Amazing novel. World background is nothing new. The cliche alien invasion, rise of martial arts etc. What's not cliche is that unlike those typical novels, there are no arrogant young masters, shameless mc, scheming villains,... The highlight of the novel is its characters. Iam, generally a person who does not care much about other characters which is not mc. But after reading this novel, the character portrayed in it are my favorites. mc's uncle who is weak, typically i would hate these kind of characters who would only drag down and become a burden to the main character. But here i have nothing but admiration towards the character. even though weak, the uncle character really helps in shaping the character and heart of the mc, which really helps him. He doesn't depend on any one. These type side character in this novel, aside from uncle, there was also a school teacher who lied to a poor student that he won scholarship but actually was paying from her own pockets, then there is also tantai feng, which is one of my favourite characters. The next noteworthy part is character development, which was well thought and nicely executed. mc doesn't directly start as op, and he doesn't have a cheat which can make him strong overnight. He becomes op because his own talent and hardwork. The things iam not fan of is patriotism and racism. This novel strongly shows patriotism and self sacrificing mentality. But in the particular world background it is necessary. so it's not forced or unnecessary. The only minus point is racism. I don't quite understand why all Chinese people hate Japan so much. Although it was only shown in one tournament arc, it negatively affected my reading experience. So overall a 4.8 ⭐
