Don't know why the rating is so low, it quite alright. So far it's a light twist on the world-hopping genre. Only giving it 5 stars to compensate for all the 1 stars

Decent expansion from author's previous universe ("The Ultimate Evolution"), except that the protagonist this time is a young adult with a different class. Decent binge read, but just not as exciting and epic as author's previous novel.

4 out of 5 stars.

SYNOPSIS

MC Fang Linyan a 19 yr old born under mysterious circumstances, but is at the end of his rope after being diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. He chances upon an opportunity with a mysterious sci-fi organization that enables him to travel to alternate realities, mostly based on fictional stories (Harry... more>> Potter, Terminator, Mad Max, etc). Linyan has to find means to cure himself while seeking newfound wealth and powers, while also uncovering the secrets behind the organization.

COMMENTS

(1) Same old plot from "The Ultimate Evolution", nothing particularly innovative

We're once again in mostly the same old fictional worlds, with a same old down-and-out MC that is forced to enter the trans-dimensional program to survive. Except this time MC is clearly not a tank-class like "The Ultimate Evolution", but is more of a mechanic. Probably due to influence from another popular CN novel "The Legendary Mechanic" (2017). So rather than outright guns-blazing battles, we have a more strategic MC in a support type role.

(2) Same old filler text with excessive world-building/info dumps, but relatively entertaining...

It's the same formula. Spend hundreds of words describing various item functions, backgrounds, stats, etc, but still quite entertaining to read. You still see hilarious interpretations/reinterpretations of storyline characters and world settings. And because it's a new novel, author naturally has to progress to newer characters within the same franchise.

You'd almost think author has copied Rambo X, MIB International (IV), Ghostbusters (2016)... just a long list of hit franchises that decided to carry on "just one more sequel" to squeeze life/money with new casts.

And so we see scenarios like "Harry Potter's Fantastic Beasts".

(3) Slight twist to MC makes plot slightly more compelling

The mysterious circumstances surrounding MC's birth, along with his terminal cancer does up the stakes significantly compared to "The Ultimate Evolution". At least there's this constant pressure on MC to keep moving forward. His motivations of being a sneaky support type character makes a lot more sense given his ill health and obvious physical weaknesses.

That said, MC isn't particularly interesting. Sure he's smart but his personality isn't engaging given his youth and lack of worldview (he still gets conned, is still clueless sometimes). It's gives you the sense that he's still just an awkward up-and-coming adult. Just a slightly more naïve version of the MC from "The Ultimate Evolution", which makes him a boring copy. <<less

2.5!!!

TBH *IMO* the story have potential, its quite good read...

But, why I gave 2.5? Here it goes.....

... more>> Too much info dump between scenes, MC's "God-knows where" knowledge with his background is really a mystery how he knows those things, also this line here "How did Fang Linyan disappear as he wanted to?" Really? Really? I'm getting annoyed by this cringe lines to get into reading moods, cause these kind of lines ruining the immersion feels.

Also I don't need "golden ratio" of doll aesthetics... "... ratio 0.61yadayadayada..."

Geezuz.

*sorry for the outburst, I really hate a *potentially* good story ruined by these things* <<less

So I felt the need to review other then giving my 5 star rating because I'm a little puzzled by the low ratings of other reviewers. I fully read another work by this author, Ultimate Evolution, and I feel this work fully takes what I loved about that one while it gets rid of the most annoying parts from Ultimate Evolution. In comparison to UE, which had a lot of long, draggy segments that took place in the the real world that no one really cared about that much and... more>> which cut into the flow of the novel, this one is filled with action from the beginning, real world or not.

There's a lot of mystery going on, about his origin, about a mysterious hand in the background that seems to be trying to assist him and another force manipulating the world around him to do the opposite, but he's no one's pawn - he's living by his wits trying to get every advantage he can despite probability seeming to shift to screw him over at every opportunity. Very much an underdog in the beginning but he's fighting for every advantage he can, which is realistic given his starting situation and knowledge.

No team yet, it's all about him, but I have no doubt it's coming and he's already realized the importance of one after what he's experienced. Don't see anything wrong with them focusing on him to build himself/his prestige up first, no one's going to follow a loser. Looking forward to more chapters, glad this was picked up. <<less

If you have read The Ultimate Evolution before, then you can guess the story background and the direction of the plot, but even with this knowledge, it is really hard to follow this new story.

There are dumps of unecessary informations all the time and it's not to increase the depth of the story. In between, Author makes MC's decisions overly complicated just to make the story interesting, then Author spends several lines to justify MC's decisions and to cover plot holes. Also, MC is only 18 but knows lots of... more>> mecanical/scientific stuff for no reason, and it's never justified, and of course, it is made to perfectly fit the overly complicated plot the author designed for the MC... but for the reader, it creates a MC without any personality, completly the opposite of the MC in the previous novel.

It's kind of sad, because you feel it's really the same univers as in the previous novel, but with a badly written plot, as if it was a bad fanfiction... <<less

First of all I would like to say it is not a 5 star novel, 4.2-4.3 would have been my true rating however, seeing the low ratings I gave 5 star.

Spoiler free synopsis:

The novel is about a person with a lethal sickness that is given a chance to cure himself by some mysterious force. The same force that wants him to do some tasks which turns out to be connected to an even greater mystery.

Synopsis with spoiler:

... more>>
Spoiler

Our MC Feng Linyan is diagnoised with a lethal sickness, someday he finds out he lost his memory of a certain timeframe.

Which results in him finding an old mobile phonne which requests him to do somethings if he wants to get rid of his sickness.

While doing those tasks he comes face to face with the "Space", a multiversal living organism which uses proxies to collect sources from different worlds and in turn gifts those proxies with almost god like powers.

However to Join these "Spaces" Our MC needs to use some unconventional ways with the help of the mysterious phone.

After succesfully becoming part of a Space he will travel the multiverse, unearth many secrets and find out the truth about his own past.

[collapse]

Now lets start with what makes this novel worth 4.2 stars;

World Building (5) :

Like most of the other infinity flow novels we are gifted with a lot of different worlds, most of them are from popular literacy worlds.

Also he incorporated all of these worlds in a single concept Via the use of his already existing multiverse.

For those who do not know, this is the final book of a triology series and he vastly expands his own world in this book by exploring the hidden mechanisms and background of where this space comes from.

Story Telling (4) :

The specialty of the author is his incredible use of these worlds, he makes you immerse yourself in these worlds thanks to the "Info dumps" that most of the reviewers speak of.

And he does it in such a way that it feels as if those extentions of the worlds are from the original creator of the work.

But I also agree that sometimes he is doing them in such an overwhelming amount that it also becomes a hinderance thus resulting in a drop in my own ratings.

Do not get the wrong idea, although he uses "Info dumps" he is also great at writing in general, I mean he is an experienced writer after all.

Characters (4) :

Well thanks to the concept of the novel which is jumping between different worlds and competing for resources most of the characters in the novel has their own agenda if they want to live.

This creates a vast array of deep characters, with most of them sharing a common trait -cunning- this also makes almost 0 appearence of s*upid and one dimensional characters.

Most of the characters are also reccuring throught the novel which is also a good thing.

The main part where I took my 1 star from is sometimes there are too many smart and scheming characters that, the plot May be hard to understand especially the reveal of some past plan.

The Plot (4) :

I should first share with you that even around 1000th chapter the true background of the main character is not certain, and there are many questions waiting to be answered.

That is kind of understandable considering this is the final book of a triology but it doesn't feel that well when you spent this much of a time reading and having questions still not answered from the initial chapters.

The author mostly explores the different aspects, background and the working mechanisms of the Spaces in this final book very much more detailed which is a long awaited thing. <<less

Infinity genre webnovel. The plot and story relies essentially on travelling to other worlds to complete missions.

The plot is shallow in regard to the worlds explored. It's limited to a very narrow area and there's not much background.

A lot of thoughts seems to have been put on the plot behind the MC circumstances but it's headed in a wrong direction in my opinion.

The characters apart from the MC are invisible. The story is centred on the MC. Even when working in a team, it's described as the MC defending against... more>> his teammates schemes.

The MC isn't really interesting.

Despite his poor circumstances at the beginning, he's constantly bit*h slapped by the author wherever he steps.

This bring me to my dissatisfaction about this novel.

Titled: [Everything is a trap.]

The author seems to hold a paranoiac state of mind when writing the story.

Everything, from chapter 1 to chapter 116 is people around the MC trying to take advantage of him, exploiting him, showing animosity toward him or scheming behind his back.

The chapters content seem not to tell a story of a youth who is adventuring. But seems intent on placing the MC in situations where various disadvantages are against him, where for some reasons, the easy way would lead him to death.

So the only road he can take is awkward, long, th**ny roads where he will be short-changed and disappointed before realising that he obtained generous rewards (which are actually traps and reduce the benefits he received). <<less

It's... alright. The first 20 chapters or so is genuinely engaging and exciting, the author does action very well. After that though, while it's not like the quality dips, character development completely stalls. The story (almost) completely focuses on the main character, and after a while, he's just not interesting. Things never really deviate from his expectations, and even when they do, they don't do so in a way that significantly hinders the protagonist. It just kills all the tension, and makes the story stale. The action is still solid... more>> but don't get invested in this, it's not a particularly rewarding read. <<less
