I’ll Pick Up T*ash to Support You, Little Brother!

Shen Qianqian believes that there is no better place in the world than a junkyard. He can find half a can of fruit, half a piece of bread, and a half-arm teddy bear. What excites him the most is that in the junkyard, he can also find his brother. — A half-brother who can’t walk! A very handsome and clean brother whom no one could exchange for ten marbles. Shen Qianqian has picked up stray kittens, but they ran away. He has picked up stray dogs, and they also ran away. But this limping brother… Ha! He has no legs, so he can’t run away. Shen Qianqian is still worried. Anyway, his brother doesn’t remember anything. He turns his eyes and whispers in his brother’s ear, “You’re Shen Miaomiao, this is our home, you really like me, and even if someone offers you a hundred marbles, you won’t leave with them.” In the first twelve years of Chu Ya’s life, he never expected he would end up in the abyss of poverty, not only losing his legs but also being treated like a pet by a six-year-old child in a junkyard. “Shen Miaomiao, I’m going out to work, be good at home, and don’t tear up our sofa.” He never expected that during those desperate years of survival, he would never once think of abandoning Shen Qianqian. Shen Qianqian is his everything. —

## My Thoughts on I’ll Pick Up T*ash to Support You, Little Brother! "I’ll Pick Up T*ash to Support You, Little Brother!" is a novel that definitely sparked my interest, diving into a post-apocalyptic world with guideverse elements. While it had some compelling aspects, it also presented a few challenges that kept me from fully embracing it. ### First Impressions The initial chapters focus heavily on the MC's life in the orphanage, which I found a bit slow to get through. It took a while for the central relationship to develop and for the plot to truly kick off. However, once the dynamics between the MC and ML started to take shape, the story became much more engaging. The premise itself, set a century after another novel by the same author, "The Human Cub's Guide to Wasteland Survival," intrigued me with its floating city and polluted earth. ### What Works Well I found the concept of Quantum Beasts particularly delightful. The author created distinct personalities for these creatures, making them feel like individual characters with their own quirks and flaws. The idea that these beasts reflect the imagination and even the hygiene habits of their hosts led to some genuinely funny moments. I also appreciated the world-building, which created a believable, albeit harsh, environment. The power dynamics between different factions and the struggle for resources added depth to the narrative. ### Areas of Concern One of my main issues was the pacing, especially the time skip. While I understand the author's decision to skip over a significant portion of the characters' growth, I felt like it left some gaps in the story. I would have loved to see more of their life in Linya City, their school experiences, and the development of side characters. Also, while the main villain was well-developed, their motivations seemed to weaken as the story progressed, making their actions feel less impactful. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Some readers might find the following contains spoilers. The villain's obsession with creating a zombie army, despite having access to resources that could have been used to develop a vaccine, felt somewhat illogical. It made their character seem less intelligent and more driven by blind ambition. The slow burn romance may also deter some readers. ### Final Verdict Overall, "I’ll Pick Up T*ash to Support You, Little Brother!" is an enjoyable read with some unique elements, particularly the Quantum Beasts. However, pacing issues and some questionable plot decisions hold it back from reaching its full potential. If you're a fan of post-apocalyptic stories with a focus on character dynamics and don't mind a slow-burn romance, this novel might be worth checking out.
