Review Detail of UncleLeiFeng in Legend of the Mythological Genes

"Legend of the Racist Author" had a lot of potential for a LitRPG fanfic. Self-evolution through awakening genes and then combining them could make for some very interesting content. I tried really hard to like it, reading 125 chapters before giving up on it entirely. The author's blatant racism ignores the scientific fact that humans are 99.5% similar. Regardless of skin color and appearance, we've got mostly the same genetics and we're not actually that different. He also bakes in legends to the DNA, which doesn't work. Especially since he's somehow awoken the genes of Sun Wukong, the monkey king. Obviously Sun Wukong isn't part of any human genetic tree. And if it's just the *story* that matters, you could awaken the power by being told the story - no genes required. In any case, anyone would be able to awaken any genetic power regardless of race or heritage. Despite that, he invents the "disgusting egg-humans" (chapter 105 and on) which are people forced by a corporation to undergo genetic modification to become white and undergo brainwashing to ensure loyalty. Horrifying as the concept is, the victims shouldn't be treated as disgusting. However, since the author is racist to his core, he uses this to express the superiority of Chinese culture and legends because it's all a racist metaphor for the foolishness of giving up on Chinese culture to accept anything western. Yes, he actually argues that someone else's fictional mythology is inferior to Chinese fictional mythology (chapter 125 and a few other places). Apparently there are still new lows to racism, where we argue over who made up the best lies about the origin of the world. He destroys the only record of a revolutionary alchemy method because he can't trust any other race. That's right. It wasn't because he was suspicious of the company's goals (which he was). It was because he couldn't stomach a white person learning it. From chapter 102: "He had no way to hide this, but it was impossible for Feng Lin to allow people like Frank and Aike from the white race to obtain this inheritance. Since they weren't from his own race, their intention would surely be different." Wow. That's the kind of mindset the author has. Let's not forget that one of the minor villains is a Japanese assistant (turned white through that contrived ritual). Of course he spitefully backstabs the MC, who comments that it was expected because all Japanese are jackals. From chapter 115: "As expected of a Japanese. Even though he changed his race, his jackal-like personality and the habit of biting his own master would never change." Can't have a Chinese novel without attacking the Japanese. I wish I was making this trash up. In a perfect world, racist trash like this wouldn't have 15 million views and a rating of 8.4 in China. However, with nationalism and propaganda being more important than basic humanity, trash like this doesn't get hidden - it gets published and makes a racist author rich. I wish we lived in a world where no one reads or writes this trash.
