Apocalypse: I Built the Infinite Train末日：我打造无限列车

Man, Harem will always find its way in apocalypse novels

This novel is ok, but it could be far greater.

1. The MC's special ability looks awesome at first sight, but the author quite quickly fails to balance it. This results in a situation where the MC should be able to do things, but the author forbids him from doing so, while at other moments the MC does things he shouldn't be able to do. So, balance is thrown out the window.

2. There is some weird types of nationalism forced into this for no freaking reason. This comes in two ways. A) Supposedly, the whole world operates under one federation, but all the good government officials are Chinese, and 99% of the bad officials are foreigners. There is only a single bad Chinese official at the level of Senator/Congressman. Let me give an example. MC and co are evacuating through an elevated train line. To go up the line, you need to use a special train elevator to go beyond the slope. The army is fighting to give time to repair the infrastructure in order to let civilians evacuate. A group of officials wants to leave on their own on an airplane and are demanding that the local guard help them. Literally the representative of those officials is a blonde chick. The only bad Chinese official we see is one within this group. Beyond the local guard, there is an interstellar army group that consists of only Chinese. The commander of that army group kills most of the high-ranking officials and the chick. The local guard, who is also only Chinese, decides to stay back with most of the army group and sacrifice themselves by detonating a nuke.

3. We get a poor imitation of Gipsy Danger from Pacific Rim as well as Raleigh's scene of controlling the jaeger on his own. The whole thing felt really forced and left a bitter taste in my mouth.

MC was being kept back constantly by the author for no reason and the unwarranted nationalism aspects simply ruined any good feeling brought by the whole infinite train theme.

I haven't read this one, it's a work above the common trash, from what I've read it has potential.

NOT your typical- chinese apocalyptic novel with the typical protagonist getting chicks like pokémon and killing zombies to level up. But like actually FUCKING good.
