As a research student, I'd almost given up on science fiction. All those time-travel, reincarnation, system, and superpower stories were just too messy, disorganized, and utter nonsense. Thankfully, I finally found this one, which gave my brain a good cleansing.
I'd give it 4 stars. The suspense, plot, and details are all well-written, but it feels a bit too contrived. The deliberate weakening of national military power is problematic; they've already started genocide, and the other side has already flipped the table—it's unlikely the country would still be playing cards.
It is a good book in every sense. In terms of both its core message and the professionalism of its writing, this book is among the best in contemporary online literature. It is not merely a display of skillful character development, nor simply a piling up of flowery language.
There are very few biopunk stories, so finding this one on Tomato Books is truly amazing. The author genuinely has their own thoughts on cutting-edge concepts like genetic weapons and ecological warfare, and has also deeply reflected on the enduring topic of "human gene enhancement." It's well-written, and I'm really looking forward to seeing how the story unfolds.
This book is grounded in reality, focuses on ordinary people, and avoids tedious filler or fabricated plots. Even more commendable is the author's portrayal of the people as resilient, simple, yet incredibly great. Just as we have all experienced, whether leaders or ordinary citizens, everyone is united in overcoming difficulties.
Overall, it's a very good novel, far exceeding its current Tomato rating, especially the first 50 chapters which mainly revolve around the story of reduced grain production, making it a very good science fiction novel. However, around chapters 50 to 100, I felt that having more main characters would have been better, since different fields are like different worlds (I won't go into details to…
Yes, it was written by a human. Although the protagonist is often indecisive, which is infuriating to read, it vividly illustrates the old saying, "A scholar's rebellion will never succeed in ten years..."
The vivid descriptions of popular fiction and the romance of science fiction, the persistence of stereotypical characters and the complexity of real people, the simplicity of truth, the clear distinction between right and wrong, the transformation of contradictions into strength, and the suppression of violence by justice—this is the courage to criticize reality, the epic of praising heroes, and…
A rare gem of a novel, with solid professional knowledge; a slow burn, which I prefer to enjoy over fast-paced reading. 🥰
The most ingenious aspect of the concept of "human selection" lies in the fact that it is not pure fantasy, but a sharp prophecy of the current technological frenzy. When Silicon Valley elites begin to use embryo genetic screening technology (PGT-P) to "optimize" offspring, attempting to "customize" high-IQ, disease-free "super babies," a microscopic "human selection" has already begun.
