Zhang Min and Jue Ming. Bear in mind my judgement is based only on the first 10 chapters, which paint quite a bad picture for me. Am I really the only one bothered by this relationship? Seriously? Am I the crazy one? Age gap of 28 and 15, with the minor (apparently) being a tad mentally challenged. Sorry, but I have a bottom line.

"

Meng Feng said, ” That kid is your... hey? Brother, this doesn’t look like father and son.”

Zhang Min smiled awkwardly. “What you say is what it is.”

"

Zhang Min said he was fifteen years old, but he looked thirteen or fourteen. His mind was even more like that of a ten year old.

"

So, just me? Am I missing some crucial details or what? I don't get why this doesn't bother anyone else.

in my opinion there are 3 arcs for this novel, namely the first bow to adapt to donghua. The second bow is the long night name for the zombie elimination plan. This ends with the sacrifice of one of the characters that had existed in the early chapters. If you read nirvana rebirth there are some things that are similar no matter how they come from the same author

I don't know how to explain it but Jue Ming I don't think he's really human. Even though the psychologist said that it was more like a double personality where before he had amnesia his name was Dai Xing. He was supposed to be on the beach but because of some things the earth consciousness did make him end up having amnesia and was left in the valley until he was adopted by ZM, before finally his memory. Will return when the earth crews communicate with him towards the final chapter. So is it the thread of the earth or is it really double multiplicity?

and the first person to confess his love was JM so I don't think it's non-con or dub-con.

There are several emotional moments such as during the attack of the octopus where LY might become a zombie, MF who leaves because it is infected with the last form of the virus that ends with LY will still follow it even though they have to die together, calmly they will survive

where a ~30yo grown man has s*x with his adopted child when he was only 11-12 years old and the main couple, with a military man just reacting like "Oh, you're so bad" and then continuing to be good friends with him??? Their teammates also view that relationship as normal even though the child is still a 15-16 yo minor at this point.

I can understand some readers about their discomfort about the side-couple and the huge mental age difference, but don't worry too much. It's not as problematic as you think.

The side-couple only have a platonic relationship for the most part, and the younger one does actually mentally mature significantly eventually.

Secondly, for the most part, they're just very affectionate to be foils and comedic relief comparing to how bickering the main couple are.

Especially in the last part of the main story, how Liu Yan chose to go back and accompany Meng Feng and as they walked and drifted on the ocean on a small boat. I was picturing that whole scene in my head while reading and I couldn't stop sobbing. I actually thought that they would really die together.

I never thought that I would come to love and hurt for him. The moment that he chose to sacrifice himsel just had me bawling. Imagining the scene where he sat there, open his bible and look at Fenghua's letter to him, and then look up at the Sector Six while he continued to fall downwards the trench just breaks my heart. Brother Wen, died alone on that cold and dark ocean floor. Whenever I think of that I just can't help but feel sad.

I would not have minded if it wasn't for the fact that they acted like a father and son and introduced themselves as such.
