    I think, the weird aspect of the Novel is that basically, What the author was trying to build was left behind by him, there are so many characters with so much past, that he could have build upon honestly but I like it alot like that, it was better to watch the Expansive World building and World breakers. Then I would have done to read repetitive story, it was one ride after another.

    The beginning was good and drew me in, the story was interesting and developing nicely in a dark way. There was sufficiently relatable character development and the world building was intriguing. Then the content became more and more gruesome and repetitive. Halfway through the TL was getting outrageously worse so much so that I felt even the actual human translators had given up on it and gen1 translation software took over. The last fifth of the novel became arguably -in my personal opinion- stretched out contrieved drivel and the ending was way out of line. So much so that it requires an "Afterword" of the author to "explain" what apparently couldn't be transported in a stretched out 800 chapters novel. There are some people who seem to like it, I found it very difficult to finish. If I only read the first half of the book I would have rated it 4+ stars, but after finishing I think 2.5 stars is appropriate.

        To say it in a simple way, THe MC's suffering is just invalidated yet again, ending is confusing, The romance is even more f*ck*d up and overall just leaves a bad taste in ur mouth.

        Mc suffering is not invalidated. The Author literally mentioned, the purpose of him writing the Novel this way, just check the author afterwords without making any assumptions!!

    Ngl, This Novel is easily top ten. Unfortunately, the translation is bad, Wish someone just translate it with Chatgtp Or something and post it here. But anyway, if you have enough of Novel's with protagonist with good and easy lives. This is your cup of tea.

        The onset of betrayal was just too sudden. And, somehow, all his subordinates somehow got forced to betray him or betrayed him. And, the fate of Aisha was also too forced. The enemies escaped luckily. MC couldn't find solution to zombie virus. She luckily found the virus cure but was captured by villians when MC couldn't even find her.

        His friends and allies betrayal has been hinted in the last 30 or so chapters and it was to be expected since he became a god and they were afraid of him, also he can cure aisha anytime he wants but he doesnt cuz she wants to kill him because of what he became in the end and she blames herself for that... villains survived because Dean didnt care to kill her since he is, once again, a GOD. If you havent read the afterword that author uploaded you should read it he answers a lot of stuff there like-Spoiler- the story would have always had a sad ending, it was the natural outcome

        I have read the afterword and know the hintings in last chapter. But all these things were abrupt. And, the revival and such kind of feels off to me. And, about sad ending being fixed since the start, I don't think a story should be bound by the initial plan. It's necessary to have proper plan from the start but author should consider if the ending needs to be modified. They shouldn't modify it casually but as autjor write it, the characters sort of come alive. They are puppet to the plot but sometimes, they should be autonomous enough to change the plot. The author may have planned particular ending but the decision for that may be out of character to mc or other characters.

        You got a point there but I still think the story was a masterpiece, i love it cuz sad endings are my absolute favorite be and they are more of a natural or a real ending to a story such as this, but hey man i respect ur opinion and I hope u live a blessed life

    A fine summarization of this Novel is basically, : There is ray of light in endless darkness, first it shone brightly but as it moved, it got dimmer and dimmer until it extinguished then "it" found another ray of light but it was swallowed by darkness, "it" Tried countless thing's to bring that lay of light, at the end "it" Succeeded, but it was betrayed by that lay of light because "it" Had already assimilated with the darkness by the time "it" Succeeded.
