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.

Also there are Mechs but they aren't really that important as the MC fights without using one (if you were concerned with that).

Oh yeah they are great. I even like one of the other girls more then the main heroine (the princess), she’s amazing. The master is pretty good too, her care for the MC is good even though her personality is aloof. That gap moe she creates is really fucking cute

But the princess, and especially the master aren't seen by him as anything more than a very good friend and an almost parent like figure respectively.

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 """

Ashes Of Deep Sea

Duncan Abnomar was transmigrated to a magical world. Most of the lands of the world had sunken, and the surviving humans could only live on islands. Due to an unknown reason, the world was also contaminated and strange phenomena and things would randomly appear. Humans had developed steam gear technology, and the islands were connected through boats. They survived by studying strange phenomena that happened all around the world. However, as the captain of a scary-looking ghost ship, Duncan was facing a huge challenge. "How the heck do I steer this ship?" Highly recommended by experienced editor: MC is transmigrated to a world mostly covered in water and far from civilization. He becomes the captain of the ghost ship, the 'Homeloss'. He steers through the fog and adventures through the broken world and the unknown deep sea. As he discovers the ruins of abandoned civilization, he would also stumble into the war between the strange phenomena and the devil gods. The story takes place in a combination of ocean and Chutly mythology world, a new and interesting background. It’s an attractive story to read due to the author’s sense of humor and mastery over the ambiance of the story. --------------- Another-style introduction: "On that day, a thick fog engulfed everything. On that day, he became the captain of a ghost ship. On that day, he crossed the dense fog and faced a completely overturned and shattered world – the former order was completely gone, and peculiar phenomena dominated the endless seas beyond civilized society. The island city-states and the fleets challenging the sea have become the only lights of civilization left, while the shadows of old days still lurk in the deep sea, waiting to devour this dying world again. But for the new captain, there's only one pressing question – Does anyone know how to sail this damn ship?!"
