With the end of the world nearing, a terrible pollution disease swept through the world. “We call it mutation, but perhaps the history records of later generations will call it an evolution.” The world of the evolved was particularly competitive. Today, that person’s head split into two. Tomorrow, that flower would grow fangs. The day after that, that fish would climb ashore with its legs… Lu Yan: And I am merely an ordinary doctor who treats the pollution disease. * Patient A: When I first grew 18 tent**les, Dr. Lu came and cut 17 of them off for me. He’s really a brilliant doctor! Patient B: I am a poisonous mushroom. My spores are highly toxic and can be parasitic. I gave birth to hundreds of thousands of microspores, which made it worse for my already not-so-wealthy family. Dr. Lu helped me practice family planning when he came. This great kindness will forever be remembered! Patient C: I have eight mouths. I was a picky eater and only ate meat, so I set up a slaughterhouse for this purpose. But then, Dr. Lu cured my picky eating. This woman of faith is willing to be a vegetarian for the rest of her life in exchange for Dr. Lu’s happiness and well-being. sarcastic smile.jpg Lu Yan, the top of the food chain, the eternal god.

After the Global Evolution, I Stand at the Top of the Food Chain Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator

My Thoughts on After the Global Evolution, I Stand at the Top of the Food Chain

This novel promised a wild ride through a mutated, apocalyptic world, and while it wasn't exactly what I expected, I definitely found it engaging. "After the Global Evolution, I Stand at the Top of the Food Chain" throws you headfirst into a world ravaged by pollution, where humans either become monsters or gain unique abilities.

First Impressions

Okay, I have to be honest, the summary is a bit of a troll. I went in expecting a cutesy, light-hearted shounen-ai story with a doctor patching up mutated patients, but what I got was a much darker, conspiracy-laden apocalyptic tale. Lu Yan, our protagonist, isn't just a surgeon; he's a powerful fighter with a mysterious past and a system-like ability that offers witty commentary. It was a surprise, but a welcome one.

What Works Well

The world-building is definitely a strong point. The author paints a vivid picture of a world twisted by pollution, with bizarre and disturbing transformations. I appreciated how the characters, even the mutated ones, felt real and complex. They weren't just good or bad; their actions were shaped by the circumstances and the influence of pollution. The pacing is also well done, keeping me hooked from beginning to end. I also enjoyed the unique "ability" users and the "eldritch horror" themes. The system is hilarious and the author balances comedy with drama, sweetness with seriousness, and positivity with tragedy.

Areas of Concern

While I enjoyed the overall story, I can see why some readers felt a bit disappointed. The romance, while present, is definitely a slow burn and takes a backseat to the main plot. Also, the side characters didn't get the attention they needed, and I felt that some of them were underdeveloped.

Despite a few minor flaws and a misleading summary, "After the Global Evolution, I Stand at the Top of the Food Chain" is a worthwhile read.

Just be prepared for a darker, more complex story than the summary might suggest.
