Catalog only. The chapter bodies were not read. No quoted lines, no free-preview paste, no claim that a welcome row, a restarted chapter 1, or the newest button is the first door.
Search Rotten World, Decayed World, or 腐朽世界. The Qidian page does not print an English title. The mobile book page is book 1046465651, author 滚开.
The first story volume is 正文卷, and it opens on 001觉醒. 觉醒 is row 001, in the first 正文卷. It does not say 第一章. 作品相关 holds an extra and a new-book line. The next 正文卷 continues at 105. The newest row is the ending, 608大结局 下. Same writer as Age of Adepts. 200.37万 characters is the shelf label. The mobile page said 完本. The door is the earlier row.
Start at 001觉醒
Open 001觉醒 on Qidian and follow that catalog from the first story row, not from the newest button. The Chinese original, 腐朽世界, is the book page. On 15 October 2026 the mobile page called it 完本, author 滚开, category 玄幻·异世大陆, updated 2026-08-09, with 200.37万 characters. The catalog listed 610 rows. The public pitch was not copied here.
The newest button is not the door
The newest timestamp points at 608大结局 下. 200.37万 characters is a shelf label, not a dare. You are deciding whether 001觉醒, filed under 玄幻·异世大陆, is your door. 完本 is a status. The newest note is not this book’s first row.
Who should start here
Try it if a search for Rotten World, Decayed World, or 腐朽世界 sent you and you want this Chinese original by 滚开, on book 1046465651. The same writer’s earlier catalog is the Age of Adepts opening guide.
Leave it if you want a newcomer’s first chance at training, checked scene by scene. That door is the RMJI opening guide. The shelf is the Rotten World reading series. The index is where to start.
