Description
After transmigrating into a post-apocalyptic novel, the System informs Sang Luo that her fiancé, the male protagonist, has abandoned her to run off with his one true love, the female protagonist. Her mission, should she choose to accept it, is to get revenge. Sang Luo: “?” “I’d rather just die, thanks.” So she cuts her finger and smears it with zombie blood. System: “???” It awakens a water-elemental ability for her in a panic-induced scream. When the food at home runs out, Sang Luo lies on the floor like a salted fish. “Starving to death is also an option.” System, weeping: “If you go find food, I’ll awaken a space-elemental ability for you!” Sang Luo reluctantly agrees. Later, she stumbles upon a heavily injured person. System: “AHHH! That’s the final villain! Save him! You can team up with him later to kill the main characters!” Sang Luo decisively abandons him. System, having a complete meltdown: “If you save him, I’ll awaken a fire-elemental ability for you!” Sang Luo thinks for a moment. “In that case, I want lightning.” After all, the power is out at home, and a lightning ability would be perfect for watching TV. System: “…” … Before she knows it, Sang Luo has collected every single elemental ability. Her: “Huh?” Later, at a survivor base, the power-level testing machine explodes when she touches it. She yawns: “Did you guys find this thing in a dumpster?” Out on a mission, Sang Luo does nothing but sleep or doze off. The team decides to teach her a lesson by deliberately leaving her behind in a zombie horde. A while later, she catches up to them without a single scratch on her. “Hey, why didn’t you tell me you were leaving?” Everyone: [stunned_dog_face.jpg] How did she get back?!? The great villain’s heart was once a barren wasteland. At first, he: “Only idiots believe in disgusting things like feelings.” Later— He holds up a bowl of porridge he cooked himself, coaxing the person sleeping lazily in bed: “My sweet treasure, just have a few bites before you go back to sleep.” Tsk, everyone has their moments of eating their own words.

My Thoughts on This Salted Fish is a Max-Level BOSS
This web novel certainly piqued my interest with its intriguing title and the promise of an overpowered protagonist in a post-apocalyptic setting. After diving in, I can definitely see why it has garnered a decent, though somewhat divided, following.
First Impressions
The initial chapters immediately establish the MC as someone who operates on her own whims. She's powerful, seemingly unbothered by the chaos around her, and possesses a unique blend of nonchalance and ruthlessness. The system element adds a layer of intrigue, though it seems to take a backseat to the MC's already impressive abilities. The setup is fast-paced, throwing you right into the thick of things with monsters, ability users, and a world teetering on the brink.
What Works Well
The sheer power of the protagonist is a major draw for many. She effortlessly subdues enemies and commands respect, even being hailed as a goddess by some. Her diverse skill set, ranging from talisman creation to sharpshooting, adds to the sense that she's a force to be reckoned with. The action sequences are engaging, and the world-building, while not always the focus, is interesting enough to keep you invested. I appreciated the author's willingness to make the MC morally ambiguous, not simply a beacon of pure good. She saves people, yes, but she's not afraid to get her hands dirty when necessary.
Areas of Concern
However, the novel isn't without its flaws. Some may find the MC's overwhelming power to be a bit much, leading to a lack of tension in certain situations. Also, the romance is very slow-burn, with the love interest only beginning to develop feelings much later in the story. Readers looking for a quick and passionate romance might be disappointed.

Final Verdict
Overall, "This Salted Fish is a Max-Level BOSS" is an entertaining read if you enjoy overpowered protagonists, action-packed scenarios, and a morally grey female lead. While the slow-burn romance and the MC's sometimes detached demeanor might not appeal to everyone, the novel offers a unique take on the post-apocalyptic genre with a confident and capable female lead at its helm. I'd give it a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars. It's not a masterpiece, but it's a fun and engaging story that kept me entertained.
