2 STARS - IT WAS OKAY
MY REVIEW:
Remember how I said that I am the Lucky Cat of an MMORPG felt like it was written by an amateur fanfic author? Well, this book was written very similarly, complete with over-describing scenes, blatantly pointing everything out, and including self-inserted author's notes throughout the story in multiple chapters. Very much in line with an amateur author who feels like they have to point out everything to you in case you miss their very obvious scenes.
However, just like reading newbie fanfics, I still couldn't stop reading this book lol. I was really interested in figuring out the whole reason for the apocalypse and the zombies' origin. I just didn't realize that there are two arcs to the story and that only the first arc is about the zombie apocalypse. Like the first translator's notes said, if you only want to enjoy a zombie apocalypse story with a nice enough ending, you should stop at the end of the first arc.
The second arc is a quick cultivation arc has a new cast of characters other than the main couple and two other people. It really wasn't what I was expecting, but I stuck it out because I was almost finished with the book. This arc was pretty fast and didn't have much impact because of the MC's golden fingers and innate talent helped him cultivate quickly. The ending really came out of nowhere... It was too abrupt and random honestly.

3.5 STARS - I LIKED IT
MY REVIEW:
I started reading this book a year or two ago and forgot about it while waiting for it to finish updating. I was surprised by how much I remembered while I reread the first half of the novel.
Back then, I hadn't read The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System yet, so I hadn't noticed the similarities between the two books that people always mentioned in reviews. After reading both books, I can definitely the similarities, especially in the beginning. However, this book also reminded me of Transmigrating into a Mob Character to Rehabilitate the Villain Plan. All three books deal with painfully insecure yandere male leads and straight male readers who started off only wanting to help the tragic male leads. If you liked any of these three books, you'll probably like the rest lol. Sometimes, you inexplicably have the urge to read yaoi cultivation novels about reborn yandare male leads and their airheaded masters.

Summary from Novel Updates:
A major event happened recently to the demonic sect – their powerful sect master suddenly went missing.
Everyone comforted each other: “Don’t worry, the sect master must be out pursuing fun, and so on.”
“Well, that makes sense.”
They waited.
Waited and waited.
Waited and waited.
Waited and… Everyone slammed the table: “We’ve waited so long! The sect master must have met with a mishap! Look for him!!” Numerous disciples therefore ran rumbling down the mountain.
On a certain day of the month, a certain sect master opened his eyes and thought in confusion: Hey, who am I?
4 STARS - I REALLY LIKED IT
MY REVIEW:
Imagine waking up injured and with amnesia. You don't know who to trust, and all of a sudden, there's a conspiracy occurring throughout the country. What's left is a huge reveal that shakes everyone's hearts to the core.
There were so many layers and schemes to this book that I was caught unprepared most of the time! The author left so many foreshadowing hints throughout the book that I'm really debating on rereading now that I know what to look out for.
Also, there are a couple of really shameless characters who love to pull aggro and piss people off. That, or they're so shameless that they make people suffer from their antics, which made the book hilarious. I felt so bad for all of the trouble the elders and underlings went through because of them lmao.
