lullalili 's review for:

Judgment Day by Shisi
5.0

I am sobbing crying, shitting, vomiting, shaking, giving birth rn. I waited literally an entire 2 YEARS (yes you heard me right. Years) for the official translation of this to come out so I could support the author and translation team instead of reading the fan-translations as I usually do with Chinese novels.

The. Wait. Was. SO. Worth. It.

This story literally hit everything perfect for me….amazing sci fi post-apocalypse world, super slow-burn romance, hella good character development, and so many philosophical lines that I’m half tempted to shelf this as philosophy (LOL).

I would die for An Zhe, that’s all I’m saying. He’s just a little mushroom. The sweetest little mushroom ever. (God maybe I want to get a mushroom tattoo now…) (EDIT: I got a mushroom tattoo. Not purely because of this book though LOL!)

Was mentally preparing for a sad ending, I am glad to say that this has a happy ending.

Just some advice though, don’t get attached to anyone if you want to save yourself the heartbreak. Not even the MC and ML…if I were you. :)

EDIT: on a side note, I’m SO happy that how An Zhe views death isn’t “kill everyone bc fuck the universe” but also isn’t a pure damsel in distress sweet summer child: “omg no!! You can’t be killing people it’s bad!!!” Like how most MCs in the post-apocalypse act in romance-themed novels. The author managed to find an ACTUAL MIDDLE GROUND that fits realistically into the post-apocalyptic world and I wish that more western writers could do this as well with MCs
