1 I'm really invested in the mystery of the previous workers. Why did they leave in such a hurry? The guy said he went fishing and came back to find everyone gone. That's sketchy. Either they abandoned him intentionally, or something forced them to leave.
20. Lucia’s physical strength despite being powerless is a nice touch. She thinks she can take on Xia Li without a sword. The line about her “absolute confidence in her physique” hints that there’s more to her than meets the eye. Maybe the dragon side isn’t completely gone.
The grandfather's backstory is a bit tragic: he rose via military merit, sold his territory to live lavishly, and couldn't read so he never got the breathing technique. It shows how class mobility in this world is real but fragile. One generation can blow it all. Karl's current situation is a direct result of his family's financial mismanagement. That makes his pursuit of the breathing technique feel like he's trying to break the cycle.
Okay, I have to admit, the opening hook got me. The whole "transmigrated into a zombie apocalypse world but the zombies are the hopping kind from Hong Kong movies" is such a unique twist. I was already invested the second I read "B-rank incident" and "Flying Zombie". It immediately sets this tone that's both serious and a little bit campy, which I'm totally here for. The worldbuilding with the Sequence Awakening is a classic system, but the setting feels fresh enough because of the specific zombie type. I was genuinely curious about how the Taoist sequence would work in this world, and I was not disappointed when Xu Yi stuck to his guns and chose it over the Fire Attribute. That took some guts, man.
The description of Lan Xin as “timid and shy, trembling” was effective but a bit routine. It’s the stereotypical “orphan princess” mode. I wish the author gave her a slightly unique trait, like being fascinated by flowers or having a habit of humming when nervous. Something to differentiate her from every other sad child in Qiong Yao land. The potential is there—she seems smart for her age—but the narrative hasn’t focused on her personality yet. Her direct decision to call Lin Xiaoxiao “grandmother” was touching, but the crying felt a bit rushed. I hope later chapters develop her distinct voice. Maybe she has a hidden talent or sharp observation. The story would benefit from strong side characters, and Lan Xin could become an excellent foil to Lin Xiaoxiao’s modern bluntness. Right now, she’s mostly cute and sad—a canvas for sympathy rather than an active agent.
The pacing of the attack is excellent. It starts with distant galloping, then the bandits close the gate, kill a man, and start herding people. Each step escalates logically. The author knows when to linger on details (the blood) and when to move quickly.
I feel bad for Manager Wang. He's clearly stressed about the funeral home losing business because of the ghost rumors, and then he finds out his night watchman (who is a tiny girl) spent the night fighting ghosts and carrying corpses back. The look on his face must have been priceless. But he's smart enough to hire her full time. You can't argue with results.
