Synopsis

Sui Qi transmigrates into an interstellar world as a vicious, lovesick woman with a terrible reputation and five million in debt.

She’s about to take part in a 21-day survival challenge in the apocalypse. If she succeeds, she’ll win ten million interstellar coins, enough to pay off her debt and live out the rest of her life doing nothing.

The problem is, no one will team up with her, and the game can’t start without four players.

But every player gives her a wide berth, so Sui Qi decides to rely on herself and successfully forms a team with three other unwanted players.

A cool, anemic guy who faints whenever he gets hungry, a gloomy boy with prosthetic limbs, and a nine-year-old little girl who’s still losing her baby teeth.

Netizens call it a lost cause and wait for the useless squad to get eliminated.

But somehow, they turn out to be the most capable ones.

The anemic cool guy takes on three enemies at once!

The boy with prosthetic limbs hacks people down without blinking!

The nine-year-old girl turns out to be the strongest fighter of all!

And Sui Qi, whom everyone thinks is a vicious, lovesick woman, is actually a survival expert!

The whole useless squad goes on a killing spree. They take on anyone who crosses them and launch indiscriminate attacks on every player they run into.

Even Lian Jue, the game god admired by all the players, falls victim to their brutality.

The useless squad beats every player in the game and, when they get bored, gathers every night to play a picking game where whoever gets chosen dies.

Netizens cry out, “What happened to the useless squad? Why are they all so ruthless?!”

Players break down: “Wasn’t this a survival game? When did it turn into a death game?!”

In the end, all the players pool ten million and offer it up with both hands, begging Sui Qi to show mercy.

Sui Qi takes the money and says coolly, “Ceasefire for today. We’ll continue tomorrow.”

All the players collapse in unison: “She really is vicious!”

I love this kind of ensemble piece! Everyone is unique, with distinct personalities and no mindless characters! Please, no more fanfiction about Shen Zuo! Isn't a deeply moving brotherly love story good enough? 😭😭 The synopsis didn't even warn me about the two male supporting couples! I only realized it when I read the latest chapter—it felt like the sky had fallen! The author is completely unresponsive; they're forcing me to ship them...

The theme is very fresh, and the team camaraderie is great. I highly recommend checking it out! The girl is incredibly cute, and the female lead is super strong and cool. You have to watch our Sister Sui! The female lead has a rich emotional life and lots of mischievous tricks. Her motto is "Nobody can mess with me!" The four teammates are very united.

So good! I love ensemble stories! The main characters' team is strong but not saintly; they save those who need saving and strike hard against the bad guys! The male lead is also great; his relationship with the female lead is a strong yet innocent love-hate relationship, full of cooperation and challenges—it's fantastic! I hope the author updates more often!

It's really good! The team's interactions are so heartwarming!! I just wish there weren't any romantic pairings within the team 😂 I'm happy to ship them myself, but I'm more inclined towards a friendship-oriented relationship. Of course, it's not a problem if the female lead has a romantic partner 😳

Ignore those people. The author is just writing according to their own ideas. If there's a couple, so be it. It's not like nobody likes stories with couples. I like it; I think it's sweet and great. I understand the author. I don't think either the male or female lead is wrong. The female lead is after money, and the male lead was first place last year; being eliminated this year would be embarrassing for him. Keep it up, author!

I hope that those who click in won't leave just because there's no rating. Honestly, it's genuinely good. I rarely write book reviews, but I'm writing this for one purpose only: I hope the author won't stop updating or leave the story unfinished. Author, you write really well. Each character in the book has their own shining points and is very memorable.

The plot is good, though I didn't quite get the romance between the male and female leads, but their friendship is great. Some scenes make the female lead seem very kind. The "evil woman" in the title doesn't really relate to the female lead 😂. If you're looking for something to read, this is worth checking out; the plot is quite interesting.

A really good book! Everyone in the Mad Escape Team is great, Sister Sui is so cool and I love her, and Brother Chen and Brother Shen are such a great couple, and Mei Bao is super cute! The author's writing is excellent, and the characters are very well-developed and three-dimensional. The male lead is... Well, I can't really ship Sister Sui and Lian Jue.

I found it very enjoyable; it highlights both the male and female leads, as well as the team. The plot and storyline were quite good, and the revenge elements were very satisfying. The female lead and the original male and female leads also achieved a peaceful coexistence. Although there were some unpleasant plot points at the beginning, a more balanced state was reached later on.

It's really good, I recommend it, but I'm a little uncomfortable with the male lead 😅, I think he and the female lead have absolutely no chemistry [eye roll]! But a lot of people in the story seem to ship them [what]! Maybe I just don't get it 🤔! The rest of the character development is great 😘! The female lead is also fantastic! 🤔
