The Survival of the Wild Tribe

Luo Zhen was picked up by a half-beastman and taken to the tribe as soon as he passed through. He thought he was going to be forced to become the companion of the half-beastman, who knew that the tribe moved away before the bond was formed. Luo Zhen, who stayed with the orcs, looked at the tribe razed to the ground by the flood and the group of old, weak, sick and disabled in the tribe, he swallowed silently. Lu Zhan, the delicate and fragile half-orc stood in front of people while densely-dressed in animal skins, said innocently, “We have no tribe anymore.” Luo Zhen: “It’s okay, we rebuild the tribe without them.” Lu Zhan: “Food is not enough.” Luo Zhen: “We’ll grow our own.” Lu Zhan: “I don’t have a partner either.” Luo Zhen: “I’ll be it.” Lu Zhan successfully curled the corners of his lips, “That’s settled then.” Luo Zhen: “…” Wait, I- no- I don’t. In order to feed this group of old, weak, sick, and disabled, Luo Zhen learned to hunt, build houses, find food in the wild, plant, domesticate, pave roads, and build bridges in the wild and strange world. He must lead this group of people to become rich and well-off. Luo Zhen discovered that the primitive society he thought seemed a little different from what he had imagined.

## My Thoughts on The Survival of the Wild Tribe "The Survival of the Wild Tribe" offered an interesting blend of genres that definitely kept me engaged. It's a transmigrated-to-the-stone-age story, but with some refreshing twists that set it apart, at least initially. While it eventually falls into some familiar tropes, the journey was, for the most part, enjoyable. ### First Impressions The initial chapters hooked me with the MC's realistic struggles. He wasn't suddenly a master of primitive technology; he actually relied on the knowledge of the native people to figure things out. This was a welcome change from the usual "I know everything" protagonist you often see in this type of novel. The ML also started out as a more grounded character, which I appreciated. ### What Works Well I really enjoyed the clan-building aspect of the story. Watching the tribe develop and the characters grow was heartwarming. The relationship between the MC and ML felt natural, even if it wasn't overly romantic. Their trust and reliance on each other were well-developed and believable. I found the pacing to be good for most of the story, and the characters were generally interesting and well-written. The author's descriptions, though sometimes lengthy, did help in vividly imagining the world. The action and adventure elements, especially as the story progressed, kept me turning the pages. ### Areas of Concern The ending felt rushed. Several plot points were left unresolved, and I wished the author had taken more time to flesh out certain aspects. The shift towards ancient bloodlines and conspiracies, while adding excitement, also detracted from the initial focus on tribe development. I also felt like the MC's "luck" sometimes felt a little too convenient, bordering on plot armor. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Several readers pointed out issues with the ending, specifically regarding the resolution of the old shaman's plot and the introduction of the man-faced bird king. The defeat of the shaman felt anticlimactic, and the sudden appearance of the bird king seemed like a deus ex machina. I also wished there was more exploration of the black panther's tribe life and the witch's palace. These felt like missed opportunities for further world-building and character development. ### Final Verdict Despite its flaws, "The Survival of the Wild Tribe" is a worthwhile read, especially if you enjoy the "transmigrated to the Stone Age" trope with a focus on clan building and adventure. While the ending could have been stronger, the journey was engaging and the characters were likeable. I'd recommend it with the caveat that you might be left wanting more at the end.
