It's pretty much a standard cultivation story with a lot of tech and scifi jargon to make it appear futuristic. For a webnovel, its decently written. The genetic system/chain is like acupoints and meridians. the country is your sect, contribution points are the same, instead of demonic cultivators, there are aliens. There are various interests groups and clans. It's not bad, as a futuristic cultivation novel. As for the nationalism/racism, if you are the type of reader who takes it personally, skip this. The U.S. and their EU lackeys have long been adversaries of China, and India and China have had territorial/border disputes for years. I'm not surprised a chinese author would develop a novel with antagonists that mirror real life. It gets to be over the top at points, but if you are able to gloss over that, this is a mildly entertaining story.

After a very early point in the book it becomes entirely about Chinese superiority in every field that is mentioned in any capacity. Every other nation or group is portrayed in a range from useless to down right cartoonishly evil for no other reason than they're trying to secure benefits for their own nation over others. The quality of the translation is also terrible, and entire sections are just lifted straight from machine translations with almost no effort.
A lot of hypocritical nationalist racism,flashy science words used to sound smart, and some pretty basic misunderstandings of how things work. Example 1 hearing a super sonic object before it hits you... yes it's supposedly moving past the sound barrier. The sonic boom is clearly pointed out. Example 2 no understanding of space but still trying to explain things with light years and such. The asteroid belt is to far away. A planet that's really far away is somehow in the solar system. The moons gravity is ignored for conflict but Mars's gravity needs attention... basically lots of issues. If you're able to cope with these issues the story is actually interesting.
Currently on Chapter 621I'll start by saying that this story has a power system that I've never read about before and it's a pretty good system as well. MC is a hard worker and has an interesting personality. Story development is pretty good so far imo, the only reason I gave it a 4-star rating regarding that is because I can't find a category regarding nationalism. 🤣 I mean, I don't know if the author even bothered masking the nationalism feels when writing this but the shade thrown on the other "sectors" (aka countries) is getting to be too much at times. 🤦 Anyway, besides that the story is a solid read so far. 8/10!Tl;dr: Good read but power through nationalism.
Although this book about the great genetic era, this book disgust me. Technological advancement was literally based on imagination with little reasoning, its gets to much to detailed at one point and looses to much details at another. Cultivation progress distinction was not clearly written and not detailed enough, to much threat and benefitd and plots but they are not discussed, this is more like a diary because everything that happend is literally related to the mc directly. Setting is in an intergalactic era but the mc is dtill adventuring in the wilderness of the planet. We are literally in 400 chapters already but the mc's level and cultivation was literally not mentioned apart from the first hundred chapters when he was examined, there is just fightc and discovery and boom he gets stronger and awakens another unrelated gene base point and powers up boom. Not recommended.
Great book that while almost entirely school based, shows a good mix of modern/marrial arts and sci-fi futuristic qualities to keep you entertained if you are not a "China author's book is too China Patriotic" opinions person. Overall funny, exciting and with a decently smart MC make it read very smoothly.
Very slow speed and characters are very 1 demensional. Author is witty, which is great but the story doesn’t progress. The world building sucks. The setting is the middle of a galactic war in the future, which isn’t congruent with what the MC experiences. He experiences a bunch of cliches from bullying which isnt congruent with the seriousness of a war.
Very unique novel. Mc's goldfinger is reasonable. I've read the mtl of it. I think it's a great novel. Writing quality is good. World Background is kind of overused but I haven't read a novel about genetics that is as good as this one so I gave it 4 star instead of 3. In terms of Character Design I think the author did a good job. Especially with the many possibilities of character personality because of the Diverse background of it. Btw, If I was in this world I might also awaken my genetic point at my right hand increasing my speed.
