Very underrated in my opinion. Probably only great for those looking for this sort of thing, which I was. Give it a shot. My only concerns are relationship area, but that's like 3 of 300 chapters and I'm not sure what direction it will take.

boring tbh. There is nationalism but it does not make sense and it feels like an excuse more than a theme. Like the most he can say about his country is 'no human alive can understand caring about the weak' what da?, look at these locally made items and our food taste good. I have the taste for nationalism as it can make novels unique when any effort is put into it. Like black castle was brilliant. I hate it when the novel does not say it with its chest, don’t be like "oh white people randomly have the worst tech in the book I just made up" just say you think your race’s mind is better or give them weak brains. Theory: once there is a mastiff in a story its going to be bad
Absolute garbage, nothing unique, terrible world building and character development. It was 3/5 stars until around chapter 40 where the Author's nationalism came into play. Other groups (other countries) had a nice shelter and were singing and dancing but author tries to justify slavery in the acid rain (that literally dissolves flesh) with only straw clothing becauce they have "hope" and are part of Authors nationality. It absolutly astounds me the level of propaganda this book tries to convey, saying escentially that slavery in acid rain is better than what other countires have when they're perfectly safe and having fun.
Although I don’t comment usually but right now I have to say something about these snail speed chapter updates. Whereas the original Chinese novel already surpassed +575 chp as of now I am writing this review. Hopefully this review reaches translation team and they increase the updates of these chapters. OVERALL THIS NOVEL IS EXCELLENT AND FUN TO READ THANKS TO TRANSLATION TEAMS HARDWORK AND CAN’T WAIT TO SEE NEW PLOT TWISTS AND EXCITING DEVELOPMENT
Oh. Where do I start with this dissapointment? I call it a ‘dissapointment’, not a ‘failure’ as it really had the potential to be something pretty extraordinary. The system was honestly pretty engaging, the mechanics and pacing were decently well-timed and the underlying plot seemed to be promising. This is about as far the pros get, though. You see, as soon as I read about the main character having a family, I immediately promised myself I would stop reading if they don’t immediately die afterwards, for fear of it going down the path of so many other less-than-mediocre works. Though just as I was starting to feel like the author had finally had some sense knocked into them, the novel takes a deep-dive into social interaction, with videocalls and trading and whatnot, introducing us to multiple unidimensional characters, one of which being a relative - a friend of the main character’s father. Awkward is the best term I could use to decribe their interaction. I can only see the main character’s ‘family’ as burdens honestly. The same goes with any other character the main character seems to want to treat well/care for. Speaking of characters, the main character himself is just annoying to read. Not only is there hardly anything noteworthy or unique about him or his personality, but his hypocritical so-called ‘justice’ is just revolting. In short, he’s indecisive, weak-minded (in more ways than one) and acts however the author seems to want him to act, undergoing ridiculous mood-swings, IQ drops and attitude changes. He, like all the other characters, does not feel remotely multi-faceted. I’ve read of characters in a 5-lined poem more 3-dimensional. Sadly, this does seem to be par for the course with most Chinese webnovels. They are either masterpieces (they need not be named here) or complete time-wasters. Personally, I don’t mind that the main character does not undergo much growth, or that he isn’t reacting ‘realistically’ to the apocalyptic scenario. What I despise more than anything else is the mindset of the main character himself. What can I say? I abhor these narrowminded, hypocritical ‘goody-two-shoes’ characters that can’t seem to open their eyes to reality no matter how much it is shoved into their faces. This problem is made even worse with the stench of nationalism growing ever more distinct the further one reads. I understand that the nation the main character was born and raised in would be recieving a significant degree of glorification and partiality due to the perspectives we read the story through, but the extents the author seems to go with this is just downright uncouth. I have more to say, but I will end it there as thinking about it just serves to remind me how much of a letdown this truely was. Please note: At the time of this review’s posting, I have read around half of the current available translated chapters (~150).
Reading this has shown me that both the author and the translator are idiots. Research the things you want to claim as fact. Keep a log of changes to the MCs inventory, including shelter, and for the love of god, pick a freaking unit of measure and STICK TO IT. Catties, yards, meters, kilometers, feet, grams. Pick a measuring system and stop deviating like a bumbling fool. Actually take the time to remember what has been said before. As of my current reading, the MC has an AC/Furnace combo and has not installed it yet. He acquired it like 200 chapters ago and even changed the layout of the shelter. But... even underground, with enough fuel, his shelter is steal reaching 32°F and lower? Because the author is incompetence and can't keep track of his own words. This book started out strong and then flopped. To the translator "cattycattycatty": learn to do the job better, you can't just translate and call it. Make the words fit. There is a difference between he caught the ball and he caught the ball with his face. You clearly do not understand the difference.
Decent translation and fun to read for like ten chapters, but the story has so many plot holes and the author literally inserts 'this is sooo realistic' and 'city boys don't know jack about survival' comments which like, would be okay if this novel knew jack about survival or had the barest ounce of research put into it lol.
It's a story about the MC thrown into a survival apocalyptic? minecraft world, with disasters timer. There's so much plot armor on the MC that it dampens the severity of his situation, it's truly like playing a survival game where the best route already laid out for the MC. What? 1000 people and nobody thinks of digging a well? Truly?.... wow.
