During a funeral, Li Zhuoyuan witnessed his grandfather handling a corpse and gradually became exposed to the mysterious world of body retrievers.

    So, I have just finished catching up to the current chapters (167 at this point it time), and I have to say, I really love it.The writing quality is quite good, except for the occasional grammar or spelling mistake, and does not do anything to make your reading experience worse or anything of the sort.For stability of updates, I don't really know myself, but by going from when the chapters were released before, it seems quite stable.Now, story development for me was good. The pace for some might seem a bit slow since for the most part, it's just talking about his daily life and stuff, but I find it enjoyable. Most people thought that the grandmother was annoying and didn't like her, but she seemed ok enough to me, and in recent chapters, it clears things up about her so it's fine.The character design of Ace (mc). I enjoy watching Ace's character development and watching him mature, make friends, stream, make music, and all of the sorts. He enjoys his life to the fullest and is a genius, which for me is entertaining. He makes friends easily, and is nice, but is still careful and not naive, and can read everyone like a book.World background, not much to say. The setting is basically the same, starting from about 2015, and shifting events around a little to fit the storyline. There are some real-life people who are included, as well as some made up ones, so nothing too different.All in all, I would recommend this novel, so give it a try, and if you like it, good for you, if not then it's just not for you, so that's that, and we all have our preferences, so it's fine.

    Writing Quality:A lot of mistakes but the author has been improving. So that's good, It would be a good idea to edit the first chapter though.Updates:From a lot weekly to 1 weekly. Authors say he spends 5 hours per chapter and can't do anymore. Let's believe him for now.Story:Great idea, meh execution. Focus HEAVILY on interactions between characters on the family, basically isolated from the world or government. No suspension from the government why a billionaire would construct a prepper house? Plus the information the military have? They can't connect the dots?A lot of things that in real life you would be questioned and even detained.I don't like the idea that he doesn't explore other ideas in his mind until he resolves which idea would stick around and his reason. He just have to accept that and continue.Character: Awful, just awful.Like MANY MANY authors that writes stories of people coming back from the future they forget about the personality changes that would have. Their different approaches in life, their way to deal things, if you are in a world where you have to hunt constantly for food I don't think you would be very adept to diplomatic solutions the first day you come back to the past.Second point: Loli and sister complex. The author tries too hard to make their interactions between the siblings cute. Is cringe as f.uck. I would skip them since most authors tend to rant about sis-con a lot (that took almost 5 chapters of skips mind you).The author doesn't place himself in the MC place so the interactions are awkward and cringe mostly. And all the member of the family trust 100% in him, even if the changed 180 degrees from day to night (Not even gonna ask him to see a doctor or send him to a clinic for checks).World Background:The author really tries to give a background about the story but really can't deliver in an interesting way to tell it. So he just info dump it. I put 4 stars because of the efforts he makes. But the author needs to learn to deliver the background information when is needed, not when is possible.Final Thoughts:I put myself in the MC place. I would approach it in a different way, but each person is different. I will tell you some ideas and you can take it into an account or discard it (but telling it in the story why) to make the readers think that the MC isn't going to that place because that is the perfect plan and we just have to accept it.1- Self Sustained environment. Yes, you put facilities and all that, but a "fortress house" has to ensure food and other stuff for all the population there. Clean water? Where the wastes go? Farming? Specialist about this? 2- He knows his principal enemies will be the military and mutated beast. But I don't see anything in his plan planning to counter that, only hide. I would hire scientists to teach me how to analyze animal behavior, ho to detect their weak points, alimentations, territory marks, footprints. How to dissect animals, how to make armor/weapons of their hide and limbs,etc. SO MANY BETTER WAYS TO SPEND TIME. 3. Be A-ok with the government/military on the surface, but also monitoring them. Send some of the few personals he has to monitor them or pay an underground organization to have sent them information. Information is power.TL,DR: 15 yo MC who didn't grow in the 10y in the other world, Billionaire MC so difficult set to Very Easy, Sister Complex MC, Info Dumps of Backgrounds. 2.5 Stars. My principal problem is the MC mentality. Not even the story or the nonsense blind faith they have on him. My problem is his decisions that seem based on choosing the most expensive thing on each catalog and thinks he is good to go.

    To be honest I like this story alot, what I didn't like is the forced deaths when he did the trial of control, Kristie didn't really need to die, his death was unnecessary, if the author really only wanted one to survive he could've let Kristie and Brett die together at the next stage, but other than that awesome story

    5 chapters in! Time for a review!This story's got quite an interesting start and it helped making the readers anticipate what could be coming next Instead of starting of with world introduction or setting introduction, you got to the action right away which is clever!I also like how you slowly introduce the characters and stuff after that It's quite refreshing for this genre! Still, the story could use some more researchs on Japanese cultures and naming, so that it sounds more convincing, now that the cast still feel a bit Western and could confuse some readers.btw keep up the good work, author! You're doing great! 🥺👍💖
