Top-Tier Apocalypse Fiction!
The apocalypse is no place for a bleeding heart. You don’t have to be ruthless, but you need to consider the consequences of your actions. I, for one, have no patience for a protagonist who’s too nice for their own good! Qidian has so few good post-apocalyptic novels, so I’ve had to make do... These days, so many apocalypse stories give the protagonist a System or some other golden finger that there’s no tension in everyday life. How can you call that an apocalypse? Life should be difficult and

This kind of novel setting is just plain stupid. In a post-apocalyptic world, having a system and not siding with a nation? Trying to do it all alone is truly incompetent. It's the end of the world... It's still being poisoned by Western individualism. In that kind of environment, individual strength is too weak. Without banding together, you die quickly. Even with a system, there are too many things to worry about on your own.
The cheat system is too omnipotent. I don't understand what ordinary people can do in the protagonist's shelter. Are they just raised like pigs?
I couldn't continue reading after chapter 88! Let me share my thoughts: there are just too many plot holes. The apocalyptic disaster is such a farce! The first step is extreme heat. In just a few months, global temperatures rose to 70 or 80 degrees Celsius in a perfectly healthy ecosystem. No one knows why, but it's the end of the world anyway!
Well, they'll build whatever system the protagonist needs. The protagonist is worried that being alone in a shelter for too long will cause mental problems, and the environment is too oppressive without some plants. Author, are you going to write political intrigue into a post-apocalyptic story?
This is the true refuge.
Doesn't the protagonist recruit anyone? How does he protect himself? He's always a lone wolf. Doesn't his wealth make others envious? You're overestimating those people.
Is there a mistake in the size of the shelter? It's less than 10 kilometers long and wide, yet it houses 1.5 Billion people.
This is ridiculously poorly written. They clearly know absolutely nothing about the data, yet they write it in such detail with such an air of importance.
Qidian only protects the rights of authors
But who protects readers' rights? Now, out of 100 books, 95 are abandoned, and the subscription fees go to waste. There should really be a deposit system, where 20% of the author's earnings are held as a deposit, which can only be withdrawn after the book is completed, otherwise it is used as compensation. That would be reasonable.
The beginning was alright, but it got increasingly boring later on, plus the author's appallingly slow update speed.
As the title suggests, although there is a female lead, she has very little screen time, and the romantic scenes account for less than one-tenth of the total plot. She is purely a supporting character. Furthermore, I won't comment on the fact that the protagonist rules over such a vast territory and population, all managed by artificial intelligence with no privileged classes except for himself.
