I won't say anything other than that ever since the author paused any updates to this novel, I've been checking for updates every few months or so. Fantastic novel.
This novel feels really amateurish imo. The major plot points were okay, I guess. i dropped it when out of nowhere this Genesis bio company dropped a zombie eradication thing. Instead of being an actual biological or chemical weapon or vaccine like the company's name would suggest, it's a MELEE robot with 'centipede like lines stitching its face together'?? Cringing just writing this
Also, where tf is the government in all of this? Why does a Pfizer knockoff have to be the one to announce their survivor shelters?
I'm leaving this review to say that I was really excited with the start of this novel, but then was gradually disappointed with amateur writing.
things like the main character meeting another character, immediately saying the new character's name to their face, multiple times. It goes: mc"Character A!" Character A"How do you know my name!!!" It's a little cring inducing.
im not one to hate cliches but oh man this writing is all over the place. The author even changes his mind on a skill's usage requirements suddenly.
Now, what made me realize this wasn't worth reading anymore is the Mc not using his op skill, that he just used mind you, why? Because his dumb face wants to take the "hard path"™️
The mc reading the same fundamentals book 80 times, in the beginning of the story, without any special reason, to get a skill he could just get using skill points and then resetting, shows two things. It shows the shallow thoughts of the author. It also makes you realize how unrealistic the Mc is. Who would have little to no reaction to dying, then proceed to not take advantage of the save+reload system, then torture themselves rereading the same fundamentals book for an ungodly amount of time?
it's really off putting when the main character doesn't use any of the plethora of advantages he has. Why even have the advantages in the first place then, author? Then again, maybe it's just a ChatGPT novel... I'm really disappointed :/
Let me begin by saying the author is a serious racist and radical with Chinese supremacy.
The pre-racist chapters are actually quite good, very satisfying. The mc is vicious to his enemies and won't leave loose ends. But around chapter 150 or so, the racism arc 1 "North America" begins. I got through it no problems as I've built some tolerance to mild racism. They portray American woman as whores and men as group bedroom yoga enthusiasts, not too bad. Oh and Chinese woman who like Americans are the worst of the nympomaniacs in this novel.
But around chapter 170, the African racism arc 2 begins, with the classic "these black African non-nationals are simpleminded, violent, spineless, uncivilized (living in a whole in the mountains), etc. " sentiments. I tried getting through this but what made me disinterested in reading any further was this quote:
"Wuwahwahwah! I want to go back to Africa!!"
in chapter 179.
This novel pretty much degenerated into a racial drama with the Chinese always murdering other races. my opinion of Chinese people generally worsened from this novel. From reading this, I remembered the various genocides and ethnic cleansing that was normal to the Han people.
This is the novel I've read the most of, I think. The beginning is really the best part sadly as masterpieces get more and more difficult to write towards completion. nontheless, this novel is really good. I just wish that novels get updates just like software, where maybe a few chapters in the middle of the story could change for the better so that the novel keeps improving gradually.
I don't like this novel nor this author. I don't actually remember when I "read" this unreadable nightmare but I didn't enjoy it in the slightest. I came to review it since it popped up in my search results
This is the epitome of a 3 star novel on this site.

I really don't mind this story, but it's so infuriating when someone has a super duper op power but is insufferably dumb and doesn't use it properly.
Authors, take note that if you don't want the MC to use their power in an obvious way, just limit the skill/power instead of nerfing the protagonist's IQ
5 stars across the board. I really enjoy these types of novels where the MC is actually smart.
no clichés, just a unique action-horror fusion done in good taste. Ring me up if you want spoilers. I guess you can't since this is a review, not a comment...
Pretty good novel all things considered. it certainly carries some of the LOTM power system, but it's severely lacking compared to it in rituals and world building.
about the power scaling that many people here in the reviews are complaining about, its actually revealed later on that... uh.. without spoilers, basically the mc's plot armor is explained.
One thing to note: in chapter '167: 150' the author says this:
"""the degree of spacing in the tree rings can differentiate north from south; sparse rings indicate the south, dense rings the north. This is because the south side receives full sunlight, causing the trees to grow more robust on that side and thus spreading the rings further apart. The north side tends to be less developed, and the rings are packed tighter."""
that's just plain wrong. Tree rings differ in thickness mostly due to physical stress, such as wind blowing from a certain direction repeatedly. The tree distributes energy from sunlight mostly equally across itself, and any tree ring asymmetry would not be due to sunlight. Also, even if this was the case, it still wouldn't be accurate as it would vary by hemisphere.
In fact, tree rings are near perfectly round in a greenhouse environment without simulated wind.
I think the author has a tendency to write without adhering to a world setting or pre-writing guidelines/fact checking. I guess only professional or truely dedicated writers have such quality measures. Hats off to LOTM.

This novel has a lot of potential, but bad science and inconsistent character personalities, along with unexplained major plot elements really let this story down. Oh, and the translation here is pretty bad.
the main character is supposed to be a scientist who really dislikes social interaction, and fakes himself to others for personal gain, but somehow this supposedly cold and calculating protagonist just gives his identity away to a stranger. (Trying not to spoil the story). Not only that, he gives all his money this stranger who he only spoke to for a 2 hours at most. Not to mention that the stranger should really be hating or at least really distrusting towards him.
