PLEASE THUMBS UP THIS COMMENT SO IT CAN BE SEEN ON THE SUMMARY PAGE OF THIS BOOK, IT’S IMPORTANT!! Everyone, someone is already translating this for free with 700 chapters on their site. It’s called World Apocalypse Online and if this novel is chosen to be translated here behind a paywall, then Qidian will make the other person stop translating. The only way to stop Qidian is to not read or support the novel in this trial read at all. That means we don’t choose this novel to be translated here, and we especially don’t pay the twenty one chapters that are locked behind a paywall, since that’s how they choose which novels to translate and which to drop. If we do that, then this will be dropped from trial read after fifteen days, and the original translator won’t be forced to stop translating this book. This means we won’t have to pay for substandard translation (at least for a couple months before they edit it) using our coins and fast pass and can instead read a good free translation with consistent chapter uploads (2 chapters each day). Please follow this and DON’T SUPPORT THIS BOOK!!! TL;DR: DON’T BUY THE CHAPTERS ON THIS BOOK IN QIDIAN SO WE CAN KEEP READING THE 700+ CHAPTERS ALREADY TRANSLATED (with good quality) FOR FREE IN ANOTHER SITE.

Hello everyone, I'm the current and original translator of WAO before it was moved to Webnovel. I'm writing this review first and foremost to tell my old readers that this novel is indeed still being translated by me and my old team, willingly, and not stolen from anywhere. So please don't be upset about that. For new readers, I'd like to put out a short list of the pros and cons of this novel for anyone who might want to enjoy it. Pros: -Most supporting characters do get more screen time after their original appearance with ample character development. -The high notes and low notes of the novel aren't heaven and earth apart like a few other novels. -The story is perfect for both binge reading and daily reads, it has things to offer for both styles of readers. -The MC is clever, really clever, and the author shows it rather than tell it. Cons: -This is a harem novel with very loose romantic plots, romance is pretty much the most minor point of interest for every character at all times. -The story has been said to feel very exhausting to read, as the action goes on non-stop. But the pacing gets better over time. -There are quite a few non-main-story chapters, but if you're binge reading that shouldn't matter. -The world building can be better, but the author overall does a good job of sticking to familiar locations without overwhelming you with too many at once. I'm happy to be able to work on this novel, and I hope everyone will be able to enjoy it as much as I did.

This one of the reviews for this novel on novel updates """ This novel is the definition of "Exhausting", the plot and the MCs challenges can be described as a constant rain of feces that starts at chapter 1 and doesn't stop at any moment, the MC its always running out of time and there's never time to breathe and understand what just happened, but it sure it was epic, it was the most amazing even unbelievable that has ever been happened in history until 5 minutes from now when something even more amazing happens. There's never time sit down and talk of something its not related to a world ending calamity, something about cultivation or a peerless beauty that's overwhelmingly powerful/in danger that's completely in love with the MC, all these world ending calamities are always present and they just keep piling on and on, every problem solved is replaced with another 2 or 3, im surprised the MC isn't out of breath at every scene seeing he's constantly putting out fires or on the way to put out a fire, this isn't a story summary but its a good example of my experience with the novel "THIS GUY WILL TOTALLY KICK HIS A$S!!!" No he won't, he dies and the next power scrub is going to kick his ass Oh wait, no, the world is ending again, gotta make time for that But just now another peerless beauty is in danger, he needs to run there RIGHT NOW! Sh*t, the world clans are after his as$, he has to think of something on the way D*mn, on the way to meet his rival AND save the world AND the girl AND fend off the cabal that controls the world government HE WAS ATTACKED BY A 100 BILLION DEMONS AND PEOPLE ARE GOING CRAZY! ZOMBIES EVERYWHERE! CTHULHU CAME OUT OF HIDING AND ITS ROAMING THE OCEANS! THE AI MIGHT GO ROGUE! THE NEIGHBOUR COUNTRY'S RELIGION SET A BOUNTY ON HIS HEAD! AN UBER GOD FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION WANTS HIM TO SAVE HIM FROM ANOTHER EVEN MORE POWERFUL GIGA UBER GOD! AND THE SYSTEM THAT'S BEEN HELPING HIM SET A NEW QUEST THAT HE HAS CLEAR IN 5 MINUTES OR EVERYONE THAT HAS EVER EXISTED WILL F*CKING DIE! Oh, never mind, he solved everything OH NO! 500 TRILLION OTHER WORLD ENDING PROBLEMS CAME UP JUST NOW" At some point I got tired and stopped caring, its tiring to see all this problems with so little catharsis """

This is harem.unacceptable!..........................................................................................................................................

Got f-ucking lured into reading this carwreck. Innovative, my as-s. It's just the same old faceslapping, young master, escalating realm-conflict bs all over again.

This novel is already translated with 700 chapters, no need for qidian to pick up this novel and abandon it like other novel. It is really annoying that they keep poaching popular novel then abandoning it

If someone wants an actual short review that has nothing to do with Qidian ****ery here you go. This novel is fantastic. It’s easily in the top 3 of webnovels I have ever read. It’s setting is greatly fleshed out and interesting. Unlike other authors who refuse to fully imagine what the future would look like or those who just leave it as “basically nothing changed except haha realistic VR”, this novel goes all out in its setting. Set in the far future, humans have gone very far, but not unimaginably far (a 'problem' most people have with ScFi). They successfully survived the singularity (though its not mentioned as such) as the super intelligent AI created is on humanity’s side. This is not just a plot point to justify a few events, but she (spoiler) is a real, major character who has character development. The countries of the past have (realistically) either evolved or disappeared and are replaced by new ones. A point to note is while there are people with super natural powers on earth at the beginning of the story, they are not cultivators. The people on earth have powers they were born with that they advanced, not powers that anyone can obtain through hard work. Cultivation is something introduced to humanity from the other world 'game', bolstering humanities combat powers. The MC is from the future, which many readers dislike, but it actually feels like it in this novel. The MC is a genius Engineer who helped humanity evolve there technology to battle against their enemies. He is also an expert in the other world that humanity enters. Now you may think this is very annoying, as he sounds like a protagonist who can do anything. The thing is, he can not. His knowledge of the future only really helps him 3 whole times before future events change too much for them to be of any use. His status as a genius on earth is quickly realized, but future events move forward too fast and prevent him from taking much advantage of his future knowledge, as he is basically forced to carry humanity through events that they were originally supposed to have time to prepare for. This means he is always working very hard and is often barely able to win most battles (he actually struggles). His position as a previous life expert isn't very helpful in the other world either, after a while, as though it does help him be recognized as talented, the many events playing out happen when he is too weak to handle them using his own power (as its a cultivation world), forcing him to plan and scheme. This is a harem novel but the MC isn't an idiot. You can think of him as someone like the MC of tales of demons and gods, but way less dense. He loves the main heroine a lot and proactively tries (and succeeds) in dating her, but he still cares greatly about other the other females around him, his master in the other world and the princess of one of earths major nations. The only real complaint that could be had is that this novel had basically no SoL, he is always doing something and events happen one after another. There is obviously bridges between them, but he doesn't really have points where is relaxing, as he has to manage to worlds and not just one. I would personally prefer for the MC to have some down time where he just sorta hangs out with his friends (who actually exist and are rather important) and girlfriend(s). If you have any questions about the novel feel free to ask as I have read up to chapter 500 on the other site.

Before you decide this is a **** novel, lemme tell you this. You are an idiot. The low ratings this novel has because before, this novel was being translated by a TL who tls it for free. When he have us news that WAO will be taken by qidian, he readers got mad and gave this novel low scores in hopes qidian won't pick it up. Now that they did, they fcked up the novel. They should have: - cleared the reviews on this page. - gave it the same cover, the new cover is crap - they first 60ish chapters are from qidian which has **** quality, they didn't upload the 60ish chapter from the TL we all read from. Anyways, if u wanna know about the read quality of this novel, lemme tell you this. It's much better than Lord of Mysteries. Don't believe me? Just try the first 200. Other novels drop in quality after 500+ chapters yet, this novels quality increases every freaking chapter. The plot is so huge, that in the raws which is 1900+ ongoing, I asked those who read the raws and they said they r going crazy from waiting. They said that the novel gets legendary good, and even in 1900+ they don't think the novel is gonna end anytime soon. They said the quality of this novel increases drastically.
