Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.In less than an instant the world as we knew it was at its end.
That’s right. The Apocalypse. In a single blink Zombies appeared and mutated monsters began to rampage all throughout the world. Now it was the human species turn to fight for survival and planetary dominance!
On the same day that the world descends into chaos we meet Yue Zhong. Initially only hoping to get to his friends and escape to a refugee camp our protagonist sets out, inadvertently building a team along the way. After a series of fortuitous events and a few serious hunches our hero decides it’s time to do more than just survive!
Yue Zhong begins to form the foundations of an enormous survival plan… before he suddenly discovers that he has only gotten over the first hurdle…. Unbeknownst to Yue Zhong and company, the world outside of China is mostly a wasteland! Country sized swathes of nuclear radiation and an extreme shortage of supplies in the world after the nuclear explosions was quickly becoming the “norm”. Mutants, Evolved animals and what’s worse, intelligent out of control dinosaurs had quickly appeared and claimed their own sections of the planet. There were several innately powerful Evolved races which appeared that were more than 10 times stronger than humans, nearly all of them possessing bodies impenetrable by normal bullets. The fabled orcs’ were another of these Evolved races, the leader of which had in fact ens*aved many of the remaining human beings.
Unceremoniously exposed to such a cold and heartless new world, Yue Zhong is faced with a choice: Find a deep dark hole and hope it goes back to “normal”? Or overcome all obstacles and struggle towards Evolution!!!

Apart from two or three arcs, which bring a few breaths of fresh air to the series, it’s often just the MC being transported to a new country and rebuilding his faction from scratch in that country, and then being transported somewhere else and rebuilding his faction there, and again and again and again.
It gets boring pretty quickly.
- Keep in mind this starts as a zombie apocalypse horror & LVL Up story, but very later on (half the novel later, 600 chapters) evolves into a Chinese cultivation horror-ish novel.
- Keep in mind that the author does self-insert into the protagonist, that he does forget characters & story elements that stay in unanswered forever, especially random girls that got harem'ed.
- Keep in mind this novel is intended for young adult males. r*pe & gore do not lack. It even gets overused.
- Keep in mind that certain arcs are worse than others, boring even. Also that the author had health issue towards chapters 1000+ and that the novel ends quite quickly.
Now then, if you can get through that, read next to see the novel's good points.- The setting at the very beginning is one of my favorites ever: "realistic" game elements zombie apocalypse. It's done well. You get into it. You dream about it. You want to live it (a part of it lmao).
- Although everyone knows the MC cannot ever die (definitively that is, at least till the last chapter where that can be possible), there is BIG tension. Battles (a good number of them) have real consequences.
- The setting & MC's perspective constantly expands till the end of the novel. He becomes cold-blooded when he needs to, Yue Zhong rhymes with 'I'm bad-ass, you are now BTFO'.
- The conclusion does not really tie all loose ends. But it does answer everything about the setting & what happened to Earth, and why.
TL;DR Is the novel a masterpiece? No. It's far from perfect. Just like my review. It was written quite hastily as well. Is it entertaining? YES. That's all it needs to be. I'll give it a 9/11. A novel I won't forget. PS: At present times, to read everything first go to Translation Nation's website then Qidian's Webnovel. com.... Stop... more>>What is the purpose of the apocalypse?
Is there anything more than fight for survival?
Is it possible to visit more worlds if person becomes strong enough? Who wouldn't want to read novel like this? Well prepare for the disappointment as it seems like none of those questions is going to be answered. Instead of focus on MC and his personal growth, growth of his power and personal achievements the novel is riddled by focus on generic military fights between factions using mostly modern weapons and on killing monsters and zombies using modern weapons. I don't mind MC conquering factions but the novel is so poorly written that MC is hardly doing anything besides that. MC goes to some place and conquers it, then he goes to another place and conquers it, then he goes to another place and conquers it, than racism, then he goes to another place and conquers it. In the mean time nothing is explained about his system that his faction is living by as he is giving women left and right to his subordinates so I don't seem any difference between behavior of MC and any random faction so reading it becomes tedious and boring. Swarms of characters are introduced only to be dropped and never mentioned again after couple of chapters. There is basically no normal human interaction between characters in this novel or character development... What happened to his parents after they were rescued? How did his family reacted when they discovered that he is local tyrant/warlord? I guess we'll never know as they too were dropped after few chapter interaction. This novel is terribly written and repetitive and I am giving it 1* out of 5 as if you end up stranded on some uninhabited island and you'll have only this novel to read it's better than nothing I guess...
As an example, immediately after the MC finishes an arc and he's established a good foothold for himself, his base is all set up and his army is stable, the author, as of chapter 337, will always send some sort of mutant beast that the MC will have to fight which will conveniently separate him from his group, throwing him in some new area. This forces the MC to once again go through the whole process of starting another base, establishing a new army, etc etc. Once everything goes well, another mutant beast will come in to rinse and repeat. As of chapter 337, this has occurred four times.
Take for example, essential characters like Chi Yan, his supposed only best friend and second hand man. After his first base is set up and gives him the second in command, for the next 200 or so chapters he only ever makes an appearance 4 times, each time only a few paragraphs long. Lu Wen, the 13 year old girl who he supposedly treats as his sister and becomes his first lover, stops making an appearance after the second time he gets separated due to a mutant beast.
