Survive the darkness, see the light
There is no right or wrong, it just depends on which side you are standing on.
To be a god, or to be a man.
To be good, or to be evil.
Just what is…the highest order of weapon that humanity has?
——————
After a great catastrophe struck, the world was set back many years and humanity started living in anarchy.
With time, society started building up again and people were now living in walled strongholds and fringe towns across the land.
Humans have also become distrustful and ruthless in an unforgiving society where the strong survive and the weak are eliminated.

After an incident, he gained supernatural powers…

- The rhythm is not too slow.
- Despite all the ludicrous situations (normal in comedy) there seems to be some good plot waiting and possibly a sound world building.
- The secondary characters have distinct personalities. Although it is too soon to see if they will develop, the author made a reasonable job at it in SMGL.
Many parallels can be made between this story and SMGL. The biggest one is putting... more>>So we start the story in these Strongholds, which are all that remain of Earth after the destruction of civilisation. With a background full of radiation and the nominal ruler being large business groups (consortiums) which own the strongholds, humanity is pretty much limited to that small area. Further, the radiation is improving all the fauna and flora of the wild, making it even harder for humanity. It's also the same radiation that causes the rise of superhumans, which the consortiums are desperately trying to control and understand. Our main character is Ren Xiaosu, a refugee living in the outskirts of a stronghold with his (not by blood) younger brother. With a system/mental palace that allows himt to increase his physical attributes (only Strength and Dexterity) or to a limited extent copy other abilities, he has to survive with his increasing family in the threat of the wild, increasing military tension between the consortiums and other superhumans. Another thing to note is that we gradually learn about the world along with Ren Xiaosu, he's not brought forward in time nor does he have any memories of the past. So there's a decent sense of mystery going on which I'm trying not to spoil while writing this. Also we're not in the bronze age here, humans have retained a lot of technology. But it's concentrated in the hands of a very few people. So don't go assuming superhumans would instantly btfo any tech they see, its very much the opposite. What vibed with me
Detailed and Consistent World building
Pretty much what it says. MC does become way more powerful but the early 'bosses' (irradiated animals / plants) don't suddenly become weaker. Author maintains a decent sense of mystery throughout even if we know it's probably WW3.
Believable Characters (for the most part)
Characters have their own motivations/personalities apart from either being with MC or against MC. This is more prominent in enemies because the MC has practically 0 conflict of interests with his allies, despite a couple of them being on opposing sides. Either they happen to work with MC or the MC with them but we never see any strain on these relations no matter what.
Conflicts don't boil down to Good vs Evil
Author seems to understand that most people have their own motives and that true Righteousness isn't a thing that exists anymore. From the refugees at the lowest tier to the Consortium owners at the top of the food chain, everyone has their own motivations and conflict is to be expected. It's honestly refreshing that the author doesn't need to dedicate an entire chapter before a fight to vilify the enemy by talking shit, it's often a matter of survival: Either I die or you do.
Limited Involvement of the System
Despite being a part of the story, unlike other 'system gag' novels, this one only functions in the background. There aren't too many quests, the attributes that it shows are just Strength and Dexterity (associated with muscle fiber amount and density respectively).
Short Chapters
1500 words per chapter is way too little for a story as good as this one. There's still around 600 translated so that's a neat 900k+ words to read. There's no useless descriptions though so it's basically equivalent to 2 million words of Xianxia.
Mild Sexism
It's not that female characters can't do anything. But they're more often than not shown to be doing other stuff like working in factories instead of a more active combat or leadership role. I'm still a bit conflicted whether I can even call this sexism, given that this has been true for most of history.
Racism/ Nationalism tags
As of chapter 602, I have seen none of either yet. The story has been mainly focused within the borders of China (or what remains of it) and even then mostly in the western part. People outside the borders have been just said to occasionally fight at a particular stronghold but no further details. Eventually I'd expect some nationalism in the form of MC not wanting to lose to external enemies but the author has been smart enough about conflict so far that I"m doubtful it'll turn to the 'China Numba Wan' type of nationalism. No clue about the Racism tag though.
next is the tags after around chapter 100 they don't matter.
cautious he is not, tells people who have tried to kill him important information and allows them to black mail him over nothing, like the blackmail wouldn't work because they would have to turn themselves in too lol.
clever he is not, he doesn't use his abilities much and when given a chance to use them to advance himself he just lets that chance go. Most of the other tags don't show up till WAY later and most of them are barely in it like system sure he has powers but he barely uses them. All characters that will be future somethings* like future friend or love interest get a pass on all logic and character of the main MC, like the MC is very un trusting its a good character trait but he will trust random women and its like oh I bet 100% she will be a love interest later and she won't die, it ruins it completely

- And handsome!! (。ŏ﹏ŏ)
His little cute brother is a fresh take on all the novels that all only use little sisters or literal useless damsels in distress that only bring misfortune. Here his brother is very important, because to the MC he's number 1 top priority even before... more>>
