The story is all right, and has some potential. Since it’s an intergalactic story, the world has a lot of room for development, and the “space cultivation” genre is always kind of interesting. That said, I don’t think the story is that well written, the characters have a bit of humor but that’s it. The conversations feel slightly awkward to read, and the plot is generally kinda mediocre. Since there are other better novels out there, I’ll put of reading the rest of the story for now and try to come back to it later on if it gets chosen and accumulates more chapters.

When you get a "space cultivation" novel and 90% of the aliens are 100% human.

The Good thing about this novel is how well done the translation is. Beides a few minor troubles with the right vocabulary, but that might be because the original uses very hard to translate concepts, there is noting to complain. This is sadly not the case for the rest. Besides the stupid and illogical way the whole power/special ability system is presented, the whole story feels fractured. The flow is broken every few chapters to introduce new characters or motivations to destroy any kind of character impressions you had of the MC. It is literally a transformation from normal 9 to 5 worker, cowardly and meek, to a cutthroat assasin/businessman who enjoys killing, to a zealous cultivator, to a completely brain dead and high on power fool, to a lovestruck ape, to a responsible family guy, adopting useless baggage and carrying her trough supposedly life and death trials, and of course the always important nationalist. After reading more than 40 chapters I have seen many cliches, very few new ideas and there is still not a single positive or negative thing I can say about the MC. Worldbuilding/Background is one of the worst I have ever seen. There are literally thousands of other planets and possible alien races, but despite participating in a solar system wide event there is not a single description of an alien race. In general the reader has to imagine 90% because the author does not describe the places or people. The power system is even more flawed, just an example: Every being across multiple galaxies has the same brain structure and path of advancement, which means they are all human and have grown in the same environment, which explains a lot about this book, Not! According to the author there are different races, and planets which have developed 100s of times longer and use technology thousands of years in the future. Evolution or just the advancements brought by interstellar technology are just not a thing in this novel. Feels like if the British who used their technology to conquer dozens of nations and looked down on the aborigines are suddenly totally overrun and outgunned by a single village idiot who happens to gain the friendship and support of a deserter. At the same time there are many superfluous scenes, which increase word count and boredom in equal measures. To conclude, this novel is incomplete and needs to be reworked extensively before it can be called literature. The concept has potential, but the execution is rushed and majorly flawed. My Summary: An average guy gets lucky and optains the potential and resources to become powerful. Watch how he stumbles his way from an backwards nation into the middle of an intergalactic conflict. Follow him on his path of adventure, learning and personal growth.

Hi, I'm the translator for this trial novel, hope everyone enjoys the read! Given how lacking the synopsis is (and seeing some of your responses to it), let me help and give you something more comprehensive. MC from Earth, China, gets mistaken for an Assassin that had killed some VIP (not known who or why yet), manages to negotiate himself some compensation for the mistake and requests the Gene Optimization Fluid, something that unlocks the 7th region of human's brain in this universe that already has an intergalactic human community, giving him a 'special ability'. Personally, I think the MC is the usual CN fare who will work really hard to cultivate/train, crafty because he isn't strong, but powerful when actually fighting. What's great about the novel is the author's attempt at world building, throwing in certain aspects of normal events, and adding additional complications or a twist to the resolution. The 60 chapters so far has him confined to Earth, but after, the story will start doing space travel, so no need to worry about inconsistencies with local geography. Of course, I won't say I'm great at translating, but I think I did a fairly good job here, and the pace of story progression do not feel too forced and will span over years. Almost a year goes by after the first 60 chapters, so that should more or less set the stage for expectations, with around 2 mini and 2 major arcs. TL;DR: An enjoyable read with an MC that won't be too OP, but will grow at OP rates, given how much the world will eventually expand. As a completed novel with almost 1600 chapters in tow, there will be no lack of content if this gets picked up.

Intergalactic conquest with an AI

Rex was just another slave in the corporate machine, a faceless office worker under the shadow of one of the galaxy's powerful megacorps. His life was predictable and dull, an endless cycle of meaningless reports and fluorescent-lit monotony. That was, until that day.... When a new world was discovered on the outskirts of the galaxy, Rex, like countless other low-ranking employees, found himself dragged into a contract clause he’d barely skimmed years ago. The megacorp ordered him and his coworkers to pack their lives into a transport pod and leave for the unexplored planet. Their mission? Establish a colony. Mine resources. Make the company richer. There was no choice, refusing meant ruin. At first, everything seemed manageable. The days were grueling, the nights cold, but progress was steady. The colony was coming to life. Until the excavation team struck something. No one knew what it was at first, a buried hive, a forgotten ecosystem, or something ancient and dangerous. Whatever it was, it unleashed hell. Swarms of enormous, chittering creatures erupted from the ground, their jagged bodies blotting out the sky. The colony fell into chaos. Screams echoed through the air as the bugs tore through everything in their path, walls, machines, and people. Rex barely survived. Bloodied, broken, and pinned beneath the rubble, he should have died there. But in the pitch-black silence of his fading consciousness, a voice spoke to him. Cold. Mechanical. Otherworldly. "Do you wish to live?" When Rex woke, he was no longer the man he’d been. His body was no longer human flesh and bone but something far more alien. His skin shimmered with living metal, his mind infused with the power of Cleo, a mysterious AI from a long-extinct, robotic race known as the Kaelzars. Cleo’s presence pulsed through his thoughts, guiding him and transforming him. He wasn’t just alive. He was reborn. But survival came at a price. Rex was no longer a pawn of the megacorp; he was something more dangerous, something they couldn’t control. As Cleo’s intentions began to reveal themselves, Rex found himself standing on the precipice of war, not just with the bugs but with forces far greater than he could have imagined. This was the beginning of a journey through blood-soaked battlefields and treacherous alliances. Along the way, Rex would encounter allies, brilliant, flawed, and unpredictable, and enemies whose ambitions were as sharp as their blades. These weren’t disposable foes, easily crushed by an overpowered hero. They were cunning, relentless, and human in the most terrifying ways. But then again, in war, who can truly be called a villain?
