Description

A gloomy mist shrouds the land.

Amid the ruins of the city, traces of humanity’s past have yet to fade from this forsaken ground.

The glory is gone, and now humans are hiding like rats beneath the flicker of flames. The black sun hanging high above is a symbol that this place has changed hands—this is their paradise.

Beneath the surging depths of the sea, something is rising. In the void, heavy whispers echo, while strange, veiled silhouettes observe in silence.

A glimpse of malevolent compound eyes flashes from beneath the bed, while an evil presence lingers in the otherworld. Tempting whispers surround the ears, as terrifying entities wander through the ruins.

Evil thrives and grows, while humanity’s spirit dims and loses its light.

Lu Li holds salvation tightly and walks toward them with unwavering steps.

It's not that bad, but it's not that good either...

Only... I forgot what kind of person Luli was. I mean, all I can see now is just, ... more>>
Spoiler

well, a taciturn saint?

I'm pretty sure Luli was described as indifferent and cautious before. And here I am, doubting whether what I read was just a hallucination

from the 'door, ' since his silence now seems to mean "I am not good at comforting others, " or "talking to others is exhausting, " or "I am not good at clarifying the truth, " rather than simply because he doesn't care or doesn't mind them.

My tiny bit of interest vanished when

this pair of lovers made an entrance to build up Luli and Anna's romance. I certainly don't mind any romance between them, but I also can't stop feeling disgusted by Anna's obsession and Luli's belief that his unhelpful words and silence somehow help elevate her obsession.

So, bye. I'm dropping this here. <<less

I read over 800 chapters; after that, I started just scrolling quickly through the rest, so my analysis is based both on what I read thoroughly and what I just skimmed through.

At the beginning, the novel does a great job with world-building and setting the atmosphere. The depiction of a ruined world is well done, as are the relationships between the characters. However, everything starts to fall apart once several ancient gods are introduced. The universe is clearly inspired by Lovecraft, with that theme of overwhelmingly powerful and incomprehensible entities... more>> that drive people insane just by being perceived.

That’s where the problems begin: with so many gods and cosmic beings, the plot starts to lose its direction. The protagonist often survives purely due to plot convenience, which becomes more and more obvious. Even so, it was still somewhat tolerable — until the point where the protagonist

sleeps for over 20 years and wakes up in a future that’s even more distorted and chaotic.

Before that, the character Anna had disappeared, and upon waking, the protagonist’s focus becomes finding her. From that point on, the story really falls apart. I completely lost interest and started skimming through to the end. There, I saw that things get even crazier: Lu Li ends up in a psychiatric hospital and still only cares about finding Anna (gave me strong *Black Souls* vibes — like “Where is Alice?”).

[collapse]

In the end, the story is completely insane and gets more chaotic with each chapter. The ending is the most absurd part of all. I wouldn’t recommend reading it, as the plot totally goes off the rails — but it’s decent for passing time, especially since the beginning is actually good. <<less
