[Cold-blooded and ruthless lead, new cultivation system, national fortresses, multiple women with no single heroine, pure power fantasy]
Evil beasts have run rampant beyond control, making small cities unfit for human habitation.
The nation mobilizes huge numbers of workers to build humanity's last “sanctuary” beneath cities, around the clock.
The Doomsday Fortress!
From then on, humans become subterranean rats.
Evil beasts become the masters of the world.
The shamanic system emerges:
Rule-bound Sky Shamans, Immortal-Serving Shamans, All-Spirit Blessing Shamans, Spiritual Truth Shamans, Flesh-and-Blood Battle Shamans...
…
My name is Li Xiao'an, and there's a mysterious bamboo scroll in my mindscape.
When I act on my desires, I receive rewards that I can redeem.
[One hundred thousand strands of Wish Power.]
[Ritual vessel: jade sword.]
[Awakened divine shaman path: Blessing.]
[Affinity with all spirits +0.1, affinity with heaven and earth.]
…
Wait, what do you mean Wish Power is measured in strands, and shamans use it a strand at a time when they cultivate?
And it's practically impossible to get, no matter how much money you have.
Also, why does the Wish Power you gave me feel... so dirty?
Tsk, this affinity with all spirits only went up by 0.1. That's so little.
What? You're saying Light Spirits and Shadow Spirits are natural enemies, so nobody can achieve affinity with all spirits?
And to commemorate that, you named it...
[The Genesis Shaman Path]
…
I never knew killing evil beasts could earn me Human Desire Points too.
All I have to do is... hate them enough.
And that huge face calling itself a [god].
One Human Desire Point isn't bad at all!
I am Shennong. I have read the latest chapter of this book and found no "heartbreak grass". Readers can rest assured to pick it. This book has multiple female protagonists, and there is some explicit content in the first 10 chapters. It is not a green ghost or ninja story. The plot is okay. It is a very good post-apocalyptic survival novel. Brother, please give me just one more episode!
So far, the system has been built quite well, and it has the qualities one would expect from a royal uncle. Plus, given the apocalyptic theme—which Tomato (the author) never seems to write well but always manages to get popular—this book has considerable potential. It remains to be seen whether the author can maintain the quality later on. My personal suggestion is to carefully consider the book title and synopsis; they're seriously detrimental. I was purely lucky to even click on this book.
It's a pretty good novel, but the pacing was a bit uncomfortable to read. There was a lot of dialogue when introducing the power of wills and other world-building aspects, and after a few chapters, there wasn't any real progress, which made me a little confused. However, I really liked the author's subject matter, the protagonist's personality, and especially the multiple female leads. Keep up the good work!
This is a rare gem of a book. Writing a good post-apocalyptic novel is truly difficult; it either becomes a formulaic, mindless wish-fulfillment story with AI, or it becomes a generic, overused neighborhood superhero. Therefore, I'm very picky about post-apocalyptic novels, but this one definitely deserves a five-star rating.
Okay, 4 stars. This is the first time I've seen a female lead with this kind of character design; it's quite novel. The main character's personality isn't contradictory either. I hope the main character's personality doesn't become conflicting later on. Changes in personality are acceptable, but they need to be reasonable.
Actually, it's very well written. The premise is novel, the writing style is okay, and there are no major flaws. It's already a pretty good book. It's definitely not a masterpiece, but it's a high-quality read, and the rating shouldn't be so low. There are very few truly great works by Tomato (the author), so reading this when you're bored is a good way to pass the time.
It's pretty good. They left some suspense at the beginning; the story officially begins around chapter 30 with contact with organized superpowered teams. So far, it seems quite good, much better than those on the recommendation list. Actually, it's a bit hard to tell the difference, since those on the recommendation list are all garbage, their descriptions are often incomprehensible.
It's pretty good. To be honest, it's much better than those books on the reading lists. It's like finding gold in the trash.
It's not bad. The premise isn't particularly novel, but the setup and development of the combat system are reasonable. Up to chapter 37, there aren't any major flaws. The later parts were so-so, like many old-fashioned cultivation novels (though not the same genre), where the protagonist is always seen as an easy target.
So far, there aren't any major flaws. It's a post-apocalyptic indigenous strategy, decisive in killing and satisfying in acquiring women (but not infidelity), with minimal overpowered features and stable stats. Early game, it's good for surviving and staying out of the way.
