[Cthulhu-inspired survival in the Gray Mist, travel between two worlds, build a sanctuary and cultivate the land, cautious protagonist, no female lead, ascend to godhood through a supernatural sequence!]
The Gray Mist descends, and the supernatural runs rampant.
Strange beings, disaster beasts, monsters, and their servants twist and rampage through the Gray Mist. Blue Star is doomed to fall into the Gray Abyss.
The entire Gray Mist wasteland of Blue Star,
and even the eternal night of the Gray Abyss, formed from countless shattered worlds falling together, merging, and eroding one another,
is, at its core, a merciless dark forest.
Among the Gray Abyss sanctuary lords from countless destroyed or doomed worlds, and the extraordinary beings on the same sequence path, there is only slaughter! Only devouring!
The moment a Gray Abyss sanctuary lord is discovered by another lord, or by an extraordinary being on the same sequence path, a war of extermination begins. It is a fight to the death!
There are no saviors here, only hunters and prey.
Famine ravages the land, strange beings devour people, and monsters run wild!
There is also Source Substance corruption, maddening whispers, and merciless hunts between extraordinary beings on the same sequence path!
In this hopeless hell, human hearts are more poisonous than the supernatural!
The extraordinary sequence is the only ladder. Either climb to godhood over the corpses of others, or become the fuel for someone else’s ascension.
Jiang Han chose a third path: keep his head down!
He didn’t want to be a hero. He only wanted to use every means at his disposal to ‘reinforce’ a domain of absolute safety for himself.
Until one day, he stood atop a mountain of corpses and raised Truth high above his head!
The Gray Mist above the heavens churned violently, and an eye opened! Some indescribable being had awakened!
The author just got carried away while writing.
I'm currently on chapter 15, and the author's handling of the story is disgusting. 1. The protagonist is being hunted down, but because one of the people is a doting father, they let him go. Do you even know what you're writing? 2. What is the biggest problem with the author's handling of this situation? It's that he brought the God's-eye view into the protagonist's shoes.
Why introduce this doting father villain out of the blue, and then not kill him? Even if he's a beast, it's useless. People who want to kill you can't be spared for a second. It's disgusting. This plot is nonsensical. They could have just killed him; there would have been more sense in all this unnecessary dialogue. Why keep him alive? Is he planning to recruit more soldiers? He's not a lone wolf, he's a piece of cake. The most disgusting thing is keeping him alive for the sake of plot.
It's a bit like selling dog meat under the guise of mutton.
The description is "survivalist," but aside from the first chapter, there's not a single trace of that. He's either killing or on his way to kill. He only reinforced the gate in the first chapter; afterwards, he focused entirely on his own body. This isn't survival; this is him trying to build himself into an invincible, all-around warrior.
Nothing new, just a lot of repetitive rolling-out mechanics.
Well, the writing is alright, but I don't like novels that involve a bunch of people developing the character. Right now, up to that old money character, it's starting to resemble a babysitter novel. Brothers who read this later, can let me know if it's a babysitter novel?
The description says it's about surviving to the end, but that's not true at all.
The synopsis made me think it was about hiding and secretly developing, but it's not hiding at all. It feels like the protagonist is running around like a husky and acting like a honey badger. I'm asking you, from the first chapter to the latest one, where is there any evidence that the protagonist is hiding? It's completely a wish-fulfillment novel with inexplicable conflicts and plots of showing off and getting slapped in the face. Please delete the word "hiding" from the synopsis.
Post-viewing thoughts
The pacing is off; it doesn't feel like a farming novel, more like a mindless wish-fulfillment story. The sequence of cultivation techniques in chapter 68, when the protagonist first learns one, is just ridiculous. The average pace is twenty chapters a day, lacking any of the detail and depth expected of a farming or lord-themed novel.
Isn't the latest chapter too silly? The protagonist knows how high his spiritual level is, and he hasn't even cultivated to become extraordinary yet, but he still goes to test it. Isn't that just exposing his special abilities to others?
Time travel without your memories! Is that reasonable?! Is this time travel even possible?!
I don't really like contracts; such powerful things can really restrict a person to the point of exhaustion. Later on, you even have to pay for the contracts yourself; once you have a contract, you're treated like dirt.
