Well this is a rather interesting novel. I’ve only read up to about chapter 30 and it really is a hidden gem. Enter the MC, he plays a computer game that develops a civilization which he guides and pushes its growth. Yet doing this, it is revealed later that he is actually doing it for real, just in another alternate universe. During the game, whilst expanding his “game” empire, one of his colony fleets vanishes through a black hole. Not knowing the cause he does a bit of investigative work but eventually puts it down to game mechanics and dismisses this train of thought. Jump a tiny bit forward and the missing exploratory fleet, R19, appears in our solar system. This is where the novel begins to kick off and everything starts. So far the MC appears to be a useless feck, to timid to confess his attraction to his neighbour, yet only does when the world is appearing to end so not a very encouraging figure, potentially may evolve. It’s a watch this space agenda item. Anyways, apart from the shameless grab of social points for our dear Comrade author and the China is great mentality (just gotta ignore their low self esteem issues which they try and overcome in these novels, this novel does have a lot of potential and hopefully the author doesn’t drop the ball in this or even the novel. The first 25 odd chapters is more filler abiut everything happening, so the MC is just a small player but I imagine it will change Well worth the read 👍

LIKERead to chapter 59 and it is good but damn the western nation bashing is strong. The antipathy between China and America is well known yet i. This novel, the author goes all out in American bashing and Chinese being the voices of reason. It is disappointing but I am trying to overlook this, really trying .
