I will sum up the beginning of the story in two word, "How Convenient". At the start, the author creates many interesting events but has difficulty connecting them. It's as if a lying kid is trying to converse you of two very unlike events connecting. It kicks you from immersion. Unfortunately, author is subtly nationalist and he is Chinese so the basic "Unity My People" as well as America consistently suffering is sprinkled thought the story. Regardless the Novel really picked itself up as it progresses, it has potential stemming from the insanely creative world, method of exploration, and my personal favorite crafting/items/and related mechanics. Also it is in the middle of the intelligent scale, it is no Sonny boy and it is notches above Re:Zombie and fits right in the middle.
