Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Six months ago, tens of thousands of black phantom towers appeared all over the world, floating above the cities. Chemists, physicists, religious people… all of them could do nothing.

Six months later, people became used to the towers and no longer paid them attention.

One day, Tang Mo saw a flying insect crash into it instead of going through it. The next day, a sharp and clear child-like voice issued an announcement to all humans.

“Ding dong! November 15th, 2017. The earth is online.”

The black tower’s three iron-clad rules:

1. Everything is explained by the black tower.

2. 6 o’clock to 18 o’clock is the game time.

3. All players, please strive to attack the tower.

It's actually very easy to read. I understand it a lot, especially when it came to an end. I do not know if it's just me, since I tend to understand everything at the end. Back to the review, it's a very fun novel. No angsts— and made me laugh too. I'm still curious though, why did this apocalypse happen?

A pretty good story if you like both action and bl.

The only thing that irks me is the "the author has something to say" at the end of each chapter and in each of these fu wenduo calls tang mo his wife like NO PLEASE😭 but fortunately he doesn't call him that in the story.

Most people say it resembles orv but it is not true at all lmao, I guess they're saying this to invite people to read it scamming them LMFAO so if you want to read it cus... more>> of orv then I'm sorry I have bad news.

Other that this, it's actually pretty good and hilarious in certain moments, so yeah I reccomend it. <<less

A novel that made me think about human race a lot. The nature of it. The future of it. And everything that makes one a human.

I loved the MLs. Their love was so gradual but perfectly on time. Their characters were so so cool.

Honestly I don’t have the brains to understand half of the games they played and how they won. But I enjoyed celebrating each win with them.

Spoiler

Thank God they brought Fox back to life. I hated him at the start but he grew on me as the novel progressed.

[collapse]

Honestly the ending was bleak. But everything will be alright. The earth will heal if it’s people like the MLs that live on it. <<less

At first it really impressed me, I became obsessed and just wanted to read more and more, the entire plot of the games is very well done and super interesting. However, throughout the story the missions become predictable, even the most interesting ones I already knew how they would end, this bothers me a lot because what left me connected with the story was its eccentricity. And a personal point that bothered me was the MC's lack of emotional expression, he rarely showed emotion, and I always liked reading expressive... more>> and empathetic characters and his apathy bothered me a lot.
Anyway, this is a very brilliant story, every detail was very vivid and extravagant, it is a very interesting game especially the arcs and the monsters. <<less

I'm not sure where to begin in discussing how fantastic this book is. Earth Online is a plot-driven novel with comedic undertones in some scenes to lighten the mood before delivering some angst the next second. In comparison to other danmei novels, the tale and premise are quite unique.

Black towers began to appear all over the world, initially standing still and doing nothing, but after half a year, it began to speak and drew everyone into a survival game in which they must attack the tower and defeat the floors... more>> to survive and finally destroy the black tower to reclaim humanity's freedom.

Although the romance is slow and could be argued to be non-existent, you can tell how much they trust each other in the later chapters with how they've been with each other and experienced all types of tribulations and challenges.

The main character is very intelligent and calm, while the male lead is strong and stoic; you could say the former is the brains of the duo and the latter is the brawn. But that doesn't mean they don't have the other's trait; they are both very independent and witty, but they still rely on each other.

Side characters and villains deserve a standing ovation because they were all so well-written, whether they were major characters or not. They all did their part perfectly and contributed to a lot of the story's progression. And unlike the majority of the stories, this one features strong female characters rather than maiden-like ones.

Every game they played was brilliantly executed, and the story's conclusion was magnificent; without a doubt, highly recommended. <<less

Great arcs, great characters, great relationship, complex female characters, what more can I ask for. Loved that the main plot wasn't neglected- genuinely exciting. Loved that the male protagonist could keep up with the love interest. The pining, oh my god. Hit all the points.

There may be few romantic scenes, but the plot is well thought out, clever, suspenseful, perfect! The relationship between ML and MC is the best I've ever read. It develops gradually, they're partners, they respect each other, no gamesmanship or "no one touches my wife" style hatred of the neighborhood. Very good supporting characters!

Personally, I think this book was okay. I remember starting and getting semi hooked on the wonderous plot - until I got lost and turned my attention elsewhere. Don't get me wrong, I love the book - five stars. But I just wasn't all too satisfied with the lack of intimate scenes and the slow-burn romance. Throughout reading the book a second time when I picked it up back again, I was amazed by the games. Yes, they were hard to follow but I felt a sense of thrill and... more>> the urge to solve the puzzles before it was revealed in the story. The author was very creative in this aspect. The book had humour, it had mystery, it had danger. And I can assure you that reading this book is not a waste of time. Thank you to the author, to the translator, and to novel updates. <<less

The best unlimited flow BL I have read to date. Great World building and development of both main and supporting characters. MC and ML truly felt like equals which can be rather rare in BLs and both are very smart, reasonable and likeable. Very slow burn romance, but it makes sense considering the apocalyptic setting. Nonetheless, the chemistry is there throughout. The ending and explanation to how the earth went online may not have been the most well fleshed out, but that only makes a small part of the story.

I liked the characters and arcs but I felt like the story was a bit shallow even with the unholy amounds of world buiding. It felt a bit draggy in parts but overall the instances/games were very clever. It's plot heavy and romance is a not the main focus which I usually adore but I just felt like there was no progress at all? It just felt like a given all throughout the novel and it did not connect with me at all.

It’s lot of plot and light on romance, which is fine with me. At first the use of real fictional characters (ie Disney, Nintendo etc) was strange to me, but makes sense for the overall plot. The author comes up with some really complex concepts for games, the resolution of which you may have to read again to understand. This may be off putting for some, but it was a good read nonetheless.

That was actually really nice!

The plot and the suspenses and all of the games were really interesting and fun. I am a sucker for things (plot points) connecting so well from the start, and this one actually does! Which is awesome!

The comedy got me wondering if I could die by a second handed embarass**ent lmao. A really nice one!

This a 4+ star but let me tell you that if you're looking for romance as the main point this is not the novel.

MC and ML don't hide their feelings (when they finally recognize each other) but it's not their main situation since they're literally in the middle of the apocalypse and everyone is literally trying to kill each other. So yeah, not a great start for some lovely moments.

There are still moments of tension and they feel a palpable attraction to each other but don't get your hopes too... more>> high. I like both MC and ML but they're focused on surviving and understanding the new situation of the world they barely have time to sleep.

If you're more into action, puzzle solving and bad*ss MC/ML then this book is good even for people who don't like bl. I was one of those who was dissppointed by the lack of more "dog food" but it doesn't make it a bad novel.

Just think of this novel of another end of the world trope with bl undertones. Also MC/ML moments makes giggle so much so I wish there were more moments of chatting and banter between them but then again people-dying-and-killing-each-other stuff kinda make it hard :v <<less

I'm glad I didn't drop this. Just a reminder, some chapters in 30-50+ are boring. But don't give it up right away because I'm sure you'll regret it. There are a lot of redundancies, a lack of logic, and confusing contents but don't let it hinder you. This story is really interesting and great. You'll also love many of the supporting characters, not just the MC and ML.

Their abilities and props' names and uses are strange and funny but in some ways, it's useful too. The games are sometimes boring... more>> and confusing but often, exciting and thrilling. Oh, I'll tell you now. There's a lot of blood and gore scenes here. And the monsters are all scary.
Spoiler

All of them are from fantasy stories but in the games, they are bosses, and their behaviors are opposite from their real characters.

[collapse]
I can't understand how the games are played by the players but I didn't bother with that. I just focused on how MC completes them.

MC and ML are not very OP but of course their strong and smart. The romance is a really slow burn but the story is still good of course. There is a lot of fighting and brain usage which is exciting. The world-building and plot is so great

I really like MC's ability. It's not that powerful but it's very useful.
Spoiler

He can collect other's ability in various ways (collecting ML's ability is so hard for him and he even has to give up his *you-know-what*. Lol. But of course he loves it. Tang Mo: That's my greatest secret!)

[collapse]

There are a lot of lovable characters. You'll know them if you read it!
Spoiler

ShanShan, Xiao Sheng, Attack members, Tian Xuan members, Deer, Fox, Adrien.

[collapse]

Most heartbreaking moments:

Spoiler

When Xiao Sheng cried! 2x! QQ

[collapse]

Spoiler

When the players around the world cried helplessly. QQ

[collapse]

Spoiler

When ShanShan admitted that she saw his father's mu*derer. QQ

Okay. I'll not spoil anymore. I'll just stop here. You'll never understand them anyway if you hadn't read it yet hahaha. <<less

I loved reading this story so much! I really enjoyed the whole idea of the tower games & their associated puzzles were so interesting! Even if I couldn't work out the answer while reading, the novel clearly explained every reasoning afterwards (which I appreciate bc sometimes I have a hard time grasping the concept when it's kinda brushed over).

It is good, characters are very likeable and feel three dimensional. Binge read it in a week (give or take a few days).

I wish Tang Mo's (MC) ability got a little bit more explored tho... or maybe just the abilities in general? No matter, it was an enjoyable read and if you're looking through reviews to decide if you want to read it then I have only one (1) thing to say: why aren't you reading it yet?

5/5, would recommend

YAYYY another action/plot-heavy novel that I enjoyed a lot. I liked it more than GUEE surprisingly and honestly, everything that happened wasn't even that plot twisty. The romance is kind of slow-burn not really (bc MC liked the ML before they even met, he just didn't know and when they did meet, it wasn't romantic or sped run <-- not spoiling, you find out quickly). I cried unexpectedly and laughed and freaked out and exclaimed and yeah, you should read it. I hate long novels mainly bc I get bored... more>> halfway or it gets repetitive, which kind of did happen but the characters and quirkiness were enough to get me back into it again. This one is all worth the length tbh.

ANOTHER SURPRISING THING is that the novel somehow pulled off me getting attached to the characters without realising. It's only after certain occurrences that it hits that I'm actually attached to them. <<less

Love, love, LOVE this story. I will state right away though that this is not a romance heavy story by any means. With that being said, I still can't deny the fact that I absolutely love this couple! There might not be a lot of romance and fluff, but the storyline is very well thought out and interesting to read. To be honest given the premise of the story, it would be a little unbelievable if the players were just taking time out for romance.

I really enjoyed all the effort... more>> the author clearly put into fleshing out all the characters, main and otherwise. They give you a very twisted look into the darkness that some people have just barely contained within them, but balances that out with the love and respect for life that is contained in others.

While there are definitely some ups and downs, both the MC and ML are fairly OP, so there isn't a huge sense of crisis too often during the story. Some of the games they play are pretty interesting, others are a little confusing at times, but most are explained pretty well by the end of the game.

Spoiler

One of my favorite parts of the story was reading about everyone's different abilities, escpeially once Tang Mo (MC) collected them in his very cheap little book of abilities.

[collapse]

If you are into the apocalyptic kind of storyline, this is definitly for you! Don't expect to much romance, but a mature and trusting relationship slowly built through out the story. All in all it's still very sweet to read.

Spoiler

Side Note: There is no NSFW in this book, there are like four sentences making reference to loaded guns being fired, but that is it. Good or bad, you can decide.
