Synopsis
The people of Earth have been summoned once again.
Scientists document six extinction events in Earth's history, but none of them were as natural as they claimed.
Sylas and his family have been called back to the Browns, a family of billionaire elites with assets reaching into the trillions. He isn't sure what to expect until he touches a floating bronze cube that changes his life.
[Bronze City Stele]
[Status: Dormant]
[Time to Activation: 04:13:38]
Unfortunately, there's only one Stele and the Browns have already decided upon their candidates. If Sylas wants to control his own fate, he'll have to enter the Trial.
Now, woefully unprepared, and stuck in a world filled with the extinct creatures of Earth, he'll have to carve out his own opportunity... whether the Browns like it or not.

Just like all of Awespec's works pure gold this is his take on litrpg. check list: cool abilities, interesting gear, pending apocalypse, high IQ character, interesting twists, unique way to power-up.
This novel stands out as a remarkable example of the genre, offering readers a richly woven tapestry of imaginative world-building, intricate character design, and exceptional writing. From the very first page, it becomes clear that the author has invested great care in crafting a universe that feels both expansive and intimate, filled with unique cultures, landscapes, and lore. The protagonist is a brilliant and highly intelligent character whose actions and decisions are consistently portrayed with depth and realism. The author's ability to depict such a character convincingly is commendable, as it is not an easy feat to write someone who is genuinely smarter than most of those around them. This intelligent portrayal adds a layer of sophistication to the narrative, making it both engaging and thought-provoking. Character development is another highlight of this book. Each character, from the main cast to the supporting roles, is well-rounded and compelling. Their individual arcs are interwoven seamlessly with the plot, resulting in a story that feels organic and dynamic. The relationships and interactions between characters are particularly well-done, adding emotional depth and authenticity to the story. The world-building in this novel is nothing short of spectacular. The author has created a setting that is both fantastical and believable, with detailed descriptions that bring every scene to life. The magic system, political structures, and cultural elements are all carefully thought out, providing a rich backdrop against which the story unfolds. This level of detail enhances the immersion, making the reader feel like a part of this extraordinary world. The writing style is another strength of the book. The prose is eloquent and evocative, striking a perfect balance between descriptive richness and narrative drive. The pacing is well-judged, with a blend of action, suspense, and quieter, character-driven moments. This ensures that the story remains engaging throughout, keeping the reader hooked from beginning to end. In summary, this novel is a triumph of storytelling, combining exceptional world-building, intelligent character design, and beautiful writing. It is a must-read for fans of the genre, offering a reading experience that is both intellectually stimulating and deeply satisfying. The author has truly excelled in creating a book that stands out in the crowded fantasy landscape.
I tried to get into this, I really did, but the story is way too goddamn wordy with its internal monologue. The overanalyzing never stops. Every time a new feature pops up, we're gonna hear about it in Tolkien-level detail. MC has an idea? Let's get 4 paragraphs on why that idea is smart, and two extra paragraphs on how he might execute it. But OH NO! The plan mostly succeeds with a small hiccup! Let's get 12 more paragraphs on how naive the MC is, and how he'll do better next time. Rinse and repeat. The story isn't bad, but when I have to read through constant info dumps to actually GET to the story, it ain't worth it.
Just the fact that it's awes book makes me give 5 stars to it cause hands down his previous books haven't disappointed and I have high expectations and for sure know he gonna cook in this one as well, keep it up awe!!
[Chapter 827] It's just disappointing that MC turned out to be just like other brainless valueless characters. Maybe she did save him for selfish reasons. But it doesn't change the fact that she saved him. And now he is planning to kill her entire race just because MC's gf is jealous. Even though nothing happened between them. Just another web novel shit. #wasteOfTime
I've read a decent number of system novels, and one thing I never understand about many of them is the tendency to immediately disregard the rules they establish. I'm 200 chapters in, and I'm debating whether to continue because it feels like the MC doesn't truly earn anything. It just stopped making sense how he's constantly able to overpower every challenge thrown at him. The system only seems to exist to justify why he's "the chosen one." Why even create a system if, within the first 100 chapters, it no longer matters what level anyone is? The MC's "Madness" just solves all his problems without any real effort or personal growth. It's like a perfect deus ex machina that allows him to bypass challenges without taking the time to actually master his craft—it feels lazy. I'm willing to give it a shot if it gets better, but seeing comments that, even 500 chapters in, he's still Level 0 makes me skeptical. By that point, his stats are probably strong enough to beat most people without any real struggle, which undermines the power system entirely. Why should I care about any antagonist when I know the MC will just win immediately or rely on his "Madness" for some random 1000% boost to an obscure skill? Ultimately, there's little to no tension because it never feels like the MC's life is actually at risk.
Let me start by saying the story itself reads well and has kept me entertained. I just find the story very confusing at times due to it having a lot going on and the story is rather slow in it's pacing. The mc is chasing a perfect foundation so he's chosen not to level up at all yet, the problem is we're 500 chapters into the story and i don't even know what a perfect foundation is supposed to look like in the story, whether that be through a character or statistics. I really question how long this story is going to be since the MC is still an F rated being 500 chapters in and I'm assuming it goes as high as A/S or even higher. Story also just has a lot going on, between him trying to become the leader of the grim blades, to random dungeon events, to chapters of comprehension to merit leaderboards and Cassarae and becoming the city lord of a system city it just feels like a lot to keep in mind all at once and gives the feeling that there isn't ever going to be an end to the arc itself, so many goals and things to do i genuinely don't see him leaving the beginning stages of the Apocalypse till 1000+ chapters in which is just way to long. i can't help but think the author bit off more then he can chew unless his plan has this being thousands of chapters long.

Nice story, reminded me of "The Oracle Paths" (one of my favorites, sadly author rarely updates). I just hope this won't be like that and just like DD and GAB we get to experience a lot of new and interesting things.
This is Awespec’s latest work so as you can expect it’s pretty darn good. The World building is solid and the character design and explanations make you feel like there really people who have lived real lives. The story is interesting and the plots is something new to me. I’m very interested in where this will go.
I have read multiple of Awespecs books and they have awesome quality in writing. I would have to say that this one I think will outshine all the others in due time. Commented when there were only 14 chapters.
As someone who has had the pleasure of reading a number of awespec’s work I unfortunately have to say genetic ascension has been quite disapointing. The premise of improving yourself through adding ‘genes’ of other species was great. Had the story actually involved doing so it would have been much better. Modifying your genome (snake (scales? slitted eyes?), amphibian (webbed hands? skin?), or some avian creature (wings)) while attempting to maintain your humanity and avoiding bad interactions between different species would have been super interesting. Instead this story is just another add stat here genome of speed, add stat here genome of strength, add stat etc. The ability to just buy skills without a corresponding genome is similarly disapointing. Furthermore the addition of comprehensions and weird letter ratings of creatures and skills just makes the story convuluted and a mess. Additionally the author repeats the characters status WAY too much, it does not need to be repeated every chapter.
Awespec is back with another amazing world. The main character has many layers, and the world being built is intriguing and full of promise. We learn about the world as the MC learns about it, keeping you locked in and focused, wanting more with every new detail. There are hints of this being a story of self-discovery for the MC, meaning there is room for character growth, and this won't be your standard MC. Really excited to see where the story goes!!
Read when you absolutely have nothing else to read .In the novel with every 5 chapter you will find new character -new character comes almost endlessly .The system which oversees and control is so weak that other than MC almost everyone can manipulate it .And main reason- almost for no reason everyone will be hellbent on killing this Sylas even if they had to pay steep price ,as they think Sylas is the biggest problem in their life and there is also his former girlfriend who always wants to kick his balls and the plot pace and MC progression is so slow that I think it will take 7000-8000 chapter to complete full novel - to reach S or SSS rank. Don't waste your time

The book is truly amazing. The story is pretty interesting, mc is logical and not naive. So far so good. I recommend tp try this book, you won't regret it!
This is pretty solid work so far. The detailing is great but also not overwhelming like others. The main character seems like he will have a good arch and I’m excited to see what’s in store.
Overall a good read, Author seems established and capable, story is interesting and well thought out. MC is powerful but in a sustainable interesting way that still allows for struggle and plot to not be bulldozed by power creep. all in all a good book to read. also the Cover art is Hot AF
It's not very good, I read 800 chapters. I have no idea how this book is top 5 on Webnovel, so lets go over all the problems 1) Chapter are too short: Kinda arbitrary, and maybe it's because I've been reading on RR for the past month, but the chapters are very short. Also some of them are just status screens. I would be enraged if I spent money for a whole chapter of just status screens. 2) It's too complicated. At the beginning we are introduced to the Status screen and it is filled with like 3 different ways of leveling up. Now this might be fine later in the novel, but this is only the beginning chapters. The author claims that he took inspiration from Super Gene and The Lord's Empire. Now I haven't read much of Super Gene (only like 50 chapters), but I have read The Lord's Empire. If the author wants to implement both systems, I do not see how that is a good system. The power system of The Lord's Empire was incredibly complicated and didn't make much sense after about 500 chapters. but to add the Super Gene system on top of that? What a recipe for disaster... 3) The way the author writes. The author can't seem to figure out a way to balance the MC so he just intentionally nerfs him. Like he enters a dungeon and was incredibly successful? Sike! Everyone else was training for 3 months while he was in there for only three days, so he isn't actually that powerful. What a stupid way to balance the MC, not to mention that this happens like 3 times. The author also comes up with other ways the MC gets nerfed, some of which he walks right into. Quite concerning considering the MC is supposed to be a super genius. 4) The MC has too much stacked against him. Like I understand the MC needs some enemies, but basically the whole Universe is against him for being talented (which he actually isn't in the grand scheme of things) and he has like no allies. Not a very enticing read should I say so myself. 5) Slow progress: In order to get the best foundation, the MC hasn't used one of the ways for him to get powerful (the level system). This is incredibly frustrating. Like he has been level 0 for the whole novel (we are at 800 chapters btw). I would honestly call this bad design on the author's part. I'm positive he could've tweaked the already too complicated and confusing power system just a bit to allow him to level up. It's boring to see the MC at level 0 fighting people and monsters 30-50 levels above him. In conclusion, this novel is not very good. The power system is too complicated, the MC is constantly getting nerfed, and he has the most impossible odds I have ever seen stacked against him. Kinda weird considering everyone on Earth started at the same time. Anyways do not waste your time on this novel. 1/5
