It's like fallout and arcanum combined, but terrible Beside the setting absolutely nothing else makes sense in this novel.
1 - The mc's motivations and thoughts are a mess, to begin with he is like a log "yes, no" just an emotionless vessel.
2 - everything is just random, with surface level explanations or no explanations once so ever.
3 - other characters have even less depth than the MC. 4 - the places visited have no descriptions "a house", "a person" they are all faceless people and when they finally end up showing "emotions" they're random an unjustified.
The doctor pair adopts the MC, Then wants to get rid of him the next chapter.
Then The Female Doctor cries about their choice despite the fact THEY don't have any meaningful emotional connection, THEY are the ones who tried to sell him off. I want to smoke what they smoke.
The instructor, puts 14 year olds in mortal danger, because apparently killing kiddos makes more sense than training developed Intelligent, dependable adults.
I guess in Authors mind it makes more sense to put the survival (economy) of whole city on the shoulders of 13-15 yr olds. Brilliant.
The instructor says I will kill you myself If I see fit in one chapter, 2 chapters later acts surprised when half of the squad is wiped out by goverment scheme.
MC gets shot at with a crossbow... then patiently waits for the enemy to KINDLY reload a FREAKING crossbow, when he himself HAS A KNIFE IN HIS HAND.
End me, end me now
In other words, he's going to be a Hunter, Knight, and Architect and god knows what else. But it's still fun to read. What I don't understand is why people are complaining about the darker parts of the story. There are some valid points, but it's much simpler to take it with an open mind. Explanations for the following:
1. Let's just remember the premise here. This new world seems to have some resemblance of order, but really, if people don't want to let them know things, then they probably won't know, especially if they're grunts (read: scavengers). So like typical grunts, the higher ups will send them out with poor equipment. Because grunt --> kept in the dark and fed shit. After all, they aren't as important as the hunters and they technically aren't supposed to be in any danger. If you think about it in another way, they're literally workers that are trained to grab anything they might think is useful and run away from monsters without fighting them head on if they do show up. Because they literally can't.
2. The part where he has to integrate the parasites from the young splitters? People are pissed off that their scythes are cut off and he's practically keeping them as livestock? Let's say he doesn't cut them off. Why in the world would he make things harder for himself? The author spends a good chunk of the chapters explaining how dangerous a splitter is, both young and mature. Not to mention it's a legendary beast. So I don't see the problem with nipping a problem at its bud. It's just suicidal if he lets them keep their scythes.
3. Prison arc? Prisons aren't f*cking rainbows and sunshine. So there's no reason to expect the MC to be treated well when he's thrown into a den of wolves. As dislikable as the arc might be, it was a super integral part of the change in his personality. He no longer trusts anyone without making sure he has some way to control them first.
TL;DR Scavengers are grunts that don't actually have much invested in them. Cutting off the scythes of a legendary beast that can f*ck you up is probably a good idea. Prison arc isn't pretty. Deal with it or skip it.
Let's remember that this MC isn't a good guy.
Romance is shallow as sh*t here, not to mention he seems to have sworn off on love. Probably won't be any of that for a while.
Instead, adoptive parents are willing to sell their children, teachers are willing to throw kids into the wilderness, the church lies to everyone to maintain power, the scientists who oppose the church's hypocrisy are willing to indulge in human experimentation, the warriors who defend civilization are happy to use 10-year-olds as bait, noblemen would rather kill a kid then tell their daughter they can't marry that kid...
I can only sigh at this gloomy gem.
It is a criticism with spoilers, but I will try not to write something that will undermine the whole reading of the novel.
Well I have to start by saying that I like Dean (Du Dian), it's just unfortunate that even the author does not like him. Dean is going to go through a lot of things in this new world, although he's very smart for his age, at the end of the day, he's still a kid. No matter how clever the child is, in the end, it will still be a child, and you will really have to see the dark side of the world to grow. Sadly, Dean suffered a lot until he understood this harsh reality and finally grew up.
Love can turn an intelligent and cautious person into an idiotic person.
Oh Dean... why did you have to fall in love? at the beginning of the novel Dean goes beyond expectations despite his age. He can keep his cool in desperate moments, very intelligent and hardworking, until he meets a woman and falls in love.
After Dean fell in love, he stopped training, lost his ambitions and just wanted to live a peaceful life with his beloved, what a pity he forgot that he lives in a cruel world, that was one of his biggest mistakes.
Dean is framed by the girl's father, and has been sentenced for 230 years in prison for theft, and not being enough, is in the worst prison where only the worst criminals
are thrown there.
This is one of the best part of the novel, it's very interesting to see him fleeing from prison.
One thing I have to praise the author for is his ability to leave his novel unpredictable.
I love it in this novel, this is the kind of romance you read and think you know what's going to happen next, and then there's something absurd that even in your wildest dreams you'd think such a thing would not happen. Two things that struck me most, was Dean's arrest, and a super unexpected thing that happened to Aisha.
Let's look at the part where he is arrested for example, I personally did not imagine it. It was very sudden, and I had no clue that something bad would happen, so he went out to do a mission, and the bomb arrives.
There are a lot of other unpredictable things that happen too, but the biggest one was with Aisha, I will not say much to not ruin it. rsr
The author hates Dean (Du Dian)
I'm not joking, really the author hates Dean.
Dean will have to suffer a lot to learn the lesson, the problem is that when he learns and after much effort he can get over his enemies, chapters after all his effort is thrown in the mud.
This does not happen once, but the whole novel. No matter how much effort he makes, even though people see him as a villain, and he has to battle hard to become a hero, chapters later his efforts will be in vain, and he'll have something even more dangerous and trouble to deal.
Not everything is a sea of flowers.
After many chapters Dean will leave the walls and will tend to understand the truths of the world, and help his wife, the problem is that the author has left some of the important matters without being commented, his old girlfriend, the savages, and now with all that already happened, I do not know what will be the end of the Dean, I really hope that in the end he has a happy life, but I think it will not be possible.
with all people gathered in one place and no desire to reclaim the rest of the world.
