Interesting concept, but ultimately just another standard cultivation novel.

Dumb, arrogant and entitled MC

Kinda interesting, but the novel is packed with so much overly detailed information that I ended up skipping most of each chapter.

The story is readable. Story: There are a few plot holes early on - such as everyone somehow knowing on day one of the apocalypse how rare a specific ability is. The novel is filled with classic apocalypse and cultivation tropes. Naturally, everyone in the cultivation world speaks and writes Mandarin. The MC quickly gets involved with expert-level martial artists, top-tier factions, and hidden cultivator cave opportunities, and manages to cultivate his first immortal technique within a month. Characters: Everyone is constantly amazed by how “unfazed” the MC is, and his overwhelming arrogance is somehow always interpreted as him being extraordinary. The side characters have little depth or distinct personality. The MC himself is extremely arrogant and, for some reason "too lazy" to use his all-knowing Eye of Insight on potential enemies. Despite having an endless lifespan, he jumps on every opportunity and complains about slow progress after just a few days - despite repeatedly claiming he can afford to take things slowly. Writing: The writing is decent overall, though it suffers from the annoying habit of ending nearly every sentence with an exclamation mark! Conclusion: All in all, it’s an average cultivation novel with a bit of apocalypse flavor mixed in.

The novel is about a young man who was abandoned by his fellow villagers and family and sacrificed to an evil spirit. Contact with the spirit grants him undescribed powers, and he inadvertently kills the entire population of the village. Traumatized, he wanders for months before attempting suicide - only to be struck by meteorites and seemingly transported to another world, where he becomes an adventurer. I’m not quite sure how to describe it, but the story feels like it was written by a child. It reads as if the author had several disconnected ideas and simply threw them together without considering how to make them cohesive. The characters - especially the MC - come across as simple-minded and lacking depth. I wouldn’t recommend reading this novel. You could give it a try if there’s truly nothing else to do or read.

I lost interest when the MC goes to blow up a Japanese war memorial in Chapter 3. I don’t understand why that needed to be included in a story about worldwide apocalypse survival. It felt wildly out of place and is just an unnecessary injection of chinese nationalism. Aside from that, the novel also follows the typical “space power” route - the MC is reborn and somehow ends up with a house and land in her pocket dimension.

Decently written HP fanfiction. I’ll stop reading because the MC becomes too powerful too quickly for my taste. Of course, he’s also the center of attention at school due to his genius intellect and mythical pet. In addition, he holds hands and makes ambiguous jokes with 11-year-old female classmates, despite being mentally much older due to his transmigration - which felt off to me. If you enjoy stories with overpowered protagonists who face little struggle and don’t mind uncomfortable age dynamics, this might be for you.

Pretty good, but I lost interest during a political intrigue arc that lasted at least 20 chapters, starting around chapter 80-90.
