At first it was normal because I understood that she had to be cautious. What if the ML just threw her into a pit of zombies when she was unaware?

but the thing was she had no golden fingers. The system was gone and also she wasn’t sure if she’d get any powers. The easiest thing to do was to hug a thigh! But Jesus! She didn’t. I swallowed that one and decided to wait for the next round.

when they decided to get together, they barely spoke! No- I understand why the ML wouldn’t speak but the MC, seriously?

There was this point when the ML went out into the zombie infested campus to look for her and found her criticizing him for his family situation. She didn’t even bother to explain. Clearly he was upset but she didn’t say anything. And I’m like- ???? WHY?

then there was that part when they reunited. Clearly she was looking for him that entire time but when they met, she couldn’t even smile. I endured this on as well.

I feel like the ML really sold himself short! He was worth so much more.

But there was that time when the ML rescued her from the supermarket. Yes, again, she was emotionless. I thought they were waiting to get back to safety for them to have a proper reunion. But- this is what happened. An earth element welder made for them a small mud hut for privacy. Fvc! I didn’t expect any jingjing but at least talk.

clearly the ML was ready to talk but the MC decided to sleep. Okay, you’re tired, sleep and talk about it. Noooooo! No such thing. Even if we are locked up in a stuffy box together, I can never clear out the feelings.

There were so many thing that weren’t cleared out. Which is what made this book so frustrating. It’s even more annoying that she was the one who pursued him in the first place. How did she do it if she couldn’t even talk? They had been in a relationship for 3 years. I understand if you’re scared at first that he may not believe. But feeling don’t just fly away. Old habits die hard. You’ll just naturally find yourself talking with your ex, especially when they seem welcoming. But you’d think they’d just started the relationship or they had been apart for years.

it clearly showed that the ML was in love and in love alone. MC was just letting things happening to her and to the ML without clearing it out.

it got to a point where the ML actually asked her about it but shet! Fvc! She didn’t say anything. I mean I would blame the ML for not trying but he actually did. The s*upid girl didn’t say anything.

ML; I like you.

MC;......

ML; I like you.

MC;....... (just look at him with a calm expression)

ML; you said that you would chase it but you’re not doing anything. MC I really like you (or love)

MC;..... (waits until ML collapses. Then moves on to give the zombies all her attention like they are her dead husbands and she has to show piety by mourning)

I got so frustrated. It got to a point where I couldn’t take it anymore. I think at the end, they resolved it in no words or something and the poor ML was either content with the MC’s next to nothing expressiveness or (more likely) created another excuse for the MC in his head. Sigh! My poor boy.

mark! The ML was featured as the cold, talk and silent type. So if he was more talkative compared to MC, then who pursued who for 6 months before a 3 year relationship.

Even at the end he said “since she came back on her own then I will not let go.”

poor boy didn’t know that it was his friend that forced her back. But even with this small act, he dedicated his entire life and safety to the MC.

Sadly these novel is shoujo, so the story revolve in romance and her good deeds in finishing the end of the day. Everything was okay, but honestly, could have been finer. The ability variety is very wide, not the usual 5 elements (plus light and dark), its very random... they made the FL and ML ability OP, our typical shoujo. What sadden me the most is, the battle illustration is a bit vague... the battle strategy is also not that exquisite. They usually ended the battle just like that. Bam bam boom, end. Sad. Then again, its a shoujo. So lets focus on the romance! The love story is fun and sweet, but I kind of wanna slap the FL. She has inconsistent characteristics when it comes to love. She could be very brave and all, but when we speak about love, she went timid. Sigh. But then again, its the spices of this novel. It making us eager to know their love story till the end.

In this novel, only the problems related to the food are shown. What about others? The main important one I missed is the issue related to the bathrooms. There are a lot of scenarios where many people are locked up in a single room for days. Every time this happens, I was like "WHAT ABOUT THE BATHROOMS???"

All they show is a young people fighting these zombies. The elderly people and children are very few. WHERE DID EVERYONE ELSE GO?

They also dont show anything related to the government. In "Salted Fish Transmigrated Into An Apocalyptic Book", its shown that the government has built a facility where its trying to research about ending the apocalypse and fight for the people. This feels a little realistic, OF COURSE the country and army will do something if such an apocalypse occurs RIGHT? Here, the government is non-existent. Everything is done by the young people fighting. WHAT WERE THE GOVERNMENT AND MILITARY DOING?

Also, none of the students think about their family. Wouldn't NORMAL people be worried about their family during such circumstances. Forget about trying to find them or get to know their well-being, THESE PEOPLE NEVER THINK ABOUT THEM. Even after the apocalypse is finally over, they never think about them.

The final villain boss story also doesn't hold upto expectations. It just shows some guy who lost his family in a fire. He will just be a normal citizen. HOW DID HE SCARE SO MANY PEOPLE AND BUILD ALL THESE NETWORKS AND ZOMBIE CHAINS? The whole story is just too weak for me. Even his final goal doesn't make any sense.

The FL turns into a zombie at some point too. Dont worry, she will become normal in the end. During the fight, she will have some zombie fluid on her hand and the ML tries to wipe it and she says that she will infect him. But they totally kiss and even feed each other food through their mouth when each one has passed out, EVEN after she has turned into a zombie. So the ML cant wipe away some zombie fluid BUT THIS IS TOTALLY FINE??? I felt really grossed out sometimes.

the system disappeared from the beginning of the end of the world so FL decides to follow his heart and tells ML that he is going to conquer it

Another thing I wanna add, no offence to the other reviewers, but JZ forgiving Tang Tang, treating them well and still wanting to protect and ECT, that is not something I find weird. Tang Tang was his partner, just cause they broke up, it doesn't mean he wouldn't care about them anymore.

The fear Tang Tang had of JZ throwing them to the zombies was something the system told them, I feel doubtful about JZ actually wanting to do that, and that action is pretty abnormal, even with the zombie apocalypse making such actions normal. JZ showing he still loves Tang Tang and does not want harm to come to them feels more normal to me than a complete cold shoulder.
