killing his father who seems to be the main antagonist. And there's also some morality issues in the plot with them basically using poison to fight poison since once their index passes a certain number, they basically evolve into the monsters they are fighting. So are they even humans?

MC and ML will perhaps go through missions together or something but this is a MC-centric story and MC goes through the plot and missions alone with the system in his head. Heck, ML is like a minor side character as this point with as much screen time as a character in 1 arc. And here's the bummer, I really like ML T^T They have one of the nicer dynamics in a BL novel and yet they barely have much relationship development? That's a little sad. So just set your expectations straight, as of chapter 105, this book is mainly MC going through arcs and ML popping in for 5 min in between (except like 1 arc where ML had slightly more screen time for them to build a bit more rapport and major plot point but that was it). Also can I just add that MC has major big beauty vibe? He's attracting a LOT of suitors out of nowhere in the book from both the allies and enemies camp.

early on when SQY said he wanted to do the gaokao and his plan (since he wasn't human) was to knock out some poor student and take his place in the exams. Like lol?

ML screen time T^T

because he thinks he'll die soon

Ok I know that there was a whole arc about the MC time traveling to the past and helping the ML, which caused the ML to fall in love with him but other than that the romance between them felt forced.

Take the MC's "little brother" for example. The author took the time to build this mysterious character up and tell us that the MC who is not afraid of anything is actually afraid of him. There was so many opportunites to create suspense and show us why the MC was afraid but that never happened. This "little brother" character only really aappeared two or three times, which was disppointing.

Later on in the novel the storyline gets really confusing with the whole time travel thing that happens and the introduction of the idea that there is actually a God in the world. There are so many things that are left unexplained that it makes it feels like the author just wanted to throw in a curve ball but didnt really know where it go with it down the line. Like the reason why the God was there, why was it a baby, etc.

The truth of how that City/District that I forget the name of was fully infested by monsters, separated by The monster leader power is fantastic. It gives such a ghibli uncanny vibe to it, LOVES IT. But the battle execution in this arc are so underwhelming though. The monster leader of that city, Miss big snake (?) lady, your death is undeserving. I gotta be honest, it just feels like a king kong fight with how we gotta beat this HUGE baddie on top of a tower. Big snake lady is built upon how whimsical she is, and how she is rational/smart enough to do some negotiation. She DID build a butcher empire from scratch. So seeing her death are 'just like that' is a f-cking crime.

Then, how the city can still work like normal after the massacre like huh??? bruh there are literally tens of thousand of death there, and you are telling me a city can recover from THAT? with no citizen questioning it? like I get that china loves their ~privacy~ but I think it is outrageous how an incident as big as that can still be perfectly hidden under the rugs (No, there is no memory erasing power or devices. Even if there are, are you sure you can clean the blood, corpses, and unknown, possibly infectious liquid from every nook and cranny of a big CITY? (heck, or is it a province/district? I forgot). The point is, it is impossible to act like everything is normal and dandy when it has REACHED this point. A nation, island, or city gets locked down suddenly and you think other humans besides those in the organization/military/government won't have a way to sliver some suspicious information in/out?

The ML is great, loves his puppy dog (dragon) personality. Kinda similar to the ML from BAB, but here, our MC (the shou) is the one that actually looks like a piece of sh*t compared to the ML. He's a very good boy, done nothing wrong at all, nearly tears up at his diary in the extra chapters. It is funny how we thought (from the cover and his description from other character) that he has a typical 'cold to others, only sweet to his wife' personality. Nope, the truth is he just bears so much pain from his revolution, that others just treat him like an autistic child. The MC happens to have the ability to lessen his mutation rate, which is why he (could) only shows emotion in front of him. Before his surgery/evolution, he is actually just a chunnibyo teenager that want to save others and makes his dad proud.

the actual point that I want to highlight is the MPREG. Throughout the novel, we meet many breedable pregnant men. And here I thought our MC will be the same because of the very obvious statement the author leaves behind. In theory, MC should be the most pregnant-able on the planet, if he can't then nobody can't. But nope, his 'system' didn't want him to have a child so I guess it planted a permanent contraception in MC's body I guess... (even though MC should have complete control over it AND his body with just his identity). Me seeing the extra, no smut unfortunately : (, with the ML going "help, my boyfriend sulk at me because I f-cked him so hard that I breached his womb" and me going "omg, womb!", then I confused why is there further development when I suddenly remember the words 'system' utters at the beginning of the story. Man... the blue balled I experienced is... painful is an understatement as at that timeline I have binged read novel with the same 'blue ball' moments. Multiple disappointments stacked up at each other, but this novel still takes the cakes though, maybe tied with that 'women now imp**gnate men' novel.

The only thing I remember, is how that girl that holds the power to end this nightmare was so hyped up by the author right? Nobody know where she was hidden, no file about her other than the name of her power, all that bling. But she literally didn't do anything other than wake up and pass it on MC because the power was originally his. Also, the stuff with MC's dad, or his parents in general, are a bit underwhelming, in a similar fashion as the big snake lady me thinks. Very awesome plot twist reveal, it has a good handling by the author on the development too, but has an 'okay..' end. There are also MANY plot-important side characters, be it the power they hold or their close relationship with MC, that ends up with little to no screen time.

1. I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN WHEN I SAW THE LAST SENTENCE __ (:3」∠) _

2. When Shen Qing Yang died, I was truly heartbroken. He sacrificed himself to save Lu Yan, a bad birth and bad ending too, what a double knives, too bad that the extra chapter didn't give him more rewards to our beloved supporting male lead TT~TT why you are so nasty to cute little SQY!! QAQ I will take 0.3 points away from you!!!

Google search [全球进化后我站在食物链顶端 ao3] and the text in chinese is in yukihasu's profile. There are three scenes, one from CH138 and the other two seem to be from the extras can'tconfirm.

The MC's "younger brother" intrigued me a lot, and the explanation for the kingfish, the MC's origin from the abyss, and the existence of the first world line played out quite nicely. Probably one of my favourite parts, alongside Sheng Qingyang.
