The pacing so far is solid. The farewell gives emotional weight, then the immediate shift to modern-day confusion and zombie horror keeps the momentum. Action scenes are spaced with quieter moments like reading messages and preparing gear. The transition from otherworld to apocalypse is smooth. No wasted pages. The chapter breaks feel natural. I never got bored.

The “Daoist chant” that was heard when the mirror awakened was a nice touch of mystery. “Opening the primordial chaos, who is the seed of love?” It gives the system a mythological pedigree. It’s not just a random computer window in his head; it’s an ancient artifact with a rhyme and reason.
