Description
When natural disasters ran rampant, with extreme cold and storms spreading endlessly… When the world mutated, zombies surged like tides, and eerie horrors emerged… When the apocalypse descended, massive Devouring Abysses hundreds of kilometers in diameter began appearing around the globe… When people looked up at the atmospheric cloud layers and saw the slowly emerging corpse of a colossal evil god… From that day, people began to notice that daylight was arriving later and later, until the sun no longer rose, plunging the world into an unending polar night. For survival, on that day, the Apocalypse Radio made its final broadcast to the world: “Everyone, flee eastward—escape to dawn!” … Lin Xian awakened the [Mechanical Heart] ability. He could devour machinery to gain various mysterious skills, scan machines to obtain blueprints for manufacturing, and even use his thoughts to achieve unified control of different machines. Thus, he found a 200-ton heavy gas-powered locomotive, towing specially modified storage, planting, production, medical, and living carriages, and embarked on a 320,000-kilometer journey along the planetary orbital rail—charging eastward toward the dawn!

My Thoughts on Apocalypse: I Built the Infinite Train
Alright, let's talk about "Apocalypse: I Built the Infinite Train." I went into this one expecting the usual post-apocalyptic fare, but I was pleasantly surprised by how unique and engaging it turned out to be.
First Impressions
Initially, the premise of a protagonist building an infinite train in a zombie-infested world seemed a bit out there. However, the story quickly hooked me with its tight pacing and intriguing mysteries. It definitely avoids feeling like a generic rehash of common tropes.
What Works Well
What really stands out is the world-building. It evolves from a typical zombie apocalypse into something bordering on cosmic horror, where the characters are constantly uncovering terrifying truths about their new reality. It's a world where zombies are almost the least of your worries, with dangerous monsters, harsh environments, and inexplicable phenomena lurking around every corner.
I also appreciate the protagonist's resourcefulness and level-headedness. He's not an overpowered hero; he knows his limits, prioritizes survival, and isn't afraid to run when necessary. This makes his struggles feel genuine and the stakes feel high. The action sequences are well-crafted, conveying a sense of danger where mistakes can be fatal. The supporting characters also contribute to the story, with each having their own skills and knowledge that are useful for the group's survival.
Areas of Concern
The translation quality is a significant issue. Inconsistent naming, especially regarding character names, can be distracting and disrupt the flow of reading. There are also instances where the writing becomes confusing, suggesting that some chapters may have been poorly edited. While the story is still understandable, these errors detract from the overall experience.
There also seems to be some issue with the portrayal of female characters in the story, and the author's approach is, as one reviewer put it, "weird."
Final Verdict
Despite its flaws, "Apocalypse: I Built the Infinite Train" is a compelling read that I found myself unable to put down. The unique world-building, engaging plot, and resourceful protagonist make it stand out in the crowded apocalypse genre. If you're willing to overlook the translation issues and the way female characters are written, this novel is definitely worth checking out.
