The Sprouting of Chunny

I... 

What just happened..................

So in this novel, we follow a player, Zhang Zhiyin, who gets transmigrated into the world of his favorite villain, the ultimate boss of the apocalypse Dr. Y, after suddenly being hit by a car. Now, how on earth is he going to survive, not just the apocalypse but potentially the wrath(?) of the villain he romanced and gave chocolates to every day??????????

My first impression of this novel was that it was a lot fluffier than I expected. I would be sitting there with a stupid grin on my face cause I couldn’t get over the antics of the main character. His hopeless love for the boss was hilarious, but what amplified that hilarity even more was how the boss himself decided to handle affairs relating to the main character. And the cats? Yeah. The cats. 

Let me just tell you, they danced around each other like there was no tomorrow. It was truly a salsa of epic proportions; they were made for each other. 

However, despite the fluffiness and our own eating of dog food looking at these idiots, I have never suspended my disbelief more. In fact my disbelief has not only been suspended, I had to completely throw it out the window in order to continue reading. Foreshadowing also does not exist. This novel has so many twists that it puts those 1960′s American dancers to shame. It felt like every time I turned a corner, there’d be another corner waiting for me, anticipating my turning that one, only to be faced with another corner. 

My lord, I’m gone. 

It wasn’t the most mind-boggling read and definitely didn’t capture my heart the way I thought it would, but it was still a cute read nonetheless. Honestly though, I can’t tell if the world building was done well, or if the characters had any character development (I... don’t think so..?..). There were moments where I struggled to read through, and I almost dropped the novel altogether (but dropping is against my character so I read on). Was it worth it? ..... I.... don’t know... 

If you’re looking for some cliché fluff that may make you scream, not just over the fluff but also over just how cliché and wack it can get, then I’d definitely recommend this. The romance felt shallow despite how deep it was supposed to be, but for cavity-inducing boys and a few chuckles here and there, this may be the one for you. While the characters weren’t necessarily the most well thought out, you do end up caring for them and each of their personalities, even the side characters. (Is it bad that I lowkey like the side characters more?). Also, if you enjoy reading novels that you truly cannot predict, then please give this novel a go. I mean this in both a good and bad way. You won’t be able to predict anything. 

At this point my soul has left my body and what is left is an empty shell of disbelief.
