Description

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

Accidentally transported into the wasteland world, Yu Yuan is forced to embark on a path of hardcore survival.

Under threats from urban marauders, extreme natural disasters, player raids, and invading civilizations…

He has only one choice: go all out to build and fortify his hideout.

Thankfully, Yu Yuan obtains a Fate Card Deck and begins his journey to rise.

【Slaughter Card】【Indulgence Card】【Decadence Card】【Conquest Card】— each challenge deadlier than the last.

— While others are still cowering in fear, worn out from running from possible threats,

He’s already built rare hideout facilities one by one:

【Hidden Library】【Starlit Observatory】【Hot Air Balloon Dock】【Altar of Life】

Detecting dangers ahead of time, locking onto their sources, and eliminating them completely.

— While others are rationing food and water to survive extreme disasters,

He’s already feasting thanks to a fully functional circular ecological farming system:

【Vertical Compound Farm】【Aquaponics System】【Insect Breeding Box】【Seaweed Cultivation Dish】

— While others tremble at the thought of player wars and raids from other wasteland realms,

He’s already unified all the armed forces across city districts, building a full surveillance-strike system,

Unlocking a hidden title path — Shadow of the City,

Crushing every rat that dares covet what’s his.

When a new civilization rises from the ruins of the old world,

Yu Yuan looks upon his Civilization Bastion and murmurs to himself:

— This… is my civilization.

Weird Story, weirder Author.

For starters:

... more>>
Spoiler

MC does unspeakable things to a sheep at chapter 32. Yes, exactly what you are thinking about. Doesn't matter if the plot forced him to do it, the author manages the plot and he could just have anticepated the brothel found a few chapters later to avoid such absurd scenario. Or just not created this weird plot device at all.

[collapse]

The Author believes his MC is some sort of anti-hero, but the guy is just a sociopath with some boundaries (but not many).

Spoiler

He didn't force himself onto a woman, even though he though about it several times and even went to her house for it, which is still upsetting he considered it, but better than the alternative. But other times he grabs a random scavenger and tortures the guy for information and then kills him without remorse. Is the guy evil? MC doesn't care. If he needs, he takes, no matter what or who.

During a faction war with the police and the prison thugs, one officer escaped to the sewer and the MC after finding him, chopped all his limbs to get info, and then killed the guy. The Police Faction is the least evil of them, and while some guys at the top are kind of evil, the MC didn't know at the time. He simply saw the chance to kill and rob, and took it.

[collapse]

Anti-heros are those who do evil to stop a greater evil, and usually against said greater evil, like The Punisher killing drug dealers he knows will get out of jail soon and rob/kill more people.

This MC hurts anyone, as long as it can give him benefits. That's not anti-hero, just plain evil villain stuff. Most times he's killing thugs from gangs, which is understandable, but every now and then he starts killing random ppl that are just trying to survive, or without knowing they're doing evil or not.

Worldbuilding is nonsensical. 10k ppl got transmigrated into different worlds with a hideout system that can be upgraded and craft things. Each must survive, upgrade and then fight against each other, with no explanation of why.

The city the MC transmigrated to is in a faction war, with several groups killing each other daily, while he fishes in troubled waters, gathering resources and upgrades. He can also gain supernatural powers everyday, but must pay a penalty before getting the next one.

Spoiler

The penalties are: killing someone, doing s*xual things to someone (animals included), killing an entire group of at least 10 ppl or a mutated animal (he always goes for the group slaughter like the psycopath that he is), spending a most of his system credits on something.

Again, weird choice of penalties by this weird Author.

[collapse]

For last, most other characters are also sociopaths. Probably an attempt to justify all the random killings by the MC. It's hard to cheer for anyone in this story, because they're either evil survivors or weak victims waiting for slaughter. It reminds me of those chinese mage stories where everyone is evil and killing each other all the time. A bad message lies behind this type of story: 'Be evil or be dead.'

I don't know why I decided to give this novel a chance but I regret it. Don't recommend. <<less

My biggest problem with this novel is that the system feels just really forced into the story. Its an apocalypse story, and u can make whatever bed you Wana make, yet you need to do a recipe for a "makeshift bed" and the materials require a lighter and a yoga mat in it??? Like what??? Most of the system content is also mostly just filler content for redundant stuff like how many items he found after searching a room. Really feels like the author is writing from tbe perspective of... more>> designing their own game rather than writing a story.

Other than that its the general gist of the Chinese novel formula standard so it isnt really that worth reading. If it had a more unique setting like those recent mind numbing mass uploads of so and so survival where MC is on a train, elevator, or whatever and goes to different locations, I think it would've been interesting enough to read for while till dropping, but this author took their formula, and put it in a standard setting form, which is obviously not working out.

The setting so far also mostly just seems haphazardly made. And feel like its translation as Boti's novels tend to be this way, but there is just a vivid lack of depth and emotion <<less
