Description
In the world birthed by Pangu, the Three Sovereigns lit the spark of humanity that the Five Emperors would later fan into a blazing fire, eternally branding humanity as the leaders of the world…. This was a time where twilight had descended on the reign of the Human Sovereign and the Five Emperors had yet to emerge – humanity was merely one of the myriad races wandering about the vast cosmos. This was a desolate and barren era. The monsters, devils, heavenly gods, and deities of all races stood aloft; with the demons, heavenly souls, and spirits dancing freely around the world. The humans were still a feeble and burgeoning race, often taken as livestock and offered as sacrifices to the pantheon of races that ruled the world together from within the great wilderness. This was not the era of the Foreworld, but the barbaric and untamed era of uncivilization! Let us rewind back to China’s ancient and classical mythology and recount the legendary tale of how a single figure led humanity out of an epoch of darkness and into a new dawn. Please sit back, relax and enjoy the (Rise of Humanity) !

My Thoughts on Rise of Humanity
"Rise of Humanity" is a web novel that definitely took me on a journey. With a 3.9/5 rating from over 200 votes, I went in expecting something solid, and while it wasn't always smooth sailing, I can see why it has its dedicated fans. The genres—action, adventure, fantasy, martial arts, and xuanhuan—promise a wild ride, and for the most part, it delivers.
First Impressions
Initially, I was a bit hesitant. Some early reviews were harsh, labeling it as "garbage" and full of overused tropes. Others noted that the initial chapters were slow, with too much focus on descriptions and not enough plot progression. I almost gave up, but I'm glad I pushed through because many readers said that the story significantly improves after the first 50 to 150 chapters.
What Works Well
Once the story hits its stride, it becomes quite captivating. I really appreciated the unique cultivation system and the focus on humanity's struggle against powerful celestial beings and monsters. It's not just about individual power; it's about the survival of an entire race. The world-building is intricate, and I enjoyed uncovering the secrets of the past alongside the main character, Zhong Yue. Several readers praised the plot twists and the cleverness of both the enemies and the allies. I agree that the fights are well-written, and I found myself emotionally invested in the outcomes. As the MC leaves his starting planet, the story really opens up and the cast of characters expands.
Areas of Concern
While the novel has many strong points, it's not without its flaws. Some readers found the main character to be bland, lacking a compelling backstory or strong personal motivations early on. Others criticized the character development, noting that side characters often felt shallow. The math isn't always perfect, which can be distracting. Some early sections can feel generic, and there's a bit of a pseudo-harem element that might not appeal to everyone.

Final Verdict
"Rise of Humanity" is a web novel that requires patience. The beginning can be rough, but if you stick with it, you'll be rewarded with a complex world, a unique cultivation system, and a compelling story about humanity's fight for survival. It's not perfect, but it's a solid read for fans of the xuanhuan genre who are willing to invest the time. I'd recommend giving it a try, but be prepared to push through the initial chapters to get to the good stuff.
