Her parents died when she was young and her grandparents swindled her out of the house they owned. Then she was verbally (and potentially physically) ab*sed by the family before leaving after her grandfather said she was the reason her parents died.

When I say his backstory has all the things, I really do mean that. The MC rescues him from death where he was bound by rope by people. At first that makes it seem like he was betrayed by his teammates at the time. Then as the story progresses, we learn that he hates "Dawn Light" which is a special potion that can help prevent people's powers from going beserk. Reason being is that Dawn Light was made from him (we never really learn how, just that it involves torture).

Going back further, he was betrayed by his best friend's girlfriend which had him sent to be a human guinea pig and for his friend to commit su*cide as penance for the girl's actions. Even further back and of course, he's an orphan who had to work hard for everything he gained. That he has never had anyone treat him like he was important.

Creepy Landlord taking pictures of her, stealing her underwear and trying to get her into prostitution. She ends up manipulating the situation so that he goes to jail and she gets to move out.

Then there is her roommate who has been opening the MC's mail and bringing back her boyfriend to their apartment. The MC frightens her before moving out again.

Then her grandfather dies and her uncles try to force her to sign a document to give up her inheritance rights.

The villain was the head of the research facility who wanted to look into sending the zombies to another world (or that he wanted to travel there himself, it's kind of hard to fully tell). Up until that point in the story, there has been no mention that this guy suspected an alternate reality. In fact, it would have made more sense for him to suspect aliens. Especially since the initial zombie virus came from a meteorite.

The villain does get to go to the MC's world but without any powers and in a highly crippled but still alive state. Which is kind of fitting in that he did do what he sought to do but ended up powerless in this new world.

And then the MC and ML begin reality hopping between his world and hers.... and potentially remain in her peaceful non-polluted world for the rest of their lives. It never really tells beyond the ML proposing marriage.

I loved it when she knocked out the ML because she was afraid that he'd get hurt and accomplished a bunch of tasks herself

the author tried to make it obvious how the ML "realized" that the girl was viewing his world like through the lens of a game, but it still felt like there were a ton of logic leaps that he had to make for that conclusion... definitely not convincing enough.

The resolution with the system too was a bit too handwavy... it was okay to take a back seat as the rest of the story was okay.

The reason for Zombie Emperor Fu's actions were also a bit disbelieving - I thought he felt guilt and was trying to be a good guy, creating an unknown alliance with the evil guy and trying to infect another (innocent (world was not explained properly

For example, MC had already told her RL friend that she had a boyfriend, but near the end of the novel, her friend asks the MC if she had a bf acting all surprised.

Quan Quan finding his little master, who then was dead and Quan Quan wants revenge, the storyline stopped suddenly? Or the one with the rice in Tenglong Base, it wasn't described properly, this scheme of the ML and I don't actually get what was happening. A lot of storyline that the author writes seems to be placed together haphazardly.

Also, I like that despite the FL only playing games, she has a character development. It can be seen that the FL is quite soft-hearted in the story and her learning from ML while still having her own initiative to become strong is such game changer. Most of the time they need to be trampled over and over again before standing for themselves, good thing she's changing that.

On the other hand, I'm actually shock when they show some of the ML's back story (when apocalypse started), and how he didn't let him and his own principles be trampled over. I mean him not letting them benefit from him is such a powerful move and this became a good example. Now, I'm more curious of his back story and how he ended up in that situation when FL first saw and save him.

Best example is Fu Hangzhou's chosen path. Actually it was very unexpected when he did that.

when she traps her landlord who had taken pictures of her in her apartment and sold them to people online and been breaking into her apartment and stealing her underwear after smelling them (WTF? uhm). at first, she was worrying about moving out and pricing, and scared of the landlord and what he would do. after deciding to learn from the ML and what he would do, she goes from pushover to setting up cameras, locking up his ass and later on pretending to be a serial killer in her new apartment because her roomate wouldnt respect her boundaries and walked all over her. thats what I mean by dont let it throw you off because it usually always would for me, but she bounces back quick and comes off hard and strong when paying them back. she also got a roomate this time because of her safety after the thing with the landlord, showing shes actively putting in the effort towards herself and her safety.

whenever she logs onto the game, he can sense her and wherever he is, he always smiles and says "you're here." UGH the most heartwarminggggg thing ever.

to me, this is not true. the game would blur out MC's words whenever she mentioned she was from another world, but ML still managed to find out that she saw his world as a game before she even suspected he was real. now, I will say their relationship changed, but only because ML was considerate and was not a bad change, I would call it more development. he learnt that her living situation isnt as good as he thought and that she is quite poor, knowing this, he stressed to her to take care of herself first and he no longer worried when she was logged off. he also tried to find various methods to help her save money instead of spending it on the game, because he knew she was quite poor and didnt want her to exhaust her little savings for him. they worked together to find ways to accomodate eachother, and I think it was really nice seeing their development. when he realised he was a game character to her, his main thought was that he should act like an AI at times because he didnt want to scare her into deleting the app once she realised he was very real.

1: I would have preferred if the ML&FL settled down in ML's world. I grew an attachment to the people there, because they were the characters we saw gain purpose and grow. I was looking forward to seeing her interact with the people she saved and the conversation she would have face to face with the lab guy (forgot his name, the one that ends up with Xi Bei (?)) after trying to save him from the science organisation. I feel like there was a lot of potential with many characters if she stayed in his world, and the relationships she could have built with some of the main side characters that viewed her as a saviour. the ML was always saying we must not forget the true master of their base, and these people had a fierce loyalty to her, yet she could only gently push them with a breeze, let alone have s conversation! I was really looking forward to the friendships that could have happened, but alas, maybe it would have only been possible if she stayed in that world, and that did not happen.

2: I wish there were more scenes of them being, idk the right word, intimate? keep in mind they only visited eachothers world I think twice? throughout the story and only settled down in the last 2-3 chapters. due to this, we saw their affection as a couple, but we barely got any good scenes!! they barely held hands 😭 where is the um. yeah you know what I mean. even if they did a fade to black scene, maybe I would survive. we saw the ML's possession and infaution with her build and him trying to hold it back, but thats it, he holds it back. all this buildup and the story ends with him proposing, we didnt even see her answer!
