Description

The main character is reborn countless times, only to meet inevitable death each time he gains a new body. After endless cycles of reincarnation, Q finally obtains an immortal form. But the world he finds himself in is not a friendly place.

The book contains brutal/violent moments, but not as many as you may think. The majority appear early on(FIRST 3 CHAPTERS)P.S. Zombies only appear in the first chapter. This isn't a zombie apocalypse story.

“And hot ones at that! (the zombies, as referenced in the title) What a fun (and funny) start. This is good stuff, keep going :) I really like the MC and his voice (+snarky narration). Can't wait to have him interact with someone who can see what sorry state…”

“Ok this is good. But please. I beg you, please. Commission a fiction cover. It will not only do wonders for your visibility and CTR, but also just generally improve the look and feel of your fiction. You have an amazing work here, but it is not the AI-esque…”

And hot ones at that! (the zombies, as referenced in the title)
What a fun (and funny) start. This is good stuff, keep going :) I really like the MC and his voice (+snarky narration). Can't wait to have him interact with someone who can see what sorry state he is in lol.
There were a few tense shifts, so I'd recommend taking a second pass over the text to catch those.

Commission a fiction cover. It will not only do wonders for your visibility and CTR, but also just generally improve the look and feel of your fiction.
You have an amazing work here, but it is not the AI-esque spiky hair anime boy generic Isekai your cover makes it out to be.
I'm hooked at chapter 5, and I normally wouldn't review until later, but damn if your fiction isn't getting the love it deserves!

This is absolutely NOT a generic isekai, and if anyone tries to say otherwise, they didn’t read it.
Your MC is an actual disaster, and the vibe is a hybrid of nihilism, sarcasm, and “I’ve been through so much shit I don’t care anymore.” That’s fresh. It gives the series a real identity. The immortality is both a curse and a vehicle for every joke, every breakdown, and every philosophical moment.
The narration is brutal, hilarious, and sometimes bleak, but the MC’s voice is unique.
Honestly? This is what so many “gritty” isekai try and fail to do: make it grimy and sad and funny without ever feeling edgy for the sake of it. You ride the edge but you never fall into cringe. That’s rare.
You clearly know what you’re doing with pacing—every time the MC gets close to hope, you rip it away (zombies, cults, titans, mages, bureaucracy). It always feels earned. The “letdown” never feels cheap.
Opening is STRONG.
“I’d long lost count of my own deaths…” is a banger first line.
It’s bleak, but funny. Immediately sets expectations and tone.
“Pathetic, frail lamb clutched in an eagle’s talons”—I love the randomness of the MC’s deaths and rebirths. It’s gross and you lean into it.
Zombie arc is peak “what the fuck.”
The idea of using his immortality to get eaten as a “buffet” is both disgusting and smart.
“Eat me up, friends! Eat me up!”—delivered like an unhinged meme. Chef’s kiss.
You make the violence memorable—he doesn’t just get attacked, it’s a whole process of pain, humiliation, and then pragmatic problem solving.
The humor WORKS.
“Foot-fetish freaks,” “massage,” “she totally stole my first kiss”—the MC is suffering but never stops being a dumbass.
He sounds like a dude who’s been tortured so long, all that’s left is jokes. It’s unironically funny, but sad in the background.
The rules are consistent.
The explanation about mass/energy, food, resetting after eating—this makes sense and grounds the immortality a bit.
Never overstays its welcome.
Aqua Grand Sizo is memorable.
