4.65/5!!! [Second Chance, Apocalypse: Natural Disasters, Mature, Slice of Life] Very different from a lot of the CN Apocalypse Novels out there, but I ended up liking it a lot! Admittedly, it gets a bit boring sometimes. The author has a tendency to dump information, making me tempted to drop the novel several times. BUT, I'm glad I persisted until the end (EXTRAS included, even!) I'm the type of reader that enjoys details, and there's no denying that this author is really good at delivering that. Furthermore, the survival aspect in this novel is really entertaining. The MC and ML have a space, so one can say that they're a bit passive (the cheat is... more>> used more of a convenience rather than tool, which makes the novel less thrilling than it could have been if the space never existed or if the space was revealed). However, looking at it from another perspective, the magical space and the rebirth aspect ensured that the story was not too dark. Without it, the story would have been incredibly tragic and sad. XD

__________

SUMMARY: The MC, Mu Nan, lived over a year on an Earth suffering from severe natural disasters. Despite having a magical space for hoarding goods, his life during the apocalypse was not very good. And, because of his kind-heartedness, he even ended up getting stabbed, resulting in his life ending early. When he awakens two months before the first natural disaster official hit China, his first thought is to hoard goods and make contact with his non-biological older brother (the ML, Qin Huai), who had been separated from him five years before everything began due to family issues. When the two meet again, not long after the onslaught of the first natural disasters, they hold on tightly to each other and do their best to survive.

_________

THOUGHTS: As mentioned, this novel can be considered very tragic if the main characters did not have the magical space and rebirth cheats. It's not like the popular Zombie CN Apocalypse novels that are commonly seen in danmei -- where the MCs have special abilities and a direct enemy to fight against. After all, there's no real way of fighting against natural disasters -- no matter how prepared you are, accidents will happen, and there's the element of human nature as well. ANYWAY, despite this rather glum plot, the story is actually pretty lighthearted. You get to see the daily life of the two main characters, who are a bit more selfish than your usual protagonists (they share when necessary, but they keep their secrets hidden tightly till the end.) You also get to see them make friends along the way, some of whom will stay, others will leave.

The author, despite their tendency to info-dump everywhere xD, is pretty good at keeping things interesting. Even the most mundane things are pretty fascinating in my opinion (though that may be because I enjoy novels with survival, infrastructure-building, farming, hoarding, etc. LOL). I also like the fact that the author doesn't forget character development throughout all this. Authors who write in this genre tend to overfocus on the plot and forget about the characters. And, while the character plot here is nothing too impressive or complex, it's still pretty satisfying and realistic. At the very least, the author does a good job establing the characters -- enough that you can stay interested in their future indefinitely.

ALL in all, a good read! The TL is currently incomplete but the MTL is highly comprehensible -- even the names are uniquely good. The author's writing style is very straightforward, so despite the long text, everything is very readable (at least 85-90%).

____________

RATING: 4.65/5

Worth the read! Highly Recommended! Especially if you enjoy survival stories! I was really hesitant about reading this because it's kind of different XD. I enjoy Zombie Apocalypse novels a lot and got kind of used to them. So, this natural disaster-type apocalypse was really uncomfortable at first. In end, however, I ended up wanting more T.T AHHHH (I vaguely remember a novel that has a similar premise to this, but it was one where there were multiple survival instances to clear, so it wasn't as comprehensive as this novel. Pfft! Let's hope I can find it again later for a reread.) <<less

This time, I read it till the end after purchasing all the VIP novels from JJWXC and making an MTL copy (ooof that took me quite a while TxT). [FYI: For those who are wondering what changed between the original copy and the revised copy, most of the changes occurred in between chapters 110-180, I think.

#3Fierce “Husband”

Adult Fantasy Mature Slice of Life Yaoi

4.5/5!!! [Transmigration, Poor-to-Rich, Historical: Ancient China, Slice of Life, Drama] I avoided this novel for the longest time because the MC in the summary sounded very pretentious. Don't be misled though! That's far from the truth. It's true that the MC did care that he had transmigrated into the second wife of a disfigured man with two children. However, that doesn't change the fact that he treated them more kindly than the ML's original family from the very beginning. So, yeah!... more>>

SUMMARY:

The MC of this novel is called Shao Yunan. He transmigrated into a young man who had the same name, and who had just been recently married to the ML (Wang Shijing) -- who had just gotten back from the army with a big scar on his face, a loss of vision of in one eye, and two children behind him as little tails. Of course, the MC is unhappy with the situation. He had been living a happy and contented life in modern times as a wine and tea seller. Now that he was sent to ancient times, and was forced to deal with the ML's unreasonable family, his mood couldn't be worse. Fortunately, he has a magical space to help improve the lives of him and his new family. So, it's impossible for him to lose.

THOUGHTS:

The story is definitely a poor-to-rich kind of story. However, because the author enjoys their worldbuilding, it goes a lot more in-depth than other stories I've read. Here, from the very beginning, the MC's ascension to great heights had been obvious. There was signs pointing to him being unable to stay only as a simple, wealthy farmer, as he wished. One of the reasons I've disliked other similar stories is because the ascension of those protagonists always seemed so unrealistic. Here, the author did a good job of setting things up so that there wouldn't be issues later.

Oof, by the way, I was actually going to write a full review for this novel, since I liked it a lot. However, in the middle of writing it, the page suddenly refreshed and all the progress was lost @.@. Sooooo a normal review it is for now XD. I'll write a full review when I reread it next time. For now, all I can say is that I really like this novel. I'm glad I ended up reading it despite the summary. The characters were very unique, definitely not your typical shou and gong pairing (the shou is a spunky shou who knows that he's a bottom and is proud of it, while the gong is not your typical overbearing man. From the very beginning, he had always felt inferior to the MC, and while he was very jealous because of it, he wasn't unreasonable, and never stopped supporting his man.)

As for the writing, there's a lot of info-dumping in this novel, and the amount of information in the first few chapters almost made me give up tbh XD. But in the end, I persisted and was glad for it. The info-dumping just made the world richer later. Though, I admit that I was still very confused about who was who sometimes. Ah ... what else. TL quality is okay, there are some chapters that were pretty much the same as MTL though. I think because of the lack of editing. And, on the topic of the MTL! It's readable, like 75%, so not bad. At least, the names of the characters were clear, which is the most important.

RATING: 4.5/5

For now, I think this is the best rating. Later, when I reread it, I'll fine-tune it a bit, but I think it would only go a little higher or a little lower. Regardless, what's important is that, even if the story definitely has its flaws, I enjoyed it a lot. Poor-to-rich stories are the most satisfying for me, and this is one treasure that I definitely cannot believe took me so long to find. (Ah, warning for those unaware, this is a Mature Fic, and while the Smut is not the most explicit, it happens on-screen and there are metaphorical descriptions of the characters doing the deed. If I had to rate it, it would be 2.5/5 spicy XD. Oh, and this is not just for the main pair, but also the side pairs.) <<less

3.85/5!!! [Zombie Apocalypse, Hoarding, Survival, Intrigue] (2nd reread, 03/13/2022): If this novel hadn't been one of the first Zombie Apocalypse Danmei novels that I read, I might not like it as much as I do. It has quite a few flaws (let's not talk about the rushed ending), both in terms of characterization and plot development. HOWEVER, there's no denying that it's very entertaining. Just for the sole fact that the novel starts of as 100% hoarding satisfies my inner hoarder quite a bit LMFAO (no, seriously, 25% of the written text is spent before the apocalypse begins -- which makes sense, as the MC is reborn a year beforehand.) Anyway, I think the novel... more>> is definitely worth the read, though I have to warn you that you shouldn't expect too much in terms of quality or complexity.

________

SUMMARY: The MC, Bai Jing, is the arrogant and reckless illegitimate son of the country's State Councillor. He had been raised by his stepmother and overly doting father with very obvious cannon fodder characteristics, leading him to suffer a lot in the apocalypse despite the support he was given by the ML (Xiao Sa), who was inexplicably obsessed with him and even gave up his life for him. After toughing out a couple of years as an experiment subject, Bai Jing dies and finds himself reborn one year before the apocalypse fully begins.

His goal in this life is to save Xiao Sa, the object of his obsession (the only one who treated him with genuine affection). In their previous life, the MC's spoiled and reckless behavior had caused Xiao Sa to die before they could really settle themselves down. In this life, the MC wishes to protect him in turn and repay his grace of life.

________

CHARACTERS: As a whole, I think that the characters are a bit inconsistent and overly chaotic. I mean, they're not good guys, and that's made very obvious from the very beginning. One can even say that the MC is especially reprehensible. A lot of his choices were really over the top. But there's a lot more focus on character development here than in most novels in the same genre, both for the main characters and the side characters. ALSO, I admit that the MC's character (which, as mentioned, is very similar to how most cannon fodder villains are portrayed) is quite novel. Without a doubt, he's very different from your typical protagonist.

Bai Jing (MC): After having suffered in his previous life, Bai Jing had no intention of getting entangled with anything unnecessary in this new life. He only cared about two things: surviving and Xiao Sa. Xiao Sa was his savior from his last life. Someone who willingly died for him. He wanted to be the one to protect Xiao Sa this time. And with his space ability and the year of pre-apocalypse planning he has been given, he manages.

Xiao Sa (ML): Cold and possessive. He was saved by Bai Jing and was enthralled by his looks. He really likes the MC's tr*shy young master act (which isn't an act at all, as Bai Jing is very over the top a lot of the time.) Anyway, Xiao Sa is wholly devoted to Bai Jing!

_________

THOUGHTS: Great read! Despite my more negative remarks. I really enjoyed this read and reading it till the end made me want more. I got attached to the characters by the end, even if they were very unlikable at times. I was also hoping for a little bit more resolution T.T (the ending is definitely a bit too abrupt). But these are just mindless complaints. I enjoyed the setting a lot, and will definitely not hesitate to reread it in the future. The final rating would be around 3.85/5. Which is why I gave it four stars. This may be a bit high when you consider the quality of the novel, but I'm taking into account personal enjoyment (the hoarding at the very beginning was really fun XD) and bias (that's right, I'm very biased lmfao! This is one of the first CN Zombie Apocalypse novels that I read, and it's part of why I'm so obsessed with CN novels today. So my filter for it is pretty strong.) <<less

It's about the same as I said in my old review. Not bad at all, and one of the better CN Apocalypse Novels. Though one can say that that description is a bit iffy.

Adventure Fantasy Mature Romance Shounen Ai Slice of Life

3.55/5!!! [Transmigration, Poor-to-Rich, Farming, Magical Space] Not a bad read for someone who enjoys farming stories! I originally hesitated to read this because the TL was unfinished, and it was only now that I remembered to get back to it. Have to say, I really shouldn't have hesitated XD Although some of the terms are confusing in MTL (e.g., mother = grandma, get = little brother, etc. etc.) once you get a handle of it, the MTL is at least 75% readable (better than most, at least. So, if you're hesitating because of the same reason as me, I say give it a shot!... more>>

SUMMARY:

This novel plays out very much like your typical 'transmigrating to ancient times to farm and make money' CN novels. But it's also unique in some areas. For example, whilst the transmigrating MC, Tang Chunming, comes back with a space golden finger on his person, the original owner of the body had not only been previously married, but also had a young child and an unborn baby in his stomach. XD I mean, one can say that doesn't matter, but in those times, it mattered quite a bit! In most other novels, the story starts with the MC being forced into marriage. Here, the MC is just recently widowed, which changes things a bit. Thankfully, the MC is not your typical 'soft-shou-MC'. He's very strong-willed and he knows how to fight for a peaceful life. And so, not only does he manage to protect the original owner's children, but he also finds himself a second husband -- the ML, who is a general that just came back from the war.

THOUGHTS:

Because most of what I read was in MTL, I don't dare to write my usual in-depth review. However, when it comes to the usual criteria, I can still share a bit. For example, I thought that the characters of this novel were pretty good. You still had your typical cannon fodders that were completely unrealistic to provide good face-slapping segments. But, aside from them, the side characters were very simple and easy to like. The main characters also were not your usual MC and ML, which was interesting.

As for the setting, this novel is set in a world where there is no such thing as women, only Gers. Gers, that can give birth to children but had the same body (externally) as a man. The main characters don't touch the more complicated matters in the capital all that much, so the focus is on the simple rural life. The MC doesn't hesitate to improve his family's living conditions by making money, but he's not ambitious or greedy, so he shares blessings with everyone. ALL in all, if you enjoy poor-to-rich developments and farming novels (which I happen to do), this is definitely not a bad one to invest some time in.

RATING: 3.55/5

Although you can't say that this novel is top-quality goods, I think it's a lot better than some of the other similar novels out there. Mostly because it's a lot more chill (though there's still lots of irrelevant drama that you can skip if you want.) It's a very simple kind of read, great if you're looking for something casual on the side. <<less

3.5/5!!! [Second Chance, Zombie Apocalypse, Infrastructure, Hoarding] This is a short and straightforward infrastructure/zombie-apocalypse-survival novel that just so happened to hit all the right spots for me. I admit that it's very flawed, especially in terms of character development. But as a plot-driven work, it worked out just fine. All I can say is ... don't expect too much from the characters XD. This is best described as a novel for those who enjoy farming/hoarding/management. Even the zombies and abilities are secondary. They're there mostly to give the MC a platform to build infrastructure freely LMFAO.... more>>

________

SUMMARY: The initial premise of this novel is similar to "Back to the Apocalypse". The MC is reborn a couple of months prior to the apocalypse to collect supplies and partner up with the ML. After which, there's a bit of adventuring as they gather comrades and move towards their chosen safe base. Then, it's all infrastructure! As for detailed plot, although the MC does suffer quite a lot in his first life, outside of mentioning it a couple of times, there's no real progress there. It's just there. So, don't expect any face-slapping or revenge plots XD. No healing either.

________

THOUGHTS: I would be lying if I said that this is a good work lolol. The reason why I have a high impression on it is purely based on personal preferences. That is ... if I were to rate this with my usual criteria (characters, romance, setting, and plot-development), it wouldn't be able to measure up at all XD. That being the case, I decided to avoid doing a detailed review for the time being. All I can say for now is that if you like infrastructure novels, then you'll like it. If you don't, then you won't. XD The MC of this novel can be said to be very Gary Stue, whilst the ML is non-existent (I had high expectations based on his first few appearances, but ..... he slowly began to be more and more superfluous. I mean, if he and the MC actually, I dunno, communicated, maybe there would be no reason for me to rate it so lowly XD. All they do in the story is cuddle. I don't think they have chemistry at all. And it really doesn't make sense that the ML is the leader when most of the time, all he does is act as the MC's vehicle (you'll know what I mean when you read it XD).

ANYWAY ... so yeah, my impression of the characters and romantic plot is definitely not high. I'm saying it now so that you don't have any high expectations hehh. As for the MTL (I read this after translating the raws through Google Translate), it's pretty good! Some names are messed up (most prominently: Han Ya, who is translated as Hana or Asiana XD There's also Wen Le, who is referred to as Young Master or Wen Shao), gender pronouns are also messed up (as per usual), but altogether not bad. The author's writing style is relatively straightforward. So the readability is high (around 80-85%, which is very good for MTL). For the time being, I've decided to give this novel a 3.5/5 rating. Again, if it were based on my usual criteria, this would be A LOT lower. But, adding 'personal enjoyment' to my score, this is what I got hehe. <<less

3.15/5!!! [Second Chance, Zombie Apocalypse, Whimsical, Survival] (2nd Reread Update: 03/12/2023): Second time rereading this novel! I admit that the novel is a bit too whimsical, and is in fact quite flawed, but I have some fondness for it because it's the first CN Zombie Apocalypse novel that I read LMFAO. As I'll mention again later on, this novel is more plot-driven than character driven. The main characters become more and more meaningless as the time goes on XD, and the plot just takes over after a while (which is what led me to stop this time around -- I only read up to the 80th chapter).... more>>

________

SUMMARY: The MC of this novel, Su Ruize, is your typical reborn protagonist -- he has a magical space and with the foreknowledge of the upcoming apocalypse, he's given the opportunity to hoard materials and gather a team before everything went to shit. What's extra about him is that he also has wood abilities. These wood abilities will require that you subvert your disbelief quite a bit, since it enables him to weaponize plants lolol. In any case, with such a cheat, he pretty much powers his way through the apocalypse along with the ML, Zhan Yun, who was an almost-lover in his first life that he had regretted leaving behind.

________

CHARACTERS: The characters in this story are a bit boring. They had potential, but because the story is more plot-focused, they’re really mostly there for effect and to look cool.

Su Ruizhe (MC) is a typical Gary Stue. He has a power space ability as well as a wood ability that allows him to turn plants into weapons. His personality is usually a mix of shy and timid. But, there are odd key moments where he becomes OOC.

Zhan Yan (ML) is your typical possessive ML. He has a strong oppressive ability and is the leader of their group. His personality is pretty consistent but lacks depth.

___________

THOUGHTS: As a plot-driven story, it shines most in this regard.. I found the worldbuilding here quite amusing (especially the first time I read it.) The MC's abilities are definitely of broken, but well, it's quite fun regardless. Of course, as is common with other zombie apocalypse novels, the zombies and humans both are able to mutate and evolve here. Outside of that, I really love the survival elements. Those are definitely my fav parts of the story. The novel starts a month before the apocalypse and prepping for the end was fun. I think the story shined most in the beginning actually, because of these survival elements. Later on, the story grew more grand scale, and all the fun little things explored early on kind of became unnecessary. The pacing of the story is just a bit too fast, I suppose. Not much romance here btw. The main characters get together pretty quickly, tho that’s mostly background stuff. ALL IN ALL, I think it's worth reading for the fun of it. It's definitely the best in quality, which is why I'm only giving it a 3.2/5 rating, but its uniqueness makes it quite a novelty. <<less

(Updated: 2nd Reread - 03/22/2023) Reread it, and can now confirm that it is not a mood thing. The reason why I can't get myself to continue reading this novel is that it's a bit of a mess. The world is set in the zombie apocalypse but the zombies are not really zombies (most of the ones we see on screen are conscious) and there are plotholes everywhere. Anyway, no amount of ranting will truly get my point across, so let me just say this --- it's an okay novel, but the plot was clumsily executed and the MC and ML were not strong enough as protagonists to hold up the failing plot (I hope that makes sense XD).

_____________

SUMMARY: The MC, Mu Yifan, is an author that transmigrates into his own zombie apocalypse novel. He takes on the role of Mu Yifan, the Zombie King that was directly at odds with the protagonist (AKA, the ML Zhan Betia). He fully expects that the protagonist will kill him after he regains his memories of the previous timeline (wherein the protagonist dies at the hand of OG!MYF). MC thus decides it would be best to kill the protagonist off so that he could go back to his own world. Unfortunately, he's trumped again and again by the fact that the protagonist looks like his best friend in real life (also named Zhan Beitian). So, instead of successfully finishing off the protagonist, he ends up magically pregnant with the ML's baby lolol.

RATING: 3.08/5

I enjoyed what I read. But I really couldn't get myself to continue reading it after a while. Part of it may just be because certain parts felt like they were dragging along and going nowhere. And it could also because the author fails so hard when it comes to setting up the world. IDK. It's not for me, but I'm glad I picked it up anyway, since it was a good way to waste time for a while. Oh, btw, the first time I read this, I only read up to 117 and my rating was vaguely 3 stars. This time, I made it a little further (C163) and the final rating is 3.08! (As a final note, the TLs for this novel are all over the place. I recommend reading the first few from the original translator and going straight to MTL-ing it on Google Translate.) <<less

2.81/5!!! [Transmigration, Xianxia, Poor-to-Rich, Magical Space] First things first, the quality of this novel is definitely not the best. The TL is okay, but the writing itself is very simple, like... super basic with lots of repetitive phrases (if you did a drinking game for every “—— was speechless” or “—— was at a lost for words” you would have probably died of liver failure... DX). The pacing is super fast too, and the characters not very in depth. Altogether, definitely a rough work. BUT! Well—- the main premise of the move is the MC making money, spending money to get stronger, making even more money to get stronger, and so on and so forth.... more>>

2.8/5!!! [Transmigration, Comedy, Zombie Apocalypse, Xuanhuan] (UPDATE: 11/28/2022) I'm on a rereading spree and I ended up stumbling on this little gem once again. It's not bad. I read it till the end this time (previously, I only read up to c42). The MTL is readable if you plug the raw chapters into google translate (simplified Chinese to English). All I can say is that it's a novel that's more comedic than serious. The focus isn't really on survival, as the zombie apocalypse setting may imply. The tone of the novel is very comedic because of the POV character and the style of narration (which is full of slang). The direction is also a bit... more>>

2.75/5!!! [Zombie Apocalypse, Xuanhuan, Adventure] (2nd Reread Update) : I seemed to have liked this novel a lot during my first read, but it's plot-driven style is not really suitable for a reread (it's not as exciting when you know what's going to happen LMAO). The characters are not that special either. The MC is very indifferent and the ML is simply a cute and (later) sexy accessory most of the time XD. What's notable is that the Plot is of this novel is from the usual Zombie Apocalypse novel. Not only because the MC is a Zombie (and he's also a Gong!MC! Which is rare LOL), but also because he wasn't the person that... more>>
