Don't read this it's a waste of time!

The apocalypse part wasn't horrible but the last 20 or so chapters of the xianxia was the worst thing I've ever read in this genre!

The author is all about fluffy stuff that isn't even cute fluff! And there are senseless drama stuff littered everywhere! It's like they're trying to paint the picture of the perfect couple and supporting family and friends coupled with shrewd enemies but it's all just play pretend! Not authentic writing at all!

you will not enjoy reading this novel! The... more>> only reason I finished it is because I hate to drop a novel but the further I got in the chapters the worse it got! Mixing names, math mistakes and plot turns that pop out of nowhere without any logic whatsoever! <<less

To all the whiners, shounen ai = boy X boy| male X male | yaoi | gay and everything in between. Its there in the tags. Shounen Ai is the milder form of yaoi. Don't like it ? Don't read it. And learn about the tags for God's sake. Don't like anything homos*xual ? Then stay away from Yaoi, Yuri, shounen ai and shoujo ai tags. S*upid people who don't know about the tags and then leave bad reviews even though it's their own s*upidity. ???

Moving on. Its not... more>> a bad novel per se but I've definitely read better. Started off promising but on the latter chapters became rushed. There was a sudden shift to romcom in the latter chapters. Its good for a light reading. Don't look too deeply into the plot. <<less

This one is really good. A Zombie apocalypse with BL, aye.

It's got an interesting plot with all the supernatural powers 'n sh*t, it even explains clearly where/how the whole thing with zombies started.

Ughh, I need more of this. So far there's no s*x or even a kiss... I think the novel's plot is like half-serious, not necessarily serious enough to want to save the world or wholeheartedly focusing on surviving the apocalypse. It's kinda a lil' rushy in the beginning, like there's a lot of things happening but... more>> not enough of details about it.

Nevertheless, it's still interesting to read and I really like it. <<less

Currently reading....

OK I'm still on chapter 17 and I'm so pissed. These days I've been looking for novels about post apocalyptic. I don't mind reading hoarding novels but there's a freaking limit. What was the Mc's age again?... I forgot

... more>>
Spoiler

To start with, I don't mind him becoming Mary Sue after coming back. What boggles my mind is, how the heck no one questions why a young person is withdrawing all his money at bank!!!! 7 million and when he tells them to leave the room, they agree soo easily. And he disappears with the money and all. Why isn't he on the news?

Second. The warrant. It makes no sense they'd post a f*cking warrant when looking for someone. On top of that, the MC, on seeing that, quickly think about disappearing instead of questioning why the f the police or whoever posted that, are looking for him.

Third. He is an effing fugitive (willingly became). How can he go around buying things and people don't recognize him.

Fourth. When he is buying the hummer, author you mention that he cannot drive at all. Tell me why two paragraphs below, you had him "starts the engine of his car and drives it to the appointed place." I wouldn't have mind if 5 chapters later he magically starts driving, he's Mary Sue after all. But not 2 paragraphs later!!!

Fifth. Gasoline. 1 million dollar gasoline. Can it be bought that easy??? I...

[collapse]

17 chapters. I'm only on chapter 17 and the heaven defying laws are already high. I wonder how much more ridiculous things the author have added. I started this novel 3-4 days ago. I usually completes one in 1-2 days. Chapter 17, and the amount of time I had to put on hold the novel. So far even the hoarding is boring. I've been looking for an apocalyptic hoarding, and this isn't it.

Edit: stopped at 175

They were preparing for marriage before the big battle. Skipped some chapters to land on a completely different world. The novel suddenly went from apocalypse to Cultivation. Meh, not interested <<less

I certainly have a mixed feeling towards this story. It was... for lack of better words... a hodge podge... seriously. The author couldn't make up their mind about what concept to use when writing, so they just let their 'pen just flow' writing whatever came to mind. I wonder if they were indecisive or lazy or simply both. I can't say I dislike it, but it was truly confusing.

Pretty good so far so I'll keep on reading. However....

I would prefer if the MC didn't seem way too fortunate (space, plantation/food, clothing, etc) because it gives an unrealistic vibe during an apocalypse. Everything is solved using his Taoist/Monk abilities to which is gets very bland after awhile. The MC is the only one with special abilities but it would be better if people emerge with abilities (also gives an unrealistic vibe) I mean, for real how could everyone be plain and normal and the MC is the only one... more>> with an inter-dimentional space and powers. And like no one questions it. I appreciate the ML and the others for using human skills to get through most obstacles as it keeps things real though.

I will say the romance is gradual but where the love start is hard to pinpoint. The ML immediately gets intimate after a few exchanges with the MC and that's too quick. The interactions are very cute and heart-warming to read though.

I'll keep on reading since I like the story overall and want to know how the truth will come out regarding the MC rebirth and secret identity etc. <<less

Subpar, I'm surprised I actually got through so many chapters.

The MC is just way too OP, especially in the beginning. Seriously, golden fingers dropping out of the sky. Furthermore, there's nothing about this story that is all that original, and the characters aren't that developed either. The interesting point would be the unusual mix of zombies and cultivation, but it kinda feels like an out of place combination.

There's also a ton of plot holes and choppy storytelling. However, it is written / translated decently, so it's not an unbearable read.... more>> It's just not great. <<less

It's just meh for me. 2.5, rounded down.

I skimmed until the two male leads met, and its insta-love on ML's part, so I don't even get to be excited seeing their relationship develop. This kid got absolutely everything, and there's lots of cultivation in those first chapters. I just feel like this book tried to put in too much at once and it all just fails. And from what I've read in other reviews, it just gets worse from there.

I'll probably skim to the end because I can't stop reading... more>> a book once I've started, either skimming or finding spoilers, I just have to know how it ends. <<less

Despite the great plot setting I'm still put off by the fact of how these two guys met and cl**ked right off the bat!

I personally prefer slow development in terms of relationship. But this definitely doesn't follow that cos they just met and not a few conversations later, they start trusting each other enough to speak of their secrets and acting like they've known each other for ages!

Like for God's sake it's the Apocalypse!! Be a lil more vigilant, will you? Don't just get so familiar with each other so... more>> soon. I get all that predestined stuff but c'mon who doesn't like a lil tension cos that's what makes us look forward to the day they hook up all the more!

But in this case, NOPE! I really like the story but honestly I won't be able to continue reading this for this one particular reason. I just won't.. sigh..

Maybe I'll go back to continue reading it after I'm done ridding my displeasure over this fact but I don't think that's likely.. <<less

Maybe because I have read too many zombie apocalypse stories before coming to this one, it's not that great of a story because of how OP the MC is. Heirlooms and all and people learning stuff like writing on yellow paper with red ink during a zombie apocalypse isn't that appealing to me. I got bored of it knowing that the end would be ML and MC being super overpowered and having the lives of rulers. No matter how many plot twists there are, my patience to continue to read... more>> this is done so I'm not gonna finish it and leave it be. <<less

Please don't get confused about my rating of 4 stars. Those are given only for half of the first arc. I didn't read the 2nd arc (Immortal realm, starting with 176) and only barely managed to finish the first arc.

The reason for this will be explained below. In fact, my rating for Arc 1 is only 3 stars, the fourth one was added for the perfect translation. Thanks to the translator for finishing Arc 1 :) Well done!

Okay.

As common for apocalypse novel, it starts with the rebirth of MC (Huo... more>> Zaiyuan) after he was killed by his relatives during the escape from the zombies. He's a 2nd generation and starts with going back to his stepmother's place who wants to split the family. His father died and she wants to get the house for herself, so MC who knows about this agrees, demands money and the family heirloom (a writing brush) left behind by his father which *BADUM TSS* turns out to contain a space, including a cultivation inheritance.

He takes the money and leaves (Note, unlike other apocalypse novel, MC although having some money, still is not the kind of person who runs around basically buying several whole-sale markets at once, at least from my impression). MC tries to prepare for the upcoming apocalypse by gathering supplies, learning taosim from the inheritance and keeping a low profile. He's a strong MC and more or less due to the cultivation, turns into a "cold beauty" shou.

Unknown to MC, ML showed up at the villa shortly after MC left. ML is in search for MC because of a divination made by a taoism grandmaster (friend of ML's grandfather), that said ML needs to find MC to avoid his own death because of a bad fate or something like that.

Unable to get a hold of MC, ML starts chasing by even using a military search warrant. Erm.. oh, I forgot to introduce that guy XD
ML is Long Zhanye, 3rd generation soldier, smoker, ruffian and shameless.

ML is unhappy because he can't find MC, MC is also unhappy because of the search warrant and thus avoids any and all people with relation to police or army. Fast forward. Apocalypse finally happens, due to a variety of coincidences, MC and ML meet and start travelling together without knowing each other's identity.

They are strangers, but become friends and immediately after brothers. A few days later, MC's childhood friend shows up... unconscious as a prey of some gangsters.. getting rescued by MC and ML and that's the first time I got annoyed with the story.

Reason: That childhood friend... if placed in any other novel would be a cannon fodder whose life and death are only mentioned in passing with at most two sentences. But here? Crybaby makes a fuss. Ran away from his boyfriend because of a misunderstanding without even asking for clarifications, playing a 1.000.000 volt light bulb for MC and ML while trying to sell meng, chattering endlessly and being annoying as heck... Then his boyfriend shows up.. Childhood friend makes a scene, they get together again and this side-couple suddenly starts stealing screentime from MC and ML. ARGH! -.-

Anyway. They group up together, fight zombies, return to A City base (did anyone notice, the most powerful base in apocalypse novel is always in A city? xD) to reunite with ML's grandfather etc..

MC gets more powerful, ML gets more powerful, and suddenly, author-san takes the pot and smashes it to the ground.

Spoiler

MC turns out to be a reincarnation of a powerful cultivator, ML turns out to be the reincarnation of that cultivator's lover and is in fact a dragon cast out by his clan. A buddhist monk pops out of nowhere who's a friend of the cultivator and ML and brings his own lover along. Said lover hates MC for no reason. Why did those two even show up here?

MC's original body (of the cultivator) is found... MC's stepmother gets a cursed dagger from who knows where and kills MC in order to add some more unnecessary drama and angst. ML regains his memory of his dragon-self and the power along with it, transfers MC's soul back into his cultivator body... etc blah. Finally MC and ML find the origin of the apocalypse, fight the endboss of Arc 1 and then ascend into the upper realm (start of Arc 2)...

[collapse]

..........

Author-sama, honestly, if you want to write about cultivation novel with several realms, fine. If you want to write about dogblood with cursed items etc, fine. You wanna write about apocalpyse, cultivation, xianxia, slice of life... feel free to do so, but please don't just go ahead and smash it all into one pot (novel)... Make different novel out of it or turn it into a proper QT novel..... *sighs*

As much as I loved the beginning of Arc 1, at some point my disappointment grew with each new chapter and when it reached the cursing I seriously had to force myself to finish that arc.

I don't plan on ever reading the 2nd arc, but I'm catching myself re-reading the beginning of this first arc time and time again.. What should I say? *shrugs in helplessness*

It seems this novel and I are in a love-hate relationship and I still can't let go of it. <<less

I'll give it 3 stars because the first time I read it 3 years ago I loved it. This time around, I barely even liked it. If I was to rate it now, it probably be only 2 stars.

Read ShenHua's review, many of the issues they had with the story I did as well, but unlike their review I wasn't a fan of the MC and ML. I liked the concept of mixing zombie and cultivation, but this story was too bland for my taste. The ending arc was unecessary... more>> and dragged the story down further in my opinion.

The MC sounded more fun in his past life than the current. MC is the cold beauty type of Shou, not enough personality shines through. He could be a cold MC, but with more to him.

ML is more than the typical cold CEO type but he is kind of a jerk, it gets explained somewhat but I wish he was a bit nicer to his subordinats and wasn't as possessive over the MC. It almost like the MC can't have any interactions with anyone. I liked ML at the begining of the apocalypse more than the ending ML.

I do agree with another the wife and sister in law bits got annoying. I usually don't mind it much as long as the Shou is okay with it but the MC kept asking them to stop and they never do.

Not much drama or face slapping, mostly just fluffiness and cultivation. I like fluffiness and golden fingers so those parts were good to me, just wanted more from this story.

All in all not mad I read it the first time, but wish I didn't read it a 2nd. It's too bad too because I love zombie apocalypse bl.

Translation was great through all of them. I remember the first time around I MTL'd and had some issues with parts, so thank you translators! <<less

As a apocalyptic danmei with cultivation/taoist elements it was ok, I liked it better than the reborn otaku code and thrive in catastrophe.

BUT that second arc! Why?! It is better to think of the second arc as extras, bad written full of plot holes and unnecessary extras.

4.5 actually. It was a good read, it was different from the other apocalypse novels, you can say that the problem was really solved. The main couple are really nice, Huo Zaiyuan and Long Zhanye are really mtb hahaha. There is a side couple, and I found a comment here saying they dropped this cause of the side couple but there really wasn't much tho? It would be a waste to drop this. I even liked them (as someone who doesn't like other couples aside from mc's lol). I dropped... more>> this at chapter 188 and read the last chapter cause, , , I came here for the apocalypse, but I'm happy that they had a happy ending at last.

Spoiler

I like how it was different from the normal apocalypse by having the taoists and making the apocalypse caused by a demon or smthng. It was definitely different ok. The ML also wasn't a strong ability users like the others and they had to be scratch or bitten before they can become an ability user, altho that part I think, wasn't explained why? I liked the mortal realm, the cultivation realm, I stopped there cause I no longer felt like reading it, but the ending was good, lol HZY got praignant HAHAHA btw I do have a complaint tho, it seriously annoyed me. The smexy scenes by the main couple is less wordy than the other unnecessary and annoying villain side characters, seriously. Their actions are always narrated where you can easily imagine it but when it's the MC they are always cut off before you can even start to imagine anything. So annoying.

Was a unique read, reread? Hmm I think no. <<less

The extra star is for the REAL friends the MC has (ꈍᴗꈍ) it's rare for the shous/ukes/bottoms/0s to not only have friends but will always be a good friend throughout the story and I really and truly loved that.

Now for the general review; I listened to the translator and didnt continue after c176. That's because even though that gave a nice but vague ending, I would rather that, than to be hurt by the knives the author dished out without a true ending. They even disregarded everything the... more>> main CP gave up to be together! (ノಠ益ಠ) ノ彡┻━┻ (This is from the spoiler I read) Anyways, I love the ML the most in this story because he is mature when it comes to eating vinegar and even though he may have the desire to monopolize the MC, he won't chain him (MC) to his side. And his tantrums are very cute (~ ̄³ ̄) ~ I love love the fact that there was a limit to how long the MC can stay being lowkey and that the face slaps aren't extravagant. <<less

I really like MC and ML, but I'm really not fond of a second pairs in a novel. I dropped this because MC's friend and his bf. Don't get me wrong, the couple are really sweet. A little dog blood at the beginning of their appearance but they were mention so much that I lost interest in reading (that was because they were there from the beginning of the story). I mainly don't like the shou in the second pairs (T▽T).

I give this 3 stars just because I didn't hate the novel. At least, personally, the characters are likable. The ML is not the same as the others. The author didn't turn the ML as a domineering and jerk male lead. So, I like what the author did there. Another, the shou is also lovable not too much of a white lotus but at least a fighter in his way.

Now regarding the concerns of the previous reviewers of this novel, I would like to agree on some especially regarding the... more>> plot of the novel. When it comes to the fluffiness and sweetness of the couples, the author did a good job. BUT. When it comes to the apocalypse part:

Spoiler

The author spent more time on the MC gathering his materials in preparation for the incoming apocalypse. I feel like the author could have done it differently. Though I didn't hate the action of the ML and MC were playing the cat and mouse, I feel like it was lacking. I also like the approach on how the author subtly shows the past of the two characters. They did a good job already just slash the snipped parts. I couldn't really blame the author for that since china censors BL so much. So I just have to take it. Only if it continues to go on like that.

[collapse]

Also I disagree on those who says that the shou is overpowered.

Spoiler

In the novel, he wasn't like that. Not in a way that ML is overshadowed. They still need support from each other. I believe the others says that because the POV is centered on the shou so we get much information hence believing the MC is overpowered. In the end of the first arc, the ML can now cultivate so I disagree to those who says those. Only, if they say that the shou has so many advantages like the space and everything I agree to that, it's just that, just like the others the author didn't utilize it well. I still feel its lacking.

[collapse]

Honestly, there are plot holes and the fluidity of the plot was not good. Especially the transition between the apocalypse to cultivation. I don't hate this type of plot, I feel like it's refreshing because it's a combination of modern, cultivation, and then the apocalypse. I just hope the author had given this project more attention. I believe s/he should have more vision towards this novel. If only the author could have found a way to guide his/her reader from the changes. Since it wasn't done properly it ended up making the readers feel that the author just threw everything into this novel and that's it.

Seriously, this novel has great potential. If only the author gave more attention to it. So all I can say to those future readers if you are looking for a exciting and action pack novel. Hmm.. I advise to find others, this one, its not boring its not enough to satisfy yourself. <<less

Oh well, I'm satisfied with both endings. But, I think, I preferred the finale of the Apocalypse arc than the real finale.. Tho it's kinda cute to "end" the story like that..

Good BL apocalypse, but withheld one star because of the second arc that the translator so graciously spoiled in his review (thank you). An author who ruins their own work just to write more chapters is a sad thing, but no matter... I just won't read it.

Another reason why I withheld one star is because of the lack of snu snu (me sad?) !

This was a pretty good read. I'm stopping at chapter 176 though because the ending of the 1st arc is good enough for me. I don't really want to get into the immortal world arc because I came for the apocalypse (lol) and especially because it's only like 30 chapters and the translator says that the ending is a little iffy. So I'm gonna stick to my happy ending.
