I can't say it is a masterpiece but it was interesting enough to keep me reading for more +1000 chapters (admittedly short ones but still). The world building was great on the powers and mutation evolution side, there were some creative twists although most of it is the usual element based powerhouse. There were no explanations about the apocalypse itself but the FL doesn't have any interest in it beyond making sure she and the baby survive so it wasn't necessary.What I liked the most was how... crude it was at some points and how it didn't gloss over the non glamorous stuff. FL is a new mother at the beginning of the novel and she actually was portrayed like it. It starts with an epic, thrilling path getting to her daughter in a zombie infested hospital, planning a way out and redefining her outlook on the way. FL isn't a holy mother either or tyrant wanna be, that's nice too. She's just a devoted mother with decent enough morals.Spoiler
Of course, she is the boss of the most powerful human base at the end, but it was kind of an accidental acquisition since people insisted on approaching her for protection. Surprisingly, daughter wasn't likeable, she was a total brat
[collapse]Not a fan of ML, he's kind of manipulative. Not annoying but not interesting either. Okay support tho. Responsible special forces soldier who really wanted a family. FL is queen. I don't feel the romance, but that's probably the point, it isn't really a romantic story. I quite dislike the way her personality totally changed to dumb and mute whenever the husband appeared. She's described as a simple minded person but still...Overall, it is a decent novel. Rating 4 stars because first part was 5/5. Ending wasn't impressive but it was sufficient. In short: first part is epic (escaping and surviving), middle part is boring (looking for a home), and final part is okay (politics and fight for human survival)
