Being a Koi in a Survival Game

Description

An inexplicable danger lurks within the harbor, where numerous containers emit a pungent stench. Suddenly, crew members fell ill and began to wildly attack other people. The text that appeared out of thin air told her that this was a survival game.

Fu Anan thought that it was just a dream, and that she wouldn’t be affected by it once she woke up.

It wasn’t until the game told her: She would die if she didn’t follow the rules of the game. She would also die if she didn’t survive for at least thirty days in the game…

Unknown danger on the cruise ship; An isolated island that suffocates people; creatures inside the fog; Floods that engulf everything; Epidemic with no cure; Constantly collapsing lands……

How should one survive in various natural and man-made disasters, and in environments where resources are scarce?

It's just everything you could ever want from survival game novel with female protagonist. And I really mean everything, there's a lot good novels in this genre, but I've never seen one packed with so many good things as this one.

To be precise:

-cute, smart, strong, hardworking and funny female MC - you simple really like her

-sometimes she win thanks to luck, sometimes thanks to strength, sometimes thanks to being smart and sometimes thanks to others - it's awsome, because in other novels you often have repeatable scheme where MC always... more>> win thanks to just one of this things

-male lead isn't annoying, sometimes you would want him to pamper FL more, but still he gives her a lot of benefits, ever surrenders some important ones to her, so at worst you don't mind him

-FL often plays games without male lead, so you can see how good she is without any help

-other male friends are pretty good too

-GAMES ARE F*CKING AWSOME - one of the best thing about this novel is how diversified survival games are. Every one is diffrent, with time you get more and more variants; time, difficulty, number of players, number of NPSc, origin of players and their strength, ways to survival. Sometimes people are the biggest threat and sometimes FL have to cooperate to maximize chances. Sometimes she just need to hoard resources, and sometimes there's no way to collect resources at all.
Spoiler

People, aliens, beasts, plants, parasites, volcano, tsunami, heat, cold, epidemic, even lack of air and many more things that kill at every turn. Later to keep things intresting you get special items and superpowers.

[collapse]
Even better is fact, that games are not copies of some well knows schemes, but are original, so you always wonder what will happen next.

-level up system is balanced, there's no game where FL can win without effort even in later part of games, but she still gets satisfying benefits from them as points, new skills, props or just more knowledge about system. There's no "after few games, lead can solo clear any game with hands tied"

-rules of games and system are clear, precise and make sense. Usually players have to abide system principles, so there's no situation where protag finds bug and clears level without effort thanks to it.
Spoiler

The biggest ease Female Lead used was mobilizing whole city to fight and kill all parasites in a city instead of hiding whole time. And still fighting whole city of enemies only let players to end game 2 days earlier, so in no way it was a simple win

[collapse]

-plot is fantastic; extensive, intresting and suspenful. More than one thousand chapters, you find something new about world and system in almost all games and still there's a lot you don't know.

-there's enough romance for someone who wants to see romance, but not too much to make someone unintrested feel annoyed reading about it

-many minor characters, often with texts from their own perspectives to better visualize how hard is to survive for average players, how many ways there are to die and how small things are major objectives for them.

To sum up, there are lot of fantastic things about this novel and the best one is huuuuuuge number of varieties which keep things intresting no matter how many chapters you read. <<less

I'm so lucky to have found this hidden gem!!!

This novel contains a multitude of survival games, heart racing romance and a well rounded plot. In short, it's a story of a normal but lucky girl and how she came to rule not just her world but pretty much the universe. She is not OP. Throughout the novel we can see her growth. While she is very cute and lovely, her head is in the right place i.e she isn't a virg*n Mary character if you know what I mean. Albeit... more>> she did rely on ML's golden thigh in the earlier chapters, you can see her showing her brilliance in key moments even in the beginning. She is never overshadowed by stronger people than her a.k.a the ML. (That is a problem I've found in other female lead plots. MLs seems to have more screentime than the FMCs themselves and that really irks me.) It was delightful to join her on her journey. So MC is rated 100000/10.

ML is very loving of MC. He fell first and he would literally die for her. What I do not like much about him is his arrogance like a typical CEO in a cliche romance novel. He was so cold to MC at first so much so that MC literally took him as a father figure. 🤣 However I must say even though there is not a lot of romance scenes, their love is sizzling hot. He is a 9/10 for me.

Other characters, especially the Mang brothers, were fun to read about. Whether they were villains or side characters, they weren't two dimensional if you get what I mean.

Overall everything about this novel was top-tier. The ending pulled everything together perfectly. There is little to no plot holes in this novel too. I sincerely request for more novels like this with a female MC in a survival game type plot. It was a rare and refreshing read.

Highly recommended read. <<less

The world of survival genre novels is so thin on FMCs that I'm so happy just to find a halfway decent one where the FL is actually competent. This novel isn't without its flaws (which I will get into in a sec) but it's really well-rounded as a whole.

To start with, I'm pleasantly surprised by FL. She does get carried by ML for a few games in the beginning, but she quickly grows into someone who can carry other people in games by herself, and after the first 5 games... more>> or so the author starts putting her into worlds by herself more often. I like that they don't go into worlds together and have to meet up, so she's always alone at the beginning of every game, and she even saves ML sometimes! She's bright, optimistic, competent, clever, and ruthless when required. Huge thumbs up.

The variety of games is also really well-done. For the most part they're all 'survival' rather than 'horror', but the few that are horror are pretty creepy! Author has a pretty broad imagination.

Now, downsides.

The big main flaw of this novel is that for how imaginative it is, it has way too many Chinese webnovel stereotypes. For instance:

    1. ML is a Cold and Aloof Domineering CEO, a Flower on a High Cliff. He is better than FL at everything, handles jealousy by asserting his territory and doesn't know how to have a mature conversation. Once FL plucks him from his high cliff, he likes to have a lot of s*x and frankly, he doesn't seem very good at it.
    2. Not much in the way of girls helping girls. Most of the side characters are male, with the one exception of FL's BFF, who to be fair is fantastic. Most female side characters are cannon fodder or there for the face slappings.
    3. The top 4 players in the world consist of 3 Chinese and 1 Russian. The Russian is putting up a good fight, but I'm fairly sure that it will eventually be 4 Chinese. This is good and bad, since it spares us all the agony of Chinese LN authors writing non-Chinese characters.
The novel is also really long. It's never really boring, but it's so long that it's hard to get all the way through without taking at least one break.

However, despite these issues, it is absolutely worth reading. I really enjoyed myself and finished the novel via MTL. It was definitely kind of a slog at the end but glad I did it! <<less

Great premise really enjoy reading apocalypse female protag and the plot is unique good world building and mtl. The only downside for me is that what happens in most female MC where the ML is better than female MC in every way to the point ML is god like but shes getting stronger so I hope atleast they will be in equal footing mls more of a protag at this point just tired of that trope, but the plot is really great keeps you hooked.

4.5 if you've ever read all those Korean guy survival powers novel where most females love him and thought why can't the MC be a girl and also be good at survival? This is that novel. It has the same trappings of those kind of Korean guy novels with it's own refreshing perspective. It's not necessarily a super new idea, but the ending is very complete. I think if you like romance more than survival, you might enjoy this more.

The MC is a silly, slightly lazy, dense, yet clever, hardworking,... more>> strong-willed, and lucky foodie. The ML is a typical badass but a bit different bc he is extremely supportive and believes in her - helps her grow stronger. Their s*xual tension is steamy, the chasing was aggravating bc of the MC (low-key wasn't consensual only bc the MC is dense and avoidant), and then their relationship is loving, protective, and caring. They are never dumb bc of each other. True power couple. Ruthless when need be but caring and sharp together too.

The trappings are like other Korean survival guy novels: slight internalized misogyny (only 2 girls: the MC & her bff are considering fully good / main characters), personally if you say tent**les more than 10 times in a novel with a girl MC it's sexist /jk but not lol - tent**les why?, slight undercurrents of xenophobia/ nationalism (ex. Chinese or Korean etc. ppl are better than your country's) not as bad as other novels tho imo, everyone loves the MC or hates them lol. Besides that I just disliked that it took 120+ chapters to get to the actual ending although I understand why bc the ending is very complete.

The good thing is that the MC grows from thigh hugging the ML to being trained to be super strong to being a leader despite her initial insecurity. Her personality is likeable and you do feel like she has her own backbone even from the start. It gets addicting to see who and how they will survive the games to the end. Everyone feels strong and everyone has their weak moments including the MC. Also, it's her character setting to be clever in game but slightly dumb about herself so I'm not surprised she didn't think about practicing her abilities in game. She's not a genius, but she is a survivor doing her best ok (not like she's dumb, she just has different priorities).... If she's too op ppl will say she has plot armor, but if she's not op enough to be thinking of every single thing, some ppl will think she has a "prog-shield"... What is that?

Her greatest op power is being strong willed and lucky. My favorite combo. The plot is solid. The romance is quite nice. The ending is pretty creative. <<less

Its giving Hunger Games, Divergent, The Walking Dead, Corpse Party, The Purge, Interstellar, or other dystopian horror survival shows and games out there, all mixed in together. So imagine the FL's struggle trying to survive each one, it doesn't help that as each arc goes on her special ability is publicized so a lot of the other survivors target her. She learns how to kill so she won't be killed with the training of ML and his friends. Initially, she did depend on ML but as she gets transported to... more>> these "games" the ML isn't always present so she also learns to be independent. And boy, she's very much capable on her own.

A really fun and entertaining read. I read the MTL and it's doable, I almost finished it but I felt like my brain's capacity to distinguish the right grammar from wrong was deteriorating so I stopped. <<less

The best thing about this novel is how fun and engaging the instances are. Yes, they're life and death scenario, but each one is interesting. You never know what's going to happen next. The MC doesn't just get to hole up in some safe zone and pass while munching popcorn as everyone runs around frantically. There's layers of difficulty in one round, upping as the days pass.

Being a Koi means she's lucky. However, it's not a super-super power that acts up every few lines in the story. It's almost like... more>> a vague supernatural sense, bad gut feelings, and her affinity to space (I mean, practically all survival novel protagonists end up getting a space ability these days, so /handwave). And well, yeah, she opens boxes and is generally more lucky than the normal person.

It feels nice in terms of character power-up progression. She's a weak little kitten at the first arc, just a normal person forced to engage in life or death scenarios. Her gut feelings lets her avoid some difficulties. She's then forced to trained to get stronger by the ML and his teammates, and then starts training on her own initiative when a creep overpowers her in one of the arcs. She becomes more professional as she goes on.

That's it on the good points. I would love for this to be a no pairing story. It just makes the female protagonist stand up a lot better. With a male lead around, he's literally her biggest buff, but also a walking red flag disguised with a big shiny gold bow.

ML is another cookie cutter domineering CEO-type ML. Typical cold and aloof guy with enough "dignity and pride" stuffed up his bum that it's questionable he has any bodily functions outside abnormally aggressive bed functions. What does no mean? Nothing to him. He decides to save MC a few times before allowing her to join on whim. As long as people act fairly sensible around him and aren't obviously greedy, he (and his org) doesn't do big moves. He's rich enough in the original world that I'm pretty annoyed with the story that real life money plays a huge role in the games -- because if you can't buy anything in real life, you can't do much other than scr*pe by in game since it drains real funds. That part is the most unenjoyable part of the story because wow, normal players just get to suffer like rats while these billionaires with /handwave diamond mines/ just manage worry free in regards to food, drinks and weapons. Also, lol if you anyone expects MC to ever be better than ML in any particularly substantial way.

Long rant about the ML and the romance (Do not read if you like the MLs above) :
Spoiler

MC is outwardly a bit dense, but she is "sensible and knows her place". Early on when ML realizes his feelings, she is uncomfortable about the idea of a relationship. Sure, ML is hot, but he's her "sugar daddy" and golden thigh. She doesn't want to mess up the relationship in case it bungles up (cause he's literally the billionaire funding her credit card for in-game stockpiling). She's told him she wants their relationship to remain employer/subordinate, but you know what a "no" means to him? He drops kisses on her like it's a gift from god when they're alone, leaving her shook and running off every time. She hasn't even accepted he likes her yet. Bro doesn't even move his morning wood away when she ends up accidentally pressing against it during sleep and then frozen like a popsicle pretending to still be asleep because she doesn't want to draw attention to herself (he's literally staring at her from another character's POV). Such an awful HR disaster if we were in an American office scenario...

Oh, there's also a level of food control because they're training her and she's still addicted to junk food, so she keeps hiding junk food and he keeps taking it away from her. This part is an especially personal ick because I have issues with people trying to control my food intake growing up. I understand it, considering they're training her to survive, but... ugh. She is a fully grown adult and can make her own choices.

Re: never being better than ML: she kills an impossible boss way out of her league, yoinked 10k points from the system when most normies have 5 pts or a bit more and complained that normal humans can't survive and use points with the meager points they get just by completing games. She tries to brag about it, only to be told when she tries to pay for ML that if anyone gets rewarded over 200 points, he gets 20%. So he earned 2k off her 10k. Damn billionaires.

Speaking of ews, during an in-between arcs in reality, a reoccurring creep realizes who she is in real life and starts plotting. I wish they killed him early on, but he keeps escaping and gets more obsessed. I prefer random female in heat characters after the ML than reoccurring men after the MC because at least you don't have to overly worry about being overpowered, kidnapped and SA'd when he escapes to get stronger. Because in these types of stories, any men that come back more than once or twice are more on par with ML and will kidnap and terrorize FL. :) There's a scene where ML taking MC on a reward outing (a date she's not aware of) because she's dazed from training. ML then proceeds to pressure her on her feelings (admittedly, it's just light nudge "you're not rejecting me, it's more like you're telling yourself not to like me") that she tries to avoid the situation, runs off without any money/phone/etc, and gets kidnapped by the creep. Ugh.

And the worse thing is? After she escapes, the creep also escapes again! What a let down. And lol, it's indirectly because ML stepped on the toes of the opposing organization so they want to step on his toes. Also, this scenario where said opposing organization's leader forces MC to team up with him. MC has no choice but to submit to other characters and the ML seems to get jealous, lacks the ability to communicate, leaves the situation seemingly unresolved, and the MC thinks she's the one who needs to apologize. She gets advice from random forum people that she should use her body to get ML to forgive her. Ick. ML proceeds to appear, sees her in a skimpy attire and then has the typical marathon bad s*x with her. Gross.

Excerpt from ch880: "It only took Fu Yizhi half an hour to turn Fu An'an from full of energy to crying. Fu An'an spent the entire second half of the night in a cycle of running away, being caught, and being carried to bed; running away, being caught, and being carried to bed."

Seriously, what are with these marathon-s*x ML that can't take a no for an answer? You need to satisfy your s*x drive so badly that your partner's general well-being is an afterthought and it's okay as long as you bring her an orgasm?

The idea that a character's verbal protests or exhaustion are somehow overridden or made irrelevant because of physical reactions is such a messed-up way to handle consent. It reduces intimacy to a power play, and it often feels like the female character's agency only matters when it's convenient for the male lead's possessiveness or obsession.

And worse, it gets framed like "oh she said no, but look, she enjoyed it in the end so it's fine", which is such a harmful message. Realistically, being overwhelmed into pleasure doesn't erase discomfort, exhaustion, or the wish to stop. It's a deeply problematic and lazy trope pretending to be "romance."

[collapse]

Ever since they got together, it's been an up and down see-saw whether the gross dogfood they're feeding me overtakes how interesting the worldbuilding/system/gameplay is. After the scene with LS in the caves, I'm currently teetering to find something else to read. :T <<less

One of the best apocalyptic and sci-fi c-novel.

If you want an OP FL that had worked her way to be strong, this is it.

It was quite addicting to read this because of the different settings of each games though some of it weren't original but seeing how the FL developed her strength step by step was quite satisfying. The FL doesn't only relied on her luck to be complacent but strived to get the best version of herself. There's right amount of laziness and comedic antics but when it matters... more>> the most, FL finished the job.

At the start and middle of the story with how OP the ML and FL are physically its a complete opposite of their EQ. The Author dragged their romance sprinkling a bit of spiciness and sweetness but still uncooked at 600+ chapters. Also at some chapters the MCs were childish when it comes down to their feelings for each other. But there'll be character development as the story goes on and will gradually improved at chapters 800+ It just that the ML is overbearing and possessive till the end but loved FL more than his life that he basically lived for her.

The adventures and challenges were enjoyable especially the camaraderie between the ML and FL were good. The intricate mentor-student relationship which developed into deep love and trust, having unbreakable loyalty for one another were gratifying to read.

Each story of each games were good especially the Horror ones made me scared at some point, the immersion on this novel was great.

The worldbuilding and the characters and their relationships with the MCs will never get you bored as each story arc and how these stories were piece together you'll want to read more.

As much as the author tried to tie lose strings at the end of the chapter it failed to have a closure with these side characters:
Spoiler

"Ye Changfei". The author had highlighted this character in the first stories and became one of the first villains. I had high expectations on how this villain will be wiped out but then he faded into the background. Even the 2nd ML "Lu Shen", I felt he was a favorite of the author, unable to make this character suffers but greatly attached to the FL just to say there was a 2nd ML when clearly the ML can dispose this 2nd ML with the characteristic and personality of ML, I just felt bewildered that the 2nd ML was left unscathed.

[collapse]

Probably because of hundreds of chapters and characters, it's hard to keep up with some minor plots and minor characters but this will not hinder how good the story was. Still worth re-reading it. <<less

I’m really liking this novel! It’s such a shame that I can’t read Chinese and I’m stuck at ch 33:| The translator’s doing a good job with there being just a few mistakes here and there, but that’s normal considering there’s no one to edit or proofread their work. I really do hope you (the translator) are reading this: you should use disqus instead of google for comments. If you need any help please message me here, I don’t know how to contact you otherwise.

Interesting novel. Well paced and nicely detailed narrative. Author got inspiration from interesting movies for some game worlds.

MC is as attentive to detail as author, clever, knows herself very well, can bend and stretch, and very lucky. She started out weak (like a normal person level kind of weak) so she had to depend on ML for some situations at first but she doesn't entirely lose her independence as she still has her own wit and is very cautious and measured. As she gains more experience she grows and gets... more>> stronger and can even carry.

There's just a few points that I don't think was done very well (or maybe it was done to show some realness (?)). I don't consider it much of a drawback, just annoying.

Spoiler

• The first thing that ever peeved me was her attitude to FYZ. For someone as cautious as her, she sure treats him too laxly as someone who showed blatant harmful s**ual intentions towards her.

'Beaver City' and 'Love Town', one worse than the other, both times ML saved her just "luckily".

Third time she basically has zero defence. Had it not been for FYZ's weird temperament and incomprehensible patience, she'd be a goner. I was so close to quitting just because of this one point.

• Another peeve is how she doesn't take time to explore and practice her abilities more. Not the psychokinesis she practices in the real world but her space ability itself. She does get some free time sometimes in the game world which I think she could've used to explore without draining herself empty. I feel there's so much potential she let slip past.

She already did great in 'Feeding and Food' (vs giant worm) , as well as in 'Absolute Zero' (vs He Yu) . Which shows that her ability is clearly more than just taking inanimate items in and out but it came up to nothing. Heck she even pocketed a whole living earthen building.

So it frustrates me even more that when she has to face up pvp with stronger players or stronger bosses she gets ab*sed just one step away from death. Then just suddenly realise some potential and miraculously survive then forget whatever potential she realised until urgent needs arrive again. I have a soft spot for non-OP MCs but I dislike very obvious protag-shields.

[collapse]

As for ML, well he's the typical cold and powerful ML but not dislikable.

Each games, overall, are done well. NPCs aren't too stup*d.

Just pausing at c1138 cause it's too long for my preference but will definitely come back. Will edit review when I finish it by then. <<less

Although I selected 3 stars on top, I think I would give this novel a 3.5/5 if I could select it. There are a ton of positive reviews for this novel, so I thought I'd give a more neutral perspective on it. Keep in mind, I'm about halfway through the novel so some details may be a bit off.

Strong points:

  1. There's satisfying character progression, especially for MC, she levels up in a way that feels natural and she doesn't become dependent on the ML.
  2. The games are varied and actually difficult. Nobody coasts by in these games, they require at least a little bit of effort and no one is 100% safe. MC is lucky but her luck only grants her the chance to survive, she still has to work hard to pass the games.
Now, for the downsides of this novel:

  1. Almost every woman is out to get MC or her man. Excluding her BFF, her grandma, grandmas in general, and several very minor extra characters, practically every viable woman who sees the ML schemes to seduce him and dreams of replacing MC or just hates MC's guts, etc. This wasn't obvious in the beginning and these girls don't show up in every chapter but when they do, a lot of these girls act like wolves in heat and the ML is their only antidote. It's crazy how if a girl is described as "pretty" or "well-groomed" or something like that, you just know she'll be diagnosed with a terminal case of ML-love-sickness-itis or I-hate-MC-must-replace-her-titus. It's very disappointing, and it's made even more disappointing by the way the author had a game based on a real life issue affecting women. That arc was so full of potential for the MC to do a whole girls saving girls moment but it was just one scene, and essentially 0 empathy from the MC. This is the biggest downside of the novel and it's made reading it a bit painful.
  2. The second problem I had with this novel is the powerful but somewhat 1-D men. Now, 100% honest, I love novels where everyone falls in love with the MC, I'm just that shallow ok. But these men are pretty shallowly constructed I think. I believe the ML is the one of the few with a SINGLE family member mentioned, although I could be wrong. Again, haven't finished the novel, so maybe there'll be a really big unveiling of their pasts later on but it seems a little unlikely. These men really act in a relatively uniform way, they see MC and think she's cute/interesting/pretty, and then it's very routine from there. I think I even read the very famous "She's kind of interesting..." line a few times. ML gets a bit more fleshed out, and I do think he might get a deeper backstory in later chapters but the others probably won't have the same treatment.
Summing everything up, this is a decent FL power up novel. As... more>> another reviewer mentioned, it is the female equivalent of those Korean survival novels, and you can get the same thrill of seeing the MC power up, but at the same time, just like those novels, this novel does feel shallow in several aspects. There was one time when I even thought I might've enjoyed reading the novel more if the BFF (Zhang Yuanyuan) was the main character of this novel. Well, that's it for this review! <<less

My favorite sci-fic novel, it offers a lot of different survival apocalypse theme so it's very entertaining to read, the character development of the Female Protagonist is really good.

She didn't start in the game as someone whose very strong and can clear the game without difficulty. No, the FL in the start is weak and have literally have no idea on how to play the game, on how to survive in those kinds of apocalypse and she didn't just rely in her good luck because the author really write the... more>> journey of the FL on becoming strong player in the game.

Spoiler

The FL is very lucky person, she could always get the space props in the games. Being lucky is her golden finger to survive in the games.

I love her personality (sometimes even if the novel is good but if the personality of the protagonist is irritating, you just don't want to read it.) , she's not cruel and ruthless but she's not also s*upid to save everyone in the games she is in.

The Male Protagonist is the typical ML of the novels. Cold, strong, and basically can do everything.

Spoiler

But one thing that I like about him is that he never harm the FL and he doesn't have any love interest other than the FL. I also appreciate on how the ML is teaching the FL to survive in the game, teaching her to fight, not to trust in everyone she see. But sadly I didn't see any character development in the ML, and sometimes he's personality boring AHAHAHA

Overall, I LOVE this novel. I reread this novel about 4 times already since the first time I read this last year and still my number one sci-fic fav novel. I recommend this for you to read if you love apocalypse, survival and infinite flow genre. <<less

A very unique premise. MC is dragged into a game where she has to survive worlds with different challenges, otherwise she'll die in real life.

The title really lives up to its name, the MC is VERY lucky. Almost Mary Sue levels except her wit and skills outweigh the part that luck plays in her survival. Long story short, she won't survive without her skills and she genuinely trains and strive to be better, but her luck does make surviving in the worlds much easier. Not to mention, her luck with... more>> meeting the ML and being under his protection and finance power.

Spoiler

Your finances in real life will be the same in the game. ML is super rich and MC is given funds by the ML to help survive in the worlds. Finding and spending on safe accommodation, weapons, and supplies early on in the game makes their survival rate high from the start. Honestly, some worlds just don't seem winnable unless you have money. For example, the oxygen world. I don't really see how other players can survive that unless they have the same spending power to stockpile oxygen from the very start.

ML is your usual rich, cold, mysterious CEO. As much as I like his covert affection for MC, they're both dense about it and their interactions with each other always center around surviving and finding advantage in the game. I don't really mind that though since the romance feels much more realistic and it highlights the MC's individuality.

I could see how the story may seem repetitive for some. The game normally has a set timeline where the first 10 ten days allow you to explore and find out what will happen and so on. Seeing as this has 1488 chapters, I'm expecting this novel to be quite stretched out. I'll just have to wait and see since I don't want to MTL this hahaha. But for now, I am really enjoying this book and I can't wait what other worlds she'll have to survive in.

On a side note, thank you so much to Huntress for translating this! The translation is super high quality and worth the wait rather than MTLing it!! &Lt;3 <<less

Overall, this novel is quite well made. The most prominent is the world building and the exciting and challenging survival plot. FL is also not an overpowered character from the start, but develops as the story progresses. As an adventure and supernatural story, this is tier S, but in terms of drama and romance, it is very mid. Like most Chinese novels, it focuses too much on the MC without considering the other characters. Even ML has a very ordinary, two-dimensional, and less deep character. The people closest to the... more>> MC are also only discussed briefly, then forgotten throughout the story. Very bland in terms of dynamics between characters.

In the end, this novel is still very interesting and worth recommending to people looking for a survival game-themed novel, but not for people who are into romance.

3.5/5 point <<less
