Silver Lining
Meh, not all that good of a story so far. The pluses for this story is the concept of the MC character unknowingly being on the moon and building a massive moon-base and fortifying it against alien attack. Only when some alien's land and are captured does he find out that the alien's are from Earth, and he is on Earth's moon. The author tries to make it more of a serious story but the interplay and the problem's associated with moon missions create a fairly dull and confusing story. The AI characters are also somewhat silly. Why did the one expose himself so easily by capturing the first set of astronauts? At least observe, document, and report to the MC.
It's pretty boring, there is not a lot of base building at all. He sort of just has the base and slowly builds up points to buy blueprints. Oh, and the base is on the dark side of the moon, and not on a planet like the description says it is. Also, the MC feels like he is missing in this story. It's literally the AI robots talking to the Earth humans 99% of the time. I tended to skim through a lot of the pages because it was useless information that added nothing to the story, not even entertainment.
Honestly? It's trash, simple as that. The story has everyone instantly believe something there must be an alien... like it's no shock that aliens exist because for some weird reason everybody believes it must be aliens... and then the MC creates really stupid AI that's just kind of annoying and it's like the author's trying to be interesting but again it comes off as annoying. And the MC fails to hide and just doesn't do a great job with the advantages he is given... Trash novel
Besides some Chinese nationalism that was mostly eliminated from the webnovel by the translator, which by the way, thank you so much :), this is a really entertaining story with a quality translation. I really can't believe this isn't more popular, because there isn't anything else like this out there.
Although the story certainly has flaws, it's a pretty interesting read if you're bored, I binged this and I found that one of the worst aspects of the story is the AI that is even more stupid and irracional than the MC, and they are meant to act mostly human to save his sanity but end up doing so many things that I find just ruin the story, confusing ''romance", if you can call it that, mistakes AI shouldn't do and some others. I can't really say much about the writing quality, I've read so much trash that my brain developed a built-in autocorrect so I didn't notice that many errors (but you probably will) and the world building is fine so far. it can be rally confusing at times, and I mean it, but it does have some very interesting moments and if you like sci-fi and have nothing better to do, I'd recommend it.
it starts good but then it's all over the place. in a few chapters the translation is repeated with the entire half the chapter suggesting the use of ChatGPT. early in the story there is a lot of Chinese propaganda bordering racism. then there is a transition of harem to one of his clones. the story is all over the place but because the plot was so interesting I kept reading, I also spent a lot of coins. so overall the plot is good but the story is all over place. i think i will drop this.
