The final detail about Jiang Fei ordering all those supplies to be delivered at exactly 9 PM is smart but also puts a target on her back. Anyone watching the warehouse could figure out she's stockpiling something valuable. The hardware store boss is already suspicious. I'm worried that before the apocalypse even starts, she might have to deal with thieves or worse. But considering her past life experience, I think she's prepared for that too. The dinner knife in her pocket and her willingness to kill suggests she won't go down without a fight.
Ji Yu is seriously entertaining as a protagonist. He’s self-centered, hungry all the time, and has zero filter—but he also sticks to his word. The bit where he negotiates with Ouyang about biting her in exchange for killing the thugs had me grinning. He treats everything like a transaction, yet there’s a weird charm to his honesty. Definitely not your typical hero.
Xie Ling gives me chills, honestly. The way he's described—cold as a snow-capped peak, the sound of jade clinking, the calm demeanor while people are being killed—it's like he's not even human. I'm both terrified and fascinated by him. The detail about him holding a vermillion brush and casually striking names off a death register? That's the kind of villain energy I live for.
One minor thing that bothers me: the way Tang Weiyu just pops up at the door feels a little too convenient. It’s a common trope but could have been given more justification, like “she was in the neighborhood” or something. Still, not a dealbreaker.
