Description
At the moment when the sun went down, Mother Earth finally got tired of the parasites on her body, and suddenly exploded with natural disasters for the sake of one hundred. One by one bizarre fragments floated past before her eyes. Before her consciousness dissipated, Mo Xiaoyao grabbed one of them and got into the dungeon. When she arrived at her destination after a thousand hardships, what appeared in front of her was a huge cruise ship. Under the gangway, the man in the shipmate’s uniform bowed to her: “Ma’am, are you getting on board?” Mo Xiaoyao looked at his octopus-like face with a calm expression: “Of course.” — One day in 24-year-old Mo Xiaoyao’s natal year*, the earth suddenly exploded. She thought she was going to die, but after touching the magic fragment, she entered the dungeon world and began her cruise journey. The racetrack in the mist, the weird circus, the seemingly casual but mu*derous hot spring town, the tragic team battles where human beings have to kill each other… The only goal of struggling to survive was to reach end point of the cruise ship alive with her companions – to Paradise. *natal year in Chinese zodiac is a year where a person’s age equal to a multiple of 12.

My Thoughts on Doomsday Cruise
"Doomsday Cruise" is quite the rollercoaster ride! Starting strong with a bang, it throws you headfirst into an apocalyptic survival game. The premise is intriguing: a cruise ship becomes a haven (and a battleground) during the end of the world. While it hooked me initially, there are definitely some choppy waters ahead.
First Impressions
The opening chapters are undeniably gripping. I appreciate how the author dives right into the action, skipping the drawn-out exposition and throwing us into the thick of the first survival game. The introduction of the MC and her companions felt well-paced, and I was genuinely curious to see how they'd navigate this new, terrifying reality. The first game was indeed unique and detailed, as noted by other readers.
What Works Well
The initial concept of the "Doomsday Cruise" is fantastic. The idea of a luxury liner transformed into a vessel for survival, complete with its own set of rules and challenges, is ripe with potential. The early games and instances that the MC and her team face are engaging, and I found myself invested in their progress. The powers that the characters gain add another layer of complexity and excitement to the story.
Areas of Concern
Unfortunately, the novel seems to lose its way in the latter half. The potential for team building, guild functions, and exploring the wider world hinted at after the team battle felt completely squandered. The games, which were initially a strong point, become repetitive and less engaging. The ending, from what I gather, leaves much to be desired. The romance, while promising at first, apparently falls flat, which is a shame.

Final Verdict
"Doomsday Cruise" is a mixed bag. While it boasts an exciting premise and a strong start, it ultimately fails to deliver on its potential. The pacing issues, repetitive games, and disappointing ending detract from the overall experience. If you're looking for a quick, action-packed read with a unique concept, you might find some enjoyment here. However, be prepared for a potential letdown as the story progresses. I'd give it a tentative 3/5 stars.
