what would modern/near future chinese novel be without a drop of nationalism/racism? not a chinese novel. usual target for chinese to target are japanese, koreans and sometimes americans, so i guess i have to add author creativity point cause it targets indians. totally no connection with recent india chinese border clash. overall china numbah wan, we honorable, indians use despicable tactics. usual morality bs so mc can justifiably kill antagonists.
nationalism notwithstanding just premise of the novel is stupid. author doesnt know how genes work, so he mixed "genes" with usual xianxia cultivation trope of acupuncture holes. you dont clear holes, but you activate "genes" by sending energy to them and they give you special powers.
there are major and minor plotholes everywhere so i would recommend reading something else.
