Year 2056, in a city in the Yuan Jiang Su Jin area. On top of a ruined, shattered six story residential apartment sits a teenager wearing a combat vest, militaristic trousers, and alloyed battle boots. On his back is a hexagonal shield and equipped is a blood-shadow battle knife. He sits there silently on the edge of the roof. At this time, the sparkling sky was shining and there was a refreshing breath within the air that blew towards him. However, there was only silence within the ruined, deserted city, with an occasional howl that makes your heart skip a beat.

There are uge issues with the translation quality: I am myself a french reader, but I still noticed a lot of translation problems.

Before reading it, beware that arround the 900 chapter, the translation team changes (from translation nation to qidian - Nyoi-Bo Studio) : the author IET is already messy with numbers and in a novel where you measured strength by the use of values, from time to time, these values changes and it's difficult to follow. The translation from translation nation is already not great but it becomes worse... more>> with Nyoi-Bo Studio, that has really done a poor translating job...

Aside from the translation quality, I had issues with a few things:
-some chapters that are really useless and you just want to skip them fast,
-the quality of the story is really good at the begining but as soon as the MC can rely on treasures to survive, it becomes boring, as it was with Stellar Transformation when the MC obtained something.
-the description of the univers becomes messy toward the end because of the lack of explanations, maybe some notes from the Author would have been welcome here,
-the plot at the end is badly introduced and seems forced, in fact, I was so annoyed I just stopped 90 chapters before the end,
-IET tries a lot to emphatise the "Will Power" allowed from the Chineese history in the first 500 chapters and it can be annoying as it is the basis for the MC cheat until toward the end.

Overall, this novel from IET is really bellow the others and if you have already read Coilling Dragon and The Desolate Era that are really good novels, then just skip this one. <<less

At first it starts good and promising, later...

... more>>
Spoiler

After the Horned Beast Arc and space travel

[collapse]

Everything stop making sense, unrealistic romance that seems forced, just to say that MC has a wife, then magically turning her immortal just for whatever reason Author want.

MC doesn't always seems OP, he in most cases is the second or third in rankings, s*upid foreshadowing like...

Spoiler

Extra elimination in Tournaments and Loser Brackets that require extra fights, so MC Loses so he can go for the extra fights.

[collapse]

Then it happens, this repeats too much that we are not even surprised.

TLDR: worse IET Work. <<less

This novel is one worth of 5 stars.

First of all, the main character LF, is a genius boy with a crazy like spiritual force, famous in his school, easy to talk with etc...

He is poor, very poor, and although he is hardworking, you can tell that he has no great ambitions other than securing his family. it was to the point that the reader would just find his family as a dead weight. Cripple brother, bullied father, and they only make him troubles.

In love with a 'mysterious background cliché' girl, but he was only satisfied by watching her, and the same for the girl. the romance is dull, and you may even find it suck to ship the both of them, but LF is in love, and he seems monogamous.

Now about fighter. first a person needs to have an above average fitness level 900KG power, 25m/s speed and above average reaction speed. later there was a 'genetic force' and 'cultivations manuals' that was presented, 'cultivation realms'.

LF 'crazy' isn't a hotblooded character, there was a guy that kicked his father, but other than sending him to jail for 5 months or so, he didn't kill him like the other xianxia troops. kill buddha kill god. he even boot l**ked some young master to avoid offending his background, sadly, the bootl**ked young man head flew the next moment bcz of his arrogance.

Supportive Characters are great! Hong The First strongest man in the world is someone that you will like better than the MC. he is carefree, strong, funny and Op!, the same for the second strongest Lightning God.

They are great characters that made the story refreshing!

Universe is presented later. The story remind me of God Level Demon, as the earth would have catastrophes coming from aliens.

What I dislike about the novel is the fact that the twin children and the wife of the MC are always left behind by him, and hostages bullshit. As I said before, dead weight.

It should have been better if IET gave him some time with his family before leaving to explore the universe.

I'm dropping this novel as I'm tired of it. Through out the novel I felt that the MC powers up way to fast, that lead to many side characters to be left behind and forgotten. The MC can pretty much overcome anything and get overpowered gear.
Spoiler

"If you can't pass try harder, if you can't that means you havn't tried hard enough"was how it was like when he got the star tower accceptance thing, that any powerful enitity would vie for.

It's barely even a Sci-fi at all. Also for some reason for me many stories in chinese novels degrades onces the character leaves their home planet, maybe its just the power creep.

Similar to IET's others work, the MC start w in a weak region and makes his way, as his cultivation goes higher and higher, his perspective also grow larger and wider.

The world building and character development is good.

Overall, a good novel, worth your time. Despite the fact that IET's novel tend to follow the same pattern, it's really well done and well written.

So this is my first time reviewing a novel so let's make it short....

Its a Fantastic novel, in the first few volumes that is.

Its starts of in a semi futuristic post apocalyptic world where mutated monsters run rampant, which forced the humans to coop up in protected cities.

... more>> it too has a sense of mystery like how the apocalypse truly happened or why did mutations happen, so it intrigues you to read on.

so after a considerable time reading you reach to the end of the first few volumes but all of a sudden the author dumps you with a head full of information, and just skims upon the previous questions you had which leaves the novel full of plot holes.

and so it begins to become repetitive as hell where you can easily predict what's going to happen. So the rest is all about getting OP and wreaking the bad guys and so on and that's about it

(yea I I know, I know I said short but swell) <<less

I like the series. It's a mix of universe adventure and xianxia.

But boy when I mention racism and Chinese glorifying in the comments in Qidian, I get blasted for it. They say it's pride and not racism. (Who are they kidding).

The Author must be an old school style chinese patriot.

going into this novel I wasn’t expecting to enjoy it as much is I did. The reason for that was because this novel was written by IET. I am not a huge fan of IET and the novels of his that I had read before I started reading swallowed star (couple of volumes of stellar transformation and coiling dragon) I didn’t enjoy. One main reason I didn’t enjoy those novels is because the novels added sci-fi elements to a traditional style world, but this was not the case for swallowed... more>> star. SS is set in a futuristic world, so the elements of sci fi make sense (to me).

The main character of this novel luo feng, is a nice guy, who cares about his family a lot. Unlike other mc’s who get really lucky and find something on the ground that helps them power up, so far luo feng has solely relyed on his talent and hard work to become stronger.

Spoiler

i consider his spiritual reading ability a part of his talent

i recommend reading this novel if you are looking for something that is fast paced, has a lot of fights (between monsters and other humans), a lot of power ups, and a main character who doesn’t kill everyone because they looked at him funny. If you are afraid that this novel would be too different from IET’s other works, no need to be afraid. There are still a lot of elements in this novel that are similar to other iet works.
Spoiler

like different worlds (only have read this from spoilers, so it hasn’t been mentioned in normal translation)

[collapse]
ps. I like to mention in this in all the reviews I write, I am writing this review when the translation is at v5c34. So if anything major happens in the later volumes that changes the novel (could be bad or good), I will update this review. <<less
