I definitely have some suspicion about our MC Su Ruan, the potential for her presence is intriguing especially where I am at now. In the beginning, there is definitely that thought that she is there for the comic relief, acting and thinking in a silly and nonsense manner. Then we start seeing in the narration how when the other characters in the main cast need assurance, Su Ruan just happens to be there at the right time for them (often in the form of diverting their attention from their anxiety).... more>> In the beginning, I was like "oh what a nice coincidence, " then later on you will begin to note how the way MC acts seems be a secret guide. When the main cast is handling a situation well, she doesn't need to do anything. However, when the main cast is stuck on a case or unaware of the danger they are in, Su Ruan would usually be the first one to subtly bring forth a clue or warning through her "silly acts" or "silly talks". It makes you wonder if there's something deeper to her character. Such as if she faced something traumatic before and end up acting silly for coping mechanisms, which would justify the way the narration of her seems funny. Such would explain why she always seems to be able to secretly and "unintentionally" help out the crew that she starts to care for as a transmigrator. And just as the crew is about to suspect her, she would always be able to push aside their suspicions with more silly acts/talks. IDK if that indicates she's a genius in hiding her true capabilities or if all that coincidences are just coincidences for the sake of the plot. If it's the former, I see a lot of potential to the twist in this is the latter part of the story. Who is the true "mastermind"? The MC or ML? <<less

This novel really depends on the person who reads it. So dont be influenced by the positive or negative ratings. Its a very different kind of novel. ALSO, leaving your common sense outside the window is not sufficient for this novel, its better to throw it out into the next galaxy.

FL - One of a kind. She is the only one in the world and can be kept in a museum to watch. (Given her personality, I am sure she would have very much liked to sit inside the glass... more>> case and make faces at people) She will be VERY BEAUTIFUL and soooo laid back that she doesn't give a f*ck whats going on around her. As it says in the description, she will be transmigrated into a novel. She will be the girl friend of the ML. She would have thrown the ML to the zombies in her previous life. The ML will be reborn after his death. He will be waiting to do the same to her while hiding his powers so she will be scared of him.

Given the question if she is s*upid or not? She is neither smart nor s*upid.

Spoiler

When she transmigrates, the ML will be reborn and waiting for his revenge. He would have thrown her to the zombies like she did to him. She wouldn't want to die in the hands of zombies so she tries to kill herself. Of course the ML will save her (by giving her spring water which can heal anything) and tell her that he had switched the sleeping pills with something else. Throughout the story, she is shown as a complete fool who doesn't understand right or wrong and just wants to eat. IN FACT, she will be totally aware of everything going on around and who is bad and who is good. The point is that SHE DOESN'T GIVE A f*ck AT ALL.

She thinks that the ML will be killing her anyways so she doesn't need to worry about it and just plays around doing what she feels like. This is shown later in the novel. Where she tells everyone that this world is a book and she transmigrated and she knew the whole plot. That is when everyone FINALLY comes to know that she is not a fool. She does help out a few times when the team is stuck. But its shown as it was not intentional.

For example, They will encounter a guy who will have an ability to be invisible. He would have stolen a lot of their stuff and they wouldn't be able to figure out how it happened. So she wears a rain coat which says invisible and try to act as if she is invisible. (YES, for her character its completely normal to behave like this. Nobody will be shocked by her s*upidity. Because that is how she behaves and she doesn't care what anyone thinks of her) From this they get the idea that he might have the power of invisibility. Such scenarios are way too many to list.

[collapse]

ML - Smart, powerful and handsome. He will be thrown out to the zombies by his girl friend (FL) and he will be reborn. He will have his own space (A very scenic place with trees and small cute animals and spiritual water which can heal any injuries). He will be hiding his abilities and nobody will know how strong he is except the FL until half of the novel. When he starts liking her he tries to lure her with food and try to seduce her using his handsome face to get her to like him.

Although he is shown to be cold blooded and bullying the FL. He really doesn't do much other than give her hard bread to eat and tease her a few times. The most scary thing he does to her is that he tries to scare her a few times by showing her a dream of her being eaten by zombies as he was eaten in his previous life, but the response of the FL leaves him speechless.
Spoiler

He will ask her how she is feeling looking at her being eaten by the zombies, she says that she is hungry as she wouldn't have eaten much for dinner that day.

[collapse]

He has a very tragic past.
Spoiler

His parents will pass away when he a kid, he is brought back to his grandfathers place to grow up. His uncle is a crazy psycho who will be in love with his mother. He will be very angry that his mother chose his brother over him. The ML will be abused in all kinds of ways for a long time as he looks like his mother. His grandfather wont do anything to protect him either. Its really pitiful. Given the amount of abuse, you can say that the ML turned out pretty good.

[collapse]

original FL - She is great. Strong and smart. She will be reborn too. She will meet the FL and ML on the way. She agrees to take them with her as the ML will have space (He wont tell her about his other powers and behaves weak in front of everyone). She refers to both of them as 'weak chickens' (who are not strong and easily scared). As the story goes on, she will start to think of herself as the mother hen and the ML and FL as her chicks and try to protect them. She will be very protective towards the FL as she is very s*upid and very beautiful, so many men will try to look at her in a dirty way. She will be looking for her sister.

There are no second ML or FL here. No jealous crazy girls or boys. The original FL will be in love with the original second ML. Their story is very nice too.

Ending

Spoiler

The cure for the zombies will be the blood of the original FL. They find that out by coincidence and this helps in curing the existing zombies and also get other vaccinated to not get infection.

The ML and FL have a shot gun wedding. They will have a son. The ML will be working as a visiting professor at a university. He will be very worried about feeding his family with his salary. He refers to them as rice buckets (FL, their son and the dog which has a large appetite and literally eats everything and the zombie/vaccinated dog which is super huge).

The original FL and second ML get together and they have a happy ending too.

[collapse]

I usually like a FL who is strong and independent. I never liked a FL like one in this novel who doesn't do anything and just depends on the ML. But I dint dislike her. She was cute in her own way. She does try to help and nobody gets hurt because of her and she doesn't drag her team behind. She is just like a happy little ignorant kid who only plays and eats. <<less

I felt my brain cells dying while reading this.

(Not the WORST novel I've seen on this site, but the near-unreadable text that feels like a stream of consciousnesses of a brainless person aka the MC made it a strong contender for the top spot)

One of the redeeming things about this novel is that even though it seemed unlikely at first, it does actually have a plot (shocking, I know) and there were some entertaining moments once in a while.

When I finished currently released chapters (read fuelled by pure... more>> spite) it felt like 2.5/5 but after reading another novel and remembering that I actually do have standards it's more of 1/5 for me now. <<less

At first I was hesitant to read this because of the low ratings. Now I'm glad I braced myself to read this!

The star of this story is absolutely the MC, while reading this I was almost fooled that the MC is truly a fool but when reading there are actually sentences that hidden in between that made us readers doubt her intentions and intelligence

... more>>
Spoiler

Even in the first chapters when she tries to kill herself by using pills, the ML ofc saved her because he want to kill her himself later. The ML give MC his magical spring water to detoxify it. Later on she still holds on to that bottle of pills because the ML said it was a pill made of flours so that's why she didn't die, she believed it and later gave it to a villain which made the villain got poisoned.

Now if we read it we might think the MC herself didn't know the pills is actually harmful if eaten in large doses, but if we read again when the ML gave MC the spring water camouflaged like a normal water, the MC actually knows it's the spring water!

I didn't think that much because perhaps it's possible for MC to think so, they haven't got supplies yet and the only possible water source is that spring.

Then there's another side characters who actually keep his brother that has become a zombie by his side, he's afraid people might know but our MC always foolishly went to that zombie kid. She even 'fooling' around playing make up but that make up helps the zombie boy to look more human, she bought three dog chains and the brother got an idea to chain his zombie brother.

She actually not a fool. Why she bought three chains? Not two? The dog around her are only two at the moment, she also only bought two dog mouth cover.

She actually knows the kid is a zombie.

Personally I think the MC might be not right in her head. She probably have mental problems but she's not s*upid. She's trying to kill herself at any possible chances but because she's afraid of pain she's looking for the most painless way to die.

The reason she want to kill herself first is also understandable. She knows the plot and her end was to be cut into pieces. MC is highly afraid of pain and scary things so she want to avoid that fate.

I feel the MC is subconsciously have a defense mechanism that made her think the things she does is just a simple minded act and she's truly doesn't know anything/naive. She truly believes that so what we read from her perspective are highly skewed. In actuality she herself are smart and she did things that will benefit others/helping other people.

In that case MC is truly a "fool"

Also I suspect that MC actually have an ability, what with that flowery fragrance that helps ML and the novel FL

Now the ML and MC didn't have that much lovey dovey interactions, but the romance is there. The ML at first didn't care about the MC that much, but ML become confused because MC is different from his first life. I think he unconsciously become fond of her and a tad bit possessive.

Their interactions so far are still pleasant, ML bullies MC at every chance he got but the bullying is really just like a kid play. (Giving her a hard bread but acts like it's a soft bread etc)

[collapse]

I truly look forward on how MC will survive this apocalypse, her interactions with others are highly entertaining <<less

I really don't know how to to feel about the MC. One moment I'm rooting for her and the other I'm left wondering if she even has two brain cells to rub together. If she's actually a genius I'll be really impressed

The reviews are all over the place, people hate it, people love it, here is my thought on it

This novel started out great and about chapter 190 I started struggling to read it, so it went on a bit too long for me

Basically the plot is FL wants to die quick and clean. ML wants to keep her alive to torture her

The long explanation is in the spoiler

... more>>
Spoiler

The FL has transmigrated into a Zombie Apocalypse (ZA) Novel as the character who killed the ML by pushing him into a group of zombies

In the the ZA Novel the ML was reborn and spent his second life torturing the FL character over several years before killing her

The FL read the ZA novel and knows her character's fate. She doesn't want to be tortured, so she keeps trying to commit su*cide and the ML keeps stopping her

Alomg the way they pickup a zombie dog, a mutant dog, a baby zombie, the original novel's FL, her crush, and her zombie sister

And then they save the world

[collapse]
If you remember this dynamic, one wanting to die and one wanting to torture it makes sense in a weird way and the humor shines through

The FL is not an idiot, even though she pretends to be. She puts herself in danger, partly to commit su*cide and partly to save her companions. If you reflect on her actions many of them make sense in retrospect

I laughed so much in the beginning then there is a 5 year time skip and everything went downhill for me

Spoiler

Amnesia, imposters, male pregnancy, betrayals, I lost interest

[collapse]

Up to the 5 year time skip it was a 5 star novel. Afterwards it dropped to a 2 or 3 star novel. I gave it 4 stars

Recommended with reservations <<less

I'm really convinced that our darling MC is brainless. At first you think it's for comic relief. But the more you read you question yourself if she's missing some intellect.

It’s still enjoyable to read tho.

i think i've lost brain cells... why did I read 100+ chapters of this again???

the plot has potential and I keep waiting for things to get serious, but the FL turns every situation that should be serious into a strangely comedic confusion. the story has ceased to make sense, and the ML (who is why I stayed) just seems to do whatever random thing the FL wants and in 124 chapters has not progressed with the FL (romantically) at all

Thanks for the translator bringing this great novel.

I'm enjoying reading this short novel. All the character besides MC was good for me. The MC & ML was meant for each other. It's not so fluffy lol but it's more funny due to MC attitude. You guys should read this.

I originally read this novel in my language and found it to be a very light-hearted, silly but hilarious novel. The MC was written to be a useless, not-so-smart one, whose dim-witted reaction to every serious situation made things even more chaotic but funny. Because of her weird thinking, sometimes not only the ML but even I couldn't keep up with her train of thought. I unexpectedly like the novel very much and was very glad to find its english translation having many more chapters than the one done in... more>> my language. However, its english version blew my mind in not a positive way. The translation was so bad, making it hard to comprehend what was going on; the only consolation was that at least it made more sense than mtl. I rarely complain about translation quality because afterall it is a result of someone's hard work and free labor.. But still, once you find a better translated version, it's hard to go backward. I'm just glad the english version was not my first exposure to this novel.

I have such mixed feeling about this novel at this point that it's better for me not to rate it. Proceed to read with caution.. <<less

I'm glad recent reviews are finally seeing it!

Contrary to other's reviews Jiao Jiao is a genius! She made me read this story like 5 more times to understand how awesome her characterization is.

Pacing again was great. Narrative could have been written better but it already okay as it is.

Just love love love this story.

The idea is good, the plot is good, unfortunately the author's way to convey this story is not very good. Literally, it is a mess. But still readble. Since I enjoy it, i'll continue.

This is a casual reading. If you a strict reader, this story is not for you.

The comedy is good (+1), but it's probably one of the most unsatisfactory, anti-climatic boring novel of all time.

It's frustrating since the author seemed to have a really great flesh out story idea but... THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO WRITE.

... more>> I can see how the characters fit together, even the fool of an MC that seemed to only be there for comic relief. The characters are 3 dimensional but the author seriously lacked the skills to fully express it on pen and paper.

Overall I felt bored at 90%, and wish to just drop it, it's bland and badly written. Translation seemed really bad but I think it's more due to the author poor quality of work.

It's good if you want to read it if you seriously have nothing else to read. There's a lot of tags in this novel but it was very skimmed over and was tasteless.

But for redemption I didn't notice a plot hole in the novel. +1 star. <<less

Hahaha, MC was hilarious. The author really managed to deliver the comedy content throughout the story until I almost forget that this story was actually quite dark...

... more>>
Spoiler

... because there were some disturbing scenes such as: mu*der, attempted rap*, child abuse, etc.

[collapse]

The plot was quite engaging and the characters were also very interesting. If other similar novels often gave almost all the limelights to the transmigrator aka MC, the author of this novel gave almost equal limelights to other characters as well, especially the actual heroine, Ni Yang. Ni Yang really deserved to be a heroine in the original story and I'm also glad that be it in the past or after being reborn, she never be MC's love rival or ML's love interest.

The ending was also very satisfying but I still feel a bit peculiar about ML's job post-apocalypse.

Spoiler

I thought ML would be a general or maybe a doctor but he chose to be a lecturer? I mean, he was usually quite lazy so him being a lecturer seemed to be out of place and didn't fit his character at all.

Just leave your brain out for this story. It’s like those B movies with bad effects and inconsistent plot lines, but the movie still very enjoyable. This story is like that. I don’t know if the original writing is like that some sentences and chapters are abit confusing and not smooth. So I guess the translator tried their best to follow and make sense to it. (Cus I went and read the mtl and it’s much much worst)

There alot of slapstick comedy in this story, especially for for... more>> MC. She always rush out to seek her early death hence alot hilarity ensues. Her why of thinking also like a 5 yrs old, a glutton and have her gold finger as a beauty and good luck. Overall you just can’t hate her, even her role seems like a mary sue (everyone seem to covet her beauty whenever she goes! Poor ML always have to state his sovereignty over MC is his gf.)A rice bucket (she always can eat 3 bucket of rice or delicious food in the apocalypse) a trouble maker with no power, and always afraid of ML.

ML actually not bad, he didn’t bully MC alot at first (because he’s reborn and thought MC will kill him again and wanted to revenge) But because of our transmigrated MC behaviour our ML maybe sense she's not the original. (Because this transition really doesn’t write well in the novel) But he took care of her very very well. And of course love her to death as they fell in love. ML has a very tragic past, hence he tends to be very blood thirsty and cold.

The side characters are very good and funny too sometimes, there’s also some heartbreaking moments, but because the writing, maybe it’s not overly sad. Overall the novel is not bad, and entertaining, it’s worth the read if you not minded some confusion which doesn’t really much matter. Thats how strange this novel is. Thank you <<less

This is really enjoyable and fun to read. At first I feel annoyed about how dumb the MC is but I came to really love her she's really brainless but still cute.

I also liked that the original FL is not bad unlike some other novels I had read. Shes acting like a mother hen.

Oh I just love this ((◍•ᴗ•◍) ✧*。 (◍•ᴗ•◍) ❤

It's funny and cute but not written too well.

I am glad our silly white sweet doesn't drag others down though!

Edit: I'm realizing that it might not just be for humour but MC really has a mental problem. And a pretty severe one too.... and now that I've realized this, idk how I feel about the romance. it just feels like a manipulative strong ML and his grown-at-home pet.

It's ok. This was meant to be a lighthearted read and logic must be abandoned to enjoy this.

It would've been better if the narrative and execution was better so that the readers can keep up with the thought process of the MC.

Tho, the reason that I'm dropping this is the horrible translation. I might pick this up again if the translation got better.
