The End of The World’s Reborn Cannon Fodder Counter-attacks

I’ve been reborn? Xiao Ziling, who was facing the eve of the apocalypse, pulled a bitter face. The apocalypse isn’t easy to live in, you know!

In order to have a good life in the future, he must first hug a big, thick thigh. Xiao Ziling’s eyes are on the apocalypse’s future king, Chu Zhitian. He strived to be his reliable and capable Younger Brother, in hopes of being protected under this tree’s shade.

Only, why is it so hard to accomplish this small goal?

This big brother, you are a cheat carrier, you should be able to call the wind and summon the rain. Why the hell are you fighting with me for the Younger Brother position?

That big sister who transmigrated, you want to sponge on my family’s Big Brother? Also, please don’t think of me as a thorn in your side. My s*xual orientation is very normal.

Cold-faced little brother, do not always look at me with those suspicious eyes. History has never had someone as ordinary as me. I am a reborn man.

Little sister selling meng, where did you come from? Why are you clearer on future events than I am?

……Your mom, what kind of world is this? Xiao Ziling was left in disarray – this world has a diverse variety of transmigration and rebirth loophole cheats everywhere. Even becoming a younger brother requires you to compete for it. Xiao Ziling was seriously under great pressure!

Seems like a big thick thigh must definitely be hugged securely, Xiao Ziling realized.

There are several things that might be wrong tagged by NovelUpdate:

  1. this novel is YAOI, not shounen ai - as everyone know, shounen ai = no smexy scene, more to bromance, but yaoi got ALL OF THAT, and this novel got like 3 direct chapter on how ML indulge MC. (they are making *cough* in 3 sequence chapter.. nosebleed...)
  2. this novel has 279 chapter + 2 extra (novelupdate tag as 246 chapter) - when its getting to 246 chapter, I was surprised since
    Spoiler

    MC haven't been able to accept ML yet, he always thought ML as a big brother and he as a younger brother when suddenly ML wants to roll sheet (making smexy scene) with him

    [collapse]
    , I was shocked, is this novel Bad Ending?? No, it was not, because it has 279 chapter.
I don't know how to change the information, so I'll just write it here.

As for the story, It was sooo damn good that I was reluctantly wanted to read all in one sitting, thinking that after I read this awesome novel, will I meet another good quality novel like this? (I am the kind of person who like to eat things I like sloooooooowly)

MC in this novel was hell-bent to be the younger brother to ML that he willing to sacrifices everything to achieve that. ML was touched and think MC as his younger brother but he has no clue why he wanted to kiss (he kiss him) MC so much, is this how elder brother treat younger brother? (Nope, absolutely not!) ML was kind of a guy who thinks married with women is the thing he should do, he never thought of marrying a guy, which leads to a lottt of misunderstanding (on ML part). Their interaction is cute and I really like 2nd couple (but there is not so much bout them, .·´¯` (>▂<) ´¯`·.) the fighting sequence, the betrayal, the mystery and new abilities are written excellently, which makes me engaged in this story.

MTL was okay, you can understand the story well, but I still wait for the translator, it worth to read several times. Totally recommend this novel, (5/5)

Wow! I am surprised with how much I enjoyed MTLing this novel.

I read non-stop (minus sleeping, eating and nature calling) for 200+ chapters, stopped for awhile when the plot slows down and read til the end when the plot pick up.

The plot development is quite solid, though the author used lots of common troupes but there's an interesting plot twist. The MC kept babbling that he's a total cannon fodder in his past lives but!

... more>>
Spoiler

He's actually acquaintance with ML, the golden thigh. Turn out the ML even loved him but was too s*upid to realized his own feeling and slept around with women instead. Only when MC died did he realized his feeling. But NOPE, baby! It's too late! MC is already dead.

[collapse]

I love the management of the base they formed, even from the first small base in the early days. There's a clear role for everyone, even for the survivors with no abilities. They even have uniforms for different groups, with different names. The organisation itself is one of the thing that I love to read in this novel.

They also have frequent fight scenes, against zombies and human enemies alike, and every scene was beautifully described. I can even create the image in my mind while reading.

Spoiler

And ML later subdued a zombie cat while the son later took in a zombie companion, which I find really interesting to read. They even have mutant pet dogs. I haven't seen that yet!

[collapse]

The MTL also not that hard to read for everyone interested. So do give it a try. <<less

Hate it. 100 first chapters are good but after that LAME..

The uke was strong but too weak in front of the seme, he even accept to be harassed sexualy & still believe in seme that it was all just normal.

The uke accepted the seme treatment to put his strength in secret so no one knows with reason it could be a secret weapon which is BULLSHIT. It only make a lot of people doubt the uke strength and AGAIN the uke felt it was normal.

The story is so freaking dull.... more>> I can't let myself finished reading the story. The 200 chapters that I read are already too much. <<less

decent novel, though there are some logical inconsistencies you have to ignore and some bad editing on the authors part. Like how his sunglasses are off one moment and back on the next without him having put them there, or when one chapter he's 3rd order and few chapters later he's peak 2nd and a few chapters after that he's 3rd order again.

added to that there is the chaos of this being... more>>
Spoiler

a story within a novel (??maybe??), the MC being reborn, other people being reborn, at least one person with a game system and more than one person transmigrating into the book from the future. Also the reborn MC mentions "the book" so he seems to know he's inside a book?? Or that could just be more bad editing by the author, I don't know.

[collapse]

some of the side characters disappear for large chunks of time, like the MC's little Aunt, who shows up for a paragraph or two and vanishes again; there is no real sense of connection with any family members (or team members) except the ML and CXQ so I'm not sure why the author bothered introducing them in the first place. the MC himself is a confusing contradiction; it's like the author started out wanting to make him smart, world weary, strong and self sufficient but then changed their mind part way and decided to make him a typical s*upid shou, then regretted it and made him bounce back and forth instead. So sometimes he comes across as smart and jaded and other times he's so childish and naive that you wonder how he survive for ten years on his own before dying the first time.

the ML is domineering and OP, like every other ML, and only nice to the MC, though he tolerates his "brothers" on the team. He's almost as dense as the MC when it comes to matter of the heart so its well over 100 chapters before he even begins to realize he might like the MC. The romance part of this novel is so slow it will frustrate readers to no end. If really slooooooow romance annoys you, you won't like this story. You might try reading it as a generic zombie apocalypse story instead. For me, my interested kinda lost momentum at around chapter 180 and I had to force myself to finish (i might have skipped a few chapters).

the ending was ok but not surprising. I figured out the truth of CXQ many, many chapters ago so having it spelled out was kind of redundant. this is my fifth or sixth zombie apocalypse book (not counting quick wear worlds) and they all seem to go about the same. The Chinese seem to have an obsessive need to group together and somehow the ML always ends up as the boss of a big base/country/world. There's yet to be an ending where the MC and ML say "screw this, I'm going fishing" and refuse to take power. Me, i'd rather go fishing than deal with all the politics. <<less

I was actually finished for quite some time now but I haven't written the review yet. And when I see the rating is lower than what it should be I decide to come over and write something.

This story is good. Very nice setting, good plotline, and each character has theirs own uniqueness.

It's a long story and to be honest, I expect a little more towards the end. But it still very good as it is.

MC was not that cute all the way through but he sell meng for living, so....... more>> yeah. He has his own story. And as you might expect, he was very OP.

ML was good and, yes, very vey OP. His past with MC still confused me quite a bit.

And my favorite was Chu Xiao Qi, but l'm not going to spoil the key point of this. Anyway, he was a lovable child.

The interesting thing of this story is MC was not the only abnormal one, there were some reborn, transmigration, etc. Normally those would throw me off, but this wasn't because it written so well that I wasn't feel forced.

One of the good and worth reading zombie/apocalypse BL theme novel. Try this!!! <<less

Oh my Lord, what are all these 5 star ratings coming from? Did you guys never read anything good in your life?

The language is sooo tr*shy, so do all the translations, they felt more like mtl rather than an actual work.

The plot is an absolute garbage. The premise was interesting, being reborn into apocalypse with a golden finger and so on - this part is all right. But that is all, later it got so much worse.

What are all those messy skill settings? Why there are cultivation, abilities with zombie... more>> core and rpg skills in one flask? Why are they shouting their skills like in rpg? Who taught them all that knowledge after just 3 days in apocalypse? Like - has everyone had information booklets been sent by mail, explaining how the world would be functioning?

ML should be called tsundere, but I will name him an a**hole. Except the constant bickering and "cold disgusted glares " I couldn't see any of his "perfect leadership characters".

MC is soo bland. He is described as clumsy and naive - sure, these certain qualities allowed him to survive in harsh zombie environment for ten years. Never learning a bit. Suuure.

And don't get me started on the dialogs and actions of everyone there - people do NOT behave and talk like that.

This novel is tr*shy and it's plot is falling apart right from the very beginning. Wake up folks. <<less

This novel is so good!!!! It's funny, interesting, and doesn't leave you hanging too much with explanations like a lot of these stories do; the author does a fantastic job of tying everything together in the end! Just when you think you know how the rest of the story will go, the author goes in a different direction (that still makes sense) that compels you to keep reading. I think the author did a fantastic job integrating all of the different reborn/transmigrated characters into the world of the novel without... more>> bringing them in just to act as cannon fodder or one time villains who get face slapped then die/disappear.

What I'm most impressed about, however, is the author's portrayal of the MC. He's good, for the most part, but there are times you can't help but feel dissatisfied with some indecisive/laid back responses of his. But, towards the end of the novel,
Spoiler

you start to see the MC wasn't such an innocent black belly as you thought, carefully calculating everything, including his and the ML's feelings. What's even better, however, is you get to see his conflict with becoming the sort of person willing to go that far just to live. Unfortunately, perhaps due to me using MTL to read the raws or because of the story itself, we don't really get to understand the origin of the 'black' Xiao Ziling. This is especially apparent when you learn a bit about what happened in the previous life and how/why the MC was reborn

[collapse]

Either way, it's a great novel that I strongly recommend to anyone who wants a new take on the 'reborn in an apocalypse' genre. Even if you're not into BL, you'll enjoy it as the BL doesn't become a focus until way late in the novel. The first 75% of it is really just the MC's attempt to earn the trust of the ML so he can live free and easy, despite it seeming like everything and everyone is trying to prevent that. <<less

There aren't that many chapters out atm, but judging from the synopsis, I can tell this novel will make me laugh. The latest chapter 6 already has some foreshadowing about the other transmigrators, rebirthers, reincarnates, and all those other "immigrants"--and the MC is aware of the possibility too so that tells us that he isn't dumb. The MC, Xiao Ziling, died and was reborn and got himself a cheat--typical rebirth scenario. The difference is that they explain how he got his cheat early on so the author isn't just pulling... more>> things out from thin air, but there are definitely still some things regarding the specific skills/cultivation/powers of the rest of the world itself as well as the cheat that can be expounded on later. So far all we know is that after the apocalypse people's bodies categorized as speed-types, power-types, etc as well as the standard cultivation earth, fire, water, etc spirit roots.

All we can get from the current chapters is that the MC and his family are super close. Also there's that "you can't change fate" thing where he tries his best to get his aunt by his side to ensure her safety but just like his previous life he fails to do so. His cheat isn't that overpowered (though there is definitely potential). He has to work his bu*t off for it though because of his own bodily composition's shortcomings.

This is shounen ai, so just a heads up there. ML hasn't shown up yet, but my first guess is that he's the leader and the big thigh that he wants to hug (the thigh that also wants to hug MC's too, so most likely also a rebirth guy). All I can say is that based on the synopsis we are in for a time-lapse rebirth mind-fuq. Similar to Counterattack of a White Lotus that was Reborn into an Apocalypse xD which is hilarious.

Translation quality is perfectly fine since it is clear, little to no grammatical errors, and honestly all of their current projects are on my reading list so they know what the good stuff are and are trying their best to do those novels justice. <<less

I love Ru Furen's other book written simultaneously with this one, so I like this novel as well. She describes the growth of great heroes and friends, wonderful family ties, protection of children and excellent teamwork, army structure and battles. I have read my fair share of books about Apocalypse and zombies, special abilities users and leveling up, and this one is exciting and full of adventure and fighting scenes.

The reborn MC truly is a cannon fodder in both of his lives, a little nobody, an ordinary citizen who at... more>> the age of 24 had to survive Apocalypse not once but twice. This time, making different choices with far reaching consequences not just for himself

Spoiler

The main couple in that story is a male + female. In the first timeline when the End of the World happened, the man became the most powerful abilities user, the savior of the humankind, and the woman joined him in his fight becoming his wife and coworker.

Meanwhile the MC survived for ten years in postapocalyptic world and perished, killed by a zombie. He never met the ML nor the FL.

After the MC died he woke up in preapocalyptic past and prepared for the coming of Apocalypse for six months by storing supplies and cultivating a bit. He planned to join the powerful ML, his team, as early as possible, in order to survive, as his team member.

Meanwhile, in the far away future there was this woman who was obsessed with human history and the love story of the main couple, the ML and his wife, and wanted to timetravel into the beginning of the apocalypse to join the ML, the savior of the humankind, as his girlfriend and become his wife and the head of the logistics department of his army. She is the true heroine and has a huge heroine halo and a certain destiny as the FL.

The reborn cannon fodder MC does not care about the ML's love life and his girlfriends or wives, he only wants to survive and be protected by the ML as his comrade in arms, as his bro, but in this timeline he bothers the time traveling FL and might die again as a result. In the evenings the MC goes to the ML's room and they disappear on secret military missions. The MC then comes out of the ML's room in the early hours in the morning all tired, having taken a shower, but the FL thinks that they spend all night having s*x and wants to kill the MC. In reality, it will take an unbearably long time for these two young men to get together for real (it happens in ch.249). They even raise a child together before they get together! They are two fellow soldiers first and foremost, and boss and subordinate second, not even friends.

The ML falls for the MC first. He is very possessive and very protective thinking that the ML is ten years younger than him while chronologically it is the opposite, because the MC was 34 when he died in his first life. This is basically a story of two very straight men getting together as comrades and falling in love.

MTL up to chapter 255, readability 80%.

I've read numerous zombie apocalypse novels (both BL and straight), however this novel had the most out of the box "abilities" of them all 😅.

Up to where I've read, there's no background whatsoever about the classification of human or zombie abilities, the variations were so outstanding that the author could throw any kind of abilities and readers would be expected to be amaze of how unique each of them were.

At least that's what I felt 🤭.

It was kinda bizarre but entertaining.

Ahhh!!!! This novel is so good. It has the right amount of everything I wanted in a novel. There's smut, rebirth and the sadness of the past lives, twist in the story in the last part, true love, action, and the beautiful ending. I love it so much! The MC, ML, and other side characters are all worth it to read.

So far, it seems super promising! It's pretty comedic and MC is kinda funny. In one sense he really does have a huge golden finger, but on the other hand he doesn't try to flaunt it (and he's also limited by the fact that he has to hide it). Rather, I quite like his decisions; he's realistic about his situation and his ambitious, and his character seems to reflect the experiences he's gone through (kinda).

I just wish he seemed more mature, he's supposed to be internally 30-something yet always plays... more>> the role of the dumb lil kid. I feel like his appearance plays way too big a role, especially given these extraordinary conditions where people shouldn't be judged for their looks. I'm worried that as the story goes on the author is going to move him away from the realistic, level-headed character he was in the beginning to be some s*upid shou that only knows how to sell fluff and meng (while ofc being OP w his golden fingers), but as of right now it's still bearable. (EDIT: It stops bothering me because there's so much more to it than just people don't believe his true age)

I really hope that the side characters won't be the typical troue-y characters... esp that Jiang woman, I'm real scared she's gonna be a black lotus b*tch lol. I do think it's interesting to have all these other rebirth / transmigration / other characters though with abilities that are new and "out of place".

MC & ML interactions seem okay so far (except for the appearance thing which honestly I find ridiculous; boy just take out ur official IDs and show them smh) except I'm also a lil worried ML might fall to quickly.

Promising story overall, idk why the rating is so low. Thanks to the translating team's hard work!

EDIT: I really love this story! I ended up MTLing. First, ML didn't fall too quick, and neither does MC; their relationship was very slow and realistic given their experiences, particularly MC. MC seems innocent, but as we learn more and more we see that he's actually not, and he's scheming and defensive and his heart is locked tighter than the bank vault, but with reason. For all these reasons, the characterization of MC is impressive.

Plot is also interesting, but I'm a fan of these zombie apocalypse stories anyway, especially with rebirth/transmigration/other. This story is probably relatively more focused on character than plot, particularly near the end.

The only thing I'm a lil upset about is that past/present reversal bit at the end. Tbh I just feel like author was forcing a strong past-life connection that could also resolve loopholes too hard. I'm not the type that believes in destined, fierce and passionate romantic love, so I'd rather they just be two people that happened to cross at one point in time and end up entangled in that lifetime. I do like how it seems to answer some of the loopholes, but I think author could've introduced it a bit better.

Spoiler

Furthermore, they never exactly said what the past of MC & ML was, just implied it was some tearjerking dog blood immortal reader-abuse love. Also, what happened to the body of the OG ML in the end?

[collapse]

MTL level was okay. Not great, but that's why I normally only MTL non-slice of life stories so I become more engaged in the story than the wording problems. <<less

When he found out that he was reborn 10 years before the apocalypse, he uses his cute 15 year old face to sell 'Meng' (cuteness) to become the younger brother of Chu Tian.

It's been quite a while since I read mtls of this novel so I'm a bit iffy on the details, but I do remember how much I enjoyed the slight complexity of the plot and the twist and turns as it gets near the end.

This isn't THE best zombie apocalypse chinese novel out there but it definitely has potential to be one of the best. A bit wacky and frustrating at times, especially with the romantic development between the two main characters, but the author did handle these elements well... more>> enough not to produce too much plotholes, or wtf scenarios.

My favorite thing about this though, is the fight scenes. Even with only google translate, those parts were intelligible enough to come off as exciting, especially with the use of the ''special moves'' for each abilities as the survivors battle with not only the zombies but with their fellow survivors as well.

Spoiler

Since MC wasn't the only one with a ''cheat'', nor was he the only one who was reborn, there's a lot of sinister machinations happening in both the foreground and background of the story, with each of the characters with the cheats trying to gain as much benefits for themselves as they can, politicking not even included yet.

You'll figure out the direction the plot and the twists were going to take the moment their ''son'' appeared, especially if you read too much scifi.

I especially liked the way the parallel timelines and alternate universes were interspersed to develop the romance between the main pair. It was pretty depressing, actually, rife with sacrifices and pain just to be able to make sure that the other will remain safe and happy. The sacrifices weren't limited to the main pair but with their families and close friends as well.

Background of the son was also too much of a downer.

They worked too hard to achieve their happy endings.

[collapse]

I guess what made this quite memorable for me is the idea that even with a cheat or gold finger, not everything will be as easy as you think, especially with this kind of setting, with danger literally everywhere for the characters. Coupled with the author's writing style and execution of these elements, it was, all in all, a satisfying read.

OLD REVIEW:

Plot: This is pretty good! The plot in the beginning is very similar to many other apocalypse BL web novels. The main character, Xiao Ziling, died and regressed ten years into the past, a couple of months before the apocalypse began. This apocalypse has the usual zombies and super powered human beings. With Xiao Zilling having been a cannon fodder in his previous life, and thus, eager to find a powerful backer to hug the thigh of. This backer is ML (Chu Zhitian), the one that was... more>> said to be the strongest at the end of days!)

Note, this web novel starts off uniquely in that there are several other regressors/transmigrators/etc. That know of what's going to happen in the future. But that plot point is only shallowly explored in the beginning. The focus in Arc 1 is survival!

Major Spoilers:
Spoiler

As for Arc 2, the novel transforms into an intrigue novel of sorts. Not so much focusing on survival (because the main characters are pretty OP right off the bat), but big confrontations against big bosses -- both of the human and zombie variety -- all while slowly building up feels on the ML's end. Arc 3 is a bit of a mess. Turning down the intensity with small cases as the MC works through his mental barriers and accept the ML's feelings.

[collapse]

Characters:

  1. MC - Xiao Zhiling: Very cute. Looks like 16 years old at most when his eyes are showing??? Is much much older than he looks, especially if you count the previous life's years! He acts pretty childish though, especially in the beginning. His goal is to be the ML's favorite younger brother.
  2. ML - Chu Zhitian: Typical ML~ But, surprising not all that typical? He's equally as oblivious as the MC, so it takes them awhile to work things out.
  3. Minor Spoilers:
    Spoiler

    Important side characters include Chu Xiaoqi, their son from another time/AU. There's also the side pair of Chen Jingwen and Dong Haozhe, who are the ML's right-hand mands. And, a couple of lovely pets in the form of Smile (MTL name) and Xiao-Mao.

    [collapse]
Setting: This is very much a zombie apocalypse setting with zombies, mutants, and humans with abilities. However, the way abilities grow this time is closer to cultivation??? IDK, it's a bit of a weird mix of both.

Rating: 3.5! As I said, I consider it pretty good. I read the MTL (which was not as bad as other novels I've read), so there's a lot that I'm not sure I understood correctly. But I liked the unique elements of it. The story was definitely a bit clumsy. Especially in terms of progression (like the flow of events could have definitely been improved so that it isn't so awkward). But the universe was fun to explore regardless.

UPDATE (11/24/2022) :

I decided to reread the first CN novels I read, just for the fun of it~ The memory of this novel had faded enough that I was able to read it almost till the end (ch. 250). It's about the same as I said in my old review. Not bad at all, and one of the better CN Apocalypse Novels. Though one can say that that description is a bit iffy. It's more like a mix of cultivation and apocalypse. Zombies end up not featuring all that much in the end. Much of the plot is taken up by intrigue between bases, drama with the other 'abnormal characters', and the slow burn romance that doesn't get handled until near the end lolol~

Summary of the novel: The plot in the beginning is very similar to many other apocalypse BL web novels. The main character, Xiao Ziling, died and regressed ten years into the past, a couple of months before the apocalypse began. This apocalypse has the usual zombies and super powered human beings. With Xiao Zilling having been a cannon fodder in his previous life, and thus, eager to find a powerful backer to hug the thigh of. This backer is ML (Chu Zhitian), the one that was said to be the strongest at the end of days!) Note, this web novel starts off uniquely in that there are several other regressors/transmigrators/etc. That know of what's going to happen in the future. But that plot point is only shallowly explored in the beginning. The focus in Arc 1 is survival!

My rating for this novel changed from the original 3.5/5. Seeing as it survived the reread test, I decided to bump it up directly to 3.85/5! [As an extra note, although the translation is a mess and far from finished, the MTL is pretty easy to read. It's about 75-80% comprehensible. The names aren't all a mess either --which is a rare!] <<less
