Description
In the world of “Disaster World,” Chen Mo finds himself reincarnated into a realm devoid of the sun, moon, or stars—a world without vitality. To survive, inhabitants must become calamity wielders, plundering resources from other worlds to sustain themselves. This dangerous world is a place where beings learn power systems from different worlds and attempt to create power systems unique to themselves to evolve into higher-level lifeforms through the mysterious Tianhua Quantum Technology. Taking on the name “Traveller,” Chen Mo traverses from one world to another, plundering resources to grow stronger in this ruthless environment. He witnesses the painful self-immolation of bio-reconstructed people in evil laboratories, the wailing of castle wars in the misty Worm Sea, and the despair sealed by ancient cultivators in ruins and he experiences the gaze of monsters that appear once every thousand years in the cycle of day and night. As terrifying demon gods invade through torn spacetime rifts, they are torn apart by antimatter weapons. Civilization, born from the smallest dust, launches a great ecological extinction. Chen Mo realizes that the vast and magnificent wars in every corner are merely epitaphs on the road to self-destruction for the insects that rose later.

My Thoughts on Disaster Strikes
Okay, so I dove into "Disaster Strikes" with a healthy dose of curiosity, given its blend of xuanhuan, martial arts, and a biochip system. It's a combination that definitely piqued my interest, and after reading a good chunk of the available chapters, I've got some thoughts.
First Impressions
Initially, the biochip element grabbed me. It's been a while since I've seen that trope done well, and the premise of a character using it to navigate a world filled with cultivation and supernatural threats felt promising. The early chapters do a solid job of setting the stage and introducing the core mechanics of the world.
What Works Well
One thing I appreciate is the cultivation system. It feels like a fresh take, and the way the MC utilizes his "cheat" – essentially more time to grind before facing the inevitable – is cleverly integrated into the plot. It's not an instant power-up, which is a welcome change from some other novels in the genre. The plot actually acknowledges that there are people with similar or stronger gifts. Also, the characters, while not exceptionally deep, are distinct and memorable enough to keep me invested in their journeys. The action sequences are also well-written and exciting, which is a must for a novel with these genre tags.
Areas of Concern
I will say that one potential hang-up for some readers might be the MC's personality. While I didn't find him overly problematic, I can see how his interactions with female characters could be interpreted differently. It's a delicate balance, and it might rub some readers the wrong way, especially if they're expecting a stoic, indifferent protagonist. The plot sometimes feels like it meanders a little, losing focus on the core narrative. It would be nice if the author tightened up the pacing and kept the story moving forward more consistently.
Final Verdict
Overall, I'm cautiously optimistic about "Disaster Strikes." It has a lot of potential with its unique blend of genres and interesting cultivation system. While there are some areas that could be improved, the core story is engaging enough to keep me coming back for more. I'm giving it a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars for now. It's definitely worth checking out if you're a fan of xuanhuan with a twist, but be aware of the potential pitfalls before diving in.
