This story made me smile, laugh and even cry. There were a few grammar issues that made it a little tiring to read but I am so glad I read it till the end. If you like BL, strong MC& ML, manly couples, post Apocalypse, devoted lovers then this is your book. And goodness, the ending made me cry.

don't worry it was a happy ending :)

Honestly I haven't finished reading this and I guess you could say this is a fun reading but the transphobia in this just rubs me the wrong way. In less than 30 chapters I had already found 3 slurs against lgbt, 2 of them being against trans people, the way the novel paints trans people also makes me really uncomfortable.

If you want to include these words no one is stopping you but at least give us an actual context in which theyre needed, some of those were just uncalled for.

But... more>> if you can ignore that, give it a shot. This is the first time I write a review for a novel I read, felt I needed to since no one said anything about it and praised it so much.

If you're trans or just heavily uncomfy with those, maybe this isn't the story for you <<less

Rate it 3.5, rounding it off to 4 stars.

I've read this way back when Polarbearadise first translated this novel, then MTLed all the way.

At that time, I think this novel is quite good despite its loopholes considering it was written in 2014. Compare it with other novels at that time, it was better. I think the author's idea was quite novel.

It's unfortunate that Dummy translations dropped this novel, since the quality of their translation was quite good and grammatically understandable.

I feel like I wasted so much time on this. The MC and ML are your typical shou and gong, MC is so dumb, like he is literally s*upid, and ML is overpowered, protective, the characters are so cliche. The story is at least funny and it did make me laugh at times. I'm actually a fan of apocalypse scenarios but I didn't like this that much, if you want a zombie novel there are much better ones out there. The baby part was dumb, how could MC not realize... more>> he was pregnant, he was in super denial idk how they were hiding it from him for so long. I skipped around and read the end, honestly it was just as I expected, it wasn't that good of an ending. Don't expect a masterpiece when reading this. Reading this once is enough. Read this if you have patience bc its really slow moving. Good to read if you have low standards and a lot of free time, no real drama between CP no/minimal angst, lots of comedic misunderstandings. <<less

5 stars ⭐️ forgot to rate 😢

First of all, this is a really satisfying and good read!!! Def worth it, I read this just before the start of a new school year to enjoy my last remaining freedom LOL and I am really ecstatic that I did BUT just a fair warning, the translations aren't the best. Like really. In the beginning, until chap 66 or smthng, the translations are good, so I had no doubt abt it, but it suddenly looked like MTL on the next chapters and my... more>> heart was broken cause im a bit (only a bit) of a grammar nazi, so I was hesitant to continue reading BUT I really couldn't drop it cause the story is so good and it didn't even matter if some lines were confusing as long as I understand what the whole premise of the scene is. BUT I think at some point in time, it got better? Not as good as the beginning chapters but not as bad as the middle chapters and there are just a few mistakes that can be easily understood so I am also glad for that. This is the first time for me to read an MTL-like translation so it's definitely memorable but if you guys have a connection to translators, PLEASE, PLEASE, recommend this. It's so good and it deserves a good translation, I mean even with a not-so-good translation it go a 4.4 ratings, u just know that this deserves attention!!

Now for the story itself:
Spoiler

The beginning? Catchy, I love this kind of stories, and the events are realistic, the way Zhan Bei Tian didn't really fell in love at first encounter or smthng, I love Mu Yi Fan's antics and sillyness. The messiness of the plot lol. Altho it was really annoying when characters/villains kept on reappearing cause MYF can't bear to kill them but I guess it's acceptable, after all, he know the best abt those characters and he isn't really from that world so he doesn't have much hatred for people cause there is still a bit of distance in his feelings or smthng, one thing I kind of hope tho is for MYF to have taken advantage of his knowledge, of being an author, cause there wasn't much difference about him and other book transmigrators when he is an author rather than a reader, oh I guess knowing about the unsaid powers is the only thing that he got from being the author, I was a bit annoyed that he wasn't active much in the plot, like he neither made it fast or slow esp when ZNT became the zombie king but I later realized that MYF doesn't consume human/zombie cores so it's only real that he couldn't be zombie king faster, but I guess he's just enjoying his stay lol. I love how characters didn't suddenly love him cause of his change and that they are still suspicious of him esp with his identity there. I love the relationships with the family, I kind of realized that family and daily life was really important here in this novel and it actually made me feel a bit closer to them. There wasn't much fight fr, so MYF and ZBT didn't really get to show their OPness and I actually think that the villain, Zhan nan tian, is too overly powered? I mean in their last fight, he was supposed to be injured but he still got to survive for so long against both MYF and ZBT when these two people are really OP. Rong Xue and Yi Hang are just plain annoying, they are just twisted and crazy person who doesn't wanna live lol. MYF end in the book is really sad and I was surprised cause this whole novel really got me laughing most times and it really made my mood better but I can't believe it can also break my heart that much 😭. Defeat cancer!! It was really sad, with Mu Qing Tian and ZBT, the words he said to MYF was really heartbreaking.. Then there comes the reality, I love it, it is so satisfying, ZBT book and reality are both loveable and Mu Qing Tian is BACK!! Btw lol with how the seed in the space really became a human HAHAHAHA MYF could have had a real large family in the book if he had the chance lol, the ending was satisfying, I feel so happy =))

For the character:

Mu Yi Fan, I love him, his dorkiness, his go with the flow (even if it was annoying sometimes), his realization of his love for ZBT, his sexyness, him seducting ZBT hahahaha, his OPness and mindfullness. Apart from the incident with zhang zi yue he was pretty cautious. His pregnancy lol, when the others told his story to grandpa hahahhaa, and when he gave the CD to his grandpa and the way he came out, it was just HAHAHHAHA poor grandpa. I love him, he is so funny and I just love him, he deserve so much <3

Zhan Bei Tian, I love his realness, how he really hurt MYF despite knowing he was mu mu and all of his actions in the beginning. Honestly, even I would fall in love with our mu mu. His sweetness to mu mu, his care for family, he's just really perfect. His respect for mu mu's wish regarding Zheng Jia Ming and Zhuang Zi Yue. This is what I like in BL, cause they got equal respect for each other, and both have the same control in the relationship, unlike in girlxboy, sometimes the story would just be the girl carrying the boy or the boy carrying the girl, there's a feeling that someone loves someone more/ cares for someone more. With MYF and ZBT, they are just 🥰✨

The other characters are also good, Gao Fei and his gang, Wang bing is appreciated separately HAHAHAH, Mu Qing Tian our lovely, clingy, baby. Liu Yi even if he was only there for a short while but he gave strength to ZBT. Zhan Family an Mu Family's reactions are realistic and their filial peity, even the book MYF has it. Shu zi hao and the gand with their realistic feelings and treatment to MYF. Zheng Guo smthng, who had an appearance in reality hehehe. I love them all, and I'm gonna miss them

[collapse]

Worth it! Not the best translations so if you can recommend this to translators to give it the attention it deserves!! Would reread? Def, if there is a better translation someday!! <<less

One word for this Novel - Awesome

I just can't review this book because I don't have words to describe it. Apart from MC, ML & the plot, Jin Yuanbao's writing and translated works was so great that I actually laugh when they (the characters) had fun, cried when they were sad & celebrated when they celebrated. I can't review such Masterpiece in a para.

Just have some words to say to the public reading my review "Just Go & Read it"

Dropped the novel after MC failed to realize
Spoiler

that he was pregnant for over 40 chapters. That joke trope dragged on too long and I just could not continue reading. I understand some characters are just dense or s*upid because that's the trope but that is not the type of character I was hoping for in this setting

Translation: 2.5/5

Plot:3/5

Characters: 3/5

Babies: 1, 2, 1

The plot is somewhat novel and the characters are entertaining, but the tropes get a little repetitive and the translation quality lowers the enjoyment level. Read the ending spoilers and moved on.

Seriously such a well written novel! The translations are a bit iffy sometimes, but they did their best to translate the story.

The characters here are all delightful and when I say characters, I don't just mean the MC, ML and villain. In this novel, EVERY character is fleshed out with a name and personality. In fact, it might be a little hard to keep track of since a lot of the names look quite similar (especially the family members). There's a huuuuge cast.

I actually have an exam to write in... more>> two days but I literally couldn't stop reading this novel once I started.

I had a bit of bias before I started the novel. I'm not into zombies, vampires and undead stuff, because, corpse! But the zombies in this world isn't really like that. As long as they aren't low level zombies (which are like the movies) but have a consciousness then they are more similar to like, demon sect cultivators in those xuanxia type novels. Actually, the whole power system really reminds me of cultivation style novels, which probably is why I liked the novel so much.

Spoiler

One thing that was never explained was Zhan Bei Tian's space. I thought it was inherited since Qing Tian bead is an heirloom but not a single person in his family from father to grandpa knows that it's anything beyond a bead. Like...??? He's the only person in the whole world who has a supernatural thing before the apocalypse?

[collapse]

The fight scenes in the novel were actually fun to read. I confess, usually I skip ahead with fight scenes but I actually read the ones in this novel. They were actually entertaining. The ending of the novel was very satisfactory for me as well. <<less

....

I can't even say some words that can describe what I feel and like about this novel.

But, I can say for whoever like zombie-reborn world genre, welcome to this novel.

The story line is more focused how to survive from the zombie, cultivated power and family-friend relationship. The romance is not too slow or too fast, but perfect and we can see the chemistry MC and ML build together in every chapter.

I love this so much even I memorize the day of the updated newly chapter lol

Actually brought me to tears LMAO I absolutely love this couple's dynamics! Mu Yifan's personality is not all dead... though sometimes I think he's a little too OP but eh, overlook that and you'd realise that the novels plot is actually pretty interesting and hooks you in. Took me 5 days to finish reading and that's because I binged it.

One of the best danmei bl novel i've read. I love the MC, the ML, the plot, the supporting characters, everything. Not one bit did I regret MTL-ing this all the way to the end. I love the sweetness between the MC and ML. Everything was beautiful that I wish the author could write some extras after the novel. It's one of the novels that I would love to re-read again in the future.

The main character is a spoiled kid so he is naive and dumb.

... more>>
Spoiler

He isn't afraid to kill people and has no humanity towards them because he believes them as characters in a book until he met the male lead who looks like his childhood friend. He did not kill and instead took his time and made his situation worse. I stayed for a while because I wanted to see if he had some back bone but he did not and I was getting tired of him acting like a spoiled kid, which is in-line with his character, since everyone spoils him.

[collapse]

The male lead... I really think he is sweet but for him to easily fall in love with someone naive and dumb after the apocalypse???

Spoiler

He does not even realised its Mu Yifan until the phone incident!! He literally is your worst nightmare and killer and you have worked with him in the army for so long how could you not atleast remember his outline and body shape like you're so easily fooled with a few bandages on his face! And Mu Yifan didn't even bother trying to change his voice much, he got lazy and you turned off your IQ and think its so unlike the OG Mu Yifan to be acting dumb like bruh how are you not vigilant??

[collapse]

Just don't bother reading it unless you're here for fluff and good time. Just turn off your IQ unless you want to lose them😑 <<less

I’ll be honest with you, I like the novel, I really did. But this MC became quite annoying and s*upid to me.
I don’t know if I’m the only one who has the mentality that the ML from the novel is completely different from the ML from the actual reality, so for me to see the MC with the ML from the actual reality was so painful and irritating.

yes I know that it turns out that they’re actually the same person later on l, but the MC didn’t know that... more>> at that time. So right then to me he betrayed the Zhan Bie tan of the novel just for some else that looked like him in his reality. Because if we ignore what the author to did by making them the same person later on after the accident you’ll see that the only reason MC accept the ML from the reality is because of the time and memories the MC shared with the ML from the novel. And tbh I’m not alright with. <<less

It was a fun and interesting read, especially the concept with MC as a former Zombie King. After reading a few apocalypse novels, I realize that for a reader like me, I kind of dislike the desperation and the chaos that comes with this kind of genre, unless the plot or a funny main character makes the story somewhat light hearted. Mu Yifan does that for me.

Though it wasn't mind blowing or anything. As another reader said, it kind of felt like fast food, one thing happens then another. The... more>> plot points doesn't tie in with each other as thoroughly and the MC doesn't prepare enough for the future despite knowing a lot. But this could be explained away by the MC feeling like he doesn't belong in the novel world. He wasn't from there in the first place, why would he put himself in the role of maximizing humanity's survival from the get go. He was mainly focused on preventing ML from killing him. Which makes sense. It's only after he found purposes or he got attached that he started to help with planning and stuff.

Also about the antagonists

Spoiler

Zhan Nan Tian ended up being my favorite/most memorable character in the novel despite being the enemy haha. He's just so fun. Not saying I like his morals but he's just very interesting whenever he appears. Maybe because he is somewhat key to advancing the plot and the new information he brings to the story.
On the other hand, the other antagonists just feel one dimensional, like your typical c-novel villains. I wish they were written in a different way instead of being so braindead. Maybe it's because our silly MC is the one who wrote the original novel. Maybe they were meant to be that way ¯_ (ツ) _/¯

Like why was the stepmom so mean from the start? Wouldn't it be more logical to manipulate Mu Yifan by being nice to him? Or maybe she already tried that and Mu Yifan didn't buy it. So she gave up on winning him over and just wants him gone (while maintaining surface peace). But I still don't get why she wouldn't want to treat Mu Yifan well. MC gave up Mu Yifan's shares. MC never harmed her or her son. MC can help her and her son. It's more beneficial to have a good relationship than a bad one? Maybe the original Mu Yifan wasn't that good either. He didn't like the "homewrecker" and a younger brother so he dealt with it immaturely or something. So it started from there.

Anyways I just wish it wasn't like this. Maybe I'm biased because I don't like drama or dog blooded plots.

[collapse]

female characters

Spoiler

Also there aren't any good female characters. They are either evil or just npc side characters like survivors or relatives.
There is the original female lead but she just gets pushed to the side... The story barely mentions her even though she was so close to the ML in his past life. Even if ML loves MC now, shouldn't she still play a key role in fighting?
This is a minor thing though.

it’s a decent novel but MC was treated unfairly so often that I kept getting mad.
Spoiler

not to mention the ending when he gets turned back into a human (vaccine) for no f*cking reason and surprise surprise he dies from cancer he had when he was human! ML had to travel to MC's real world to meet him lol. It’s a good ending but it was frustrating.

  • Starting off with the translation is perfect.
  • Honestly wish I dropped it 30 chapters ago. My advice to you, don't read it, and waste your time.
  • There's no plot whatsoever so far nothing new or groundbreaking.
  • The writing is mediocre.
  • It's been sixty chapters with no story, or character development (which is much needed MC sucks)
  • Wish I dropped it 30 chapters ago, rather than torturing myself.
  • Spoiler

    Till now this is a sh*t show, Mu Yifan (MC) is thinking about mu*dering Zhan Baitian (ML) all the time, for no valid reason, while deceiving everyone around him. Meanwhile, ZB is hiding the fact that MY's pregnant even if it has risks on his body like the doctor warned.
