Reviews of Swallowed Star

Chapter 909 costs 10 crystals to unlock, today's 9 crystals. What the F? How the f Qidian went from free to "pay a million to read? I thougut the price of chapters will at least diminish daily by a crystal and I guess I was wrong If I cant even read 9 out of 10 chapters now, why read at all??

I eat tomatoes worst work. And he agreed. He dropped this novel. He never finished it. Protagonist becomes a side character in one of his other novels, though. Anyway, don't read this if you want something that actually gets an ending. Anyway, it's his most boring work. Go read one of his other ones.

Pretty good read in my opinion, the early chapters were very entertaining for me but once you go into the later ones like 800+ it kinda gets boring for me. I'd also like to add onto the fact that his family don't really have any development whatsoever and their main reason for existing is to be protected by the MC.

“Swallowed Star” is a rather interesting yet failed take on the “post-apocalypse” genre by I Eat Tomatoes. While gripping at first, with the poor yet hardworking protagonist Luo Feng, the plot quickly becomes stale as it devolves into little more than a power trip fantasy. Simply put, Luo Feng’s power creep is ludicrous. At many times during the story, a monster or, rather, any opponent Luo Feng fights is usually described as “awe-inspiring” or so powerful that simply looking at them would cause one to be gripped by fear and insanity. Does this matter, however? Not when Luo Feng can utterly crush him under his feet 2-3 chapters later! Even with his standard hero “cheat power,” Luo Feng’s experiences with adversity are ridiculous as they bear very little to no consequence for him. Warriors and veterans that have become so strong that they are classified as humanity’s strongest? Gigantic monsters that could kill veterans with decades of experience as easily as breathing? Maybe even God himself? No problem for Luo Feng! One year of “hard work” and training for him = decades for other people. Hardest skill that almost no one has mastered let alone even become familiar with? Becoming a master of advanced martial arts with less than a year of training? Just a little elbow grease and can-do attitude will do! Now, while you can argue that this is all due to his “cheat,” (and even the novel espouses this) please keep in mind that this “power” is not one-of-a-kind. Incredibly rare, yes, with his “power” being amongst the strongest of his kind, the novel’s premise of “humanity struggling against the monsters” is shattered when you see just how quickly he levels up. Now taking into account the fact that his power is rare and that he’s among the strongest with this power, if there was even one or two other people with his level of power out of a population of 5 billion people, according the novel, (not counting the dozens or hundreds of others with the same power, albeit slightly weaker) then humanity would be at the top of the food chain again within a year or two with how ridiculously fast their growth is. Aside from this, side characters are frequently bland and 2-dimensional whose entire purpose is to show how much better Luo Feng is compared to them. Yes, while it IS nice that Luo Feng isn’t insufferably arrogant towards his enemies and, yes, while this novel’s small-time antagonists break the standard Wuxia trope of “I’m just so much better than the protag and I’m going to annoy him until he kills me,” it immediately becomes apparent that IET doesn’t care about developing anyone else besides the protag outside of using them as platforms for which Luo Feng’s glorious light can/will shine thorough. Ultimately, while I found this novel to be unique in its willingness to break SOME standard Wuxia tropes, it fails in its ability to impart any real sense of ******* in any of its scenes. Luo Feng simply becomes too powerful too quickly and he is Never in any real danger (hell, he even fights a veteran hunter later that is so powerful that he’s known as a “war god” and gets away with nothing more than a few bruises). While some of you may argue that that’s just because of his cheat power and that I’m nitpicking, please keep in mind that this very same type of character appears in countless other novels. The “got super strong, super fast because of luck/secret power/rich family/blessed by true heavens” kind of character that is usually an antagonist in most novels. These kinds of characters always seem to lose because strength and speed does NOT equal experience. “Oh but those guys are usually all arrogant,” sure, but not ALL of them are conceited or arrogant and ultimately end up losing anyways. Remember, Luo Feng’s power is NOT unique, and it’s ridiculous to think that all these veterans and monsters that have fought in countless battles for decades upon decades wouldn’t have SOME form of survival instinct or caution when it comes to the sneak attacks and unexpected strikes that are Luo Feng’s forte. If not, why wouldn’t they just round up all the people with this “cheat” and have them ambush every strong monster king/emperor/god that exists? (Yes, there are endless monsters but even among them there are very few “super monsters” that die in one hit to the protag anyways)

Aweful translation, so aweful it made me want to drop this novel. The worst is that the translator don't give a f#ck about the readers. It is a good novel but the translators are ruining it. **: sorry for the mistakes. I am french.

Everything is great about the novel. This review is for translator. Atleast read the chapters from before! WORM RACE? FORCE? You suck and are 100% unprofessional. Until this is fixed, l will be giving 1 star to all your chapters. This is ruining my immersion that I am used to. Starts around 950s? Read comments you nub! Translation nation plz come back! They are ruining the novel you did an awesome job translating.

Great story. Must read - Wait for translation to finish. The current translators are having massive issues. Sometimes they'll go days without posting then suddenly start posting the same chapter twice... Then they post the chapters in the wrong order and then not fix it... On top of that, the current story was over 900 chapters when the new translators took over and they can't keep the original terminology. They keep translating stuff like Universe Master as Universe Overlord.... It's not terribly hard to follow but it is quite annoying.

Just because writer repeated a chapter translator repeated writers mistake too that should tell you something about this translators quality other than that novel is pretty good stars slow but gets faster and faster

Frequently duplicates chapters, charging spirit stones with no reimbursement or going back to free up ths said chapter. Story is interesting, but lackluster compared to other tomato stories.

Hello I'm having a real issue with the name "worm race" could you please return it to been the "bug race" as it should make more sence. Thank you in advance

pwease update. pwetty pwease. I had a dream. That 1 day, all my favorite novels will reach a conclusion. In english. Please don't end my dream.

it's already a month and no update i am dissapointed 😞. at least release some status of the translation. this is one of the novel that i really enjoy

Hey what the hack is going on its been 2 months and there is no update if you cant do it then give it to someone who can translate or at least inform us.why its dropped when will t start we want to know

Dear author, 😊😊🤗 When will the next chapters come out?😑😑 Has this book been dropped?🤭🙁😕😩 It’s been so long since the last update Your fan, Yumi

this here needed to be updated, I hate wasting my vote for novel that's left for dead, and I am pretty sure that reading from machine translated website would give me brain cancer eventually, the last I check- brain cancer is bad for your health overall.

Great novel. Must for Sci-fi lovers, and people who like reading clan building, sect building and army building genre. BUT. What I want say the most about the novel, is that the translator is a dikhead, he fuks about with updating the novel. He also disappears according to his mood, without informing people who are following his work.Then he goes and locks his chapter. {Which means you need to use 8-13 spirit stone to read one fuking chapter.} Overall, great novel but fuk all translator.

For some off you who were wondering why there weren’t any updates the last week: the current TL had a falling out with Qidian and has stopped his cooperation. He won’t be translating this novel. I thank Leo for his very nice translations and hope Qidian can find a replacement.

Very Good Novel. Why there are no new chapters. They stopped translating them? I really like this novel. Please continue with the translation. Thank you

Great novel, nothing more needs to be said., on a side note, i feel like Qidian shot itself in the foot by kind of hiding the novel on they're site and not advertising it as they did with The Kings Avatar
