Because Webnovel divides up chapters, so a book that is 331 chapters on Qidian(the original) site can be 600-1000 chapters on Webnovel. If you read it on other sites it will be roughly 331. Why roughly? Because sometimes authors post things that aren't chapters, like taking days off to attend a funeral, and different sites count those differently.
So, this author's work is a bit complicated. He seems to have dropped this at chapter 280, but since I only read up to ~170 I'm not sure if he wrapped it up instead of dropping. Then he wrote something else, ended that fairly fast. Now he seems to be rewriting a new version of this idea called "全民逃荒,我的物品能升级"(the name is the same as this novel except for the last 2 characters being the above instead of "合成"), and translates pretty much the same. It's at chapter 240 and updated regularly. They aren't the same novel is all I know.
For those curious, it hasn't been updated since 7-15 if I remember right, and was on chapter 63. Maybe on a break or dropped.
It's an OP fantasy with bad pacing. The MC gets everything he wants immediately with no struggle. Men wept that they weren't him, women were wet when he walked by. All that might work for some people that love OP stories, but then the pacing makes it worse as nothing really feels important. Hell, there are face slaps of people that weren't even mentioned until they were slapped. Btw, I think I feel for the translator. His ability is a heavy truck but all people who can transform seem to be called "Motorcycles". It likely was impossible for the translator to tell when the author meant actual motorcycles and when he meant "Motorcycles".
So, I read 119 chapters of this a while ago with google translate and it was fairly unique. He has the type of simulation where you can get things like 'gold' etc. type of ranked talents. The only problem with that is unlike similar novels all the talents are kind of warped. The world is also partly setup as an interstellar world with travel between same solar system planets, etc. despite being fantasy.
Title: 全球御兽:我能看见进化路线 Author: 柠檬复制体 Status: Complete at 872 Chapters I haven't read it but weirdly it seems to be a 17k novel, not Qidian. I thought 17k had it's own English site, but maybe they made some type of deal.
I read the first dozen chapters on Qidian and it's pretty dumb, a mix of power fantasy and face slapping. About the only plus is that, excluding the audience reactions, the story moves fairly fast so people liking fast action stories might like it.
Title: 百年修仙,我快死了金手指才来 Author: 极西行者 Status: 308 Chapters and Ongoing I read the first 25 chapters months back on Qidian and liked it but put it aside since I was mainly looking for Sci-fi. My note was that it was decent, similar to Farue's review, so I might get back it someday when in the mood to read more fantasy novels. Rated 4 stars since I've only vague memories that it was interesting.
Title: 全球游戏进化 Author: 剑无云 Status: 541 Chapters, completed I haven't read this and might be weeks before I do, just put 4 stars as a placeholder.
Just type alchemist in the search bar, you'll see the word 'krypton' in the title too. Btw, the two novels are not exactly the same even in the first chapter I read on there. It's like someone is rewriting the others novel with name changes and other minor changes. No clue which is this copy is distorting the faloo novel, or the faloo novel is copying a Qidian novel.
Title: 超时空相亲 Author name: 业火之剑 Status: 273 chapters and ongoing I might try this next week, it seems like it might be interesting. The author hasn't written anything before that I could see,
I agree at least partly with the others pointing out the racism, though it really is more nationalism than racism (at least so far). My problem is that it feels almost like a speed run of a face slapping novel. The author doesn't pause to explain anything and just skims past important events to get back to half assed face slapping.
So, this is on Hiatus while the author finishes up his other newer novel that is also in this weeks picks, "What Is It Like to Have a Teacher Who Is a Sorcerer". He had originally abandoned it, but last month he posted an update that he will come back to it.
