Reviewers keep telling me I need a great cover, great title, and great first paragraph (I'm working on it). When I read your first paragraphs, I find a man waiting for a train - for some reason, playing with his phone - for some reason, and waiting for a promotion - for some reason. Give me a reason to care about this guy - a reason to keep reading. Is he in danger? Is something big about to happen? Give me some tension. Maybe a reason why he cares about the train being on time?

in isekai who the person is before the transfer is mostly irrelavent.

all you need to know is he is a generic nobody.
