Let me clarify, I'm a fan of academy-style stories, so my standards aren't too stringent. However, this novel does give me a headache. On the positive side, the translation is commendable, and the author showcases excellent skill in portraying characters' thoughts, emotions, and psyche. Dialogue is engaging and full of charm. For fans of action, there are well-detailed fight scenes, and the plot pays off satisfactorily after a lengthy, well-planned arc.
Now, onto the issues. The pacing starts strong, but somewhere along the way, it becomes a problem. The author excels at depicting characters' emotional struggles, but that same talent turns the novel into a draining experience. Long stretches of chapters are filled with sobbing, whining, and crying, which can be exhausting for daily readers. I found myself skipping weeks at a time to avoid the emotional rollercoaster.
The reliance on clichés, like the system and harem tropes, feels forced and poorly executed. The system elements, like the Iron Will skill and god sword, seem overly contrived. The fact that the protagonist, a Duke's son, has access to such extraordinary abilities is unrealistic. As for the harem aspect, it doesn't add any value to the story or character development, especially since the narrative and characters are already engaging without it.
In summary, if you're not a daily reader, you might enjoy this at a 4/5 rating. But for daily readers, it drops to a 2.5/5 due to the pacing and reliance on clichés. Remember, it's okay to feel depressed or struggle, but talking and seeking help is essential. Don't let this novel discourage you from reaching out to those around you for support.
In this story, the protagonist possesses the unique ability to control zombies akin to a necromancer, but instead of relying on Skeletons from a 'Gods and Devils World' (GDW) setting, he embarks on a quest to rescue his childhood sweetheart, a stunning beauty who tragically died while rushing to save him. She has now been transformed into a zombie.
As he encounters her in that state, he utilizes his powers to bring her back, discovering that each time she consumes another zombie's brain, she gains strength. This connection not only strengthens her but also influences the protagonist. Together, they hunt down increasingly powerful zombies, believing that these creatures are merely mindless rather than truly deceased. The novel offers all the familiar tropes of zombie literature, such as villains, parasites, and expendable characters, along with power-ups from their battles. His zombie girlfriend becomes an formidable ally, adding an exciting twist to the narrative.
I guess no chapter today
I'm so late and subconsciously thought we're getting one or two chapter again this time but now I realized that isn't the case so.
FINALLY ?️???????
I too am here waiting for this to end because the updates r a mess so I haven't even started yet
i wish there's a kindhearted reader who can write a more interesting Summary.
It was the case
oh authors! will there be no update after 11 months have passed? *sigh
If you want to maintain your sanity do NOT read this novel. It is a 6/10 on a good day and I will stand by that forever. The mc xiao luo is so arrogant that I can't even describe it in words and don't even get me started on the god awful power scaling towards the end of the novel. His system also becomes pretty much useless 75% into the novel. I'm 10 chapters away from the end but it's so bad I don't think I'll ever finish this.
Still no bi***es
This comment made me feel it was worth it

I know this is a stupid question but is this actually the light novel just uploaded to the website? Or is it a web novel version?
