[The rating has just been posted and will rise later] [Slow burn] [Small group] [Vast worldbuilding] [Chat Group] The Ashen World has been swallowed by an endless gray fog. Abandoned cities appear and disappear in the mist, while hungry fog beasts lurk deep in the ruins. Everyone forced to set foot in this land is branded with the same mark: [Exile].
An Exile is someone who has lost their homeland forever, a wanderer and prey pursued by “corrosion.” With every added layer of the [Exile] status, the body and mind deteriorate by 10%. At three layers, one loses all reason and becomes a monster that knows only how to bite and tear.
No one wants to end up that way, so every Exile does whatever it takes to scrape by: fighting over a bite of ration bar, struggling for half a bottle of inhibitor. All they want is to last one more day and put a little more distance between themselves and the fate of becoming a “monster.”

It's really good. It truly captures the feeling of struggling to survive in a wasteland, unlike other post-apocalyptic novels where the protagonist is just invincible and carrying girls around. I think the author handled this aspect very well. Also, the author really created a strong ensemble cast; each character is unique. Newcomers grow and develop, and veterans have their own ways of surviving.
So far, there haven't been any major flaws. The protagonist initially feigns composure, then becomes somewhat hesitant upon reaching the rendezvous point. The first time they team up, they are forced to separate; the second time, they are forced to become pawns; and the third time, they are trapped in the ruins. Each time, their state changes differently. Although they are repeatedly hit hard, their confidence grows stronger with each passing moment.
No need for further explanation, five stars! I just hope the author keeps writing; I'll support you by watching ads.
The book is good and worth reading, but the quantity is a bit small.
Currently in the prototype of a masterpiece
It's good, but I'm used to reading light novels, so seeing someone write about human nature feels a bit strange. Five stars.
It's written very realistically, with good details. The writing is quite detailed and the logic is sound. It's worth reading.
I just came across this today, and I've basically finished watching it. It's alright, keep it up! 💪 Keep it up, it's not bad, but I just saw the rating is only 5.5 🤦, don't let it flop later!
The characters are vividly portrayed.
The imagination is boundless, and each character is portrayed in a very interesting way.
