Keeping it short and simple. Slight spoiler at the first point 1. Lets talk about our protagonist(s). To think that the description and the first 10 chapters keep on mentioning that he is a shut-in, and cant be social at all, does not do the novel justice. In no way shape or form, does the novel express how our MC is an Otaku, besides being a “Shut in”; yet they only became a shut-in due to mental illnesses. Thought it was unique and all, Otaku + Apocalypse. A shame. 2. The plural s in the first point. Not a single chapter after the very first few had a dedicated “Otaku” MC alone, ever. Could have simply made the description actually describe who our actual protagonists are, which is better than the false advertising there. The first 2 were just what disappointed me about it, the upcoming 2 were what made me drop it after only 100 chapters. 3. Characters and their development. I cannot begin to stress how these stupidly useless baggages are. They are just there to either A) Anger you or B) Just to fill in the messing anger you would feel towards any character(you can never get attached to anyone at all, not even the MC). Each character that continues to stay with the MC has an average of 2 chapters only for them and how they got to that certain moment. I bet skipping all of the characters’ “fillers” would just make the novel from 300 chapters long to 100 chapters. 4. The Mutagen apocalypse of cliches. You will undoubtedly be able to guess what will happen and when; every chapter where our MC fights will be met with an almost perfectly predictable situation. You will never get a bad plot twist, let alone a good one. What more would you expect from the cliche apocalypse, the amount of cliches it has is absurd. Consider dropping the novel after you reach 50 chapters, the rest is completely predictable even the ending is as well.

DISCLAIMER: I only made it to around chapter 20, the review is based on those chapters. Oh boy. This novel is absolutely horrendous. To start of, writing quality is a dumpster fire, there are tons of plot holes and inconsistencies which you cover up by saying, ‘Mc who has no real life experience and only stayed home watching anime until the story started made a backup plan to the ****ty plan he made in the first place’ for example, him letting the other gangsters run away and *past* the zombies the Mc attracted w/ his gunshot instead of back into the theater. What was the backup plan anyway? Something along the lines of ‘he had a backup plan for that anyway’ just doesn’t cut it. And don’t even get me started on him not destroying his wrist with his shotgun. He shot it ONE HANDED. a SHOTGUN. instead this kid who happened to be the Mc has pinpoint Accuracy and insane logical thinking. Now, the side characters. Ignoring that for some reason they’re all female except the poor shop workout without a name, it feels like even the ‘fleshed out’ ones are just cardboard cutouts. And why did you think TWO chapters of FILLER BACKSTORY would be a good idea? Nobody cares about this character and wasting time isn’t gonna help. And please nobody even say something like ‘hmph, you are simply low iq without patience, the novel gets better you absolute cabbage..’ I don’t care if it gets better, the beginning is what hooks your reader. I’m not wasting more time reading more of this poor excuse for a novel.
