I Dumped the Male Lead Before the Apocalypse - Reviews

Regarding the story, I don't have much to comment. Initially, I wished for a more engaging plot to satiate my interest, but I'm unsure what exactly was missing. The story was decent, but I would've appreciated delving deeper into the reason behind Tang Tang and JZ's breakup. That was my motivating factor to finish it, but it didn't eventuate. Now, I don't feel strongly about the ending – it neither disappoints nor surprises me. I'd rate it around 2 or 3 stars, although I accidentally gave it one initially.

I did enjoy Tang Tang's unique abilities and JZ's character, which set them apart from typical choices in zombie apocalypse narratives. The system space is a common feature in these stories, but it stood out.

As for a minor point, I understand if others disagree, but I didn't find it strange for JZ to forgive Tang Tang, treat them kindly, and still want to protect them. They were once partners, so their bond wasn't severed solely because of the breakup.

Tang Tang's fear that JZ might abandon them to the zombies was a system-generated concern, which made me doubt JZ's actual intentions. Such an action, even during the apocalypse, seemed quite extraordinary. To me, JZ's continued love and desire to keep Tang Tang safe seemed more plausible than a complete rejection.

In summary, while the story didn't fully meet my expectations, there were elements I appreciated, particularly the characters' dynamics.

To be honest, the early chapters were quite disappointing. They were below average. It's true that the main character (FL) treated the love interest (ML) harshly by ending things due to financial reasons. The logic that she'd seek revenge and make her friends look down because she was rejected seems flawed.

Initially, MC was quite kind to ML, so it's surprising how much they changed and decided to break up. There might be underlying reasons for their behavior.

I disliked how ML's friends treated MC at first, especially grabbing her collar. It didn't seem supportive or friendly. The ML's cold reaction also annoyed me. Despite MC saving him multiple times, they didn't owe each other anything.

Both MC and ML's reactions were understandable given the circumstances, but their attitudes were off. MC felt guilty, while ML seemed traumatized and irrational after being betrayed. While同情他, I also believed that friends should help each other, but their treatment of MC was unjust.

When they realized MC had most of the food, their priorities shifted. It frustrated me that MC didn't stand up for herself due to excessive guilt. She should focus on her feelings for ML, not concern herself with his friends.

MC's character seemed overly empathetic, and it felt manipulative at times. Just because she provided help and support, it didn't mean she owed them anything. It made the story feel forced and unconvincing, like an overused plot device.

As for the end-of-the-world scenario, their initial reaction to abandon MC was harsh, even if it was justified for revenge. It didn't take long for them to change their tune when they needed her resources. This inconsistency was frustrating.

ML took control of the situation, which was fair, but the dream manipulation felt manipulative too. I would've preferred if he sought understanding earlier, rather than relying on a dream revelation.

Overall, the initial writing felt amateurish, and it wasn't until later chapters that the concept started to make sense. While the friendship dynamics improved, I still didn't connect with them much. The original FL's development and eventual connection with two MLs was intriguing.

The dream sequence did pick up the pace, but I need to reach a point where MC isn't constantly fearful and guilty before giving a fair rating. Her conflicting statements grated on my nerves.

Until then, I'll hold off on a rating because I'm still in an angry state. I hope for a more balanced portrayal of MC in the future.

Bro, I really enjoy how the storyline takes such a dramatic turn, it's hilarious! The main plot is unique, with an apocalypse happening immediately after completing her system-assigned task. Little did she know she'd have to use all her intelligence to prepare for the disaster herself. Haha, so far, it's great, and I'm looking forward to where it goes.

It's frustrating how the FL often turns into a helpless damsel when around the ML, losing both her intelligence and composure, relying on him to rescue her. Frankly, her incompetence seemed to start way back at the beginning of the story.

I enjoy the ML's character; he fits the typical image of a Chinese CEO. There were a few chapters that stood out, particularly when the ML became distraught over the FL's disappearance or his attempts to communicate with her through dreams. However, overall, the novel fails to impress me. It lacks any significant conflict involving armies, police, or government intervention. As for the FL, I find her communication lacking and unsatisfactory, often leaving room for misunderstandings. While others might appreciate it, personally, this isn't the type of story I enjoy. I'm sorry, but my rating would be two stars.
