A Rational Zombie by Virlyce

Pretty good. The protagonist never considers not hunting humans or any kind of morality beyond "I want to survive and they want to survive too" which is a nice change. Usually these non-human protags immediately try to be human again and/or just coincidentally are basically functionally human after a while. This goes all-in on a non-human perspective and most of its entertainment value comes from that, the protagonist's deductions on what things do and their conclusions on things is honestly an interesting perspective most of the time.

Pacing-wise there is a pretty long lull in the middle where nothing really happens then the "ending" happens and was honestly disappointing, especially considering they added an afterword that basically says "that's all there is it's perfect like this". What is the point of that? I guessed 2/3 of the ending already from foreshadowing, the lack of any resolution sucks.

Seems like they had a good idea but only halfway executed it. Still entertaining though.

This is the first time a recommended novel caught my attention. Most of em aren't worth trying given their nonsense title or description.

I've read all of the chapters today in one go and it was great! If you want an interesting pov with an MC that is surprisingly intelligent considering the circumstances this is good. Interesting plot development not sure where the author will head next but can't wait!
