I Come from Afar Within the Zerg - Reviews

This story is so fluffy and sweet!!!! (Muffled screaming)

My favorite parts were the second, third, and fourth arcs. I enjoyed the fifth arc too, but it had a bittersweet feel to it (QAQ), and I prefer the fluffier arcs. The first arc was a bit boring and reminded me a lot of the protagonist in another book by the same author, but it wasn’t terrible. , this is an excellent novel, and I highly recommend everyone read it!!!!!

Really good 10/10 for me, but honestly, the 6th arc, or basically the last couple, was a bit of a turn-off. I'm disappointed with the main character (MC) in this part and how he is placed in that plot. I had high expectations due to the first five arcs, but nevertheless, the novel still ended well.

Actually, it's just fine, but I feel it would have been better if this arc had been placed second or even first, as it deals with the "origin of the zerg." How should I put it? The 6th arc features the most "childish" and "weaker" version of the MC compared to all the others, and I was expecting someone else to handle this kind of "serious and extreme end" plot. There were more "suitable" MCs for this genre of story, and I was hoping the story could have ended even better, given how great the arcs before the 6th were. (IMO)

I love it, haha! I love all the arcs, but the one I enjoy the most is the third. However, my favorite main character is from the fifth arc—a yandere guy with a bit of a red flag is absolutely my type! I can’t help but think, "Dang, he’s hot!" whenever I’m reading arc 5.

None of the arcs involve babies or pregnancy (yet), though the author has mentioned it. I can’t help feeling a bit sad about that, but it is what it is.

I would give this book 10 stars if I could.

The "Seme protagonist" tag caught my attention, and as a seasoned fan of this genre, I was initially skeptical of the glowing reviews. However, after reading just a few chapters, I realized I was wrong. This was my first dive into this universe, and I was immediately hooked, eagerly waiting for each new update.

My eagerness to read more led me to create a jjwxc account and spend my hard-earned money on the raw version.

And it was definitely worth it.

I managed to read the entire book through machine translation. Honestly, it’s a really easy read for the most part. It’s an excellent novel, and I enjoyed it far more than I expected. While everyone has already shared their thoughts and I agree with them, I just wanted to add my own comments:

*Spoiler*
I plan to revisit this novel once it’s fully translated. I’m curious about the final part of the extra chapter and what the plot was trying to convey. Is the current human world millions of years after the Zerg world? From Salilanfa to Folang Village, I enjoyed all the arcs, but I especially loved how the author tied up all the loose ends in the best possible way. The only thing that saddens me is that Lin Kong was transported so early in the era and didn’t get to witness the civilization he helped build.

It was a magnificent ending, even though I didn’t fully understand the machine translation.

I absolutely love how the author crafted an entire work centered around the Zerg; it’s truly amazing.

I won’t deny that my favorite character is the protagonist from the first story. He’s incredibly cool, charismatic, and powerful, with a personality that I personally adore. It might be a cliché, but it’s executed so well that you can’t help but be captivated. Very impressive.

The other characters are enjoyable too, but for me, the first one stands out as the best by far.

This is a series of 6 arcs featuring 6 travelers from a tour group who find themselves transported to the Zerg world. Each arc is interconnected, with a dominant male lead, and the entire series is incredibly well-crafted. If you enjoy possessive male leads and seme protagonists, this series is perfect for you. It explores 6 distinct relationships, each of which is deeply satisfying in its own unique way. Normally, I’m not a fan of multiple protagonists with their own arcs, but this series stands out. Each story could easily stand alone as a full novel.

The author’s world-building is exceptional. Without giving away too much, there’s a significant revelation by the end of the 6 stories that ties everything together beautifully. After finishing this series, I went back to explore some of the author's earlier works, and it’s clear they’ve made tremendous progress. While the author excels at crafting seme protagonists and powerful male leads with fulfilling relationships, their earlier novel, a cultivation story, shows how far they’ve come in terms of world-building and plot development.

If you enjoyed the relationship dynamics in this series, I’d definitely recommend checking out the author’s other works. However, among the three I’ve read so far, this one is my favorite.

YES!!! You don’t understand... I will fight tooth and nail for this novel!

This is not a review, but an enthusiastic opinion. I have read this twice now, and I’ll still reread it again later. Each arc has its own unique charm and allure. Even when I think I won’t like a certain couple, I end up being pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed every bit of it. The novel’s pacing was well-executed. The characters were well-developed and intriguing, each with their own motives and interests. The plot kept moving forward, even when it wasn’t immediately obvious.

Aaahhhh! It’s my absolute favorite!!!

Little Yellow Duck Tour Group

Arc 1: Chapter 1 - 54

This was quite good, it had a perfect match vibe going on. I like how both characters are strong; the main character (MC) is a delinquent, and the male lead (ML) is the 7th prince. They’re both so cute.

Arc 2: Chapter 55 - 87

I can’t deny that this arc was different, and it’s not my favorite, but the couple is still cute. The MC is a psycho businessman, and the ML is the 8th crippled prince. They have their quirks and are very broken in their own ways. The MC doesn’t really understand love, but it’s obvious he loves the ML.

Arc 3: Chapter 88 - 124

I actually liked this arc. Although the ML is very unstable, irrational, and has anger issues, he’s still cute. I love how the MC admits his mistakes and treats the ML so gently. He’s got a sleeper body, 100%. He’s so strong but doesn’t look it. I love these two together.

Arc 4: Chapter 125 - 162

I absolutely loved this arc; it was so good! I love the MC and ML. I’m glad the "Little Yellow Duck Tour Group" is finally getting together and getting along. It’s amazing to see how cool they are when fighting, and both being overpowered (OP) is just fantastic.

Arc 5: Chapter 163 - 203

I loved this arc! They’re so cute, the MC and ML are lovely. I appreciate how the revenge was handled. The old man and his son definitely deserved what they got. They should’ve been tortured with a thousand whips! Oh well, they got what they deserved. Hehehe, I love seeing how the two males are basically best friends.

Arc 6: Chapter 204 - 229

I quite liked this arc; they’re so cute together ?. The MC is quite funny, and the ML is so cute.

, this book was very nice.

One of the best Zerg novels I've read. I wasn't expecting the unique twists in each arc. Even though I have my favorites, I truly love all the couples. Each of their love stories is distinct, with no repetition in how they develop.

Here are the arcs and the couples (I machine-translated the names, so they might differ):

Arc 1:
Lu Yuan and Yusto (Gangster Protagonist x Seventh Prince). The protagonist wakes up in the Solitiam Forest and is rescued by the Western Zerg military clan. The setting is primarily in the academy where the male lead (ML) is also studying. Lu Yuan is the first 100% pure-blooded male discovered before others.

Arc 2:
Han Yan x Gaien (Businessman x Eighth Prince with a leg disability). Han Yan's original body died, so he reincarnated into a different Zerg male body, the son of a lower-tier noble with debts. His previous body also had a leg disability, allowing him to relate to the eighth prince. Han Yan turned the Solitiam Forest into a tourist spot.

Arc 3:
Xu Chenfeng x Faus (Tour Guide/Second Life x Northern Zerg Leader). Xu Chenfeng was the tour guide of the bus. This is actually his second life in the Zerg world, as he was reborn after his first life. In his first life, Xu Chenfeng and Faus had a strained relationship, and he found a way to return to Earth without knowing that Faus would die on the battlefield while pregnant with his child. When Xu Chenfeng returned, he was unhappy and regretful, often dreaming about what happened to Faus. He attempted suicide and woke up again on the bus about to fall off a cliff, marking the beginning of everything.

Arc 4:
Ah Sui x Brande (Martial Artist x Southern Zerg General). Ah Sui is the strongest martial artist and the youngest in the village. He is somewhat innocent but incredibly powerful. He and Xu Chenfeng were kidnapped by the Star Thieves, but Ah Sui became the leader of the Star Thieves at the start. Brande was captured by another Star Thief and presented to Ah Sui as a gift, but Ah Sui lets him do whatever he wants on the spaceship. I love this arc because Ah Sui is so cute ❤️

Arc 5:
You Que x Sanya (Tour Driver/Ex-Prisoner for Stealing x Ex-Prisoner Southern Zerg Military Female). You Que ends up in an unknown place with a dying male Zerg whose ID he takes, pretending to be that male Zerg for identification purposes. He ends up working as a bartender at a bar owned by Sanya. Sanya was an ex-prisoner who was jailed for brutally killing a male Zerg who secretly had his wings removed.

Last Arc is a major spoiler for the final twist, so proceed with caution:

Arc 6:
Lin Kong x Hermes (Actor x S-Class Female Hatched by the Insect King in the Forest). The protagonist ends up millions of years in the past when the Zerg hadn't evolved yet. There was still an Insect King who gave birth by ordering his servants to find food for him and devouring their life source. Hermes is one of the four main servants of the king who has attained intelligence and human form. He keeps the protagonist as prey and they live in a cave. The protagonist teaches him kissing, hugging, and more. The protagonist also teaches the other Zerg insects how to build houses and other things, leading to the advanced Zerg world of the future.

My favorite arcs:
I really love Xu Chenfeng's, Ah Sui's, and Lin Kong's arcs. I prefer cute protagonists, so I adore Ah Sui and Lin Kong. Although I don't like Han Yan much because he's a bit cold, I love his story with his partner and enjoyed seeing Han Yan's brother, who is cute. I love Xu Chenfeng's arc because it's tragic in his first life, but he makes up for it in his second life. Lastly, I really love the last arc because I didn't expect the protagonist to travel back in time at the start. I initially thought the protagonist ended up in a secluded Zerg clan in the present. I wish there was more to the last arc. I want to see Hermes' reaction when he ends up pregnant. Not just in the last arc, I want to see the other couples have babies too. Except for Sanya, as he doesn't like it.

, this was an incredible read, and I highly recommend it, especially if you're already familiar with Zerg settings!

The storyline is truly fantastic! The author's handwriting is impressive too! However, I'm really confused about the additional elements of the novel. The author doesn’t explain clearly how Xu can travel back in time or the connection between the village and the Zerg world. I’m posting this for anyone who can shed some light on these points. If you know the details, please comment back. My curiosity is through the roof. Thank you.

One of the best Zerg stories I've ever read, each arc keeps you hooked until the satisfying conclusion. Kudos to the author for crafting such an engaging novel. It focuses on world-building while also developing characters with their own unique stories that intertwine beautifully. The conflicts are resolved in satisfying ways, and I couldn't stop reading until the very end. I loved every main couple, and they all deserved their happy endings, especially the third pair.

I don't want to spoil too much and highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys Zerg stories or is new to the genre.
