I feel like it would be too cheap of me if I rate this novel only 4, so 5 star it is.I absolutely love the dynamic of the MC and ML couple in this novel. MC is your typical iceberg beauty. But he is such a soft marshmallow inside and kind of meng too. Especially when he is interacting with ML. ML is an OP other worldly being that was saved by MC before the apocalypse.The setting of the apocalypse itself is quite sophisticated. While there is xianxia element to the novel, as far as I've seen, the novel heavily lean into the sci-fi genre. The author tried to make the zombie outbreak and emergence of ability holder to be as scientific as possible so the world building is interesting. This also makes the novel potentially longer than most of the genre. But the flow of the story is smooth and while I feel that there's some plot holes, the storytelling flows nicely.The ML character has beast characteristics but it is said that he will become human so I can't wait until they become a couple, lol. They went from master and pet, father and son, and then lover (supposedly) Spoiler
until chapter 140ish the ML is still in the form of a huge wolfdog. Very jealous possessive pe*verted giant pet dog, ?
[collapse]The way the MC gathers his team is funny and heartwarming as well. He is not the ruthless vengeful type and more of a kuudere type and a walking example of a good person harvesting benefits of the good deeds he's done. His journey is exciting and I find myself wondering what kind of stuff he will find next.The battle sequences are intense and detailed. While I know that MC will be fine, since he is the MC, after all. Some of the battle does makes me tense and rooting for MC victory. The zombies, especially the evolved ones feels more dangerous than other stories, it's quite grim. Also, the food description in the novel makes you hungry. So many kinds of food. Really.At the stage I'm reading, there's not much explored about the power of the MC so many things are still unclear. But the premise of the story is intriguing and I'm looking forward for more. This is quite a worthy read. Anyone who likes apocalyptic story should give this novel a try.The translator of the novel does a great job and the translation is easy to read. There are some typos or confusion, but it's only a few and doesn't really interfere with reading. Overall, the quality is good.
