The Zombie Seeks the Dao

This isn't about zombies seeking enlightenment; it's about a human cultivator in a zombie body, following a completely human path. The zombie draws his own talismans—what are Dao talismans? How are they made? Cinnabar talismans are supposed to counter zombies, so how does he draw them? He even uses lightning talismans to fight zombies—what an awesome setup!

This book is really good; it's the king of zombie books.

The first novel I read with zombies as the main characters was ten years ago. Back then, I didn't even know about Qidian.com. (I think I had read Chen Dong's *The World of Immortality* and *A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality*, and the first hundred or so chapters of *Against the Gods*...) The first dozen or so chapters of this book were absolutely breathtaking.

This was the first zombie novel I ever read; I'm leaving this post as a memento.

I just don't understand. Those people in the comments section who criticize the protagonist's zombie form for not being able to use talismans just want to know why they can't use them since they're all fictional. Besides, it's a 12-year-old book; are you expecting anything more novel in terms of plot? All this criticism—you were probably doing this when the author was making money back then.

If I had read this a few years ago, it would have been considered a fast-paced, enjoyable read. Now, the plot feels too intense, almost suffocating. The protagonist is constantly being chased, and even while escaping, he encounters danger, making it somewhat unpleasant to watch. The fact that the zombie learns to draw talismans is also a major flaw, though many disagree.

I'm currently reading a zombie novel, and it reminded me of the first zombie novel I ever read. It brought back so many memories. 🙂

This book was quite good at the beginning, but it got bad around chapter 40. The author kept having the protagonist face powerful enemies one after another, only to survive and escape. The cultivation system also felt off; the protagonist isn't human, and zombies have cells? It's clearly plagiarized from another book with a cellular cultivation system, making it uninteresting to continue reading.

This was probably the first zombie novel I ever read. I had just started reading online novels at the time, and I was immediately blown away; I thought it was incredibly good. Later, I read a lot of zombie novels, but none of them felt as good as this one. I've been reading online novels for six or seven years now, but they still leave a deep impression.

This zombie novel is really great! 👍👍👍 It would be even better with a female lead.
