The Corpse Plague of 2026

I originally planned to finish reading the book before writing a review, but what's with this sudden appearance of a "Dark Humanity Shield"? Please, at least let's adopt some material determinism. Human nature-based theories are really too lowbrow. And if we're really going to be pessimistic, the worst-case scenario is that population and population density collapse to the point where social production can no longer be effectively organized. In that case, priority should be given to collecting data on agriculture, handicrafts, and medicine to ensure feasible risk management and long-term sustainability. What's the point of telling me to study a bunch of fantasy literature and depict the darkness of human nature there? (;´ヮ`)7

Keep it up, big brother who writes apocalyptic novels! It's so rare to find a pure apocalyptic novel without any messy stuff 😭. I hope there aren't any crystal core abilities or anything like that, but things like genetic mutations and physical aspects are reasonable. You can take some inspiration from apocalyptic works like Resident Evil.

I see the red-eyed zombie stats are still ridiculously high. What happens without superpowers? Will plants and animals mutate? Without exaggerated or bizarre stats, it probably won't make much difference to wealthy players or organizations, right? What about a doomsday fortress or military base? How do you describe the source of the mutation? Is there a chance of mutation even with a cold later on?

Could those insects carry viruses? Whether in the city or the countryside, it's unavoidable to get bitten by insects. And in residential areas, given the weather in October and November, it will become unbearably smelly in less than a month.

I believe that even the strongest, most powerful zombies, capable of running and running, cannot withstand the heavy firepower of the military after humans organize and "farm" their communities. Without intelligence, they lack the resources to remain at the top of the food chain. To break the food chain, we need to enhance the intelligence of zombies—currently, perhaps to the level of border collies or dolphins—to at least foster a spirit of cooperation. Then, some zombies possess normal human intelligence, but they are few in number and not organized. While we can control zombies, we cannot organize large-scale zombie production. Therefore, we can only utilize existing human civilization and cannot develop a true civilization. In this macro-narrative, humanity achieves a Pyrrhic victory, and the military can be weakened under these circumstances; otherwise, this would be a major plot hole.

I cast 6 votes, along with a piece of wasteland-themed armor I recently saw.

This writing style is quite novel for the current zombie apocalypse genre. Keep it up!

The medical descriptions are clearly very professional. 😳

The writing is good, the scene descriptions are well done, and there are currently no major flaws in the book (which is very important for a new book). The dialogue is rather average, the pacing is slow and uneventful, and there aren't any particularly exciting moments yet. The main zombie outbreak plot hasn't materialized yet. It's suitable for reading when you're looking for something to read and to see how the main story unfolds.

Traditional post-apocalyptic story, no system. Interested readers can add it to their favorites. There are drafts available, ensuring stable updates. Read with confidence and feel free to leave feedback!
