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 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.
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 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).
