I really want to like this because it has some interesting ideas going. However this author is writing it in a way that is very Chinese which I cant really like. Sure I can accept things like spiritual power and his "cultivation" way of viewing the world or how he refines his body, these things are all okey but just the way it is written for me is like taking the worst parts of that cultures literature and distilling it. Luckily it does not attempt to be too profound so far.Another problem of this author is that he does not understand human psychology nor include complex characters (early on) in the story. In many ways zombie apocalypses are not about the zombies themselves but an exploration of humanity at its limits. Just calling scared people "leaches" granted its from a point of view of the protagonist, is just doing it wrong.In my opinion this story would be much better if it was not zombies and if it was not during an apocalypse. Lastly I at least give him some props for at least acknowledging that the zombie virus in itself is perhaps more terrifying then the zombies in how it can spread but then again the main character chooses a dagger which is suicidal when even the smallest drop of blood could spell your end.
