Kill the Sun: Book 1
Earth, thousands of years after the apocalypse.
Countless technologies and advances had been lost to time as the Specters, horrifying beings with terrifying powers, arrived and destroyed the world.
Over the coming thousands of years, humanity had built itself up but always died again.
Nobody remembers the past.
Nobody remembers what humanity had once accomplished.
Now, everyone is living in a world where the Specters reign supreme.
-----
A boy with amnesia woke up in the middle of the Dregs, the worst part of Crimson Fungus City.
The boy grows up and manages to become strong enough to pass an exam for one of the most prestigious jobs in existence, a Zephyx Extractor, someone that can harvest the powers of Specters.
Sadly, he had already gained a power from a Specter in the past, which made him ineligible for the position.
But then, a mysterious man visits him.
And his luck finally turns around.

Started out really well, but the author is just way too intent on making the MC suffer. There is literally no positivity, and every chapter gets more and more morbid and disgusting. Disappointing because the idea is so interesting, but I had to drop this.

It was... good. I'm not gonna talk about what's what in this book. But the ending,
I felt like the ending was rushed, almost felt like author was in hurry to finish it. Sure, a lot of things has been done by MC and his friends for the ending they wanted, so many sacrifices and the big final fight ended in less than 15 chapters. But we all know what's the enemy since nick found what's behind the wall. And since then, we have been informed of many things about true enemy so, it didn't felt like a betrayal, but would have been nice if author just extended It and tell us story beyond just earth. Don't know what happened to nurse Alice at the end, don't know how many humans on earth survived but some did, And some times I felt annoyed by MC's self loathing. It was constantly there. But overall it's a 4/5 book.

Truthfully while the plot isn't any new concept at its core plot points, the connections between the core plot points are novel ideas.
On the other hand, it is not for everyone. Before starting I recommend to the reader to search what "utilitarianism" is, especially the cases of the "trolley problem" which can be debated throught it.
The plot is also extremely dark and morbid especially around in the middle because lives can't be traded and measured without creating extreme suffering to the decision maker (or the decision maker would have to be a psychopath).

I am writing a short review of this entire novel.
Kill the sun is basically a sci-fi dystopian novel. Its story line and power system are unique. The initial chapters are really good. But latter in story, there is a lot of useless monologue and it seems like the author is pushing the narrative and shoving it down our throats. The ending was just so and so, but the novel is good by webnovel standards.
