Original Story: 4/5

Translation: 2/5

I gave 4 just because the original story deserves it.

... more>> Translator basically has butchered the story. Author's voice is none. Internal monologues are translated as MC talking out loud, alone or even during the fight and modified to fit. You can hear him asses the enemy during the fight in dialogues tag, and it sounds annoying.

Some texts are paraphrased beyond the original meaning. It shows as story progresses and those meanings are different than before.

Some paragraphs are added by AI. Gazing at the stars and thinking about navigating future challenges etc. Is common addition probably due to Chatgpt or something losing context towards the end. If not AI, that's even worse.

I would rather translate with AI myself and read. Horrible prompting.

I sometimes doubted until I checked the text for AI detection, which normally AI detection won't work on translated contents. <<less

Set in a perpetually dark, sunless world, the story follows Qin Ming as he begins life in a rural village, relying on hunting to gather resources for cultivation—a process described as rebirth. Early on, hints of a tragic past emerge, though these memories remain elusive due to a convenient head injury. The narrative proceeds in a fairly straightforward manner, with conflicts and character relationships feeling somewhat shallow. Overall, the plot comes across as a typical power progression tale, focused more on leveling up than on deep character or story development.
