Very meh. Starts off ok, but it just gets kinda boring. The cheat is inconsistent, and often long stretches go without it being used. The pace is stupid fast with a lot of possible content and development just skipped past by author. And the usual ‘sword cultivator’ MC. Even that development is incredibly generic. Boringgggg. Topped by a spotty translation where a lot of techniques names / cultivation levels etc, don’t get translated (in Chinese novels where these names are actual quite descriptive) means an overall lacklustre experience.
Translation is really quite good. No issues that I found. Story… I just can’t get into as the world building is incredibly SoD breaking to me. It’s very characteristic of Chinese ‘sci-fi’ which means extremely shallow understanding of sci-fi, putting words like ‘interstellar’ or ‘space’ in front of something to make it sound futuristic and incredibly generic terminology and lack of understanding of basic Sci-fi principles. The author uses KNOTS to measure speed, massive spaceships turning on a dime without mulching the crew, hand waving an awful lot in general… Overall very low effort. I mean, we live in a world where author has an incredible amount of choice if he just wants to lift naval mechanics from some her fandom. Not even putting in that bare minimum of effort? Ehhhh. Other than that we have the usual cliche developments, random over the top blood feuds, bet making, loser going way over line but getting away with it, and the future beat him, his father comes out etc.
It’s a translation man. What do you expect?

Ah classic Chinese Sci-fi. I.e just slap some Sci-fi sounding terms on a gulag story and you’ve got high tech science fiction!
lol, someone is still salty about the opium wars
Why not bind the armour? Since he has a weapon and vehicle now…
Damn… Yandere level. Niceeee.
Really hoped something one-off coulda happened….
Right. The most recent White House down arc for example is wayyyy over the top and out of the expected genre.
