Swallowed Star

After a global catastrophe reshapes life on Earth, many species disappear while others mutate into far stronger forms. Luo Feng inherits a mysterious legacy linked to the Yunmo Star and climbs into the ranks of the planet's three most powerful figures. During a violent battle with a colossal creature called the swallowed monster he loses his human flesh, then rebuilds a new body by integrating the beast's tissue and regaining his strength. That recovery pushes him past terrestrial limits, and he begins to explore the wider universe, chasing growth, power and answers about the altered world. Along the way he tests both martial skill and alien technology, with the series keeping later surprises under wraps.

Released in 2020, this animated sci-fi fantasy was created by Wo Chi Xihongshi. Voice performers include Zhang Xin, Wang Xiaobing, Zhihao Su, Vin Zhang and Li Chanfei, bringing the principal roles to life. It blends action with speculative science elements.

It hasn't collected major international awards or high-profile nominations, and industry recognition looks modest. Mentions tend to appear in niche animation roundups and fan discussions, rather than mainstream prize coverage, so formal accolades are limited as of release.

Although not a global mainstream hit, the series has resonated with fans of Chinese animated sci-fi, noted for mixing martial cultivation motifs with space opera scale. It sparked fan art, episode-by-episode discussion and translated interest that helped it reach niche international viewers, and fan translations spread it beyond China widely.

Audiences have responded positively, the show holding an 8.6/10 average from 32 votes, with many praising its ambitious worldbuilding and action sequences. Major themes include survival, evolution and identity, particularly how power reshapes a person and society as the story moves from Earth to a broader cosmic stage, and production values draw praise.
