Earth is initiated, and Alistair finds himself in a dangerous new world…
On a day like any other, an alien descends to Earth, unleashing untold death and destruction.
Alistair watches the live news footage of the carnage, his eyes glued to the image of impossible power made manifest.
The alien’s arrival kicks events into motion that no one could have predicted. Earth is prematurely initiated into a universe-spanning empire of cut-throat cultivators, beasts, and entities of ungodly power – all guided by a mysterious AI System.
The System’s first quest? Kill someone.
Amidst the chaos, Alistair must make a choice. Will he fight for the sake of power, or stand against the forces of evil?
His decision will alter the threads of destiny.
Separated from his family and friends, Alistair must find his way through a new world where power is obtained through conflict – and cultivation leads to the insurmountable Peak.
Whatever it takes, he will secure his own path to eternity.

Not sure if this is bad writing or bad editing, but it isn't good.
There's a decent - albeit generic- system apocalypse story hidden in here about a college kid climbing his way through the leaderboards to become one of the strongest on earth. There's an initial world-building phase, some kind of tournament that opens up the universe and a psychopath antagonist to drive the story. All the elements are here, but the execution is plain bad.
It feels like huge chunks of info were just cut out. Not sure if they were edited out or were never there in the first place, but it makes the entire book feel more like a highlight reel than an actual story. The skill tree system never gets a decent explanation and our MC keeps investing in random “skill leaves” with no noticeable effect instead of actually upgrading his abilities. There's references to training arcs and conversations that never happened...
My guess is someone went through the original, selected full chapters they deemed as not necessary, fully deleted them without adjusting and called this edited and ready for kindle.
