o-reum!

I honestly expected her to be the scared and unimpressive one that's completely typical in an mc of an apocalyptic storyline that manages to survive by luck. Well, color me surprised that she's actually more pragmatic than she looks!

She's practical and straightforward with her goals but not to the point of looking cold. Unlike an indifferent person like the other characters, she's sincere and cares for the lives of people (i think she mostly cares bc it's beneficial yet she still has the heart for empathy^^). I love that she's intent on reaching her sister and can displays bits of badass-ery in a way. She seems not to be the most athletic person yet she possesses the mindset to know her skills. I also like that she's not quite naive to just trust people left and right.

I also like that we got the POV of Bald Guy in his death. It just seems to add depth to the story. I'm not much for ships in this kind of story since straight male love interests kinda bore me (I'm biased towards romance manhwa MLs, they're so repetitive ngl haha) but the Doctor Guy (Henry) piques my interest (i just loveee intelligent characters lol)

O-reum's certainly not the most unique take of an MC I've encountered, but she's definitely refreshing.

As for predictions... I'm just expecting more badass female leads in a zombie apocalypse that doesn't focus much on the romance aspect
