This is a relatively well done fantasy apocalypse for the first 175ish chapters that turns into a chuuni power trip that puts a frown on your face. an amazing read for those first 175 chapters with minor annoyances, but after that it takes a lot of copium to stomach the absolute waste of potential this premise had. Writing Quality:The grammar of the story is great compared to most of the novels on here with only occasional minor mistakes. The description of events is often repetitive especially in the case of female characters. Almost every single one is sexual and painted as a "seductress with a hot body" even when they are doing something completely normal it has to be mention that they have a hot body. It kind of takes away from the point of several scenes, but this is still tolerable due to the great set up and delivery of the fights in the story.Story Development:The story development of the novel starts out fantastic. The way that things progress leave you excited with anticipation for what will happen in the next chapter. The build and execution of different arcs in the early part of the story leave you satisfied and wanting to read a few more chapters until the MC decides to put his main motivation for surviving and getting stronger on the side burner because the author seemed to think that wanting to save your family was too boring, and the great story just needed some extra edginess to a story about a calculative brooding blood mage in the apocalypse. Character Design: As far as I have seen in this novel there are 4 characters with any kind of character development. the MC, his succubus partner, the real female lead, and Chen He. Every other character is soon to be annihilated villan of the day, faceless minion number 14, or peerless beauty with a hot seductive body with a bit of innocence that makes her even more irresistible. The MC has actually had a decent amount of character growth, but he goes from cool, calculating, and filled with mistrust to a mix of a chuuni, a young master drunk on power, and "I repay kindness a 1000 fold, and contempt 10000 fold." like it is completely understandable how the character acts and treats others based on the background given all until he suddenly becomes like a chuuni on a power trip. the only character that has had a good character development is Chen He. I thought I was going to hate Chen He, but he is the only character that has development that doesn't ruin their character. World background: This is by far the best world and premise for a apocalypse novel I have seen. The power system is interesting, the mutated animals and higher order creatures are cool and the restrictions placed on modern weapons is nice. Overall:I would recommend this to people want a short fun read, but if you are looking for a new novel to pick up and read with the updates do not waste your coins or fast passes. The fights are fun and it's great until the MC becomes a power hungry despot that has his head so far up his a** he forgot who he was.
