The Last Human In The Empire

Description

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

The Imperial Center Museum has a precious collection of a human body that has been frozen for nearly a thousand years. One calm and breezy afternoon, the human’s heart magically revived and opened its eyes during the exhibition.

He Xile knew he was dead, but suddenly regained consciousness. As he opened his eyes, he found himself in a coffin-like glass container, unable to move, surrounded by a variety of strange creatures at a minimum height of two meters.

For that moment, all eyes widened.

He Xile: “Ah—”

Strange creatures: “Ah ah ah —” scattered and fled.jpg

Later.

A new live broadcast room quietly emerged, on the empire’s largest live platform. The last human “seed” on the interstellar was fiddled with the camera cautiously. His hair was soft and fluffy, his glass-like eyes were gentle, his face was delicate and fair, as he pursed his lips a small dimple appeared: “Hello, my name is He Xile.”

The whole interstellar space was boiling:

“He’s so small and cute. Just listening to his voice makes my heart melt! I’m going to purchase him!!!”

“I don’t know if it was my delusion, but after watching his live stream, I feel so full of energy and so much better that I have a reasonable suspicion that he has “healing” powers.”

“Are you an adult yet? Do you have a spouse? I’m an Imperial General, may I?”

His Imperial Majesty: “Sorry, he’s mine.”

It's a cute fluff story. MC is Mary Sue though, everyone praises him. They base the goodness of humanity as a whole off the behavior of MC. As of c58, as the last human, MC basically only talks about China. I'm in pain.

The nonhumans despise their animal traits. I find it hard to believe an advanced civilization hasn't found a way to beautify their animal traits, make it their identity, and trained their features to not betray their emotions. I'm just imagining the world building should be like Beastars except... more>> they look more humanoid.

In this interstellar world, the nonhumans can become a full fledged animal, but becoming an animal in public is like streaking naked in their culture. What really bothers me is how this isn't taken seriously in the story. MC repeatedly interacts with the animal streakers even though he's told not to over and over again. Just so MC can have some cute fluff scenes and appear to be a holy saint that loves everyone. Not respecting someone's cultural boundaries is the final straw, taking me out of my suspension of disbelief, so I'm dropping this story. <<less

Not bad. Definitely a little slow at the beginning. Similar to interstellar works that have the orc/beastmen subgenre where people have animal traits and can transform into animals, though markedly different in that the current race of people that rule the galaxy kind of treat themselves like a different species just descended from humans. A variation on the "view of humanity from afar" shown in other peoples' reactions and lack of knowledge about the MC (people react to him how we might react to seeing an internet-famous pet irl). While... more>> not a unique idea, it's an interesting implementation of a trope not often found in novels like this.

I read ahead of where the translation is here, and as the plot kicks in both the story and characters become a lot more interesting. My less-than-reliable reading source was filled with errors from auto-MTL-ing, which meant large chunks of the story were missing and I couldn't finish it. Considering the compulsion that kept me reading until 3am instead of sleeping despite the low quality, that should say something about how intriguing I found it. I'm cheering on the translator to keep working on the story so I and everyone else can truly appreciate it!

Edit: Figured I'd add another detail to maybe entice readers, because I think it's significant: In a lot of interstellar orc/beastman/animal-manifesting-from-mental-power/etc stories, the ML is usually something like a tiger, or dragon, or wolf, or phoenix, some other animal that's either associated with mythology or is generally recognized as "cool and powerful". The ML of this story is NOT any of those. His animal form is atypical for this kind of webnovel. Spoilers for anyone who really needs to know before they read:

Spoiler

He's an octopus. A kraken-sized one. And its NOT an excuse to be kinky: rather than being used for fanservice, he's actually treated as kind of scary. The ML's animal traits are treated like everyone else's, often being inconvenient like when his tent**les move around on their own without his input and often against his wishes.

Ah I don't know how to feel about this (lies, I know exactly how I feel about this)... I'm not rating the novel since it'd be kinda unfair, considering I'm only on chapter 35 now.

However I sure as hell am going to express my thoughts; I'm probably dropping this.

I'm sorry to anyone who likes these tropes but I can't take it anymore. The MC is so spineless and mary sue. There are already so many moments in which I got so freaking angry with him!

MC being the last human among... more>> this new nonhuman civilization makes him a national treasure basically. Humans in comparison to the nonhumans are very weak and delicate. And this obviously leads to the nonhumans treating the MC like he's a baby. Cause guess what, he's 19 but the age of reaching adulthood here is 30. So he's now a baby, and his guardian is his majesty the emperor (who I think is very obviously his future love interest. Great. Totally doesn't leave a weird taste at all. Though I am interested to see how this plot develops and if it'll somehow not come off weird-)

It doesn't help that the MC does not f*cking care! He lets these nonhumans treat him like a baby that's straight out of a shell or something, it's so frustrating!! Every time I get my hopes up it comes crashing down because MC has no boundaries or self respect. God, if he's in the actual human society he would be assualted so much, I wouldn't be surprised if someone kidnapps him. And his low (emotional?) intelligence in those matters are atributed to "oh he's naive because he had a tumor and had to go to the hospital to live there, not even finishing high school". Man shut the f*ck up, that's such an illogical excuse it makes my head hurt.

Anyways I'm going to put/describe some moments like that here so you can see for yourself:

1. Recent, in chapter 34 (the last straw that made me drop this) : MC did a live broadcast talking about Earth to nonhumans to let them know more about it. The nonhumans thought humans on Earth can eat literally anything, inculding other humans (basically they were still kinda scared of the MC because of that). Obviously MC cleared that rumour up. And next thing you know it, later when he logged to the star network he suddenly encountered some random ass strangers just touching him and feeling him up "oh my god I touched a human aaah he's so cute!!!".......... and what did he say to that? You know what, i'll just copy and paste the whole thing here. Sorry for the grammar it's MTL.

Spoiler

Someone who knew the inside story was watching the entire process. He held back his laughter and explained to the confused He Xile: "It's because of your previous live broadcast."

He said, "At that time, experts unearthed a lot of 'useful' knowledge from the ruins of the blue planet. One of them is that humans eat everything, and even kill each other for food, so even if you wake up and look small, It's also very cute, but most people in Hexinna still have a grudge and only dare to watch from a distance and dare not approach. You refuted the rumor today. Everyone knows that you will not do that kind of thing, so of course you are much bolder. Those just now Although their behavior is inappropriate, they are also expressing their feelings towards you, and I hope you don't mind."

hiss.

This is so!

He Xile said: "Of course I won't mind."

2. Chapter 7, his majesty order his tailor to tailor some clothes for the MC because he's so much smaller than everyone else and they don't have clothes that fit. All I can say is, man...
Spoiler

He didn't feel annoyed at all when listening to Jane's words. He would nod seriously and respond to certain parts of her words.

However, when the other party measured the size, he would inevitably touch He Xile's body, and Jane should be a big-hearted person, or maybe because the human in front of him was too weak, he didn't think it would be easy to squeeze He Xile twice. It's an inappropriate move.

He Xile always felt like a doll, being pushed back and forth.

His ears were red as if they were bleeding.

The guard stood aside and suddenly said: "Mr. Jian, when you measured His Majesty's body, you didn't pinch it like this."

Jane's hand paused.

He said displeased: "You are the only one who talks too much."

But then, Jane's behavior became much more restrained.

[collapse]

3. Also chapter 7, MC goes to the star network for the first time. We also for the first time seriously see here how these nonhumans have absolutely no decency. Tell me, please, in which universe would it be okay to randomly come up to someone on the street and start pinching them and babying them? Let alone that someone being a literal child??? DISGUSTANGG
Spoiler

His height attracted some people's attention, but the mask was on his face, and He Xile was a temporary terminal with a logo. When everyone saw He Xile, they thought he was an underage child and pinched him on purpose. A human body comes to experience life on the star network.

"Where did the underage kid come from? Ha, it looks pretty cute like this."

"Come on, let me touch it."

He Xile's face was slightly red and he avoided the hand that was rubbing it.

People around him couldn't see He Xile's expression, but they understood his actions and couldn't help laughing when they saw it. Someone joked: "Okay, don't bully other children all the time. What if he has a psychological shadow, becomes an adult, doesn't want to come to StarNet again, and is out of touch with society? When you see that other parents don't come directly to trouble you, !"

"How could it be? If they come looking for someone, then I will be a offline person on the spot, and no one will be able to find me."

"What a dog you are."

He Xile couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled.

[collapse]

4. Chapter 10, I'm just gonna put this here to show you just how exactly the nonhumans think of humans/the MC. Personally, it's infuriating, and what's even more infuriating is how the MC doesn't mind AT. ALL. MC: *smiles shyly*

Spoiler

After breakfast, He Xile returned to the room, opened the terminal, and was about to study how to register as an anchor when he saw the reply from the previous captain.

Captain: "Sorry, I was at work before and didn't see any news from you. I just got off work now. I saw you said, you want to participate in the work? Is it because Wen Ji and His Majesty abused you and were unwilling to give you money? Please send it immediately Tell me the details and I will be happy to help you prosecute."

He Xile: "???"

No no no, no!

He Xile was busy typing: "You have misunderstood His Majesty, he is very good to me. I just feel that I need a source of income created by my own labor. On our blue planet, I am already an adult at my age. People must be responsible for themselves, not to mention that I cannot rely on His Majesty forever, and sooner or later I must learn to be independent."

"Don't think too much about it, let alone sue."

When the criminal captain saw the human being's words, the other person's appearance suddenly appeared in his mind.

——Her beautiful eyes are as bright as stars. When she smiles, there will be a cute pear dimple on her face. Her neck is as slender and beautiful as a swan, and her figure is close to perfect.

Of course, according to their aesthetics, it would be better if He Xile was fatter.

And such a human being, who looks small and can be picked up with one hand, and makes people full of protective desires, actually said that he wants to be independent at such a young age.

It's really distressing to look at...

[collapse]
oh and don't forget them seriously warning the MC "not to do that again, it's dangerous" when bro literally jumped down from like, probably not even a meter in height. They really thought he's gonna break his legs huh? I'm not putting those here, there's plenty of those moments in the novel. Go ahead.

5. Chapter 12, another example of nonhumans not knowing what distance towards strangers is and MC just *uwu shyly ignoring and moving on*, he never ever adresses it. Not once does he tell them "hey it's not polite just trying to touch strangers without even asking". Spineless. Anyways he overheard a convo and wanted to ask something about it.

Spoiler

He Xile thought for a while and walked over: "Hello, boss."

"what do you want to eat?"

The boss subconsciously raised his head to ask, but saw no one. He was stunned, leaned forward, looked down, and suddenly became happy, "Hey, where did this little baby come from? You look at such a small one. It's so cute. Can your parents not worry about letting you go to the Star Network alone?" "

As he spoke, he reached out his hand and wanted to rub He Xile's fluffy hair.

He Xile's face was slightly red and he backed away a little.

"Okay, okay, be wary of strangers. It's good."

The boss was not angry, but looked very happy. He took out a piece of pastry from the big round pot that had just come out of the oven, wrapped it in paper and handed it to He Xile, "Here, you can try the pastry made by uncle. After you finish it, follow Uncle, tell me if it tastes good? Uncle thinks you are cute and won't charge you any money. By the way, don't worry, this is a virtual star network, and the food made is all data, so there won't be any problems."

"If something really goes wrong, I'll click the report button for you. Did you see the group of robots that just came? They will take this old uncle away immediately." The boss next to him said.

"Hahaha, yes, yes, take me away directly."

He Xile: "..."

He Xile was a little at a loss as he listened to the two bosses talking to each other.

Look at the boss again, always holding out his hand holding snacks.

"Go on, " he said.

As if He Xi was not happy, he would keep stretching out his hand.

He Xile pursed his lower lip and finally took it: "Thank you, uncle."

"You're welcome, you're welcome."

The uncle waved his hand and said with a smile, "I like little dolls like you the best."

He Xile felt very embarrassed.

——He, He Xile, is a grown man in the 21st century, but he is always treated as a cute child by the indigenous people here and receives various privileges. The point is that it's not easy for him to explain his identity... (reviwer note, because he's disguised with a mask on, they think he's just a regular child, not a human. Doesn't make it any better personally...)

What a shame.

Take another bite of the warm, sweet snack in your hand.

So delicious! ! !

He Xile's eyes sparkled: "It's delicious!"

I think that's plenty of examples, and I'm too lazy to look for more. Basically: the nonhumans keep on babying the MC, the MC doesn't care and enables them, they baby him even more, they have no boundaries towards the MC and he DOES NOT CARE- for some reason... like, it's seriously infuriating. It's not even just about the nonhumans being so rude, they're kinda clueless after all (kinda, and still infuriating). What bugs me the most is MC's attitude. He doesn't explain anything (and when he does he's kinda ignored), and he also just doesn't care. On a personal level I think this puts a bad rep on humans. I'm offended. How dare they not know of how awful we humans actually are! I also completely agree on the other points the reviewer "Ireadbl" raised.

But hold now we can't end in such a negative note right? I did like some things after all:

Positive stuff:

-I am definitely interested in the ML and his secrets. What kind of creature is he? I want to know more about his past too! Also, he's quite a nice tsundere, though I still think his character could use a bit more work. Feels a little rushed?

-MC actually was interesting in some moments, I liked him quite a lot in those select few. Too bad he's s*upid. Also I was interested in the vaguely foreshadowed plotline of him maybe having really high mental power and being able to be a great mecha driver! I would absolutely love that!!! It made me so excited! Alas, when testing his mental power it's only B level (tho I still think maybe it'll increase later or not all about it is detected/seen). Too bad I dropped it.

-I quite liked some side characters. Don't know how far they'll go in the story though, and if there's even room for their development left...

That's it folks. We're finally done.

Thank you to everyone who got to the end of this rant review!! You a real one frfr.

In any case, I'm not continuing this novel, sorry. No matter how curious I am about some things, I don't think I can ever go through 188 chapters of this babying. Hopefully it gets better later on and I'm just being dramatic. <<less
