Description
In his past life during the apocalypse, Jiang Nian was trapped in a basement, abandoned by his family when the zombie hordes came, and died tragically in the arms of his ex-boyfriend, Cheng Jing, who rushed in to save him. When he opened his eyes again, Jiang Nian found himself reborn half a month before the apocalypse. Determined to survive, he shamelessly decided to rekindle things with his ex. Step one: Borrow money from his ex to buy supplies— Jiang Nian: “Cheng Jing, can you lend me some money?” Cheng Jing: “Borrow money using your own name? I might as well kneel down for you!” Jiang Nian: “Jing-ge, I was wrong…” After getting back together, he comfortably clung to his now-boyfriend’s thigh and began his relaxed post-apocalyptic life.

My Thoughts on Reborn in the Apocalypse: Clinging to My Ex’s Thigh
First Impressions
"Reborn in the Apocalypse: Clinging to My Ex’s Thigh" is a title that definitely grabbed my attention, and I dove in hoping for a unique take on the well-trodden apocalypse genre with a healthy dose of romance. The premise is intriguing: a reborn protagonist gets a second chance to navigate the zombie-infested world, this time with his ex by his side. I was ready for some action, some sweetness, and maybe even a little angst.
What Works Well
I appreciated the shift in focus away from constant zombie-slaying. It seems the author prioritizes the characters' interpersonal relationships and their efforts to rebuild some semblance of a normal life amidst the chaos. The story seemed to be more about human interaction and the morality of survival, which I found to be a refreshing change. The idea of the MC and his team not being paragons of virtue, but rather pragmatic individuals who prioritize their own survival, also struck me as a more realistic portrayal of how people might behave in such a dire situation. I enjoyed the fact that the zombies served more as a backdrop to the human drama, raising the stakes without overshadowing the core themes.
Areas of Concern
However, I did find some aspects of the story to be problematic. The character development felt somewhat lacking, with characters often defined by a single, repetitive trait. This flatness made it difficult for me to fully invest in their struggles and triumphs. The MC's reliance on the ML, while perhaps intended to be endearing, sometimes came across as him being overly dependent, which detracted from his agency. The pacing of the relationship between the MC and ML was also a bit rushed, making it hard to fully appreciate their reconciliation.

Final Verdict
Overall, "Reborn in the Apocalypse: Clinging to My Ex’s Thigh" offers a different perspective on the apocalypse genre, focusing on human relationships and survival over constant action. While I appreciated the unique approach, some inconsistencies in the plot and character development held it back from reaching its full potential. If you're looking for a romance-heavy, character-driven story set against a zombie backdrop, this might be worth checking out, but be prepared for some narrative bumps along the way.
