but yea I'm still kinda curious about that one guy named yan something something that appeared in earlier chapter seemed to have a crush on MC. Like what happened to him..

Another thing that confused me was how much of a damsel in distress the MC was. Didn't he go through the apocalypse before the transmigrated? How could he still be so mentally weak and s*upid as to rush out in a dangerous situation, get weak legs and even close his eyes when attacked??? I didn't seem to be the only one who was confused considering the comments under that particular chapter.

• I actually really liked how it took some time for Lin Mo to warm up to the family too. often in rebirth stories such as this, the protagonist quickly accepts their state and accepts their new family without much thought. I liked that in this case, it took a while before Lin Mo fully accepted ALL members of the family.

they used (and I may have missed something) :

• Zombie apocalypse (plus ability users)
• Transmigration to ancient times
• Male, female, Ger genders
• MC has a secret space
• ML has Amnesia
• MC has trauma from past abuse as a prisoner (from the labs) that leads to a dual personality
• MC very knowledgeable about food, uses it to become rich
• Secret Royal/Noble x2
• Rebirth of other characters
• Villain is also a transmigrator
• System turned human
• Futuristic fantastical science (dad used part of his soul to create system)
• ML is blessed by a dragon God, to be able to cultivate into immortality.
• A world of higher power above theirs (ML could go but he'd have to leave MC it's related to above)
• (This one's not really a trope but felt too ridiculous) the whole royal family married someone from MC family, MC x ML, MC's bro x ML's bro, system (born from Dad's soul, considered family by MC) x ML's other bro. The same social circle I'd get but the family???
• Showing the OG timeline as an extra

At this point I was waiting for aliens or good himself to drop down. The extras felt like a bit of a let down.

• MC's brother basically rehashes the whole story in his POV with very little new information
• The creation of the system and how he got to the side of the emperor (could have been interesting but it wasn't to my taste so I skimmed)
• MC's life from rebirthed brother's timeline but again not much new, most of it you learn in the main story flashbacks
• MC's niece & nephew growing up, military nephew is a sis-con who tries to keep her from marriage, they end up having a double wedding where they each marry their love. (Nephew is gay & in love with a regular man, not a ger one) I kinda like this extra

I'm wondering if ML died in the first ancient timeline or never found because big bro said he wasn't in their life last time.

We have

• MC's transmigration into this new body with a big family. He vows to make the most out of this life and cherish his new family.

• The 2 eldest brothers in this new world are seemingly parallel to MC's original brothers.

• MC's ancient eldest brother's rebirth where he saw the downfall of their family. He does his best to change the course of his family's fate.

• the one annoying female transmigrator with a Mary Sue halo who caused the downfall of the Lin family in the eldest brother's previous incarnation.

• amnesiac ML, who didn't appear in the ancient eldest brother's previous life, turns out to be a prince (this was not very surprising) BUT he's also blessed by some dragon god statue thing and can become a cultivator?? Totally out of left field and fortunately stayed there
• and, an interstellar system that was created by a scientist with the aid of MC's original father's spirit. He's also marrying the Emperor

I know, it sounds crazy but it's actually not bad.

While I mentioned before that the story has complex elements, it still felt like the author tried to put TOO many elements in the story. As my design teacher told me, try to keep any core elements of a piece in 2-3s, after that, it starts to get cluttered. I feel like this is a good example of that. Reincarnated into an alternate ancient time after dying in an apocalypse? Sweet. A family member from ancient time also reincarnated from from the future of said ancient time where things went bad? Cool, haven't seen that one before. The villain of that future where things went bad in ancient times is a transmigrator? Uh... ok? I guess that can still be interesting. Let's see how this goes. There's a system that's from the future of the world MC died in that his dead dad sent back through space and time to protect him? Ok, now you lost me. Cultivation?... I give up.

Like, maybe one COULD put all these elements in a story without making it feel cluttered, but I don't think it works in a story only 74 chapters long, especially when it takes 30 chapters or so for the main couple to get married the first time. The pacing felt off throughout the story, but it was wholesome enough for me to keep reading till the end. I feel like enough people have mentioned the confusing parts about the story, so I wont talk about those. Honestly? My biggest gripe with this story was that lack of conflict or suspense in it. Yes, there were suspenseful moments, (like when the MC was in a coma) but I cant really name a time I was legitimately worried bout the safety of the people or relationship in the story. The "Villains" show up quite sparingly up until the very end, to the point I occasionally forgot they were there. In hindsight, this might just be my bad for expecting such things from a slice of life story. I was excited for the tags and neglected to notice the genres.

To clarify, there's nothing wrong with MTL translations. Lots of fantastic translations can come from edited MTL.

However, I specifically point this out for translations that aren't much better than MTL or editors who don't spend time to look things up and try to actually interpret what the author is saying instead of just stringing a bunch of incoherent words together.

Bascially, what I mean here is: inaccurate translation that require a lot of effort to understand.
