Only read up to 14th chapter but i already can't keep going... There will be very small spoiler in this review but it's not significant for the story at all so you can keep reading... So small time raiders with like 50 people attack earth and guess what? They are using swords and small time esper powers like fireballs and ice spears...... Where are the laser guns? Where are explosive weapons? Does the space frigate have no weapons at all??? Does earth have no defense system that even small time raiders can enter like it's their own backyard? Just conquer earth if it's that weak already... Why would anyone use esper powers if the power itself isn't even stronger than conventional weapons? Even a ****** hand gun could do the job better than these small time esper powers but NOPEEEE.. Let's use swords and fists to fight like barbarians while we are riding around in a frikin spaceship lol............ Mc kicks one raider in the balls and kills another one with a goddamn pipe........ Seriously!? I guess they don't even wear protective suits or anything right? So they ride in advanced space ships around the universe, but fight like barbarians who can't even defend against a kick and metal pipe.......... Just WOW............ If this isn't stupid you tell me. I just can't keep going after this. It just kills all of the stories potential for me...

I think it's not stupid, and wats entertaining is you trying to shift real world logic into a fiction. Do you think Harry Potter is dumb too? OH JEEZ, JUST USE THE GUNZ, why do the expelliarmus sht when you can use gunsssssssssssssss or canons or just drive tanks or jets into Hogwarts? Oh, and if you were to logic, here i come: I think the novel specifically said that Earth is basically Africa in 2017, not that developed in comparison to others, so they only have one big ship going around and defending Earth s. The premise also stated that espers have faster reflex and stronger body, so a handgun might not even penetrate their skin. MC was at a restuarant and he was even officially enlisted as a soldier yet, and he's in China, so..... where do you get the gun? This isn't America you know. And Idk bout you, but normal ppl don't wear protective suits when they go to a restaurant. And that's up to chap 14, idk wat kind of epic space battle u r expecting but ok....

What are you saying? I'm talking about the raiders here in case you couldn't undestand... These are people who own a space frigate and they don't even wear protection suits nor use advanced weaponry which just doesn't make sense no matter how much you try to sugarcoat it... I wasn't expecting some epic battle mate! Did you seriously read my review or can't you understand this level of english even tho you are the translator i don't get it? I was expecting mc to not butt in to a fight he wasn't supposed to nor have the qualifications to... Mc's power is not something that can be used in offensive at that point and even a street thug armed with a ****** gun can kill him. But apperantly space raiders are even worse than thugs even tho they own and have the qualifications to use a space frigate... Now you tell me how does that make sense in any way? No matter if mc can negate other esper powers, he can't negate bullets now can he? But nope space raiders are somehow barbarians who use swords and fists to fight even tho they use a high tech spaceship... You wanna know what i was really expecting? For technology to be effective to a certain degree against low level to mid level espers and only after a certain level would technology be negated. Like in the novel Swallowed Star... In that novel weapons are used to kill low level genetic fighters. Hell, there are even powerful lasers that can kill very high level fighters tho these weapons are very hard to make and even dozens of times more expensive than hiring fighters with the same level of power, so it's not really viable to use these weapons everywhere while fighters can be used instead... Now that makes alot more sense!

well, tbh, this is fiction, u r not suppose to question the premise and logic so hard. But ya, idk what kind of rich dudes you expect a small raid group like this will have, they are actually pretty much just thugs, so they are probably just driving around a crappy frigate instead of a military-level one, and they are probably half naked with chest hairs showing like most thugs and raiders (e.g. Guardians of the Galaxy) rather than fully armed like a professional. In addition, their purpose is to do their kidnapping before Earth's army gets there, so they probably didn't expect any resistance, therefore didn't carry too many weapons on them or on board nor get dressed up because those shts r usually heavy if you want them to be able to work against espers. They aren't really expecting to fight an army, nor a bunch of barbaric low level espers, and even if they do run into resistance, they r confident that their power can take care of enemies pretty easily. If that's the case, why bring in the extra weight and slow down the speed of the mission?

translator, that mkes no sense.... "this is fiction, u r not suppose to question the premise and logic so hard." if that was the case what is the point of reviews. Hey review my book, but only if it is a positive review. otherwise say nothing. comments and reviews are only helpful to the growth of stories when they are negative. They shine light on the cracks and flaws in the writing. positive reviews, while motivating and cool. Are only helpful to a point when it comes to the quality of the writing itself... I keep seeing reviewers getting their heads chewed off by authors and translators on Qidian, all just because the review they left was not positive or because it pointed out why they are not interested in the story. It is ridiculous.

don't get me wrong, there r obvious flaws in this novel, and plus the really shtty sudden ending. that's why I liked the beginning the most, but as the novel progresses it becomes a little mediocre (or maybe I'm just used to it). But I feel like the "flaws" mentioned by Noxiety doesn't really make sense. Hence, after I said you are not supposed to question the premise too hard (such as why chakra exists in Naruto, why's there magic), I also gave him an explanation as to why things happened the way they did in the situations that Noxiety mentioned. But ya, my way of expressing it could definitely improve. It's just that I got really annoyed by these kinds of "just use guns" argument back when GDN was just published on my own website

Lol! It's stated numerous times that Earth's defenses are complete and utter crap, so why spend money when you can wave swords and whatnot? Bullets are expensive and power charges likely more so. It's called being cost efficient. Now if Earth had more than one ship or stronger espers, different story altogether. In the beginning of the novel, we're the Indians and they're the Pilgrims.

Pilgrims are fighting like barbarians tho... That's my problem! They are not using their flintlocks, not wearing their metal armor and not using their cannons... Instead they are throwing stones at the natives... They are getting killed by a kick and a metal pipe ffs! Why spend money when you can wave swords and whatnot you say? Why did pilgrims use their guns and superior armor to beat the natives then? Why did they use technology to beat the indians? I guess they were all stupid huh? I guess they should have just fought with wooden spears vs wooden spears right? Fk the guns they should have used arrows right? They spent too much money on their stupid advanced technology to beat the natives right? Hah you are funny mate, i don't know if you are trying to cut the branch you are sitting on by giving pilgrims vs indians as an example lol...

Yeah...why exactly did they give out plague ridden blankets and poisoned whiskey? If you can get something easily, people will take that shortcut.

Wth is your point!? I don't see these raiders using bio weapons or poisoning the air with their technology to do things 'the easy way'? So what exactly is your point? What shortcut? How did using swords instead of guns became doing things 'the easy way'? How did that become a shortcut? I don't get your logic mate... You are listing things that these raiders aren't doing to support your claim? How does that even make sense? Trying to be a troll or something? o_O

Do know that, probably the main cannon of the battleship protecting Earth is the only potent laser cannon earth owns, most of the military power is stationed in a far away place while the others were in the battleship, the last remaining few soldiers were scattered across the world. The pirates may just be low level espers, hired thugs, without any training unlike elite soldiers or anything like that, but even low rank espers could evade bullets. Strength type espers fight better in close range, most long range espers are fire/water attributed espers. The pirate raid was a surprise attack, they would not be prepared such an attack, guns also need training for using it even if they did have guns and some training, it would do little to nothing because the pirates have hostages, some casualties might have arisen among them. They were fighting to take back the hostages not kill them. He also has companions who support him in the fight, one speed user who can easily outrun bullets and one tanky user who well tanks for them in the fight.

TLDR : N0xiety makes a point that in the context the raiders were acting illogically (as assuming you can get ships (even bad ones) you should be able to get weapons such as guns) and that that ruins the premise of the novel for them, other people disagree using subpar English, I think I’ll give this a skip but I enjoyed the comments section

Malleus_FiderumLv12

Later in that novel this is addressed saying that interpersonal battles between the people with powers are done with armor and that these guys deal with levels of power that makes bullets useless. Laser weaponry IS effective, but the lasers don't come in small enough form to be on infantry. Now, that premise DOES have very little to do with reality, as do many others in the story. But honestly, I'm okay with giving it my suspension of disbelief. That being said... the writing is honestly just garbage. It's so painful and cringeworthy to read.

Linklight2Lv13

SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!! So... This story is a headache to review, but most of the views either hate or love this novel. It deserves neither. The Galactic Dark Net, as many greatly negative reviews point out, has quite the interesting premise. It is kind of like this: 'Earth has recently entered into a galactic stage, and ability users, Aka espers, are the representative elite of each world. Earth avoided colonization by the skin of their teeth. but their hero, Ke Lake, has mysteriously disappeared. Meanwhile, a guy named Han discovers the existence of the dark net, and begins his rise to become a hero for not just earth, but for the entire galaxy!' Yeah, boils your blood right? Well, although this premise and the ideas that follow are exceptional, certain obvious contradictions and oversights from the author make this story go from exceptional to mediocre. For example, his wolf fang battalion tactic operates on the basis that his void domain nullifies all powers without the victim being aware of it. Well, the author will drop this explanation at the drop of the hat whenever it doesn't suit the main character, or the battle he is in. In fact, the author even uses the void domain as a replacement for a simultaneous signal for a couple of masters to withdraw their source energy at the same time. Then, in the very next chapter, he uses the fact that it is unnoticeable to surprise one of his enemies... Sigh. Anyways, the translation is ok at times, sub-par at others, but the idea always remains clear. So its not like you will encounter issues understanding the plot, although at times you will question the infinitely numerous layers of plot armor revolving around the main character. Character development focuses mainly around important characters that often interact with the main character, while he himself remains largely unchanged. Of course, development ceases beyond this sphere of influence, besides the occasional 'oh he's such a genius' or 'wow, he's badass.' But this is typical of most Chinese novels; the story isn't necessarily worse off without good character development. Although this can lead to repetitive situations, the author avoids ****** the reader sick of the novel by constantly inserting new ideas, new unique elements to make the story more entertaining. Thus, considering all that I've said, this novel deserves around 3.2 stars. It's better than average (3 stars), but the drawbacks mentioned makes this story a favorite for some, and a blight for others. As you can probably tell, I like the novel a lot, despite its obvious drawbacks. Now I'm not saying that you will necessarily like this novel, but I encourage you to try it out. You might find that it's better than you originally thought!

HawkkkkkkkkkkLv10

Arghhh... I don't get how people can rate this story so fucking highly. It's a highly *******ish work but the premise is interesting. But that's the only thing it's got going for it, an interesting premise. Constantly throughout the story, the author keeps repeating things about the MC, about how he's "trained on the verge of life and death and that's why he'll beat the enemy". And when I say constantly it's really no joke. It's been repeated at least 6 times in the 35 chapters I've read. Every time taking up an entire paragraph about how the enemy is so strong willed and I don't know what. The author also keeps rewarding the MC with various benefits, all with the pretext that he worked hard for it and that none his age is as hardworking as him. Stop telling me about the f**king character, stop trying hard to make me cheer for him. Show his actions, show his hard work, show his struggles, make me naturally root for him. But the author obviously can't do that because he doesn't ever let the reader think. He doesn't ever lead the reader draw his/her own conclusions and frankly, it's really boring. Overall the story just lacks effort, and it saddens me because as I said earlier the premise is really fucking good. But that tends to be a trend with web novels and the like. Good ideas, but no writing skills to act on them, resulting in a work that doesn't even qualify as a solid ******* work. There are far better web novels out there that manage to capture both a good story and good writing. So I would recommend that you don't waste your time on this one. It will only serve to aggravate you // Ya sorry my translator dude. Imma have to give you a 1-star rating in quality and stability in protest of Qidian's useless rating system. Also wtf, Qidian legit censors the word "A-M-A-T-E-U-R"
