About this deal

Then he saw Lu Feng's gaze turn malicious, and the fingers that had been patting his head moved downwards and pinched his face. I enjoyed this book. The worldbuilding was engaging and well-developed as readers follow the story along with An Zhe. As a protagonist, An Zhe is likeable. He's sweet. It was great to experience him learning more about being human and human society. How his relationship with Lu Feng progresses feels natural and I became invested, because as much as An Zhe learns, there is stuff he still doesn't know, and it's a treat to read! That third meeting between them?! Ohhhh, my god! They keep getting better, too, and the humor hits as well. This book is also fantastic as a lover of dramatic irony. There is so much!!! The wait for the next volume to see how everything (the relationship and the main dilemmas of the plot) gets resolved is going to be hard, though I do like where this volume ended. What follows is An Zhe’s struggle to find his spore against Lu Feng’s attention all while humanity continues to struggle to survive. “Humankind's interests take precedence over all else” and An Zhe bears witness to this as he watches countless people die. Judgement Day has arrived and the Arbiter must bear that weight. It is against this monumental reality of cataclysm that An Zhe’s innocent search for his spore unfolds, and because he’s a literal mushroom, with a rudimentary and somewhat naive understanding of good and evil or of what propels humans to do the things they do, there is very little space for the endless self-justifying impulse of “human interest”. In a little mushroom’s rendering of the world, the ugliness—that is to say, all the details of struggle and survival—is stark and unflinching, with nothing to hide behind. What we are ultimately left with is a haunted and haunting portrait of what we do to one another in our desperate grasping to unmake our undoing.

i love how emotionally deep the relationship between an zhe and lu feng is. to an zhe, he understands lu feng's loneliness because of his position in society. because of that, he desired for lu feng not to experience any more grief than he already had, so he always protected him in his own way. lu feng is also like that. he learned to depend on an zheng, making him the sole "judge" of his life. after being the arbriter, never once did the people he tried to protect reach out to him for help because their initial reaction upon seeing him was fear and avoidance. so when an zhe asked him for help, he was delighted (my baby). The ending was absolutely lovely. I was honestly so afraid it’s gonna be something awful and sad, but no, I got my happy ending and it felt like a hug. 🥰 This little heterogeneous seemed so sure that Lu Feng wouldn’t hurt him despite his body being covered with marks from the electrocution. ”Prized for their versatility and meat-like heft and texture, mushrooms are popular worldwide—and they come in many forms. Different types of mushrooms for cooking include basic buttons, meaty king oysters, and elusive honeycomb-like morels. Below, we’re diving into the various edible mushroom varieties, from the most common mushrooms (i.e., the ones you’ll find on a slice from the local pizza shop) to the wild fungi you might spot at the farmers market. i love that even though this is set in a post-apocalyptic totalitarian world, they have TWO guys whose jobs are sex doll maker

The characters in this book are incredibly well-developed. The author has a talent for making characters feel vivid and real, whether they're a passerby described in one sentence or someone who'll accompany the reader for a few chapters. An Zhe in particular was a delightful protagonist. His perspective on the story events and his exploration of what it means to live as a human is equal parts endearing, funny and bittersweet. As for Lu Feng - I won't say much but as the second most important character, every scene with him in it had me gripped!Little Mushroom is set in an apocalyptic future where radiation has wiped out most of humankind and the survivors live in bases to protect themselves from mutated creatures. An Zhe is a sentient mushroom who inadvertently ends up with a human form. His spore has been harvested by humans - thus begins An Zhe's journey to search for his missing spore in the human base, while keeping his non-human identity a secret to avoid being executed. Key features: Cup shaped to saucer shaped, up to 4cm across. The upper surface is a brilliant scarlet red, fading with age to orange. The underside is paler and downy. Attached by a little stalk.

Don’t let the title and cover fool you.. THIS IS NOT A CUTE BOOK OKAY (even tho yes the main character is cute AF) it’s actually quite dark full of monsters and crazy mutant human-plant or human-arthropod and the world is in the edge of ending 😨🫣How will he find it, if he can’t get past the human gates because of the “judges”, who stand guard at the gates of human bases, killing the infected and the beings of the elements? There's a few points that don't quite make this book a 5 stars to me. Book two has a lot of science talk that I struggled to grasp as a non-science person. I was incredibly invested in the main pairing's relationship but although I liked their romance, it didn't feel "romantic" to me. The epilogue chapters were also a bit confusing to read in terms of writing style and I felt like they could have been developed more. In the Abyss, home to the mutated xenogenics, there lived a sentient little mushroom. Because it had been nourished by the blood and flesh of the deceased human An Ze, not only did it take on a similar-looking human form, but a similar name as well: An Zhe. It might be a depressing routine, but he does it to keep himself sane. Language: English Words: 1,097 Chapters: 1/1 Comments: 6 Kudos: 31 Bookmarks: 5 Hits: 218
