So I finished The Earth is Online.

Lemme start by saying that I started this novel because a lot of ORV fans were saying that the MCs were similar and also their relationship was similar, let me say that this is all bullshit. The two MCs from The Earth is Online and the two MCs from ORV are completely different. They aren't even close to being the same in the slightest. Unless people think that smart people = all similar. So if someone tells you to read this novel cuz it is "similar" to ORV then you'll be highly disappointed.

With that out of the way The Earth is Online was great and a very fun read!

Tang Mo is a very easy-to-follow MC and the kind of guy that doesn't like dealing with bullshit. He is here to do one thing and one thing only: Survive. And he does this very well and in very entertaining ways. He isn't the kind of guy that likes to fuck around unless he's fucking someone over. He is also very serious most of the time and is only playful once he gets into a relationship with Fu Wendou. Without a doubt, he is following the stoic-cold and logical MC trope and I think he fills that role extremely well.

Fu Wendou is a cool and powerful ML and the secondary MC. He is calculating, smart, and very powerful. He is without a doubt busted, OP, and the one that highlights the MC Golden Halo the most, sometimes more than Tang MO. He is very tactical due to his military background but he also has an awkward fun side to him in which he likes to tell jokes but no one ever gets them or seems to understand that he is trying to joke. He is also a stoic-cold face and logical MC but add that to the fact that he's busted.

Honestly, when I first started reading this I wasn't sure how these two were going to get together when both of them pretty much share too many character tropes to the point that they feel far too similar at times, but that's the point. The two are very similar and that's why they work so well together and know how to fulfill a role that the other might be lacking and that's because they know each other so well.

Now, I say that I wasn't sure how the two were going to get together but to be honest, that isn't the point of the novel at all. The Earth is Online might be BL but it is obviously a novel that wishes to be a story first and foremost and not a romance or a trope of the BL genre. The Earth is Online cares more about the story than any of its characters and relationships and it shows. The novel is the strongest when they are playing deadly games, or when they are fighting the tower and the bosses and to be honest, that's what I was the most hyped about.

Yeah, sure, I wanted Fu Wendou and Tang Mo to develop their relationship but midway through the novel, it was obvious that this was gonna be a deadly, and hot slow burn. In fact, the relationship between Fu Wendou and Tang Mo starts very slow, and then steps on the gas and runs off a cliff cuz as it turns out the two are already into one another and once they find out who they are, the relationship develops even faster. Fu Wendou and Tang Mo aren't romantic either, and they aren't big on words, they have a few moments here and there but nothing that's praiseworthy tbh.

But I was having the most fun when reading the games they were playing and the deadly battles and that's why you should read The Earth is Online, because the core plot is amazing. Some of this shit was too high IQ for me and my pea brain but I was still so invested that I couldn't put the book down until I was done.

A solid 9/10 as a Shonen story, and a rough 6/10 as a BL. Finally a solid 8/10 as a whole. The reason why it isn't higher is cuz of the lack of character development and also the relationships in between characters felt too fragile at times, which I understand makes sense due to the setting but it still left you feeling thirsty for some kind of development or attachment.

If you read this expecting the gay Shit Kim Dokja and Yoo Joonghyuk have got going on then no, this isn't it chief, in fact Dokja and Joonghyuk are more romantic and gayer than these two gay men.

Fourth Perspective is not an unlimited flow, but it's by the same author as The Earth is Online, and it also has the mystery, horror, and sci-fi stuff, and that makes the two give a very similar vibe. (The main couple even have the same dynamic as Tang Mo and Fu Wendou)

They're completely different stories, but Fourth Perspective, being written later, is really more polished than TEIO, and I recommend you to read it if you liked TEIO.

The arcs are just mind-blowing. And the MC, Xiao Jinyu, feels more human than Tang Mo coz we actually get to see him vulnerable. [I love Tang Mo, but he was too perfect and composed.]

Like, why do you think Bai Ruoyao is such a popular character? Because among all the characters, only he actually broke down. They're in a fucking apocalypse, but everyone is still so sane and strong. Only Bai Ruoyao had a moment of weakness, and that makes him more human.

Y'all please read Fourth Perspective. I swear your won't regret it

Recommendation: The Earth is Online

I honestly would give this title a near perfect score even though its not xianxia.

The MC (Tang Mo- often refereed to as Tang Tang, Brother Tang or Momo depending on who is calling him) and the ML (Major Fu aka Fu Wendou) are an OP power couple. The romance is very, and I mean very, very slow burn (If you think MDZS is bad, you’ve got another thing coming lol) . But it is such a satisfying, slow building relationship that I really don’t mind it. 

Their interactions are adorable and their personalities compliment each others well. They are not overly soft towards others, but you can tell they are really fond of each other, and have developed an unbreakable trust in a time of such uncertainty. And while the novel may make you feel like an idiot for not being able to understand the logic of the MC and ML in clearing the Black tower’s games, it’s very quickly forgotten and replaced by the awe you feel for the author. (Like how they can come up with this content is beyond my small mind and I praise them for their wit and imagination)

On another note, there are quite a few adorable side characters including Chen Shanshan, an adorably smart girl, and Fu Wenshang, Major Fu’s adorable little cousin. 

I will also gladly mention an antagonist who makes the story better imo but whom other people seem to hate immensely lol. Most notably, a character that seems to have a death wish, while simultaneously not wanting to die....like seriously if you don’t want to end up six feet under, stop messing with the power couple. BUT.....that and his messed up personality and the way he acts just makes me love him as an antagonist.  

Anyway, there are about 245 chapters, it should be completed soon on novel updates. If you have time, and want a good story, check it out.

* spoilers for chapter 210

It was incredibly dark at this time of night. Shadows covered every corner of the room, making it impossible for even Tang Mo's enhanced vision to detect anything with sight alone, but his other senses didn't betray him.

The even lull of breaths gently resonated in his ears. The warmth of the body next to him was contagious, causing his whole body to ease into the heat. The subtle scent of lemons intermingled with sweat tingled his nostrils.

All aspects indicated Fu Wendou's presence.

His arms, strong and secure, were another indicator, wound firmly around Tang Mo's waist. Their breaths synchronized as they lay together, savoring this rare moment of solitude, of quiet. If it weren't for the weight of Tang Mo's newly obtained ability, Fu Wendou's ability, he could easily imagine that their circumstances were different, that they were back to before the Earth went online.

Tang Mo’s overactive mind entertained the thought of how it would have been.

They would have meet when neither of them could handle the anonymity anymore, of only having a name but no face, finally acquiescing to the unspoken desire to be near each other.

Back then, the both of them would show this desire through implicative remarks stating their availability and hints of when they were in the area, but it never went further.

Despite this dancing around, Tang Mo pictured the coy exchanges would have soon been replaced with more direct advances. Without the same sense of responsibility and distrust brought upon by the black tower’s world, they would have gotten together sooner, Tang Mo was sure of it.

When their glances lingered a little too long, it wouldn’t be because they were calculating, analyzing what the other’s next move would be. When they held hands, when they kissed, when they had sex, it wouldn’t be under the pretext of exchanging an ability. When they quietly confessed to each other, there wouldn’t be the burden that it could be the last time they say such words.

But the Earth went online. His now slightly built muscles and the scars that didn’t quite heal fast enough reminded him of that fact.

Tang Mo closed his eyes and released a deep sigh.

While his psychological resilience improved since the Earth went online, there was no doubt that he was still impacted by everything he encountered, plagued by the memories of what could have been. He simply buried the fallout of his and the rest of the world’s current situation deep inside, out of wanting to both represent stability to his peers and to fulfill the all-consuming need to survive, taking root in him since the very first game. He wasn’t to be held back by the ever-growing corpse count, on top of images of the horrors he witnessed in his day-to-day life. He adjusted similarly to how he proceeded when his parents died, but there were no funerals for lost people now. There wouldn’t be time to cry when it was all over, because in this version of reality, it seemed it would never be over.

Tang Mo was grounded by the sensation of a face nuzzling at the crook of his neck, his boyfriend’s lips gently pressing on the expanse of skin there. There wasn’t much of a need to sleep anymore, not since the Earth went online, so he knew Fu Wendou was awake. It was confirmed when the other’s inquiring voice reached his ears.

“Something wrong?”

Tang Mo opened his eyes, and while he couldn’t clearly see Fu Wendou, with being so in tune to the other’s mannerisms and expressions, he sensed one of his eyebrows was quirked downward, forming a crease on his forehead. Tang Mo smiled, albeit embittered by his prior thoughts, and turned fully so he faced the other man. This time, Tang Mo tipped his head, resting the side of his face atop the other’s shoulder. The words he muttered dripped with the same bitterness he carried in his smile.

“Just thinking too much. Even in moments like these, I can’t really relax. At night, I usually pretend to fall asleep and let my mind go blank for a couple hours or even sometimes manage to get some rest, but when I’m with you like this, I can’t stop thinking… which isn’t usually a problem, but it’s different this time. Maybe I just feel so comfortable, like how it was before, that I let myself linger on the more difficult thoughts I have yet to confront.”

Fu Wendou lifted one of his hands from the other’s waist and traced it up his back to nestle it between some stray locks. His slender fingers toyed with a particularly curly piece of hair, and a quiet, contemplative hum settled in his throat. Fu Wendou said himself that he wasn’t sure what qualified as comforting, but the gesture could be read as such. At least, it was able to make Tang Mo feel somewhat placated.

“What are the difficult thoughts?”

Tang Mo glanced upwards, where he pictured the ceiling was.

“Everything about our lives since the Earth went online. It’s so overwhelming. It feels like when I got Eve’s Reward again, like my head is going to explode. The only difference is with Eve’s Reward, I forgot everything soon after I woke up. My memories of the instances, the monsters, the people that have died… I carry it with me, in the back of my mind, always. I just push it down because there’s other things to focus on in the moment, but now that I’m just laying here, on top of thinking of facing the sixth floor tomorrow too... I don’t know, it’s just all coming to a head finally.”

Fu Wendou figured it was better not to speak at this time. While he shared similar thoughts, he might try to rationalize Tang Mo's concerns if he were to talk it out. But how could he form reason out of all this death, all this tragedy? There was no logic to any of it --- it was just the cruel state of reality now. Any of his attempts at what could be interpreted as reassurance would be pretty pointless, since they would ultimately be hollow words, a temporary answer to a persistent problem. Plus, Fu Wendou assumed that wasn’t exactly what Tang Mo needed right now, to hear what Fu Wendou was certain the other already knew. While this was a moment of vulnerability for Tang Mo, he wasn’t naive when it came to the state of the world now, ever familiar with everyone's self-serving attitude and twisted morality, of the crushing weight of their impermanence.

So, Fu Wendou lay there, continuing his movements in his boyfriend's hair, because that's all he could do.

Without any interruptions from Fu Wendou, Tang Mo decided to continue his explanation, blinking a couple times first, then taking a steadying breath as he continued.

“... I was also thinking about us. Of how differently things could have turned out without the towers.”

Tang Mo imagined Fu Wendou’s brows crinkling upwards as he paused his movements in Tang Mo’s hair.

“What was different?”

“Well, we were just less restricted. We weren’t overly cautious or dutiful in the way we are now. We were kind of painfully mundane in comparison. We certainly weren’t constantly bracing to face a pyramid of death, murderous fairytale creatures, and the equivalent of the X-Men around every corner.”

His eyes lowered to where he pictured Fu Wendou’s face was, envisioning the other’s wry smile.

After a couple minutes of the words hanging in the air between them, Tang Mo was certain Fu Wendou fell asleep, or at least left the conversation at that. Tang Mo didn’t necessarily mind, especially since it was kind of ridiculous to entertain the scenario based on their present lifestyle. So, Tang Mo was surprised when Fu Wendou finally spoke, a certain surety in his tone.

“Maybe we’ll have that chance to go back someday. It probably won’t ever be the same as it was before, that’s just impossible at this point, but I know you know that. Still, maybe one day we can have a semblance of that life. Together, we could pick the pieces up of what’s left and figure something out. Whatever we make of it, I want to be there to see it through.”

Despite the obvious optimism of such a possibility at the face of the end of the world, a reassuring feeling struck Tang Mo’s heart, spreading through the rest of his chest. It reached his smile too, some hopefulness seeping into his previously sour expression. As foolish as it probably was, for some reason, Tang Mo believed him.

Of course, while he remained troubled by all which permeated his thoughts, this was a brief reprieve. As Fu Wendou said, he already knew that it would never be that simple for them, that it was impossible for them to have anything like before the black towers, and that it also wasn’t guaranteed they’d even make it past the sixth floor, but he still wanted to guard that small promise of the future.

Tang Mo rearranged his arms so that they loosely encircled Fu Wendou’s neck. He leaned close to where he thought Fu Wendou’s face was, going based on where the other’s breath tickled his skin. He was unable to resist the urge to press a kiss to where Fu Wendou’s lips might be, but instead hit the corner of his mouth. At Tang Mo’s own miscalculation, a small bubble of laughter slipped past his lips. Fortunately, Fu Wendou guessed what Tang Mo sought for, and this time, they both leaned in, Tang Mo’s laughter smothered by their kiss. By the time Tang Mo parted, not without peppering other parts of Fu Wendou’s face -- his forehead, his nose, his cheeks, his chin -- and trailing some down his neck, he rested his head against his chest, then nodded and finally replied.

“I want to see it through, too.”

His hands now gently brushed those strands of hair at the nape of Fu Wendou's neck. The movements gradually slowed after a couple minutes until they eventually stilled completely.

While there wasn't a need for sleep, Tang Mo felt his eyes grow heavier and the numbing feeling of approaching slumber tickle the edges of his consciousness. Perhaps the fatigue of his overthinking, the events of this past week, or their previous activities hit him all at once. On the other hand, maybe he was just relishing in the feeling of the plush mattress, his companion’s sturdy body flush against his own, and the soothingly pleasant vision of a far-off future. In his own bed, he never felt so peaceful, so comfortably warm, or at least, he couldn't recall those times anymore. No matter the source of his exhaustion, he would succumb soon.

Before he dozed off completely, sleep-heavy words escaped him.

"Thank you, Victor. I love you, you know."

Fu Wendou smiled, genuine joy contained within his expression. They knew they loved each other; even if their minds were uncertain in the turbulent months leading up to now, their hearts always knew. To finally hear such a phrase spoken aloud was like sealing some truth of their fate, that they would have ended up like this no matter the circumstances. At the thought, he allowed his eyes to close contentedly.

They would attack the sixth floor tomorrow. This might be the last time they have a moment like this --- to lay in bed together, to hold each other, to sleep, to pretend, to fulfill what they quietly yearned for in the several months long past. So, Fu Wendou imprinted this memory into his mind, of the sensations and the conversation, and eased against Tang Mo’s form, slowly pulled under by a wave of drowsiness. Softly, he reciprocated his boyfriend’s sentiment.

"I know. I love you too, Mo Tang."

Once the response passed through Fu Wendou’s lips, the only sounds in the room were the ebbing inhales and exhales carrying the night into morning.

opinions on tang mo’s character *pulls out a chair n sits down*

ask game!

i hate him. no i don’t. yes i do. but i don’t

okay i don’t actually hate tang mo it was just hard for me to eventually like him. a lot of how he is in the beginning really annoyed me like idk he is an asshole no matter what, like he stays one into the rest of the novel, but i feel like i couldn’t really get into him at the start bc it just felt more prominent back then somehow. ig he wasnt even so outwardly an asshole at the beginning, just so unconcerned with the welfare of others and also just a know-it-all, that it turned me off from him. im just not usually into those type of characters

definitely as the story continued, though, his character grew on me. i think he’s funny as fuck bc he’s just super blunt and sarcastic, and just so completely tired of everything always just like ‘well, this might as well happen.’ i also love when he bullies bai ruoyao. 

another thing i like is that he’s competent or always figures things out, like it’s arguably another irritating thing about him because he’s so op, but im used to being rlly worried about protags, and i dont need to worry about him bc i always know he’s gonna pull some bullshit statistics out of his ass and have it all handled.

i also think his powers are really cool and i love his relationship/dynamic with fu wendou even tho they are both really stupid. while im generally not the biggest fan of tang mo still, i thought he was a pretty interesting protag which kept me reading
