David's Reviews > Apocalypse Cultivator

The worst of the harem-lit books I've sampled so far.

"Cultivation fiction" is a subgenre of litrpg where the characters build homesteads and gather resources and followers (*cough* harems) to become the biggest and best bosses.

The MC is an asshole biglaw partner who's about harass the uppity junior associate who dared to talk back to him, when the apocalypse happens. They wind up in some sort of zombie apocalypse and the asshole biglaw partner turns into an Alpha beating up zombies and saving the junior associate. So she suddenly decides he's hot and they have sex straight out of Penthouse Letters but more poorly written. He also feels an "instinctive" need to "breed" her, which she is now totally onboard with.

The game elements were underdeveloped, the sex was as awful as the dialog, and the characters are cardboard. Even by harem-lit standards, this was just really pretty dire. Again, take my review with a grain of salt since I only read the free sample, but it definitely did not tempt me to continue reading.
