“Chris, you have got to get your life together. Your mother and I can’t keep supporting you.” My dad said for the fifteenth time. Mom just sat there and didn’t say anything. She wasn’t going to interfere. Dad didn’t have any faith in me. Why would he? He decided that I didn’t need to go to college.
As he turned the corner heading to the airport, he shook his head. “And when are you going to get a girlfriend and give us grandchildren. I know you think you are a girl, but you are a man and need to start acting like it. I can’t….” he started to say before my mom finally cut him off.
“Eric, you know how Chris feels about that. There is no pushing him. Besides, you want him to come home for your birthday. I suggest you not chase him away,” my mom said. I guess she had had enough of my dad’s berating.
For the next twenty minutes, we sat in the car silent. I really didn’t want to listen to my dad’s thoughts on living my life anymore. I don’t know why my mom was quiet. She really wasn’t in the argument, but I guessed that she didn’t want to start anything with my dad and get him going again. It was fine. I took the time to take in the sights. I know that I had been to Florida before, but I always enjoyed seeing the people. You could always find a new face.
As we arrived at the airport, dad turned around and looked at me. I knew he was thinking of what to say without upsetting my mom. Of everything else in this world, my mom was the only person he didn’t want to piss. He started in again about needing to be a man and find a job and a girlfriend. He was becoming a broken record. Irritated and tired of the conversation, I got out of the car, grabbed my things, and headed to mom’s door.
“I love you, mom. I am sorry that I cause you all so much grief. I will see you all at Dad’s birthday,” I said, then headed to the terminal. If only I had known that this would be the last time I saw them, I would have stayed and talked longer. I would have explained that no matter how I felt, I was their child. But instead, I walked away and got on a plane.

I know you think you are a girl, but you are a man and need to start acting like it.
Cutie pie, no matter how much they're your parents, they're not worth your concern when they treat you like that. *big hug for MC* Your mom is bad and your dad is hateful and I know it's hard but don't feel bad about cutting them out of your life when they just want to ruin it.
I feel for Chris and her situation here. It’s a shitty feeling when the person you are turns out to be someone different than what your parents wanted. And no, she shouldn’t have to apologize to her parents. Her parents should be apologizing to her.
Awww, shitty family like that sucks :(
What's wrong
Poor girl has to live with such mean parents!
Not bad I can't say for sure that I will like it but I'm giving it a try
Damn, now ain't that a relatable conversation. I remember when I first came out my parents biggest worry was HRT making me impotent or whatever. Don't understand why they care so much if I can have a biological child, I mean they literally adopted me.
A fine prologue and setup for the story. The last paragraph in particular is a great and ominous prelude to the furry-filled isekai soon to come. It also highlights the tragic element of leaving everything behind and entering a new world, which I think goes a long way to increase the believability of the story as well as the relatability of the protagonist.
With that said, grammar time!
I can't…." he started to say before my mom finally cut him off.
If you notice, there are two spaces in between "I" and "can't".
Of everything else in this world, my mom was the only person he didn't want to piss.
Unless I'm mistaken, I believe you meant to finish this sentence with "off".
He started in again
Might just be me but this syntax seems off.
This prologue is pretty short so I have no further criticism. Have a good today! ^^
So when he is on the plane how get he isekaied? I mean the only proper way is meeting truck-kun :p
Well cargo plains are like trucks of the sky so yeah
So this is the prologue?
Good first chapter excited for more.
Not even the first chapter it releases in an hour and a half
