Humanity at the brink of destruction, and a fight to save it.
I loved the plot of the book, in many similar types of stories the character ends up majorly over powered in no time at all, this one is a bit different, honestly every event has a good cause, that outlines clearly how the effect happened. There is no real surprise like the mc suddenly has a suit of armor that absorbs all I'll intents towards him, out of no where. The book kept me interested for every single moment. I have read it multiple times over and find very few flaws. Honestly my favorite book in its genre.

I liked the story but it needs some editing
The overall story is very classic Chinese fantasy and is quite wonderful. Though I was not pleased with some of the twist interns in the plot and how much it was drug out. Plus there was plenty of times where the MC contradicted himself. Put all of this aside what it really needs is to be run through an editor two or three more times.

Enthralling
The translation of a masterpiece, Rise of Humanity is an epic tale filled with action, mystery and martial arts. It is without a doubt the best translated books I have ever had the pleasure to read, in short, captivating.

Meh
You may like this if you are a big fan of wuxia novels. However, I couldn't finish this as I never warmed to the characters.
