Synopsis

Zhu Ning, who was leading the charge against zombies in the apocalypse, transmigrates, this time into a wasteland world.

Eighty percent of this world’s land has been contaminated.

Humanity is divided into five classes. She ends up in the lowest, a fifth-class citizen, which is just another way of saying she’s a defective good-for-nothing.

Penniless and with nothing to her name, Zhu Ning has no choice but to become a cleaner and sweep up garbage.

She’s heard that cleaning up trash in the wasteland is a dream job, with good pay and little work.

But... how is this trash-cleaning job so different from what she expected?

On the vanished Line One, she runs into a fish-man carrying a briefcase, with a fish for a head.

At a trendy hot pot restaurant, the restaurant tries to eat its customers!

In a haunted house, the furniture moves around in the middle of the night and hunts down the owner.

Even the aquarium, which should theoretically be a cozy and healing place, is full of mermen demanding reproduction, bloodsucking mechanical jellyfish, and unknown transparent creatures.

She sticks her hand into a dentist’s office, and suddenly teeth start raining from the sky.

What’s more, the cleaning company seems to be hiding some huge secret.

Artificial intelligence may be the mastermind.

The pharmaceutical company looks downright shady!

Zhu Ning is inexplicably dragged into the conflict. One wrong move could easily cost her life.

In the wasteland world, everyone has eight hundred minds working at once.

Zhu Ning: Is heaven messing with me?

Reader’s guide:

1. A somewhat cyberpunk, instance-based story with connected instance plots. The world has cyberpunk society within the walls and wasteland beyond them. The early story takes place within the walls, and the later story outside them.

2. The contaminated areas have a few horror elements. Mildly scary.

3. The female lead is the strongest!

4. The setting is entirely fictional. Please don’t compare it to real life.

Please add my upcoming story to your collection: I Really Don’t Want to Inherit a Luxury Villa

One day, she suddenly gets a phone call.

A wealthy distant aunt has left her a luxurious villa in her will. She’s the sole heir.

Could anything be better?

She packs her bags that very day and heads to the countryside. Sure enough, it’s a luxurious villa, practically a castle.

It just looks a little creepy.

Poverty is scarier than ghosts. So what if the villa is haunted? Once she moves in, it’ll be a place for the living!

On the first day, blood-red water drips from the bathroom ceiling.

On the second day, a woman sobs inside the walls in the middle of the night.

On the third day, a deathly pale face presses right up against hers.

Damn it, this house is haunted! She’s afraid she’ll die young.

She flees that very night, all the way back to her shabby rental, and finally catches her breath. Then she opens the bathroom door.

She freezes.

The haunted villa has followed her!

She resigns herself to going inside and comes face to face with “their” lists of last wishes.

The creatures here are exceptionally polite, rushing to give her their inheritance.

They’re the universe’s kindest, friendliest neighbors, though they do cause a tiny bit of trouble in her life.

She invites a friend over and says, “Sorry, there are quite a few people in my family, but don’t worry. They’re all easy to get along with.”

Her friend trembles. “... Is it possible, just as a hypothetical, and I might be wrong, so don’t take this too seriously, that you’ve encountered a ghost?!”

Feel-Good Power Fantasies I Like

Novels that I think are really satisfying and fun, at least in the first half. Some aren't as good later on, but if the first half is that satisfying, they're still worth it! Four stars because I can't give them five.

Even the Emperor Would Say These Are Good!

Since five-star ratings aren’t allowed, assume all four-star books are five-star quality, and all three-star books are four-star quality.
