Synopsis
It was just a normal morning but it was unknown to many that the apocalypse already started.
The origin was not determined but the infected started to appear after a cosmic event happened just outside of the Earth’s atmosphere.
The people and animals turned into man-eating mutants and zombies while some of the lucky ones gained superhuman abilities. Every living creature that had not "turned" started to evolve as the whole world was affected by the Mutagen.
However, it seemed that Earth also had its hidden side that humans would discover in a very uncanny way.
And was Mutagen the last of it?
Unfortunately, not.
Follow Mark, an Otaku, a Gamer, and a Shut-in that got trapped in the middle of the apocalypse due to an uncanny reason. Using his unconventional thinking, knowledge, and abilities, how far can he go in surviving the apocalypse filled with zombies, mutated beings, and dangerous people as a survivor in a world that was changing for the worse.

Things why this novel is at top of my apocalypse genre novel list. 1. The world background is really detailed and logically explained, the name mutagen really is well suited. 2. Anti-hero Protagonist who only helps people when he wants something out of it, it's convenient or just plain easy for him. 3. Updates every day with a new chapter. 4. The type of evolution that the zombies and mutants follow is very unique and has a good variety to them. 5. The MC makes rational decisions. And always tries to see a way to benefit himself or his team. 6. Loved the power which the MC possesses in the apocalypse, never seen it before in apocalypse novel. Overall it's an amazing apocalypse novel and it will be a great experience for all. It just has some Gore and scenes of mature content so read at your own discretion. Author really impressed with the novel, the quality of the chapters, and the one chapter per day update is really appreciated. Thanks for writing this novel and keep up the great work, i appreciate it. 😁👍
Hello everyone, Author here. This would be my first time to actually write a something so I want to thank those who wanted to read and those who had already gone through the current chapters. I'm not shameless enough to give my own writing a 5 star rating but I of course it still being a bit shameless giving this rating. Well, it's my own written story after all. As a newbie author I know that there is a lot that I needed to improve at but I guarantee that my concept in creating the whole background of the story to be quite interesting. Anyways, I would appreciate if you guys leave reviews or even criticize me for errors on my writing and things I needed to improve on. Again, thank you and have a nice read.
Fellows readers should give this novel a try up to 50 chapters and decide on your own if this is worth your time. Don't let other reviews stop you from reading. Remember, each of us have their own preference. Just because low ratings from others doesn't mean you have the same taste as him. Anyways for my review, we have the MC which you'll find frustrating from the start. It was explained at later chapters as to why he acts like that. As for side characters, side kicks and mobs in ** Arc that you think will be forgotten, no they will not. Besides it was also explained as to why the MC can battle like that. The pacing of story is also good. Thumbs up for that. But it lacks hype. What do we want in apocalypse novel? It's thrill and hype that can make our heart badump badump. LOL 🤣🤣 Need more scenes that would make our emotions in roller coller since it's dark days of humanity.
This story is nearly below average in everything. The grammar is abysmal, the characters aren't fleshed out ( but theirs only 25 as im currently writing this review, so it may change), and everything else seems *******ish. And listen guy, it's okay if you want to include dark themes like r@pe into your story but it has to make sense. Why after only 30 minutes of an apocalypse is rape already happening? Literally everyone would be trying to procure a safe haven and some supplies, nobody would even have the feckin time. The character interactions are cringy and the MC is already acting like an edge boi. Slow your roll man, take a deep breath and replan your story.
The novel did have evrything to have a great plot, but the Author decides to go with the Harem route, evry time the MC safes someone realy important (fighting capabilities/important background or some super Power) you guess it.... it's a Girl/Women or even a loli, i don't even care over the deus ex machina to Safe the MC or his friends evry time **** hits the fan, but the first time the Author went full deus ex cause the MC was done for, it was mostly done so he could add another women to his harem, so if you like a novel like that enjoy....
- Harem - Deus Ex Machina to get one more Harem member...wrote a longer review but it got deleted... - MC thinks he is not a hero but safes evry damsel in distress...endangers his life for people he knew for 5 or 10 minutes
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.

I really like this book although there are some flaws. I've seen previous reviews and critiques on how the book should go. Unfortunately, by my opinion - The Author/Translator has the final say. It is his novel. Im a fan. Although it took some chapters to get into it. By when it hit, "IT HITS". Keep doing what you're doing and please upload more asap. Like all books, "GOOD BOOKS" - It gets more interesting as the pages unfold. Of course you're gonna have a hard time at first. Just read the summary if you're the type only want action now. LOL Hulk came to mind when I wrote "ACTION NOW"!!! But yeh, the more in depth the book is, the more satisfying the read. If people are gonna complain that it should be a certain way, ask them to have you proof-read their novels. ***Spoiler Alert - THEY PROBABLY DONT WRITE OR HAVE A CREATIVE IMAGINATION TO WRITE, 🤣🤣🤣. But yeh, awesome book, but i need to know more - so upload, upload, upload. If you're able, I seen that you were ill and that caused a delay. Thank you

I don’t recommend this novel. I dropped it becuz there are so many cliches. This novel has repeated reviews from the same people so the rating is high but it sucks. The MC has an obvious hero complex and there are so many annoying characters. Almost everybody we r introduced to in the first 15 chapters r deadweight. The character Ange is the single most annoying character in the entire novel so far. And Xiao Mei’s backstory is similar to that of a white lotus. This story has some inadequacies. Things don’t just add up and the stuff that does happen doesn’t make any logical sense. ALL IN ALL DONT READ.

Contains r*pe, what else one could say i think some author doesn't understand some things are uncomfortable to read especially things like this and don't even try to justify this saying *it's the truth of world*. Even if it is most people read novels and fanfics to pass the stress and boredom after a hectic day while these things makes it traumatizing and futher disturb the readers. If someone says i am being overdramatic then there's something wrong with your mindset.
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.
I have read nearly 700 ch of this novel and all i can say is this novel is one of the best if not the best novel out there. -the characters and the world background are properly fleshed out, you can tell that the author has done some really good research on locations, folklore and co. -mc has no harem, he only has his wife and adopted children -really refreshing and diverse abilities which follow a logical consistency for all characters -mc is coolheaded, doesn´t save everybody, he calculates the danger his actions mean for his companions and he screens ( with his ability) the savee if they are worth it to be saved or he gets paid for it -mc believes in equal exchange ( doesnt do shit for free) -he strengthens his family so they can protect themselves ( massiv plus point) -writing quality is good better than 90% of the other novels out there, there are still some grammatical and spelling errors. The author uses his and her right (balsam for my poor soul) -and the most important of all : IT IS NOT REPETITIVE give it a try its a really good and sometimes funny read sry for the engrish, its not my first language ( same for author)
The story is a bit slow and the MC is your average apocalypse junkie like you most likely he has a decent backstory overall the key difference between most story's like this recently is there is no real "game elements" and the MC has a heart problem overall story is good but slow the chapters are also small but it's a good story Luv you author for your first story it's great

There are like 20 reviews from two people giving this 5 stars and I have to put my foot down. I’ve read up to chapter 18 and I want to blow my brains out. Wanna know why? It’s not lacking chapters. It’s not the decent grammar or the general narrative style. It’s the overuse of clichés, emphasis of “plans,” and useless characters. Also, the dreadful POV shifts. For clichés, we got MC Mark, a “badass” anti-hero/hero mix. We got a random mother and daughter burden for escort. Then there’s the strong and uncooperative love interest with her friend. Oh, and I almost forgot! There’s the unnamed male employee as the servant. Some bus is in an accident and then zombies come out from it. It’s the apocalypse and somehow, the zombies have hacks that allow them to bypass crowds and kill any good guy with a gun. No police or guards! No phone service, so you can’t call for help! That means everyone is getting slaughtered! MC steps in to lead everyone to safety! Oh no! Someone needs help, so he goes to save them with his badass one-handed shotgunning skills! He got it from a zombie guard that happened to attack him! But he can’t just save them without showing how all other guys are trash! A mom gets grabbed by dying man! How she is still alive when running from zombies with her daughter? Who cares! Love interest shows she can fight, but MC saves her because he must be better! Oh? A rich fatty goes crazy and holds everyone hostage in his base? He locks out MC and kills someone with a gun? Guess it’s detour time for MC to go save them because they’re helpless without him! No need to try and reason with the fatty. Don’t worry! It’s all according to “plan!” MC loots a place and makes the path secure. Oh, a detour to the detour? Oh, it’s time to save a new love interest? Oh, we have to get the hero a heroic entrance instead of assassinating the gangsters. We’ll have the MC talk to the Boss as he r*pes the girl because this is the “plan!” What!? The Boss has a gun? No worries! MC knew and wanted to make sure by talking to the gangsters! He just wanted to get a better shot. What? He only shot off the Boss’s arm and kicked a gangster’s balls? What “plan” is this? How will he survive now? Oh? It was instant KO? As expected of MC, the other gangsters run away since they luckily don’t have guns. Now the MC is the hero. Let’s have TWO chapters of FLASHBACKS to show this pampered and beautiful love interest having a hard time with her family, friends, and fiancé. Don’t worry! Literally disarming the Boss was part of the plan! He’s bleeding out, but don’t worry! MC must have a moment with his love interest! Oh, the Boss died? Time for a new “plan!” The fleeing gangsters attracted the zombies away? As expected of the “plan!” They never could have lured them back! Even if they did, MC had “plans” for it! Ignore that his people had to kill zombies attracted by his gunshot! Hey, that mom can come over here and clean up the love interest. That gangster Boss r*ped her all over just by himself! She’s coated in his slimy seed! Great! We’re ready to move on! Ignore how the daughter keeps up. Man-servant has been carrying the injured mother the whole time! Do you understand how tedious and discomforting that is? It’s a droll format. It relies on cliché encounters to build up a harem team because the author doesn’t want to have MC alone. We go back and forth between characters only so the MC is no longer the focus of the story. It’s fractured but whole, like a fractured butt hole. Incomplete, but complete; empty, but full.
