Developing Superpowers in Another World

Description

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

Tu Ran accidentally transmigrated into a different world where technology coexists with supernatural beings, two worlds on the brink of merging. Before transmigrating, she was a quiet and gentle girl.

After transmigrating, she carried a machine gun, tossed grenades, chased after aliens that were running amok, and was even called a heartless female demon.

In this world, Tu Ran just wants to survive, but her original identity doesn’t allow it. While everyone else avoids the aliens, their “s**cide squad” has to mingle with them on the Threshold every day. A slight misstep could turn them into food for the aliens…

As she keeps surviving, Tu Ran accidentally discovers that the inner cores of these aliens are extraordinary. Eating them grants her certain abilities of the aliens.

And this secret hasn’t been discovered by other humans from the different world yet! Hehehe, Tu Ran is ecstatic. Since that’s the case, she’ll temporarily stay in this other world and develop superpowers.

Tbh, I was a little bum about no romance but after reading the novel, it was the right call. There's so much world building and the FL tends to do better by herself so a romance line would have felt subpar compared to everything else.

There are a lot of characters introduced and it can be hard keeping track of them all. However, I like that we get a name and reappearance of characters. I love the FL ruthless nature as it doesn't dumb things down just for the sake of... more>> plot. I think the main downside is her character change immediately at the beginning. I get the FL is smart but she adapted way too fast to a war killing dystopia world from a peaceful one. I also felt that she went through a lot of effort to prove her point of not following one of the guy characters only for her to work under him again on the next chapter. It kind of dispels any character or setting that was built up previously. Like others said, the ending got messy as the plot expands to more than the premise. The author did a good job introducing the "expansions" but the ending was anticlimactic. <<less

I read it to the end with MTL and can definelty say it's a fun novel. It has no CP which means no romance. The first arc is quite serious and the second one is world travel. Won't spoil too much, but at the end everything kinda makes sense and loose ends are tied nicely.

Basically the story is about our protagonist, who transmigrates into another sci-fi word, which has gate (s) to another ancient alien world. The two words are connected, and has luck would have it, she literly transmigrates... more>> into moment where the original dies in another world and has to figure out how the hell she will survive, thrust into fight with alien and now with humans, due to now having any previous memories. After all, every pioneer, which she is, are questioned quite throughly after coming out of another world due to parasitic aliens being one of species there. Thanks to that, we follow along her survival journey, where she fights aliens and starts a coup on corrupt government. You know, normal things that happen in transmigations. 😂 If you are bored and like sci-fi themes, why not give this novel a try. Dw, no bad endings here. <<less

Great.

I needed something to pass the time and found a female protagonist with action, adventure, sci-fi, dimension travel novel and jumped through it and BANG! This what I get I love it.

Read the MTL in one go. No regrets.

As what was written, female protagonist with no romance! Novels should have more like this!

Highly Recommend for those that love female protagonist with no romance and action-packed novels. 'Cause there's so many fights.

The rest is as @Maisiki had said.

Holy sh*t yes. A definitive 10/10. Add immediately to my hidden gem collection. The protagonist is level headed, brave, selfish but at the same time selfless in the best way. She knows her weaknesses and she found allies to compensate on said weaknesses and rely on them. An example of this is that she's adaptable, strong mentally in the sense that she can handle whatever the new worlds threw at her without loosing her cool. She's not a super genius so she made allies who are but this doesn't mean... more>> she's dumb, she's smart enough with her actions that she can even suprise said geniuses.

Her strength is buildable. She has the potential. It's also a weak to strong story without the frustrating parts.

But most of what I love most about her is she keeps her cards hidden until the very end. She basically aspires to be a person living a pretty chill life, doesn't have any big ambitious to be the strongest, the riches or be the ruler. She just want to be well of enough to eat, sleep, and chill whenever she wanted but alas life/the novel is full of a**holes who want to conquer the universe disrupting her peace.

No romance but she has a very adorable pet so enjoy minor fluff ❤️ Also this is just me but minor very minor yuri if you squint at the end. The ending is written beautifully and very satisfying. A definitive 10/10 read through the whole time I'm reading it. No regrets 🩷 <<less

A hidden gem indeed.

A sci-fi, dystopian FMC novel with no romance? Yes please.

Great world building, brilliant plot and a fantastic main character to boot, this novel really had it all.

Honestly the cover of this novel deluded me into thinking this was some funny, relaxing novel but boy was I wrong.

Brief synopsis: ... more>>
Spoiler

MC wakes up in a body with the same name as her and the first thing she sees? A huge chicken trying to get at her innards. After she somehow manages to survive and was like, I can pretend to have amnesia, the new world was like hell no. If you cant answer this security question we will kill you. She is suddenly plunged into a world where everyone is armed, the evil capitalists decide your life and you cannot trust anybody. Her story starts from there.

[collapse]

P.S. I want a different novel with the adventures of the best friend.

100/100 Recommend. <<less

I loved the first part, then it kinda changed genres to world travel, alright... and the ending (like last fifth of novel) was meh.

For the start, MC isn't perfect, but she's relatively smart (aside from being a show-off). Usually pretty ruthless; kills enemies / threats / scum when she can, no hesitating! Cute parts are adorable, non-cute parts are fun... only negative is a too strong protag aura imo.

Later on problems start to pop up. Author forgetting stuff that happened, abilities just kinda get shoved into "MC is awesome", and... more>> MC loses her brain for a while... not the worst ending, but definitely not the same quality as the start.

Overall, read it! A properly ruthless female MC is super rare, no romance means she doesn't suddenly become weak so ML can save her, and she's not overwhelmingly flawless and OP (okay she definitely has a lot of that, but it's within readable limits). <<less

The first three quarters of this novel is great, but the ending is hot garbage. The stakes got so high and it ended up as MC saving the universe somehow. I really enjoyed the beginning where MC was developing individual superpowers and working to stay under the radar from detection. The world that MC transmigrated into is very advanced but dystopian with a lot of surveillance and government control over it's citizens, so MC really has to work hard to avoid giving herself away and pretends to continue to be... more>> the perfect soldier. Her relationship with the most prominent male character (I forgot his name but his last name is Xie if my memory is correct) starts off as her being disadvantaged but they eventually become partners of some sort but then gets forgotten in the plot as gets more convoluted and messy. Which is a shame because even though he was cold blooded and ruthless, he was an interesting character to play off the MC. Also I love me a ruthless character who does whatever he needs to achieve his goals. <<less

4/5 stars

No romance and the female main character is badass. She kills with little to no hesitation. While this is a refreshing change compared to other novels, it doesn't really explain how she is okay with mu*der so easily.

The first half of the novel has an interesting plot but it gradually expands the stakes beyond what was established and doesn't circle back to all of the plot points.

Overall I recommend especially as a break from annoying or weak FL novels.

When I started reading this, I'd thought that it was completely translated so with the cliff hanger at chapter 204, I desperately searched for the MTL version but only found the Chinese version. Google translate came through again!

The world building is amazing and like other reviewers said, there wasn't any romance. Yay! There was friendship and camaraderie... and lots of action.

For example, even though she wasn't the real Tu Ran who was best friends with Xi Chunzhi, she found a way to bring XC out of the coma while dealing with her job (on call for 24 hours and rest for 12 hours) and the federation politics; she made sure Pang Pang was safe and close to a food source before leaving the Threshold and she helped the 3 girls by not only training them to survive but also introducing them to the inner cores for the eventual separation.

[collapse]

I love Pang Pang! The arc where they are travel pals was cute. I know he's a chicken/pheasant but I kept imagining an overweight fluffy penguin.

An excerpt:

When Tu Ran and Pang Pang are hiding...

Spoiler

Ch. 143/144... Pangpang, who had been quiet all the time, stretched out the tip of his wing and poked her. Tu Ran looked at it questioningly.

Pang Pang leaned close to Tu Ran's ear and said in a tiny voice: "Pang Pang wants to poop."

As soon as it finished speaking, Tu Ran smelled a special smell."Did you poop?" she asked uncertainly.

Pangpang lowered his head shyly.

[collapse]

Spoiler

So glad that Pang Pang becomes the room mate!

It is no romance but the first part of the story involves a male character so much that I genuinely thought the no romance was a bluff. He really has quite a lot of presence in the novel and I thought he might be the ML but thankfully he was/is not. I don't really like him.

It's a new take on having superpowers / different abilities, plus they can be stacked, unlike in zombie novels where it's one or two elements. Very interesting premise on crossing worlds and having gates/doors to... more>> different worlds and how they are all connected in the end.

It's not a light read but it's not that heavy either so it doesn't leave you feeling depressed. All in all it's a 8/10 for me. I did enjoy it although the ending was slightly lacking. It wasn't abrupt but I felt there was no proper closure. Or to put it another way, the novel is a gift box that had a wrapping paper but there was no ribbon (extra finishing touch). <<less

From the title, description and second chance tag, this novel would seem like any other regression/transmigration novel with protagonist having advantages and exploiting foreknowledge. But the beginning isn't like that at all. It starts slow where protagonist with no idea had to discover everything and tried to catch up with others. Even the acquisition of abilities was not entirely discovered by herself and she had no power even at ~50 chapters. Just a warning not to waste time if you are used to faster paced power development and expecting different.... more>> On the other hand, the world building is not bad, the translation is decent and no romance is a plus. <<less

It was interesting enough for me to finish the story, but it wasn't particularly engaging. The initial world setting is a unique, dystopian world, but drags on without going into further depth. The story opens up part of the way through, but the author doesn't really take advantage of it and ends the story perfunctorily.

Worth a read if you've run out of better material. It's not super long, and and there's no padding/filler.

like other reviewers said, its solid all around for a web novel. Solid MC, solid action, solid plot

The ending though feels like an ass pull lmao, she ended up solved her every problem for some reason without a hitch.

I was confused how would she able to solve it and I was pretty sure she need to at least sacrifice something since her goal wasn't as simple as mowing through her enemies to death, whether its life, time, whatever, but she somehow able to save the universe without any repercussions.

Spoiler

there's a character that suddenly mentioned out of nowhere and it became the key how MC able to solve everything without any problem, sure she probably able reach her goal without this power but at cost of something, however due to this character she ended up becoming a god, essentially.

Yes it's a fun novel, but the ending is really off putting. <<less

It's a good novel.

The world is interesting, it's set in a dystopian slightly cyberpunkish world mixed with dimensional travels and apocalyptic super powers (think zombie cores with a cultivator twist).

The MC is nicely written, not all of her facets comes out during the story as her main focus is surviving while gaining the strength to do so. She can be hilarious, goofy and funny. She's generally kind but also ruthless.

I think she's a tad bit too flawless however. These novels tend to ignore the mental impact of the character finding... more>> themselves in such a situation and i'd like to see more of her mental struggles to adapt and then a character growth where she improves from a former student looser to what she becomes later on. Some inner monologue showing insecurities etc would be cool. Oh well.

The world building can come off as abit messy, but alot of it is explained through the MC's eyes and thoughts.

I give it a 4 because this is the kind of story where proper character growth (mentally and otherwise) with setbacks and other such things would have improved the story and the MC's character alot.

However I do recommend people to give it a try. <<less
