The whole house has been sick for the past three weeks, so I haven't had much energy to blog lately. However, my preorder came in! I loved the anime, so I was excited to buy the whole manga box set.
Shao Fei is a passerby, and his roles are not even as good as cannon fodder, but he is still conscientiously being a passerby.
I look forward to doing assists and watching the development of the hero and heroine, but this wish has not been realized, and my mother doesn't even know the plot when I watch the plot.
Shao Fei: "Do you think the male lead is looking at me in the wrong way?"
System: "..." You just found out! ?
There is a grass in his heart. This grass does not belong to him, but it is always dangling in front of him. Finally, he mutated in silence.
A passer-by who thinks he is very ordinary, A, B, C, Shou & a man who never thought he would fall in love, Gong
MY REVIEW:
Because I liked a couple of the author's other books (Hold On, You Can and Agreement Mark), I thought that I would enjoy Passerby Male Lead. However, it took me a while to realize that I didn't really like the love interest. And I didn't really like the second arc either. I made it halfway through the second arc (chapter 66) before deciding to quit just because I was losing interest.
Murong Ning got a space bracelet during an expedition. This bracelet is a trial space.
Every day you enter the trial space, you can get a task, and the task may be to collect meat or fur, or other things, and these things are often There is excess, and excess can be used in reality.
Just before Murong Ning had time to be proud, she was pushed down from the third floor by her half-sister.
This time, she was extremely happy and sad, she actually transmigrated into a book of apocalyptic stories, and unfortunately she became a cannon fodder female match.
When she confirmed that she had brought the space bracelet, she was given a task, "Then what, do the cultivation technique?" She rolled her eyes, wondering if this cultivation technique has rice or extra? Can you practice by yourself?
See how the female partner cultivates in the apocalypse and ascends freely.
MY REVIEW:
I made it to chapter 126 before deciding to quit reading this book. The amateur writing and characters, especially the Mary Sue protagonist, made me want to quit the book even earlier. However, I wanted to push through and read even further to see if the book would get better because I wanted to read a zombie apocalypse novel. But after reading over a third of the book, I had to quit because the male lead finally showed his true colors, and I was not a fan. There was already enough cons to reading this book, but that was the straw that broke the camel's back lol. When will I find a good zombie apocalypse novel again???
Last month was pretty busy. So busy that I had no time to write my December update lol. Now, I’m trying to make up for lost time!
December started off with Alec and me going to his company’s annual Christmas party. It was Vegas themed, so there were a lot of performances and card tables available. Lots of food, too. I met a lot of his coworkers and ate a lot of desserts.
We stayed until near the end of the night for the raffle drawings, since a lot of people left or didn’t show up, so we thought we’d have a higher chance of winning lol. Unfortunately, we didn’t, but Alec’s coworker at our table and his girlfriend both won something!
The next Wednesday, Kyle, Shelle, Luna, and I drove down to watch Brian graduate from college. This was Luna’s longest car ride yet, and it wasn’t going so great because she missed a few naps and was cranky most of the day.
We made a stop at Alec’s house midway to change her diaper, feed her, and put her down for a quick nap. However, he wasn’t home, and I didn’t bring my spare key because we texted the night before, and he joked that he’d stay home with us after all. I thought he was being serious, but he thought I was joking, so there was a whole miscommunication going on, and he had to leave his office and open the door for us during lunch lol. It wasn’t a big deal after all lol. He has a lot of patience.
We were a little late by the time we got to Brian’s graduation, but it was fine because we found a spot at the back with lots of room for Luna and her stroller to chill. Afterwards, we took a lot of pics outside with Brian and went home to hangout until dinner. We went to Outback to celebrate, and drove back home afterwards. It was a long day, and we still had to go to work the next day. Crazy.
The next Friday, we went to Kyle’s MBA graduation. This took a lot more planning because it was at GA Tech’s football stadium, and it was estimated to go as low as 45 degrees that day. We had Luna dressed up in a thermal onesie, the fluffy bear onesie I got her for Christmas, and a beanie just to keep her warm.
Alec drove up the night before and stayed with us, so we could carpool together. Our parents, Brian, and Kyle’s parents also drove up separately and met up with us at the stadium. Parking was insane. Because our parents got there early, they had a good parking spot, so Shelle and Luna stayed with them to help them navigate to the stadium while Alec and I drove to another parking deck further away and walked over to meet up with everyone.
The graduation ceremony was chaotic. A lot of people were jumping their lines and not following the appropriate schools that they called up. A lot of people left after walking the stage. Like, this was around the time when the bachelor degrees had already walked.
Unfortunately, Kyle’s class was near the end, so we waited for a long time just to see him walk. Luckily, there was still light out, so we could see him lol.
Afterwards, we met up with him to take pics and go home. Of course, we ran into traffic going home, so that took a lot longer than expected. However, Kyle picked up Korean fried chicken for us, so we had a hot dinner waiting for us at home, since he beat us going home from a different direction lol.
I also bought a lot of scrapbooking stuff during Black Friday, and most of it came in near the end of December. This was my setup at the dining table as I did pages for the San Fran trip I went to in September.
I also bought more scrapbooking stuff in December on Etsy (a whole new world opened up to me lol) because I was addicted to buying cool scrapbooking stuff. I spent the second half of December and early January waiting for everything to arrive lol.
The parents came up to spend Christmas weekend with us. Mom had a whole menu thought out, and Shelle and I made over 80 kitchen sink cookies lol.
On Christmas day, Kyle’s mom and stepdad also came over to celebrate. I thought they were just staying for lunch, but they kept on watching movie after movie in the living room and waiting to play with Luna whenever she wasn’t napping. I think they stayed until dinner.
Anyway, after seeing the third Christmas movie and having small chat with them, I was tired of being there and decided to go to Alec’s house and spend time with his family who drove down from DC. The plan was to go to his house the next morning and see his family off, but once I found out that traffic was nonexistent on Christmas Day, I decided to just go earlier.
I made it to Alec’s house in time for dinner, and it was all good! Lol. I went back home the next night because I still had work on Tuesday, and Brian was coming over to give his Christmas presents. He had a cold the week before and decided to stay away from everyone during Christmas.
I spent the rest of the year working and relaxing at home! All-in-all, a good way to end the year.
Yun Ling was invited to attend the public beta test of “Apocalypse Calamity.” In the end, she successfully survived a hundred days, and obtained the “Lord Token”, “Life Skill Level Retention” and “S Rank Skill” as rewards.
The beta ended, and she waited with anticipation for the opening of the game. But then the world became the game… …
Yun — life skill player — Ling thought, what could she do? Continue to drag out her ignoble existence.
Intermediate Fishing, Intermediate Foraging, Advanced Sewing, Advanced Cooking. So many life skills in hand. She wanted to hoard grain, produce, recruit troops, build, and turn her land into an indestructible steel fort.
4 STARS - I REALLY LIKED IT
MY REVIEW:
There's not many apocalypse novels available that aren't about zombie apocalypse. This one was even more unique because it started as a beta version of a VR game that in turn went into the real world.
As a lord, I think Yun Ling's management strategy was smart. She tried to be as fair as possible. Also, I really like her hoarding tendencies because I'm totally the same in video games lol.
If you're looking for romance, it's so light that you can almost miss it. If you're looking for slice of life but enough action and tension to keep you invested in each chapter, then you're looking for the right book!
Song Sisi is a veteran of holographic online games.
Occupation: Nurse.
Life skills are at full level, yes, she is a heavy online game enthusiast who is said to be addicted to life skills and unable to extricate herself.
One day, when she was picking medicine with a small sickle in the wild, she stumbled into the group battlefield of the krypton gold player.
After the death, Song Sisi found out that she was wearing it. Bringing her game attributes into the apocalyptic inspirational cool article she put aside before entering the game, she became the cannon fodder villain female supporting role of the same name. Or the kind that is about to get a box lunch.
Help, help, she is a salted fish!
In order to save her dog's life, Song Sisi decided to stay away from her sister Meiqiangsa and her CP.
The apocalypse will come in three days, right? Looking for a house, hoarding supplies, and counting down to death by being obedient, bah, no, being obedient and wretched.
Song Sisi felt that with these, she was enough to save the world by the heroine and the hero.
One day, she inadvertently used her professional skills to save an ugly man who fell on the edge of her farm, and then she became a famous apocalyptic doctor.
Every day, all kinds of people come to ask her to take action and defect. Slowly, the farm became a base, and the farmer became the base owner... Brain hurts!
Even the prospective brother-in-law who disliked her and treated her like a scorpion pulled her face down with her seriously injured sister to ask her for treatment.
Then she found out that the ugly monster who acted with her all day turned out to be the great villain in the later period who was known as the most handsome in the book, followed the heroine and had a crush on the heroine, and finally fell in love with him but had to be ruthlessly blackened.
So, is it too late for her to poison the villain now?
Demining:
- Work hard on sand sculptures. So far there are no sand sculptures.
- I am very vegetable I know.
- The private setting is like a mountain. If you don't like it, don't force it. The author does not know how to write copy.
- The heroine only has golden fingers, and she does not and will not awaken any abilities. The heroine is not invincible at the beginning!
- It’s normal to feel awkward and embarrassed. I was embarrassed to death when I wrote it.
- Logic doesn't pop out of nowhere.
4 STARS - I REALLY LIKED IT
MY REVIEW:
This was hilarious! I was constantly amused by Song Sisi's and her friends' antics! Other bases always have power struggles, but her farm is the opposite. Everyone just wants to go out and kill zombies lol.
The plot twist at the end was very unexpected, but I liked it lol.
One day Ning Ge met a person on the road, and the person "sent" her a bracelet before he died. From the bracelet, Ning Ge discovered several things:
First, this world is an infinite flow task world.
Second, she is an NPC.
Third, the world will be wiped out in eight hours and cease to exist.
Pei Han, the world-famous top-tier Alpha whose mission is constantly operating, suddenly did not do his right job, and there was no movement.
Big Brother Pei: I've been busy eating soft rice recently, don't bother.
Everyone (horrified): Soft rice? Whose soft rice to eat?
Mr. Pei: It's a piece of code. The kind that each character is especially cute.
4 STARS - I REALLY LIKED IT
MY REVIEW:
I rarely read infinite flow just because I haven't found many novel summaries that interested me enough. However, I decided to give this novel a shot because the summary was VERY interesting (NPC gaining wisdom!) and because I loved the author's other novel A Fake Holy Mother in the Zombie Apocalypse. That novel was hilarious, so I was kind of hoping to see the same level of comedic humor in What Kind of Evil Can an NPC Have?
While the focus of the book was more on unraveling all of the puzzles to escape the task worlds and Ning Ge and Pei Han's romance, there WAS just enough humor to balance the tension because holy crap, people keep on dying in these task worlds.
But each task world was diverse and so interesting! I really liked the train world, puppet world, and invasion world. I MTLed the whole book, so I didn't understand some of the clue explanations. If someone ever decides to translate this novel, I would definitely read it again.
I was too addicted to reading webtoons last month to even remember to pick up a physical book lol. I'm going to try to do better this month!
I've recently gotten back into webtoons this past month! Read lots of interesting ones instead of watching any of the new season's anime. Alec and I are waiting for more episodes to come out before binging them!
I read:
