Life After the Blood Plague

Well, the book is excellent, very well written, and the characters are very well portrayed. That's why I felt so bad about Aiger's betrayal. I can't even finish these last few chapters because I've put myself in Aiger's shoes. When Lily interrupted and rejected Aiger's proposal twice in chapter 112, I almost gave up reading on it – it was too painful.

Honestly, the books on Qidian are getting worse and worse. There are all sorts of absurd titles, or a protagonist in a Japanese manga world with a Chinese-style name that just feels jarring. Or the protagonist swears constantly and says things that are inappropriate for their character. There are just so many problems...

After the argument, it becomes meaningless. The powerful protagonist gives the team dignity, but the team keeps denying him. Logically speaking, a protagonist with this kind of setup should be at the center of the crowd. The team is a strategist and a sharpshooter. The two female supporting characters, Lily and Avira, are simply extremely toxic.

Chapter 161 was somewhat disgusting. The author's writing was actually quite good, but the character development felt a bit contrived, and the internal conflicts felt somewhat forced. It's not that it's inherently bad, but too much contrivedness feels coercive, which easily evokes resentment, especially when the reader's values ​​clash with the author's.

After observation, the protagonist is a 10-year-old black boy who is underdeveloped. Imagine a black boy who shouts "MAX materialism" and secretly goes to someone else's underground warehouse to buy something for free and then shoots his owner. You'll know what kind of apocalyptic survival this is.

"Survivor of the Blood Plague" is a misnomer; it should be "Cowardly Blood Plague Victim." He gets stabbed twice, doesn't think of fighting back, just feels wronged and cries. Then he remembers his physical age, forgetting he's a time traveler. Whether to kill or kick, he's already backstabbed twice, are you still keeping him around for the holidays? Are you a bootlicker?

It's incredibly realistic, almost a 1:1 scale (except for the data). As someone who enjoys sci-fi, I really liked it. The overpowered abilities weren't exaggerated to the point of turning it into a wish-fulfillment story. Each character also has their own unique aura and personality. However, the real consequence is that the plot drags on, which is actually quite normal.

Not so good. The main problem is the protagonist, Lily, and those guys whose names start with "Ai." Aside from the instructor, the protagonist gives me the impression of being inherently servile. He thinks helping the Godfather is a matter of obligation, as he's supposed to repay a life-saving debt.

Having read so many books over the years, this is the first time I've come across a book that truly captures the mindset of the American left. The books I've read before described the psychological activities of foreigners in the same way as Chinese people, or presented them as imagined foreigners. This book's description of the behavior of the left makes me think that the author understands the left very well.

Backstabbing is so painful. I'm so angry I want to shoot Lily, that stupid and naive leftist, and that other useless woman who likes to label others. I bet five cents that the main character will leave this team. We're not on the same page.
