Ji Cha was fortunate enough to return to two months before the end of the world.

There was only one thought burning in the mind of Ji Cha, who was hungry and afraid, farming, farming, farming!!! Plant a handful of greens first, then peanuts, peppers, and in autumn, we can harvest… eh? A boyfriend?

Its really slice of life... building farms and base etc. Nice to read if you are looking for a laidback novel about farming in the apocalypse without too much action. Side characters are not developed well as the story focuses on the main characters but I don't have a problem with that. Read the whole book in 2 days and enjoyed it.

I mtl'ed the novel till chapter 80 and I regret reading it. I can't express how frustrating to read this novel. The characters are annoying specifically the MC. Yes, the MC not the creepy ML.

The story is pretty much a standard apocalyptic BL plot. We have the MC with the rebirth/prev. memory as the Golden finger and the OP? ML. BUTTTT... For some reason I can't feel that the MC had experience living for 10 years in apocalypse. He's s*upid and naive that it's irritating if you actually think about... more>> his experience before rebirth.

I truly understand that he wants to have a secure life still how s*upid can you get that you don't know that noise can attract zombies and to think that he survive for 10 freaking years.

My issue with the MC

1. As mentioned above, he Survive for 10 years in apocalypse but he did not know that noise can attract zombies. He raise pigs and chickens outside where the zombies can hear them.

2. Not aware about awakener/people with special abilities. Again, how come... Even if he is only a normal person, he should still learn any rumors about this.

3. Freaking naive to the max. He is being use by the military. One of the commander demanded that the MC provide 20 chicken and he pretty much agree (he did negotiate BUTTTT 😡). So annoying... BTW he was warned that the commander was someone cruel and our dear MC still think that everyone was niceee (from my pov lol).

The reborn otaku has the same plot. Just read that and don't waste your time on this novel just like I did. <<less

Translator here (for the later chapters)

This review is not about the novel but more of an introduction to the translator and some disclaimers 😊

I just want to notify the readers that the translations are done using the google translate as I'm not fluent in Chinese. English is not my first language too, so there might be some errors. I would really appreciate you could point them out so I can fix them and bring better reading experience for other readers.

Another thing is that, one or two (max) chapters... more>> throughout the entire novel will require you to go to a different link to read and that's because I'm trying to make sure the efforts I put into the translations would not be easily stolen by the aggregator sites.

I hope you don't think I'm annoying by doing these. I started doing translations since April of this year and it can be said that I'm fairly new in this. Please correct me in the comments if there is anything you think I should have done better or anything you want to say ☺️😙

Thank you so much for your support.

Love,

Thingyan <<less

Hmm, I agree with one stars review, the MC is way too naive for someone that had survived 10 years in Apocalypse

But the story is quite lighthearted, suited for little angels who interested in Apocalypse theme but not ready for dark, depressing, gloomy sh#ts that were infinitely close to realistic view of Apocalypse.

It's about home building in middle of apocalypse, no OP MC, but a pe*verted OP ML, a kind family and they strive for better future.

If Apocalypse do happen, I wish I could find the way to base like... more>> this. <<less

Im here because there is only 1 review with 1 star. So im reading it out of curiosity.

Mc: is very alert. Coming from apocalypse to peaceful day. Well, I dont know what you want him to do. Just think of people who was abused for 10 years suddenly experiencing peace. 🤔 ML: A stalker and a pe*vert 😫🤣

C4

🤔

ML: My eyes would subconsciously follow his action. I would subconsciously only listen to his voice, face, smile and so on. He has consulted a psychiatrist for half a year.

Me: yeah, bruh thats infatuation and its scary. I actually experienced the same when I was grade 8. To the point my classmate would come to me to know where my crush is because I can sense him fak.

MC puts the lollipop (its really a candy!) in his mouth.

ML: gasps*

Mc: bite the lollipop.

ML: ouch

Spoiler

ML talking to MCs grandma about his "girl" friend.

MC suddenly texted his pe*vert stalker. ML's phone rang.


MC: What a coincidence! (Mysterious)

Damn hahaha

ML in MCs room:

ML's angel: dont break your bottom line.


ML's Devil: Bottom line your fart! That's Ji Cha's wardrobe. He has his underwear, clothes, and socks!
ML is tempted and opened the wardrobe. Grandma Ji suddenly talks. ML played dead. 🧘🧘🧘
Noooo ML stole MCs underwearrrrr 🤣🤣

Stalker to MC: I miss you so much that my hands are sore.

Me to ML (stalker) : Heh 🙂 ML are you Mr. Gu from the novel "I want to f you"? 🙂

[collapse]

Yes, the pigs made a noise that attracted the zombies. MCs family and friends said to move the animals today since any minute the rooster will shout. Like an alarm.

Deym for 10 years in the apocalypse. There are still people who does not know that some people have power????? How the heck did the government or the supernatural hides it???

Mc: Could it be that the special people in the last days were concealed from the people at the bottom like him?

Me: Hoooow? Me shipping Zhang Xing with MCs cousin Zhang QinQin and when they get married she will be called Zhang Zhang Qinqin hehe.

What I like about Ji cha (MC) is that he provides food (agriculture) and also let everyone farm. He also remembered that in his last life the children doesn't go to school and they had no knowledge. So when he got reborn, he downloaded lots of elementary books to highschool. Chemistry, agriculture, and so on. So in the last days, their base have lots of children going to school. I actually didn't continue this because I was getting bored. 🤷🏻‍♀️

This is more than 4 stars but not quite 5.

Plot

MC regresses to his past a few months before the apocalypse. He’s build a sort of fortress in a rural area to protect him and is open to housing more people. So far the story focuses on him trying to make this place self-sufficient while taking care of some friends and family.

... more>> Characters

MC: Hungry for food. Traumatized by the apocalypse from before his regression. Doesn’t have powers (he wasn’t even aware powers were a thing). Isn’t particularly smart. Has no special abilities. However, his character is likable. Despite his past he’s still compassionate within the boundaries of the situation of course. He’s also not dumb. He’s reasonable and plans ahead. I don’t think he’s naïve but maybe I’m naïve too.

ML: Hungry for MC. Okay, he is creepy. Is giving weird guy that you avoid. If he was ugly we’d block him. However, don’t disrespect my underwear stealing king. He believes consent is key. Has heart attacks if MC brushes against his hands. Has “powers”.

Side Characters: Chill. Minds their business.

Pros: likable characters including the sides. I like how they didn’t villainize the cousin. That’s seen often in BL. It’s relaxing with occasional zombie drama. Entertaining.

Cons: If you’re looking for an ESP action packed story this probably isn’t for you. Kind of slow paced. <<less

Pretty much agree with the negative reviews.

ML is a pe*vert, but he has a bottom line, so while he mildly sexually harasses the MC, he didn't go too far.
I can live with him, although he certainly isn't my favourite ML ever.

The romance per se is... questionable.
ML never actually met MC, he's driven by lust and obsession, not love.
MC claims to be straight, then claims to know that he isn't really straight, before going back to wanting big breasted beauties.
It seems the writer couldn't decide on this,... more>> so they changed it every 20 or so chapters.

That most tense situations are destroyed by ML and MC suddenly engaging in private contact was seriously irritating.
Surrounded by zombies? ML hits on MC, MC blushes and contemplates his sexuality.
Dangerous people in front of their base? ML gets a hardon, MC is so flustered and weirdly turned on that they totally forget about it.

This isn't how you mix "romance" with action/survival, that's how you actively mess up both aspects.

Biggest downfall of this novel is the MC.

I don't believe for a second that he survived 10+ years in a zombie apocalypse, because he seems to have learned nothing and doesn't have the mindset that comes with it.

- Buys no weapons apart from sticks, doesn't make weapons himself, not even easy makeshift ones you can throw together for 10 bucks, despite having millions in his deposit.

- Forgets that zombies are sensitive to noise, raises loud livestock outside so zombies can hear them.

- Doesn't want to kill or even hurt people who endanger their lives.

- Feels guilty for protecting his own people and others getting hurt because of it, like he has some kind of saviour complex.

The list goes on. It just isn't believable that he's an apocalypse survivor, the writer created a virg*n Mary MC with a background that makes it impossible for him to be one.
His apparent PTSD was totally forgotten as soon as chapter 3, it never came up again, he doesn't show any signs or characteristics of someone who lived through an apocalypse.
Especially how easy it was for him to trust total strangers is just laughable.

If it weren't for the downright creepy s*xual moments, I would have assumed this was written for young teens, by a teenager.
It's just that unprofessional and immature. <<less

So far I'm Enjoying and likes it!

I Love how our MC is NOT Strong but also NOT shown as Weak person! Sure he's physically weak as ordinary human, but his role is not just a Passerby.

He has his own role in the base in this Apocalypse era. He's the boss and somewhat a consultant of Farming. He both shows his knowledge and also learn some things again.

... more>> I forgot though what was his job before apocalypse, but he does have some experience from previous timeline.

He doesn't fight and he really do farming so far, which is consistent with the title and summary.

Also I LOVE The ML! He's also consistent with his desire toward MC. Wanting him AND to Protect him! Caring and Loving!

Obsessive, Loving and Doting, but so far not Possessive.

He's Strong but so far not OP.

I really do wonder how the Author would write them have the Happy Ending with this kind of situation.

Though it does different from many other apocalypse novel where the Ability User wasn't Major nor the Zombie plot. It's really about the life in Apocalypse where we shown how Some people are horrible, the Hidden Mystery Plot, how to Farm and how to handle the mutation etc. It's somewhat Slife of life but not boring nor fluff. It's Pretty Interesting!

Anyway I hope the rest of the story is Satisfying! 🙏🙏🙏 <<less

Last Chapter Read: c67

Rating: 2/5

It's not horrible, but it did kind of get boring after a while.

I don't have a problem with slice of life and farming, in fact 30% of my reread novels are slice of life and farming.

It's not even the ML (or the MC) that turned me away, it's the fact that the side characters got relegated as background props. They don't get lines, development, or any kind of interaction after the novel hit the halfway mark.

Actually after the MC acquired the side characters, ... more>>
Spoiler

(yes, acquired, because that's how it feels, like in RPG games you just acquire props and items and they get stuck in the bottom of your bag until you need them again in the distant future)

[collapse]
they only got two or three more lines then nothing. The most prominent side character is probably Zhang Xing, and even then he's only there as a witness to MC and ML's developing relationship.

For Slice of Life and Farming novels, one of the biggest draws are the characters.

There were also a lot of inconsistencies, but I could tolerate them, I guess. The characters were really the deal breaker for me though.

I don't know if it improves after the chapter where I dropped it, but I'm not willing to spend more time just to find out. Maybe in the future when I have more time, but for now, I'm placing this at the very back.

I'd rather go reread "Reborn Otaku's Code of Practice for the Apocalypse" again, at least even though I already know what will happen, that novel was enjoyable and did Slice of Life Farming in the Apocalypse quite well. <<less

I MTLed this novel and rate it 2.5 stars.

About the story

MC lived in the zombie apocalypse for 10 years and then goes back in time to before the apocalypse and does his best to save the few people he cares for and prepare for what's to come. In the process, he meets ML and becomes friends with him without knowing ML is his crazy stalker who has loved him for years. Eventually MC and ML get together and the novel focuses mostly on infrastructure.

... more>> About the MC

MC is a very responsible personality who cares for the people around him. He's very nurturing and plans a lot of ideas, dreaming of a world post apocalypse that is stable and everyone will live a normal life. Sometimes his will to help and his naivety lands him in hot water and he must be rescued by ML like a damsel in distress.

About the ML

ML is a stalker who starts out with very insane levels of love and lust towards MC. He cares very deeply for MC and also feels a lot of desire for him tempered by restraint to not overwhelm MC.

Why I rated this story 2.5 stars

This novel had a lot of factual substance but the way it was written was so incredibly dry. The only reason why this novel was worth 2.5 stars is for the effort the author put into writing the details and world building for the apocalypse. However MC, ML and every character has about as much personality as a blank sheet of paper. The author describes things that happen to the MC and ML or describe how they react to situations but it's all stuff happens one after another. There is no thematic plot. MC is just a worrywart who cares about people his motivations, his background is not described. Why is MC going from farm to all out helping pregnant women and planning education for kids and fighting trafficking etc. MC for some reason without any prior knowledge just takes on every leadership role possible and works late into the night planning everything. He is horrible at delegating responsibility and yet continues to take more and more of it. This novel unrealistically makes him the right man for every leadership job. It makes no sense. Author should have fleshed out side characters to give them responsibilities so that all the power doesn't sit in very few baskets. Just because he cares for pregnant women's health doesn't mean there's no one else in the whole base who does. Or just because he owns a farm doesn't mean he is the only farmer who will run every single farm for the whole base. For some reason, every good idea comes from him and has to be done by him as well.

My major gripe about this novel is there is no personality or character development to begin with. Probably ML's crazy stalker attitude is the maximum emotion anyone gets in this novel. Everyone else MC included is lacking in any dimension. Saying they are two dimensional is even too positive a description. Side characters are introduced and then disappear without any emotional or plot significance. No one matters in the story aside from MC and ML. The rest is textbook descriptions of day by day events of farm and infrastructure with frustrating comments about humanity being lost and human trafficking, prostitution, and oppression etc. I skimmed through most of the novel without being able to feel any care for anyone or anything that was happening. I only continued reading this novel to see if it would get better. It did not. Aside from the ML and MC stalker interactions and intimate moments, this novel was otherwise bland as white bread. The only reason why I didn't rate this novel lower is because it was somewhat researched and I could see the author tried in the infrastructure details. They just couldn't make it a novel with real humanity. If you are looking for some really good post apocalyptic novels, try The Reborn Otaku's Code of Practice for the Apocalypse or National Disaster Apocalpyse. Those novels not only have a lot of world building and details but also have real human characters with personalities.

TL:DR

Read this novel if you like dry infrastructure novels with organization as in nonstop exposition without order. There is a small plot of a stalker ML who is emotionally and sexually in love with MC. This story line is very thin and only lightly mentioned with one very spicy part in the novel midway. Aside from that, the relationship is bland and tasteless. Lots of descriptions of post apocalyptic infrastructure but some of the ideas and society changes don't make as much logic as other novels I've read. If you find yourself feeling bored while reading this, you will be guaranteed to be bored all the way to the end. Trust your guts and don't read on if you find it boring. There is no big bad or ultimate plot. Just slice of life leveling up and a few societal people annoyances that happen from poor planning and corrupt governance. <<less

This novel is packed with infrastructure! The MC gets another chance at life and is reborn ten years into the past, which was a couple of months before the Zombie Apocalypse began. He took this chance to prepare a place for him to live within the boundaries of one of the safest City Zones during the End Times, hoping to create a sustainable living environment for himself and the people around him (this includes the self-aware pe*vert that is the ML, whose obsession over the MC demands that he be... more>> around him at all times.)

The story starts off slow and steady. The focus isn't really surviving the Zombie Apocalypse. At least, not in the usual sense -- with all the zombie killing and human conflicts. Here, the main issue to take care of is how to make sure that everyone is living well within the walls while zombies are roaming around outside. This is partly made possible because the zombies here don't have abilities like the zombies in most CN Zombie Apocalypse Novels. There are mutations in humans, animals, and plants, but they're rare and not highlighted.

I actually like these kind of novels~ Some people might dislike, or even find infrastructure novels boring, but I really like it! If you're the same, then I highly recommend checking out this novel!

NOTES: By the way, the TL, which is currently incomplete, is pretty good! But, the MTL is not bad either (at least 80-85% readable, which is wayyy better than most), so there's no reason not to give it a try! Also, this novel contains some spicy scenes that are pretty explicit! So, keep that in mind.

CHARACTERS: 6.5/10

The character of this novel are pretty one-dimensional. At the very least, the author doesn't focus much of their attention on developing them.

Ji Cha (MC)

Reborn person. He was stuck in a bottom-wrung position in his past life, which he spent farming every day (and every hour of the day). In this life, his goal is to make good use of that experience to create a space where he can live more comfortably.

Liang Jingchen (ML)

The ML looks rather stoic and abstinent on the outside, but after meeting the MC, his thoughts had gotten a little crooked. His actions may make some people uncomfortable, but I personally didn't think much of it, because he was very self-aware of the fact that he had a problem. He may skirt some people's bottom line a bit, but there is no non-con or dub-con here.

ROMANCE: 6.5/10

The romance is amusing at first, because one side is definitely all in from the get go while the other is hesitant. However, it doesn't have much screen time after the infrastructure starts to scale up, and the development are rather simple.

SETTING: 6/10

The setting is not bad. Downgrading the usual abilities and mutations matches the main theme of the story and allow the infrastructure to proceed without much hassle, so it's quite fitting. Of course, there's no denying that the zombie aspect of this apocalypse is practically negligent. They get veeeery little screen time.

PLOT: 8.5/10

As someone who is biased towards infrastructure novels, the plot of this novel really hit the spot for me! It might not for you, depending on your taste. But, for me, who has a tendency of dropping a story whenever things gets a bit boring, the fact that this kept me interested till the end means that it's worth the reread.

RATING: 3.43/5

All in all, a good read for me! It's rated average (based on my usual scale) because it's definitely not the most well-developed in certain areas. However, when it comes to infrastructure building, I'd say this is one of my faves! <<less

While the MC isn't as smart as MC from Reborn Otaku, the story as a whole is about farming in the first part, and base building in the latter parts, so those bits are fun and interesting. I like that this story focuses mostly on just the MC and ML, but others might not like the fact that side characters don't really play a big role in the story. The best part of the story is that there is one chapter of smut (instead of fading to black), and that... more>> the ML is a stalker/yandere type, but he still loves and puts his lover's needs and wants first. He does actually care about the relationship being consensual, so big plus from me. MTLable. <<less

Surprisingly laid back for a zombie apocalypse novel, but am only 28 chapters in. MC is rather naive as regards relationships but that is explained in the novel. Translator’s comments on how pervy ML’s thoughts are hilarious. Do not read if you are expecting tons of gore and action and becoming leader of the resistance, so far this is more about keeping your head down and surviving. Always nice to read about warm family relationships.

This review is mainly an affirmation of the translator's work. They have done an excellent job translating this which made it an enjoyable read. As some reviews have said the pacing is kinda weird in that some actions do not add up which gives a sense of maybe something was skipped. However, it does not take away from the plot. (Might just be my opinion though)

Anyways, all in all, I enjoyed the translation and the plot.

It's a good story if you're looking for something slice-of-life-ish to pass the time.

It was never explained why the ML fell so hard for the MC, but I guess it was like obsession-at-first-sight that was supposed to be super creepy, but basically, the author couldn't come up with a legit way for the MC and ML to fall in love naturally I suppose

... more>>
Spoiler

with the flashback of the ML hardcore remembering the MC after 10 years in the apocalypse

[collapse]

but I suppose the author couldn't come up with a legit way for the MC and ML to fall in love naturally, so that was the basis of the story.

Because the ML is the strongest cheat, things go very well for the MC.

And the beginning read a lot more interesting to me, there were more challenges for the MC. Unfortunately, a huge chunk of the middle didn't have any challenges and there wasn't any relationship development either. After the two get together, they're basically like an old married couple forever.

I enjoy base-building and farming novels, especially in zombie settings, so it was fun.

Otherwise, it might be a boring read for some people.

Translation was fine, a few things I can't quite put my finger on (sentences I had to reread over and over that still didn't quite make sense), but overall not bad. <<less

It was a decent read for most of it, but I still feel like the MC is too naive, he is the Holy Mother type.

Before the last incident, it was OK because he did it within control and cautiously, but the last incident when he just went at it alone, I was questioning how he can survive for 10 years previously, because I feel like by that point you should be paranoid and cautious of everything.

I feel like author just wanted to cover the marriage problem and end it fast... more>> so it's all a bit rushed so in the end it goes from a decent read to something that annoys me at the end.

I enjoyed this relatively easy read as I love the farming for survival aspect dotted with an appropriate amount of fluff and spice. I also didn't have any issue with either of the MC and ML's personalities because there was forewarning by the translator and I felt it wasn't as bad as expected. I sincerely appreciate the effort put in by the translator.

A 3 star story at best. The writer skips on the details, like almost every detail, and didn't seem to have planned this story out.

The pacing is strange. The time of this story spans about 2 years. In that limited time somehow the farming went from 7 pigs, some chickens and bunnies for surviving in a small scale, to being able to feed around 20000 people... so that they all have everyday meat to eat. Sorry but the numbers just don't add up in reality. All thanks... more>> to MCs animal husbandry. And let's not talk about the fields of vegetables....

So the whole logic is holey as swiss cheese.

About the story line.... there is none. I'm not sure what the goal is. Most likely a safe base for everyone. We'll there really are no up and downs. Everything is rather smooth sailing and if there pops up a villain... it will be solved in at most 5 chapters. There is no real danger or action at all. No thrill or solving problems. It's really boring.

About MC and ML...i don't know what the writers intentions were with those character designs...

ML started out as a stalker guy. He kind of knew it's over the top what he is doing but still can't stop himself. I think is a bit critical that we are able to hear his thoughts here because he still tries to fly under the radar. Without the knowledge of his pervy thoughts, it might be able to fly as strange flirting. After they got together and slept with each other, the writer instantly stops with the "romance" and there won't be relly sweet interactions. Just kind of old couple and s*x.

MC is rather annoying. He started out good and I thought there might be progress. I mean he lived and struggled 10 years in the apocalypse... but he really became a s*upid white lotus. He walks into danger himself with eyes wide open and realizing it a bit late... he complains to hubby and he needs to solve everything.

About the "romance"... well they really need to learn to communicate. I don't know how they fell for each other. ML is the guy that cries and says no, but since he is already forced, he will enjoy it. In my opinion the first interc**rse was r*pe. MC did say no and said he was afraid but ML was just revved up and MC enjoyed it later. So yeah... decide for your self.

So, would I recommend to read this? Not really, but I've read worse. It has a lot of logic errors, nonsense or dangling story lines, brain farts that were scraped 3 chapters later and no real purpose. The Apocalypse is only a backdrop without any importance.... So if you can live with all of this... go for it.

I won't read this again.

The only really good thing is, that the translator did a rather good job. <<less

I really like the pace and the overall story. Its not to slow or to hurried.

The MC n ML got together in a good moment and they continue the relationship not too crazy attached or controlled but enough to give us sugar.

As well the reasonable (best case cenario) life to life after n during Apo.

Really enjoying it and cant wait for more. Hope it will keep it like this. No big issues and steady go ahead.

It's a slice of life meets zombie apocalypse. The MC has no special skills, just his memory and has prepped as best as he could. ML is OP and is basically MC's stalker meets devoted lover. ML acts like MC is his fated mate or something. He is completely focused on him and its not like there is any real back story. He fell for him at first sight, stalked him. Found out all about him and the desire turned to love and obsession. There is a small group that... more>> live in his home and so far they are stable characters with not a lot of screen time. I would like more of his cousin cause she is sensible and a fighter, hopefully she will get some more story time later.

Some other reviews mention that they think MC is naive or taken advantage of with regards to the military. However, I think it is more like he makes willing sacrifices for the bigger picture. He gets to keep his home, his group is safe and they are pretty self contained. The military doesn't really get involved in their life or what happens within the walls of their base. In return, he is very generous with what he gives and does for them. Since it would be easy for the military to just take everything, it is a smart move to make it seem like working with him is worth more than taking over.

Yes, MC is naive in regards to ML and relationships, however, he was always quiet and not a big socialiser. Then with the apocalypse, he was busy surviving so didn't get into a relationship. He was mostly straight, but had considered all options and then obviously became bent by the ML.

This story so far is mostly just farming and lifestyle during the apocalypse with a little zombies sprinkled in.

ML is a massive horn dog and has lots of dirty thoughts, so if that makes you uncomfortable, I would skip this.

The translator does a pretty good job, there are a couple she where it is supposed to be he, but nothing that would make the reading experience difficult. <<less
