Before you read, at least read this part of my review or else get bamboozled like I did because the summary is actually sarcastic and very different from what the story actually is:Lu Yan, a former surgeon, was originally performing surgery on an infected soldier that was brought to their hospital. Unfortunately, the pollution disease that the soldier was infected with had already gotten into the water system and was infecting the whole city. During this time, Lu Yan managed to get his hands on a system and a strange King Roe Egg. With guidance from his system, the mysterious and taciturn Lu Yan navigates through this turbulent apocalyptic time with the goal of killing the man who made his life hell, his abusive father, who was also one of the first to be infected with pollution disease but managed to escape authorities and go into obscurity.——————————————————It's not a bad story and if you like apocalypse conspiracy stories or stories that are similar to unlimited flow, then this one is definitely one I would recommend. Because it's incomplete I can't say much about the plot, however the instances or arcs are interesting and the mystery behind Lu Yan and his father really makes you curious. I really like how Lu Yan is very decisive, he doesn't flinch at or delay things that he needs to do, nor does he waver when it comes to doing something that others would consider gruesome. Because of the setting/plot, I will warn that there is gore or at the very least if you're squeamish you might want to exercise caution. I don't think there's any horror (besides body-horror/mutation) but I am also incredibly hard to scare when it comes to literature so take what I say with a grain of salt. To be honest I think this would be more like a 4.5 if it weren't for the fact that I'm a tad disgruntled from the summary. Rather than a doctor in the apocalyptic world going around performing surgeries on mutated humans, he's a combatant/fighter first and a surgeon second. It's mentioned that he still does surgeries and is a doctor, it's just that it's very secondary to his fighting and he only does that when he's not on missions or what not. It's still a good story with an interesting mystery that I'll keep reading, just not what I expected when I first started and I hadn't realized all the comments from the "patients" were sarcastic (I literally expected him to just be a doctor and going around helping mutant humans) and I had read this before the note in the summary was added. Because of this, please note that I did try my best to not be bias, but alas annoyance can't be helped when you were expecting something that seemed to be promised and having it not show up. Overall, it's a good conspiracy-mutation horror story that has a very interesting overarching mystery. The protagonist is mysterious, but competent and it's nice that even in tough decisions he's doesn't drag it out or take 15 chapters wallowing in his remorse. ML at a glance seems very cheeky but fun, and honestly the system is a riot (when MC and ML first meet, the system asks if MC is interested in domesticating ML bwahahaha!). If you like unlimited flow stories or mystery, do give this a shot.
