its very unserious. the system is also op. it also has the problem of apocalypse novels where nothing is really a threat/problem so you don't feel like it's an apocalypse at all. you can turn your brain off to read this.

some people are just so annoying. it's a mistag, no one murdered your family. why are you guys one starring for a mistag. if you're writing a review talk about the actual story, please. all this does is make it harder for people to judge if to read these kinds of stories. and this story is not bad at all! it's just a gender swapped sign in cultivation story. the protagonist is calm and low-key, so you know there won't be any face-slapping or generic nonsense. the system is powerful if a little strange. like I don't know why it gives her a literal picture of herself when checking in to scenic spots but I don't think there's anything wrong with it. if you like calm cultivation stories that aren't all about fighting and bloodshed this is for you. it's really no different from other slice of life cultivation stories. the author even put no CP in the synopsis, you don't even have to worry about romance. if you never want to read about a different perspective ever I don't know why you're reading books by Chinese authors in the first place. the fun of reading is to experience new things, strange places and different perspectives. refusing to read a story because the MC is a woman is extremely odd. ETA: actually reading the story now, this is a genuine first work of the author and it shows. I think I would give it 4 stars for effort. it's a little juvenile, and the author has a difficult time making the story have gravity, mystery and suspense. the genre helps it, being a slice of life means that none of that is super important. it is a cozy read, chill vibes, not a lot of stress. it's very cute though. if you don't like that don't read it.

c233: this is a rare romance story from mostly the ML's pov. it is also a rare male MC romance story with actual romance in it. I swear most male-MC romance cwns are just not romantic at all, it's like they forget what genre it is in. the MC is reborn and you can tell that's he's a little more mature than he was but it isn't drastic considering it's only 4 years back in time. the FL isn't really a yandere or anything, it's more like a personality disorder. I will say that I don't like how her parents react to her personality disorder. @Travanax put it best; they know she has a problem, and think that getting rid of the one thing that makes her happy and "normal" will "fix" her but really that wouldn't work on any person - much less one with a personality disorder. the one thing I have to say about that is they're written pretty realistically; they've always been out of her life, and despite wanting to be a part of that, they've never learned to be anything but pushy, which obviously makes it worse. most of the drama is from the FL's own insecurities, with her wanting the MC to love her but also not wanting him to know her "bad side", and her and her parents dancing around each other, with the parents wanting to warn the MC and keep him safe bc they think the daughter is a danger to him, and the daughter wanting to keep her parents away bc she thinks they're going to take him away from her. which they are. the ex-crush is still being talked about 200+ chapters in, and it looks like there will always be random women to provoke "jealousy" that gets solved in 2 chapters with a heart to heart talk. if that's annoying to you, don't read this. if you don't care about that part, it's a super sweet novel that shows surprisingly healthy romance dynamics! I am getting a little tired of the parents/FL back and forth but I will definitely be finishing this one.

so I dnfed for 2 reasons. the first one is I don't understand why the MC is the MC, when it is the MC's sister who went through the apocalypse and was reborn with all the knowledge. she very much has a standard protagonist template, but we are following the MC who, imo, has no reason to be the MC. like yes his power is OP, but I feel like it's just OP so we don't question why he's the MC. maybe his personality changes later, but as far as I've read, his personality is very weak and malleable, he really doesn't have his own opinions, even his "wife" is chosen for him by his family and he just goes along with it. I also don't see why the younger sister, with her knowledge, expertise and strength being higher than her brother, decides that she'll stand behind him for all decisions. genuinely if she went through the apocalypse once and was a leader once, why would she hide behind anyone at all? weird. the second reason why I'm dnfing is I can sense the harem coming. there's no harem tag, so I could be wrong about this. with the younger sister's best friend becoming inexplicably jealous and possessive even though he himself is ambivalent, a "childhood sweetheart" doctor popping up out of nowhere who has thoughts about the MC... I do not see this being anything but a harem. it may not be a harem-seeking protagonist, it maybe a harem seeking the protagonist.

i think this is worth 4 stars. it's an interesting apocalypse novel for sure. it's better written and more thought out than the last train apocalypse novel I was reading on here. there is a lot of poisonous things in it that other reviews didn't mention at all though. society has completely collapsed, so all train owners treat non-train owners like slaves. the treatment of slaves gets pretty graphic sometimes too. there's a lot of kidnapping, prostitution, coercion and rape (not done by the MC or on the MC's train, just in the world). there's a lot of jokes about shit, or people shitting in places they normally wouldn't in a civilised society, or just uncleanliness in general. the author also uses a lot of graphic sexually aggressive metaphors, which while they do complete the job of a metaphor, can be jarring. if any of those things bother you, I wouldn't read this story. if they don't bother you at all, it's a pretty interesting read.

this story is very much about face slapping. if you don't like face slapping don't read this. I was interested in the passive skills and the worldview and so far there's really not a lot of exposition happening. the MC goes somewhere, he is disrespected, he doesn't give a shit about it and does his own thing, and by existing he slaps everyone in the face. very few supporting characters aren't dismissive or downright rude from the start. it's just a little boring to me but if you like face slapping this is the story for you.

so i started reading this story because the synopsis makes it look like a farming female frequency story with an emphasis on the MC being strong on her own. I can't finish this at all. 15 chapters in and I really don't want to read 400+ more. the MC is a Chinese woman from earth who died, transmigrated into the "son" of the Qi family in the interstellar, died again and was reborn as Ye Tang, a villainous idiot in the same interstellar world as the Qi family. this is already super complicated and I don't see why this needed to happen. why is the MC so special to die 3 times and come back twice? the supporting characters are also so annoying. I know brain-dead villains who learn to be better is a super common thing to put in stories as a "character growth arc" but these people are literally so stupid. the younger brother with his "superior young master" attitude in EXILE on an abandoned poisonous planet, ordering people around and acting like saying his name will get him everything he wants is annoying. the patriarch father who doesn't want to follow his daughter's lead to do anything because he's the patriarch of course he's in charge, how can a weak woman be in charge! the mother, who does nothing but cry the whole time, gets herself into mortal danger twice in the first 10 chapters by being useless. once her daughter has managed to negotiate and find peace with other exiles to get food she starts using her daughter's prestige with the other exiles and starts ordering them around like slaves - like this isn't a mutually beneficial agreement! and what does the MC do about this? as long as they aren't causing trouble she ignores their behaviour. why? she isn't their daughter, she just ended up in their daughter's body. does she owe these people something? what is she protecting them for? if there is a reason, it is not explained, and the MC just LETS them do this shit when she NEEDS the other exiles to cooperate. I don't have high hopes for this not to be ridiculously fucking frustrating to read.

this is quite a good story. standard fourth calamity story with a horror twist. so far (c184) the worldview is pretty good, the basic story line is in place, the players aren't annoying to read about or messing everything up, the MC is calm and has goals and aspirations, seems like no CP. I really like where this story is going so far. about the review about the Chinese gov in the story killing people: I don't think there's a country on earth that wouldn't use violence to supress violent riots in this kind of situation. also the MC didn't join the government; to say he is a lackey of the government is wrong. other companies'/groups' benefits can't outweigh the freedom he gets of starting his own group, and to do that he needs to register as a strange realm walker with the government to prove that he can be independent and legally recognised. joining a random company will not give him the freedom he needs to be able to be a guiding faction for the players. it's not a flaw in the story, it's something he has to do to have his own group and become a team captain. joining a group would mean he can't do that. it's just that simple.

idk how anybody managed to read 300+ chapters of this. the humour is bad and not funny, the mystery isn't interesting and the MC is annoying. like I don't want him to be the MC because the glimpses we see inside his head are annoying me. I liked the idea of world transmigration with a train and going to different stops, but the story is just not interesting to read at all, and the breaks for humour in between are just sad. maybe it will appeal to people with a similar sense of humour but it just isn't working for me.

good female protagonist story. interesting cheat. interesting world. careful protagonist, hiding strength, making a fortune in silence. I don't see a ML anywhere but I'm not deep into the story yet. the cheat is a pair of heavenly scales that can trade anything. as the MC's cultivation is low, the stuff she can trade for is very small. it basically exchanges things that she cannot use into things that she can. emotions, Qi, faith, death energy, food, water, random items... all of it can be changed into cultivation resources. does it make sense? no, it's kinda op imo. like why can you change 100 hairpins into a talisman??? pure nonsense. but I don't think cheats need to make too much sense, they just need to be useful for the story. if the MC did not have this cheat she wouldn't even be able to cultivate at all in this type of world; she'd die from baleful Qi in 2 years. i don't think this book deserves the low ratings because this is a genuinely interesting story and world being written, the translation is fine, the story is engaging and I don't think it's too confusing. 1 starring for FMC is stupid. go outside and touch grass. if this was a male MC you wouldn't have anything to 1 star it for.
