The way the story ends with “Mos curled up in a dark corner and fell asleep again” suggests a cyclical pattern: wake up, crisis, fight, sleep. I hope each chapter brings something new.
I liked the parallel between the regular rats’ peaceful life and Mos’s clash with reality. They think the sewer is paradise with endless food. Meanwhile, Mos knows about the cruel world above. It gives a sense of impending doom.
I’m rooting for Yu Sui to succeed in his mission, but I also want him to get caught in a silly way. Like not by being an evil mastermind, but by leaving his hate account logged into the team computer. The comedy potential is too high. If it turns into a purely angsty drama, I’ll be disappointed. Keep the humor and the self-awareness.
Qin Feng's biggest flaw so far is his passivity before the system. He spent eighteen years as a follower without trying to change his fate. That's realistic—he had no power—but it makes him feel a bit reactive. Now that he has the system, he's more active, but I hope he continues to think for himself and not just follow system prompts blindly. The moment he started conniving is when he became interesting.
I’m loving the farming game as her power source. The fact that she can store items and extract them is so useful. The instant noodles scene – Qin Zhuo says he wish he could take all, and she just does it. That’s a great moment. But Chen Yunfei questioning where it came from adds realism. Qin Zhuo’s “I have a little guess” leaves mystery. How did she get the contacts from inventory? Is it connected to the game? I want to know more about this system.
The volunteer bait scene choked me up. Half the men step forward to die so others can escape. Wen Wan seeing that self-sacrifice for the first time, from outside observer to emotionally involved, is the moment she truly feels part of this world. The blood—the bravery—it’s not just a movie anymore. I liked that the author didn’t dwell on sentimentality; it’s just action and then a quick, hard shift to planning.
