Genre: Post-apocalyptic + Shop Opening + System 1. Extremely good! The female lead isn't a saint, which is the biggest feature of this book. Also, the author's transitions between characters don't feel abrupt. 2. Every time the female lead arrives at a base, other characters get screen time, which I really like. This book can't possibly focus entirely on the female lead! Occasionally, other characters are shown, which I appreciate; it prevents the story from getting boring. 3. And, my absolute favorite thing is that all the annoying characters in the book get their comeuppance. 4. There's a villainous couple in the book; although they're annoying, they have virtually no impact on the female lead. 5. I'm speechless at those comments calling him a "domineering CEO" or a "greasy domineering CEO." That Zhou guy is just a bit powerful, but to call him a "domineering CEO" is ridiculous. Those commenters must be out of their minds. If you're not smart, go get treatment. Don't spread rumors. He didn't say anything like "Heh, interesting." Even if he's interested in the female lead, is that even possible? Our boss, Mr. Jiang, is solely focused on running the supermarket; he has no time for romance. Please don't deliberately smear him. As for that Zhou guy, isn't it only natural that he'd be interested in him? So what if someone as outstanding as Mr. Jiang is interested in someone? It just shows how excellent and charming he is. 6. Overall, it's a very good watch; I highly recommend you see it.
