Decaying World腐朽世界

Very good so far. I really hope the author doesn’t repeat the same mistakes he made in his previous novels. The protagonist is actually decent, neither an absolute Japanese-style cuck nor a hypocritical psychopath like the average Chinese person. I’ve read all the chapters on MTL and I’m pretty satisfied with how things are progressing.

Pretty good

This novel kind of suffers from the same problem that the authors other novels face. But I have to say the author is really good at pacing and keeping mystery. Where other novels give too much or too little information, this novel delivers the perfect amount of lore at the right time while not revealing everything as to keep the interest of the reader.

The world is mysterious and the author's pacing ability keeps it that way. Whenever a question is solved, a new one pops up. All puzzles fit together to make this world. In my opinion, in terms of mystery and keeping subtle horror, this novel, although not being among the best, is certainly among the great.

Now for the MC and the characters. Among the characters, few stand out, but none fall flat. Every character feels independent and alive. Unlike other novels .they don’t fade out nor revolve their entire life around the MC. The MC's dad is a good example.

The MC is very calm, too calm, to the extent he barely shows any emotions. Although we do get his monologues, it is hard to relate or root for the guy. At first, he is, effectively, true neutral, focusing on avoidance and escape rather than confrontation. After he attains a certain level of strength, he kind of becomes battle-crazed, and where my problem lies, he kind of begins to become a murder hobo. The only thing restricting him are the rules. The author tries to explain this by adding new greater dangers, making the MC more frantic for power and thus justifying drastic means. But still, the fights feel unnecessary; that’s the main issue. Otherwise it’s pretty good, and I plan to read further.

It’s 3.8-4/5; pretty good, worth spending time on, but unlikely to finish reading.

Where are the new chapters in MTL?

#panic# the MTL has stopped updating, is there a reason?

Interesting, but i dislike pinyin translation the most

Holy if this is by the author of night of despair then its probably going to be really good. that book had really really good horror elements for the first parts, and good dread for the last parts.

What's worse is that all the readers who like this author only read his works because they know that the first 400 chapters will always be good or interesting, haha.
