Apocalypse: Farm or Be Devoured!

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

In the seventh year after transmigrating to the ancient times, Xia Chen’s golden finger finally awakened. Excitement overwhelmed him, rendering him incoherent: “System, sob, sob, sob, I’ve waited for you for so long! Am I going to become a winner in life now?!”

System: [Integrating resources, initiating career planning. According to the compatibility priority, the host’s ultimate career title is Divine Farmer of the Era.]

Xia Chen: “…What the heck?!”

System: [The system space has been activated. The host is expected to work hard at farming and reach the peak of life as soon as possible.]

Xia Chen looked at the palm-sized plot of land beneath his feet and wailed in despair: “No! I won’t farm, I’d rather die than farm! I want to take the imperial examination and become a noble official!”

Ten years later, after dedicating himself to his studies, Xia Chen passed the provincial examination. However, on the way to take the imperial examination, the apocalypse arrived, and zombies roamed everywhere. Huddled in the system space, he trembled and pleaded: “System, come out. I’ll come back and farm…”

Transmigrated Shou x Reborn Gong

Reading Guide:

1. Not a typical farming story, set in a zombie apocalypse with some creative liberties.

2. Farming in the early stages, apocalypse in the middle and later stages; slow-burn paced.

3. The golden finger is extremely overpowered.

I picked up this novel because it had some of my favorite tags but it turned out to be a frustrating waste of time. The pacing is painfully slow, with entire chapters dragging on without any real development. What should have been an exciting and emotionally rich BL survival story felt tedious, repetitive, and overly focused on trivial matters.

The family dynamic, is also uncomfortable and irritating. The parents are weirdly jealous of each other whenever the MC praises one of them, making their relationship feel more like a petty rivalry... more>> than a loving partnership. To make things worse, the eldest child is treated unfairly while the youngest is blatantly favored. It’s far from the harmonious family I was expecting it would. <<less

Well, the description isn't wrong. The golden fingers were extremely op and plentiful that hardly anything really felt like it came from the MC's own merit. In the beginning there was at least a bit of struggle and effort into writing the familial dynamics but after a while all the progress was glossed over and it all felt uninteresting. The relationship between the MC and ML was also pretty lackluster.

it's okay? The beginning was quite longggg because of his system and space's rules. MC is sometimes so naive and slow it makes me want to bang my head. He is also the kind of a stubborn person who won't stop unless he hits a wall (then still impulsively blames and scolds the system who has advised him several times). I kinda stopped reading because I can't stand the way the second cp is portrayed.
Spoiler

the author wrote the general as a "s*umbag" but then seemed to get carried away. What does "Fu Zhan did not seek reconciliation because he knew that he was not qualified and could not give him a future, so he did not say anything" even mean, which of your three views think Fu Zhan wronged Wang Chen? If anything, it's Wang Chen who didn't deserve Fu Zhan. Fu Zhan did everything he could, was already on their way to elope, but then Wang Chen turned his back on him. How could you say Fu Zhan isn't qualified? He bore all the brunt (and bad reputations) by himself while Wang Chen just. F*cked off with the wind, became a monk and left the secular world lol I can't. Like, why are you calling Fu Zhan a s*umbag? He wasn't the one who got cold feet because he thought his lover would be better off with the woman the family chose. That was all Wang Chen. Fu Zhan was ready to commit an unfilial act by going against his family.

[collapse]
May General Fu Zhan fall for someone new (preferably a man ffff) who will always meet him halfway. P.s. I'm glad there are quite a lot of jj readers who were "???" with Wang Chen too lol

No wonder there are 43 extras.

This isn't slow, it's just poorly planned and dragged out to the extreme, scenes repeat endlessly, completely unimportant side-plots are used to stretch the wordcount while the main plot hasn't even started yet.

Characters are flat and so nondescript, that you don't know who is talking/acting if their name isn't stated.

... more>> MC is one of the blandest ones I've seen in a novel, there's nothing interesting about him, he seems more like side-character No. X than the protagonist.

This could have been a really good story but the execution and obvious wordcount inflation makes it unreadable.

I wish I would have read the Chinese reviews sooner, when people comment that the extras are better than the main novel, then there's no point in wasting time on it. <<less

Hmmm... The pacing is slow. Very slow. Chapters are mostly narration or MC talking to himself/system, which is both boring.

I started reading this coz I like the farming, transmigration and apocalypse setting.

I hope it gets better.

Some parts are too dragging while some parts are too hasty.

I also didn't like the ML. The MC is too humane for me (too hypocrite).

Except for the plot (I like zombie/fantasy setting) & bec. I'm bored, and it's hard to find good reads now, I wouldn't have read this far. But the MC & ML are too unlikable to me.
