Its not a bad story, and it escapes the usual tropes. Yes, the country "Vermillion" is basically China, but its not super nationalistic, its more or less realistic with China's current world ambitions and pull power. Its getting destroyed with the rest of the world anyway, so who cares really. The MC is supposed to be a clever type, but realistically he is just a guy who plans ahead and is reasonably erudite about sciences - i.e. he knows what is EMP and stuff. :D The decisions he makes don't particularly strike me as "smart", more or less just plain reasonable - which is good enough, compared to some other MCs. The huge downside is that the book is WORDY. Like, lots and lots of irrelevant side-tracks and details that nobody cares about. Its a river of words flowing from inside the hero's head about literally everything that he looks at and what is going on. The dude is talking to himself in his head and we get to be annoyed with that exposition after exposition. After reading the first 5 chapters I just started "scanning" the pages skipping whole paragraph where nothing happens but some mundane stuff is discussed, repeated, revisited and munched over and over. The meteor FINALLY hits after 20 chapters. And the next 20 are even more boring with the guy sitting in the bunker. For the second 20 chapters only 2-3 events happen, I won't spoil it for you. In any novel of better quality the first 40 chapters (and not short ones too!) would fit in 4. So, if you don't have life to live, this novel is for you.
