Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

With the end of the world nearing, a terrible pollution disease swept through the world.

“We call it mutation, but perhaps the history records of later generations will call it an evolution.”

The world of the evolved was particularly competitive.

Today, that person’s head split into two. Tomorrow, that flower would grow fangs. The day after that, that fish would climb ashore with its legs…

Lu Yan: And I am merely an ordinary doctor who treats the pollution disease.

*

Patient A: When I first grew 18 tent**les, Dr. Lu came and cut 17 of them off for me. He’s really a brilliant doctor!

Patient B: I am a poisonous mushroom. My spores are highly toxic and can be parasitic. I gave birth to hundreds of thousands of microspores, which made it worse for my already not-so-wealthy family. Dr. Lu helped me practice family planning when he came. This great kindness will forever be remembered!

Patient C: I have eight mouths. I was a picky eater and only ate meat, so I set up a slaughterhouse for this purpose. But then, Dr. Lu cured my picky eating. This woman of faith is willing to be a vegetarian for the rest of her life in exchange for Dr. Lu’s happiness and well-being. sarcastic smile.jpg

Lu Yan, the top of the food chain, the eternal god.

Actual rating: 4.5 (＃＞＜)

I enjoyed this novel. I went into it expecting something different; the summary is a bit misleading, as the patient's "testimonies" are all pretty sarcastic. (Despite that, one sentence in particular holds true!) However, it still managed to keep my attention. The worldbuilding is really interesting, and I like the way the powers were set up, as well as the explanations for how exactly the MC has them— he's not powerful for no reason, though it'll take a while before it's explained. Like a lot of... more>> other reviews said, the romance isn't exactly a main focus, but it does serve as a driving force behind many decisions made.

Spoiler

The MC's "younger brother" intrigued me a lot, and the explanation for the kingfish, the MC's origin from the abyss, and the existence of the first world line played out quite nicely. Probably one of my favourite parts, alongside Sheng Qingyang.

[collapse]

I did feel like some aspects of the ML's character could've been expanded upon better, though, as well as some of the deaths of the antagonists, who had been built up to be very formidable only to die without much fanfare or description in the text. Probably one of my only complaints.

I don't advise this people to finish reading this with the second translation linked to here, by the way. It's genuinely worse than the MTL, often skipping many paragraphs, repeating the whole section twice, having very inconsistent translations for terms (there's at least five different translations for the term "Enlighteneds"), and it even mistakes one character for another (how on earth do you mistake Feng Qing for Lu Yan??). Another reviewer said that it could be badly-edited AI, and I have to agree.

Overall, it's a solid read, and I'd recommend others to read it. And if you liked this novel, maybe read High Dimensional Invasion, written by the same author ^_^ <<less

This is a really interesting work, something reminded me of The Passerby, He Turned out to Be the World-Ending Boss. If you liked that novel, then you will like this one, and vice versa. But only if you don't put romance first. Both stories are also unique, it's just that there is something remotely in common.

But this MC is not as OP as the name makes us believe. He certainly has extraordinary and useful abilities, but he still has to fight for surviving throughout history. I liked the process of... more>> becoming stronger, just by reading the title and description, I expected something different.

I am also a little surprised that there is not a single review mentioning
Spoiler

the "younger brother" of MC. To be honest, I'm very curious: where did he come from? Was he what MC's father had "sewn" into him? I also didn't quite understand if they had communicated before, but it seems that the "younger brother" really appreciates MC. And what does this have to do with pollution and the Apocalypse?

[collapse]

Anyway, I read the whole story in one gulp and am very intrigued by what's going to happen next. I recommend it. 9/10, but don't expect romance, the story really isn't about that. <<less

Amazing world building. I love it but a little lacking in romance ~ its like one of those dungeon instance for each case but its not a dungeon instead just solving pollution all over the world. By changing the country to a district tho it does make it seems like the world is so small. The adventure is fun but sometime ML presence is so low I feel like yanyan was dating the system instead~ I do enjoy the system n MC conversation tho. So yeah u want action pack... more>> adventure read this if u want romantic n sugary moment its very lacking here ~ nevertheless it's a great novel. Translation by second life Translation is great but not so by the second translator because too many missing paragraphs or line. <<less

A pretty unique novel with interesting world-building + steady progress!! The system is like a neutral narrator who gives an omnipresence view (kinda like a 'cheat') to everything, but it doesn't feel forced or take away from the novel I actually quite like it and find it really.. different?

Usually the MC would have to be super smart to piece everything together for the audience to get the big picture, but here it's the system who tells the MC straight up what's been going on.. It's actually quite nice and a... more>> good change of pace! No annoying anxiety about the plot, but the way the MC handles things are still very interesting to read.

The romance is actually really really sweet and pure, ML is a big dog who wags his tail (dragon) -- there's no domineering president, but a very cute lead! Honestly it's very refreshing -- I was wary of it at first, but once it's established that the gong is a cute puppy boyfriend type -- I feel safe with the novel.

Most of what I find fascinating is the world they built in this novel... it's really well-done! The immersion is great -- it also has a large cast of characters. Suuper recommend to give a try even if you might prefer something more adventurous, I think it's still a good read, honestly it's.. some scenes are so absurd but in a good way, it's very creative. Funny in retrospect <<less

Rating: 4.7/5

The whole premise was interesting the author did not slack with the world building. Unlike other apocalyptic novels that employed the use of zombies this novel went the less common mutant evolutionary route. It was refreshing.

While reading this novel I came to realize again that I really like psychopathic/sociopathic MCs and I am not sure whether I should be worried. But then again, my like mainly stems from their rational thinking and lack of emotional outbursts, making them the no bullsh*t kinda people.

The ML was less cold than I... more>> expected, judging from the novel cover picture. He was a "dog dragon" as the MC's system so fittingly dubbed him. Loyal and always happy to see the MC.

Despite the dark theme of the novel that included a lot of death, slaughter and gore I found this novel unexpectedly humorous at times.
Spoiler

The dynamic between the MC's deadbeat dad and the octopus guy was pretty funny and unexpectedly casually wholesome at times that I could not take the dad who was supposed to be a villain with major conspiracy world domination urges seriously.

Then there is how the enlightened were treated in general. On one side you have the radical "they are not human" faction treating the enlightened like dirt and objects and then you have the official general treatment where the enlightened are treated like children/little ancestors. Having a whole team dedicated to fullfil their every need and be happy and cheer for them when they find love. It's f***ing ridiculous, but funny nonetheless.

[collapse]

It got a bit confusing as the story progressed. But I don't know whether it's because of the plot itself or because of MTL. I have reason to believe that mtl plays at least a part in my confusion as the mtl often translated a contextually negative statement wrong and made it a positive one.

The plot itself was also pretty convoluted with all the dreaming, hallucinating, time travel and conspiracies. It was no wonder that I often had to stop in between reading to do Sudoku to give my brain a break. But I suspect that I have ADHD so the novel might not be at fault after all (considering how I take a break while reading with basically every novel). <<less

This was one of the best modern apocalyptic survival novels I've read recently.

The characters are well defined have their loves, beliefs, their determination whether good or bad. The antagonists are multifaceted which makes you understand why they are doing what they have done and make you sympathetic to the pollutants.

the MC and ML are cute together seeing how the MC learns to love is a lovely journey. There are also other love interests and it's done in such a way that you don't feel annoyed or cringey at them.

the world... more>> building is amazing. The power system is clearly explained and stuck to. And the tensions and relationships between the different factions are well written. The MC gets powerful quite quickly but he doesn't feel overpowered which is something I thought would happen due to his talents.

overall this novel is brilliant and I highly recommend it <<less

This is about my first time writing a review, since English is not my language. I am on my knees, whoever thought of translating this gem, kudos to you. So engaging, bro, I had nightmares about the content reading it before going to sleep (I woke up in a cold sweat). I was frustrated, I cried, I was nervous, I was relieved. It was SO worth it. I didn't come here to talk about the story, I came here to say that I loved it, so this is not a... more>> review, it's just my feelings, saying JUST READ IT, you won't regret it.

About the story, I love Lu Yan (even his personality that sometimes makes me go ARRRGHHHH) and the fact that we learn the information along with him. Xunan, the dog dragon, is cute, I feel a little sorry for him. My third favorite is Zong Yan (07, the little firebird) and I have a special place in my heart for the System and TongTong, the little butcher, because I keep imagining how cute he can be!! The villains are ugly like real villains, I liked it fr, there is no redemption for u folks. And the logistics team taking care of the heralds like family and ancestors makes me very satisfied. Everything has its pov and it is worth discovering everything, whether good or bad. Without saying more, I am giving 5 ⭐ to the author, this precious angel, for making me ignore life and studies to read this. <<less

Just finished the novel and will say it was really enjoyable. Agree with the rest of the comments that about half way through the translation from the linked sites were rough and even repeated chapters, but it’s still manageable. Also agree with another comment that if you enjoyed The Passerby, He Turned out to Be the World-Ending Boss, this novel will also tickle your fancy.

If you are looking for pure romance/slow-burn that is typically found in these series... this definitely isn’t the story. Like... it’s there but it’s not the... more>> highlight LOL MC and ML are definitely cute together though and I dearly love reading them and the desperate struggles.

Personally, the highlight of this novel would have to be the MC and System’s interactions. The usage of the system here not only helped push some scenes forward but also provided a good amount of character and fun to the chapters.

Spoiler

MY ONLY QUALM IS THAT WE NEVER LEARN WHO OR WHAT THE SYSTEM IS?? UNLESS I COMPLETELY READ OVER IT?!?!?!

[collapse]

Anyways, was a fun and fairly quick and digestible read. A little confusing due to how plot connects itself in some parts, but overall doesn’t require you to use your brain too much. (Unless you are trying to figure out which character the MTL screwed up in naming lol) <<less

This novel is good. The apocalyptic world like this is very unique.

MC is very calm and stable character. Its funny that for him surgery is like a past time.

ML is considered as the strongest warrior and he is indeed strong. He is not OP though cause there are strong pollutants that even him cannot defeat alone.

There are side characters that I like and im glad that they had a happy ending

... more>>
Spoiler

The world in the novel is a reset. In the first timeline humanity lost, MC, ML and all the side characters MCs and MLs friend died either sacrificing their life fighting or succumbing to the pollusion making them monsters. This is why the system is guiding the MC to a different path.

I just hope that the octupus guy had a better ending since he really love MC and helped protect MC couple of times.

This is just so good. One flavorful novel. The world-building, writing, plot, and characters make the story believable. I, personally, love everything about it. I recommend this for readers who looking for apocalypse genres that not involving zombies and are full of plot.

Love it!!!

Finished reading!

Honestly one of the best apocalyptic novels I've read so far. The plot is too good, the romance is just there but not too much. It's really unique cuz most of the time the apocalyptic novels I've read are so generic that it got boring to read. So read this cuz you won't regret it!!

Very bland story. I thought this was yaoi? Forget yaoi there’s not even romance, can’t even be called shounen ai. That’s how dead it is. Oh well read at your risk.

ML is supposed to be op but tbh he’s like a child to me. Doesn’t even have the air of maturity to me. Would have regarded him as a side character going through puberty and character development.

After wasting my night to read this, now I have to search for another one. What a waste *sigh*. It’s completely apocalyptic tho so... more>> if you’re interested go ahead but the romance is like 5% of the plot. And there’s no real action <<less

I read till 51 of translated version and then, of course my brain said: let’s kill some gray cells and and MTL rest of book... But I don’t regret lost of my brain cells.

As I said I mtl most of book so I might lost some points, but from what I could understand it was great story with explanation for everything, not like some stories where BOOM! and character is OP and no explanation as of why. Extras also further explain some things. MC is cold (as seen in tags)... more>> u can’t find any pink hearts 💕 in story but I could still see that MC and ML love each other.

Not sure if the review helps anyone but in short: it’s quite complete, explained story without any annoying loopholes (at least in my opinion). So if u are interested go ahead! And burn some 🧠! <<less
