Salted Fish Transmigrated Into An Apocalyptic Book

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Jiang Miaomiao transmigrated into an apocalyptic book and became an insignificant cannon fodder. Considering all the brutal encounters behind, she decided to lie down and peacefully wait for death. She stayed at home and lived as long as she could.

In order to eat and drink well before she dies, she stored a lot of supplies.

Unexpectedly, one day a man broke into her house and was even more salty than her. He stayed and refused to leave. Her three boxes of potato chips were eaten up by that man. Her six boxes of river snail rice noodles were eaten up by that man. Her ten boxes of walnuts were also gnawed by that man!

Jiang Miaomiao was furious and decided to drive him out. So she secretly followed him in the middle of the night and saw him walk into a horde of zombies with a knife on his hands. He looked handsome as he easily killed those zombies.

The man came back and washed the blood stains. She was pushed to wake up while she was pretending to be asleep, “Give me a spicy duck neck.”

Jiang Miaomiao gave it to him decisively with both hands, “Eat, it’s all yours!”

A magical thing happened since then, her supplies… Why is it continuously increasing?

I read the translator's chapters then MTL'd to the end. MC transmigrates into a zombie apocalypse novel and decides to live well before she dies, but the ML crashes at her place and upsets all her plans.

Together, the MC and ML try to live their slice of life story while fighting against an ever-evolving zombie horde, and survive in severe isolation with higher and higher stakes.
Spoiler

I found this a more realistic/scary setting than the fluff I usually read. There's no functioning society, electricity, running water, internet or media for most of the story, and it's just the two of them scrambling to find food, water, and prevent stronger and stronger zombies from tearing into their home.

The story and the MC's character development progressed well, but later in the novel, time passes too quickly and the plot becomes vague and only broadly outlined as the MC and ML reach their happy ending.

This is such a realistic apocalyptic novel. As a fellow salted fish, I definitely see myself thinking and doing the same things as FL.

As much as possible, avoid danger, enjoy life leisurely, and rather die quickly than being bitten by a zombie. FL (Miaomiao) is like that. She wanted to live longer in comfort so she stockpiled her inventory and barricaded herself in her house. She decided to honestly wait for death once she consumes all her supplies until a wild ML appeared. ML (Qiming) is strong, smart, and handsome... more>> but his personality is a bit roguish and annoying. He has a sharp tongue and he often bickers with FL throughout the novel. They didn't fall in love at first sight or in a fast pace since they both really had different personalities. Turns out ML is also a salted fish in the making so both of them still got along and was able to survive together. Initially, it was just ML running out to bait the zombies to protect FL but later on, FL learns to protect herself after being taught by ML. Step-by-step, they go from being strangers to forced housemates to roommates to life-and-death partners to lovers to family. I actually really like how smooth their relationship development went like it just sort of happened in the end. ML is a really good lover to FL and FL learns to not give up on her life to be with ML.

There were not many characters in the novel as most of the novel centered on the daily lives of ML and FL, and later on with their dog. The OGleads of the novel were not portrayed as jealous white lotus b*tches and bastards and were actually true to their OGnovel personalities. OGFL even ended up becoming friends and even comrades with FL for a short time. I also really liked the possible dad of FL's body lol. It would definitely be funny if his daughter who he treasured so much really did end up marrying and giving birth to the children of the comrade that he betrayed 20 years ago lol.
Spoiler

Yes, ML's actual age is 48 years old as his body age stayed at the age of 26 for over 20 years. ML was experimented on that's why he could initially resist becoming a zombie after being bitten. Because of this, he became the source of the vaccine research at the end of the novel. Thankfully, he wasn't experimented too cruelly.

[collapse]

All-in-all, the novel is a truly slice-of-life apocalyptic novel which, I think, is such a rare gem. It's extremely short, too and it didn't have too many ups-and-downs in the plot. There's no antagonists in it aside from the zombies (I'd like to think that the little boy zombie that they used and then buried in the beginning reincarnated to be their son but ofc that's probs not the case). I definitely recommend reading this for all those salted fish out there like me~ <<less

Well it is a very good story and the romance is very well written, I don’t know but later on the story became a little boring (?) probably it was just because it is not my cup of tea

This story basically just have 2 characters (the leads) and some animals who the leads adopted. Cannon fodders appear near chapter 50 probably.

If u like drama and a story that don’t focus just in the leads I would not recommend this novel

If u want a simple story about daily life in A... more>> zombie apocalyptic I would recommend this story, just like real life this novel the characters or zombies don’t have superpowers.

well if u just want to pass some time fell free to read this novel <<less

I'm a zombie apocalypse fanatic and I started this nivel thinking this was your average op MC and full of fluff. Boi was I wrong.

Pros :

The progress of MC as a person. I've grown attached to the MC. There's something about her that reminded me of myself. She not op and fragile, she's in despair but keep telling herself that everything is okay. Also, she worked hard to improve herself and know her own shortcomings.

The ML, he is different from other ML that I read. He actually helped MC becoming... more>> a better person. He cared about MC and they have a good understanding about eachother.

The pacing, oh god. The suspense and action is on point. The author could pull you into the story, it's not something a mediocore writer could do.

The story is good, the sypnosis isn't doing the novel a justice. My fav part is when MC and ML escaped to a small island and live the cottagecore life.

Cons :

I'm quite partial to this novel, partly because it's not easy to find a BG zombie apocalypse novel that could satisfy me this much. <<less

The novel is good and it is realistically portrayed. But the author made the MC really stup*d. She said that her age is 27 yet she didn't even have common sense nor basic knowledge (the person she was transmigrated into is 21). A grade schooler is even better than her. 😅 She's also insensitive and a little selfish (realistic since no one is obliged to help someone but her being more stup*d than a school grader is really unrealistic) Below are the list of her s*upidity ... more>>

>In the closed house how could chicken and other raw foods come. Also the sanitary napkin. She had a list and knew she didn't have one.

Damn, despite being a slice of life, it's so emotionally charged. Having very few characters sure does make it more emotional since all the focus is on the main characters.

I can actually feel the deep bond and mutual dependence between them through the screen. I've never rooted for a couple so much before.

There are heartwarming moments, there are heartbreaking moments. Overall a worthy read.

This is a 100% masterpiece! 😍 The comedy is hilarious and the thrill is legit. In every chapter, I find myself either laughing my lungs off or holding my breath because of a sudden invasion. Don't forget the cute interactions between the MC and the ML, they're so cute and hilarious at the same time. 😂 I really thank the translator for picking up this gem and showing it to us readers, I'll wait patiently for more awesome chapters! If you read this, you definitely won't regret it! 😂

It's a cute story. So far, the story is just MC + ML and zombies, no other characters. There's only 54+4 chapters, so I'll finish this eventually.

10/10 100% would recommend

The story is short but concise. The love story doesn't feel rushed, forced or fake. You can see and feel very clearly the moment the characters start to fall in love with each other, all the growth they go through. Discovering their wounds, sharing their excitement, crying in their worst moments with and for them, laughing at their antics, it was so well written that even if it's a short story I will never forget Qiming and Miao Miao.

I loved it!
Spoiler

Although I much preferred the beginning and middle parts where they were alone compared to the rest

[collapse]

It was funny and kinda SoL but not devoid of the horrors of the apocalypse. The characters are far from OP so you feel more anxious for them than a lot of the apocalyptic novels I’ve read. I also love that these were mostly basic zombies, no super powers. I do enjoy those stories too but the more fantasy aspect of it sometimes takes away from the fun of the survival genre that a basic zombie apocalypse genre provides!

In any case I read it in a day and think many ppl can enjoy this story.

1.5 DNF Stars

Considering I read more than halfway and lost interest every new chapter, I didn't want to waste more time forcing myself to finish this one.

The beginning of this Cnovel started out hilarious and cute, setting the stage for a slice-of-life apocalypse story that's wholly focused on the main couple. But it became a huge slice of SOL and I couldn't stay focused on the characters' antics after the halfway point.

... more>> TRANSLATION

Starts off spectacular with the Wattpad translator, decent with the edited MTL from Mia's MTL, and finished on another edited MTL site. The second site starts off really rough. Definitely could have had a second pass or even an editor to fix sentence flow because things just made no sense. The website is finnicky too, since it doesn't have clear links for the next chapter and, like another reviewer said, tons of ads (I get having ads to support the site, but pop-ups are a bit Too Much). It gets better as you read and the sentences become more legible. Definitely readable from beginning to end, just expect the quality to decrease a bit.

THE BEGINNING

Story starts off with the FL Miaomiao transmigrating into the book she read and prepping for the apocalypse, estimating that she'll just be a salted fish for three months and die by su*cide once the zombies get to her. At first her perspective is endearing and understandable. Fate has other plans in store, as the ML pops into her villa more than a month in and helps her survive against the zombies. Here's where her perspective gets a little annoying... Miaomiao is very hot-and-cold with the ML and I don't have a lot of patience for tsundere characters. She continues her salted fish (basically mooch) mentality for more than half of the book and it wasn't until I stopped reading (around chapter 30-ish) where she changed her perspective and started to want to live and fight against the zombies. Inspired by the ML, of course. And sweet moments start happening as well. But again, all this happens around the chapter 30-ish mark.

THE DOWNFALL

Other readers who are more knowledgeable have better-worded complaints on the world-building and character logic for apocalypse survival. It doesn't seem like the author put a lot of research into a zombie apocalypse scenario, which is honestly fine. I read Cnovels as a way to shut off my brain so this doesn't bother me too much. But if you're not going to focus on creating a logical setting, then you could at least focus more on the plot/characters. The downfall came due to the lack of anything substantial happening in the middle of the story. Again, huge emphasis on slice of life. I'm tired of hearing the FL complain about how scary the zombies are and see her struggle with the chainsaw the ML got for her due to her weak, skinny and pale arms. Tired of seeing the ML plan their survival and save her from the zombies. Tired of even hearing about him being a good cook. Quite frankly, the FL is giving cannon fodder. I was so tired of waiting for her character development I had to drop the story.

If you're looking for a strong heroine type of novel, you won't get it here. The FL isn't physically strong by any means, and has to rely on the ML to have mental strength to survive in the apocalypse.

The ML is fine but basic. Good at everything, saves the day, 8 pack abs, pretty stoic but treats the FL sweetly, blah blah blah. MLs like him are a dime in a dozen.

TL;DR: Got tired of waiting for the FL to step up. Too slice of life-y for a zombie apocalypse book and I got tired of reading about the CP's life. <<less

This is surprisingly good. I didn't expect much, just got interested because of the rating, but it hooked me, and I finished it in one go.

The author did a great job of creating a suspenseful situation. Many times, I had to stop reading because the situation was so bleak, and I felt dreadful due to their hopeless circumstances.

The novel focuses mainly on the ML and FL (and the dog). From the start, I really love the ML. He's strong and resourceful, not overpowered tho. Despite getting injured again and again,... more>> he remains positive and works so hard for both of them.

Although initially put off by the FL's complaints and pessimism, her transformation into a strong, proactive character battling zombies to keep him save made me love her so much.

Their love story is a highlight. I love that their relationship starts slowly, way more realistically. With only 58 chapters, their love story is so strong and consuming. I strongly feel their happiness when they lived in the villa, in the hotel, and then on the island. And my heart dropped when they faced disasters again and again.

Spoiler

They got their well-deserved happy ever after together. Not only them, even the dog found its own partner

FL is cute as she hoards food and easily thinks of accepting death since she has no skills in the apocalypse and meets strong and smart ML who questions how shes alive. Another great apocalypse romance novel

Not exactly my cup of tea but don't get me wrong. The story isn't bad, I just wasn't in the mood for it. This novel is through and through Slice of Life, it's very iyashikei.

I'm sure if I read this when I'm in the mood for SoL, I would love it but I underestimated how much SoL it has. I was expecting a fast paced SoL but it is a very slow life.

MC met ML pretty early on, the story is pretty much how they bickers every day and how... more>> they build a new home in the middle of apocalypse. With a sprinkle of tiny action here and there, this story is really slow paced.

I skipped some chapters because of how slow it is but honestly that bias aside, if you're in the mood for slow life SoL, I think this is a solid one to read.

I really love the relationship between MC and ML. They had a very nice chemistry.

I don't have much to say for now but if I ever read this again with the right mood, I will give this review another go. <<less

It was a good novel, mtl was quite easy as half of the novel is translated. I liked it from the start but I think it was dragging in the middle a little bit. What I liked the most is the bickering between the ML and fl, they were hilarious even in the apocalypse, and I felt so bad for them when ML was in the research lab. It made me cry around the last. But still I really liked it

This novel is probably the best written apocalypse horror you can find on this platform.

It pictures pretty realistically (for the genre) how life would be after the death of 99% of the world's human population. There would be no water, electricity, the food would rot and the houses would be overrun by vegetation in no time.

The female and male leads are hilarious, their love develops slowly and believably. They saw each others at their worst, they know each other every little flaw, and still love each other.

And the ending is... more>> perfect for them, after humanity goes back to normalish life they stay true to their nature of "salted fishes" and live happily like that 😂 <<less

I accidentally found this while searching for another story and I'm glad I found this cause reading this was one of the best choices I've ever done. Some of the scenes made me cry and I love the balance between the comedy and the drama. The switch between the humor and drama is also well written. I also like how this is more lighthearted compared to other zombie stories out there where it's always a do or die situation every single chapter though the zombies here are pretty strong in... more>> the later chapters. At least here, we do get some fluffy scenes in between the hardships and FLs mentality is not really the "I want to survive", she just wants to enjoy her salted fish life before she die. The chemistry between the FL and ML is adorable, they tease each other a lot but they do show their soft sides when they're in a dangerous situation. I do recommend this story if you're into survival stories + comedy + romance. <<less

This is a great apocalyptic/ romance mix novel.

I love the way the story developed. The challenges the MC & ML faced throughout made them feel so relatable and admirable.

I also love the character development of FL which you can truly see as you read on.

Overall great novel when you like apocalypse genre with romance.
