I Clean Up Garbage in a Wasteland World

Description

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

Zhu Ning, who had been leading the charge against zombies in the apocalypse, found herself transported to a post-apocalyptic world. In this world, 80% of the land was polluted, and humanity was divided into five classes. She ended up as the lowest class, a fifth-class citizen—essentially an unlucky, defective product.

Completely broke, Zhu Ning had no choice but to become a cleaner, sweeping up garbage.

It was said that cleaning jobs in the wasteland paid well and were easy, practically a dream job.

But… why does this cleaning job seem so different from what she expected?

On the mysteriously disappeared Line 1, she encountered mermen in suits carrying briefcases, with fish heads.

At a famous hotpot restaurant, the hotpot itself tried to eat people!

In a haunted house, the furniture moved around at night and even tried to kill the owner.

Even the supposedly warm and healing aquarium was filled with aggressive mermen demanding to reproduce, bloodsucking mechanical jellyfish, and unknown transparent creatures.

She visited a dental clinic, and as soon as she reached out her hand, it started raining teeth.

And that wasn’t all. The cleaning company seemed to be hiding a big secret.

The AI might be the mastermind behind everything.

The pharmaceutical companies looked completely shady!

Zhu Ning found herself inexplicably drawn into conflicts, where one wrong move could lead to a short life.

In the wasteland, everyone had eight hundred schemes up their sleeve.

Zhu Ning: Is heaven messing with me?

The novel is like a mental pollution. I am quite addicted to it. The few things I don't agree with are the ending, some ideas of the novel and the last chapter. The novel started great but quite disappointing because I am so invested to it and had some high expectations. For some readers they might the concept familiar and unordinary. Personally, it needs a psychological tag. All in all not bad. But still 5 star rating since it is a breath of fresh air among cn novels that I... more>> usually read. <<less

An apocalyptic novel with a female MC and no romance? Yes please. Even though it's Chinese, it doesn't have the typical long paragraphs of beauty, doesn't have only mean women who share one braincell, it actually focuses on the story and has many interesting characters.

Zhu Ning ends up in a different world, in someone else's body, a mu*der attempt had clearly been done towards her. She doesn't know who or why, but end up finding more and more details as she gets missions and work for... more>> her new job.

Her job is following monster hunters and cleaning up "contaminants" that appear after they've gotten rid of the problem. They require you to be mentally strong for this, or else you will become contaminated yourself.

I do really like this novel so far and can't wait to read more. It's got scary elements to it and they know how to keep you on the edge of your seat, then they often calm you down with Zhu Ning's relaxed attitude. Definitely a worth read, it's on par with Doomsday Wonderland so far. <<less

Honestly reading this was really heart wrenching and mind numbing. In the beginning, holy hell was it scary and I'd stay up late reading it unable to put it down yet imagining those horrors in my own room and then it truly deserved the tragedy tag.
Spoiler

Zhu Ning really went through it, every time she carved out a place in the world where she belonged, it's taken away from her in a blink of an eye. Every time you think she's gonna get her lickback something more pressing emerges as if there's more things in the world more important than her petty feelings, unable to escape the shackles that accompanied her from birth. It's layers among layers of pain and rebirth for her.

[collapse]
Her companions, enemies and family truly were dimensional. My best advice reading this, don't get attached to nobody. Still 10/10 experience.

I cannot believe this story ended when I got to the last page. I don't want to spoil anything, as this story is best consumed blind. Let's just say I was repeatedly surprised throughout the story. I found myself very impressed with this story. I've got to say... I didn't expect so many characters to die. This is definitely a tragedy, and I completely missed that tag when I first found this title. But wow, what a story. What a deeply empathetic, female-centric story. This is the first story where... more>> I truly felt impressed by the heart behind the story. I felt that the author wanted to tell a story that showed the unique experiences of women. Every female character is complex and 3-dimensional, whether it is the protagonist, the antagonists, or the recurring characters. Every male character was also a treat to read. This felt like a profoundly human story, only possible during our current times. It is a very very long novel and I sobbed when I turned to the last page. <<less

i cried multiple times reading this story, a beautiful story conveying the experience of many women and that of indomitable human spirit. Selfless is always the word to describe zhu ning. Hoping for a better future of humanity and also creating a path to it. Many characters I have build a connection with as I read along this story, even the connon fodder touch upon my heart. I hope the author sleeps with ease on their mind and also both pillows cold. I love this story and I hope to... more>> read more future novel from this author <3 <<less
