Why Are All the Apocalypse Novel's Protagonists Fixated on Me?

Only after being reborn did Duan Ling learn that he was merely the villain in a harem novel.

The novel follows a cool and aloof protagonist, the bottom, as he meets Top One, Top Two, Top Three, and others while fleeing after the apocalypse. Their perilous and thrilling journey soon plunges them into a tangled love triangle.

Top One is the protagonist's childhood friend. Hot-tempered and unhinged, he has awakened a powerful ability. He's secretly in love with the protagonist but has never dared to confess, earning the readers' nickname “Pure-Hearted Virgin Bro.”

Top Two is a powerful base lord who falls for the protagonist the moment he arrives at the base. He takes the protagonist by force, leaving readers howling with excitement.

Top Three is a doctor who used to work in a research lab before becoming one of Top Two's subordinates. He's gentle and saintly on the surface, but in reality he's a sadistic top who once wanted to dissect and study the protagonist, whose ability can heal.

Duan Ling, meanwhile, is a villain who falls for the protagonist and constantly picks fights with the other tops, recklessly courting death at every turn. He was Top Three's former boss.

To get the protagonist, he was betrayed by Top Three, stabbed in the back by his friend Top Two, and dealt a fatal blow by Top One. He was killed off for good.

All because the protagonist hated him so much that he joined the others in setting a trap to kill him.

After recalling the past, Duan Ling laughed in fury. “Damn it, was I drugged or something? How could I have done so much for that man?”

Especially when he hated me so much that he wanted to kill me.

I'm going to kill the protagonist first, then deal with the rest one by one.

He follows the protagonist, waiting for an opportunity, but the story gradually veers off course.

Top One, who should have been focused on protecting the protagonist, chooses to protect Duan Ling when they both face danger.

Top Two, who should have taken the protagonist by force, uses those same methods on Duan Ling instead.

Top Three, who should have been utterly obsessed with the protagonist, takes an interested look at Duan Ling.

Fed up, Duan Ling decides to take them out one at a time.

“Why did you stop following me?” the protagonist murmurs in his ear. “Have you grown tired of me?”

Duan Ling: “...Are you sick?”

“You're not allowed to be interested in other men. You can only look at me.” The protagonist binds him with a plant ability that shouldn't exist, smiles darkly, then leans down and grips his throat. “Love me, or we'll become zombies together.”

“Choose.”

Duan Ling: “...”

This lunatic!
