It recently occurred to me that since the Choejong Boss’eui series was back on Amazon, Yeojuingong’eun Pa’eob Jung might be as well. That turned out to indeed be the case and I quickly grabbed the second novel… which was a mistake. I have no idea what was going through the author’s head but this is no longer a romance series, instead somehow going completely off the rails to center on some kind of transmigrator shadow war. Just completely nonsensical.
The first Jeonjijeok Dokja Sijeom novel is certainly something, dropping you almost directly into a blood-soaked post-apocalyptic survival game with little idea of what to expect. While for the most part the scenario and setting details quickly become clear, there are two questionable aspects; the main protagonist’s abnormally detached behavior and the in-universe protagonist being a two-time regressor. Where exactly was the main protagonist during the first two timelines? Perhaps those issues are connected and will be explained later. Regardless, if you like coldly analytical overpowered protagonists then you should give this a shot.
