spoke up. Another fact is that AnJin did not let Norman to pay for everything and to pursue financial freedom himself is a sign that he was not willing to stay as a pet or a 20 yr old adult under Norman's guardianship. Which again, An Jin vocally expressed.

An Ji's character has many inconsistencies, the character that should bring up more development is the flattest in the novel, I can't believe it comes from a post-apocalyptic world, it's a plush ball from the beginning, while other stories from Survivors seek to be fit to survive the e a salty fish since I came to the interstellar era, I can justify a little naivety for his life before the apocalypse, but as a survivor long after I do not understand how I easily trust the doctor from the beginning, His docility to act like a poodle because I am a pet is uncomfortable but again I can justify it in my mind that he just wants to live and have a good time, but the more I read I can only see the configuration of virg*n Mary in the boy, if so, the better they would have given him the previous identity of a world with powers but had a terminal illness and end, instead of giving him a survivor configuration and f*cking the character by putting ole hairy and pink, luckily they didn't add a glamorous personality to it or this would be complete shit, how to say I am a boy but as I am the uke I must feminize myself or be weak, naive and docile.

I also find the configuration of mermaids annoying, they have a language, they are wild, but they are aware of themselves and they are sociable, having all that I do not understand why they do not have a tribe or something like that, and above all I do not understand why they are easily taken as pets, this simply bothered me from the start, the worst part for me was when they mentioned mating.

Then, they solved the problem of the mermaids, but it was very fast and so simple that you feel that they did not take advantage of the plot, obviously the greatest problem of the novel is the congruence between the characters and their experiences, having arguments to develop the story in a more exciting only justify the plot holes in the most fruitful way, that left me very unsatisfied, mermaids have their own language, so they will have a bad memory and with that nobody will notice (?), bad memory? Is it something genetic, the MC must be important, let's make him the mermaid king even though he was born of unknown genetic material, why is he king? because the plot needs it...

So I can continue, I think that not many people will take these things seriously but I like coherent details even when they are simple plots, so I only vent my suffering for a novel so good in plot it was wasted like this, I enjoyed the arguments, but the MC took away the charm of the novel and the resolutions were not satisfactory

—when he hits mermaid maturity, he turns out to be the literal King of the Mermaids that all mermaids instinctively love and respect and worship. Because that's a thing. It definitely didn't have me rolling my eyes so hard they spun like turbocharged airplane propellers.

You can see it in the middle of the novel, when mermaid couple wants to escape to the sea but he doesn't want them to leave the humans.

Where have you even f*cking seen a ruler that doesn't live in their own kingdom? This. Novel's. F*cking. MC.
