Synopsis
In a zombie-infested city under total lockdown, the protagonist Qi Luyao finds himself trapped in a relentless time loop. He must navigate the horrors of the apocalypse and a complex, strained relationship with an old flame to finally break the cycle. This reads like a blend of Edge of Tomorrow and classic ABO romance tropes, mixing survival horror with psychological repetition. It is ideal for readers who enjoy high-concept sci-fi blends with BL romance and 'broken mirror' reunion dynamics. Those seeking traditional zombie action or those who dislike ABO settings should skip it. The narrative features a tight, cyclical pacing that emphasizes the mental toll of the loop, highlighted by Qi Luyao's unique blend of hedonism and rebellion. The standout quality is the juxtaposition of end-times dread with the protagonist's nonchalant attitude toward the villain.

Editorial Review
This completed BL novel offers an intriguing mix of apocalypse survival and time-loop mechanics. At 140 chapters, the length is concise, suggesting a focused narrative that does not overstay its welcome. The 'broken mirror reunion' trope adds emotional weight to the sci-fi elements, and the characterization of Qi Luyao as a 'sensible lunatic' provides a refreshing perspective on end-of-the-world fatigue. However, the extremely low visibility suggests it may struggle to find a wide audience or lacks a strong hook for general readers. The soft sci-fi approach is a strength, as it focuses on the characters' dynamics rather than dense technical jargon. A potential weakness is the niche appeal of the specific ABO implementation without supernatural powers, which might alienate readers expecting typical genre power-scaling.
