Synopsis

Bronze WINNER of WPC#322: Male Lead: Zombie Invasion

Takemi Kazuichi might very well be the luckiest and unluckiest person in the world. He was an orphan, and he was severely bullied in school. Because of that, he became a hikikomori, a shut-in. When he turned sixteen, he was adopted by a rich couple who loved him as if he was their own son. Unfortunately, they died in a plane crash, and Kazuichi never overcame his bad habits of being a shut-in, largely because of his preying relatives.

Fast forward to four years later, Takemi Kazuichi still stayed in the house left by his late parents. He never bothered going to work or going out to socialize with people. For the lack of a better term, he was a rich hikikomori. He never even bothered to check the news or log in on any social media. All he did was live his life in solitude, devoid of any human interaction.

One day, as he came out of the shower, he heard a strange thumping sound by the doorway. "That's weird, I didn't order any delivery today." He told himself before absent-mindedly opening the door.

And what stared back didn't resemble a human at all. It was a zombie— or so that's what the first thing that came into Kazuichi's mind. Unbeknownst to him, the world had drastically changed, and he was the last one to know.

    I'm bad at writing reviews so I'll be honest as possible. The story was intriguing and the author has good writing skills. Aside from the minor mistakes the author made, everything is all set! If there's something I don't like, it's the anime cliche like opening the bathroom door while there is a girl inside or the FL with the typical anime girl stereotype.

    THIS BOOK IS SOO COOL. It starts garb you in and so does the plot. It's a unique type, not much to be found. On the other hand, the writing is simple. Is a great story I would recommend all to read it. HOPE IT WINS.

    Awww yeah. I read this story and had a blast with it. This is really good and I usually don't read zombie stuff. The worldbuilding is excellent. description top notch, characters are interesting, and so on. There are some decisions characters make that make me laugh or that I don't agree with at times but that's all in the fun of the story. Best wishes to the author and I hope you also give my stories a peek.

    So I read it, here's my two cents about this book, at first I like how the story was portrayed by first person but it suddenly change to third person that actually mad me lose interest it changes abruptly. I do not relate to the main character so I was not hook, I think, just my suggestion you should consider changing point to point perspective with considerations. The writing quality it good and it was mysterious but some may not find it catching when the mystery is not that something where when you read it you'll be full of questions, In terms of plot and world building, I think it's good to make it more interesting. Remember, that's just my opinion don't take it to the heart. It's better than average just need some work, keep up the good work

    Just let me say one thing in advance your novel is great, from the introduction of the characters to the world-building. The story isn't too fast- or too slow-paced and has a perfect tempo. I will definetly keep reading this story!

    Overall I actually enjoyed parts of the story. I hope this one continues to release new chapters. I wanna see more of how his shut in lifestyle affects his journey through the new apocalyptic world with the zombies.

    Shameless author here reviewing his own work! This is not your typical zombie story as the virus itself doesn't work the way it is usually portrayed in most novels. It still affects the brain, but that doesn't mean it turns the infected into undead. I hope you enjoy this novel about our shut-in. As usual, all your power stones, comments, reviews, and gifts are always welcome! Send them my way and I'll upload even more chapters aside from the regular updates. I assure you that this is worth the read so add it to your collection! hehhe~ This is DaisukiDayoSenpai signing out ^-^

    I read your other novel and it was great so I am expecting this book to be a great story too even though I'm not reading it yet. But don't push yourself too hard and take some rest if you need it. We would rather have a short hiatus rather than a long hiatus because you are sick after all.

    Author-san... You wrote an amazing novel. Why? Because I read somewhere that " A good book makes you want to live in the story. A great book gives you no choice " and it's true you've transported me to the world your mind made!! So cool! THANK YOU🌸❤️

    As someone who added 36k popularity in total,( 5k on Arisu, 25k on Kazuichi and 10 for tris) I think it's fairly obvious who I'm rooting for as the main couple (if there is).
