Confined Together with the Horror Game’s Male Lead

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

I became a maid in a horror game.
And, here in this mansion, I was confined together with the male lead, who’s trying to escape. My role here was to guide him around the mansion and to give him penalties once in a while.
I just need to fulfill my NPC duties until the male lead’s playthrough is over.

“Once I get out, I’ll have you locked up the same way.”

This male lead was kicking up quite the racket though.

So I decided to help him escape as soon as possible.

“Let’s eat, Dietrich.”
“That’s a potion. It’ll get you healed up right away.”
“The escape hint is right over there…”

I stuffed him well enough so he had enough energy for the next part of the game.
I gave him a potion to use in case he got hurt.
I also gave him some hints to solve the problem.

Then, we can get out now, right?

However.

“Not sure. I don’t know the answer.”

Look here, smart guy. What exactly do you mean by that?

…The male lead doesn’t want to leave the mansion.

“If you’re not leaving, then I will!”

I shouted in a fit of anger. At the thought of having to keep looking at this hateful guy’s face, I was justifiably annoyed.

“Is this truly the kind of place that you can get out of?”

As he said this, the look in his eyes darkened sharply.

“Just so we’re clear, I have absolutely no intention of getting out of here.”
“What?”
“And you’re not leaving either.”

How the hell did it come to this?

It's natural for a flower to wilt, but the lady's bloom was forcibly plucked.

Upon reincarnating into a game, Charlotte, as a maid of a cursed mansion, is tasked with helping Dietrich, a clueless wanderer who ends up trapped in the building, to escape it. As the lines of distrust blur between the two, they realize cooperation is important to unveil the mysteries of the mansion, which slowly come to light as they progress up the floors.

This novel is a true psychological story, and if I elaborate anymore, I might just... more>> end up spoiling.

Seriously, from the start till where I stalled, there was hardly any moment I may have felt bored or exasperated. The characters are complex, the story is full of twists and action (although there is an element of predictability in the revelations, but honestly, they still left me jarring with its execution).

The story of the pair is truly tragic and I, having stalled somewhere in the middle, am a bit anxious as to how they will end up.

Spoiler

I do feel vexed by Charlotte's ambiguous actions, even though I know there is a reason. Still, I can't help feeling Dietrich deserves better. He's a true maniac, but a sweetheart to Charlotte, and honestly, anyone in his circumstances would go insane.

[collapse]

If you want to read about a psychological thriller story about a phlegmatic protagonist and yandere ml, this would be my foremost recommendation.

It was the sweetest lie I had ever heard. <<less

Bro im only at chapter 82, and things are already getting hella dark😭 like u would think it would be a slow burn, cuz theres 170 chapters.

Anyway review so far, I really love the female and male leads development, slowly going insane even though it's not shown obviously.

Where I am rn, ... more>>
Spoiler

doesnt feel like a romance, more like 2 insane people clinging on to one another. Its pitiful actually. U'd think it's romantic at first, but then it gets really shitty once u realise, these people need therapy not romance

[collapse]

But thats what I love about this book. I also love the missions, the mystery is chefs kiss, like im not into mystery novels, but these was quite nice to read. Each character plays a part, and theyre not just there to progress their relationship, but the plot actually. Which is nice, cuz normally people kill off some random grandpa so that the main couple would be like

"omg Michael, Darold was my favourite uncle, what do I do now!"

"Dw cindy, I gotchu" *embraces cindy*😉👴

Wtf this review is derailing, but all in all its a very good novel to bindge read, I hope it doesnt have a shitty ending and the both get what they deserve <<less

I don't know what rating should I give this one but maybe around 3.8-4?

It's an interesting story with lots of mysteries unfolding. Somewhat new. I do recommend it but I'm warning y'all, after they got out of the mansion, it drastically changed. Up until chapter 90, it was great, but then it took an unexpected turn. It started to twist and kind of deteriorate. Actually kind of puzzling because the author included much too many components to the mystery to make sense of it all. Although it had potential, at... more>> the midway point I had lost interest. Kinda disappointing. I was expecting that it will eventually go well as I continue it but there's no sign of getting better and it just gets darker. Don't get me wrong, it started pretty good but it just went downhill for me after they got out of the mansion.

It starts with FL that got "transmigrated" in a game as Charlotte a supposedly "maid" trapped in a mansion and meets Dietrich, the protagonist in the game who will have to go all the way to the 5th floor to find the Room of Truth to escape. As the story progresses, they encounter challenges. Their character will further change. The longer it gets, the more twisted they become. It gets darker. It mainly focuses on the mystery of the mansion and the story behind it. Also, there are plot twists that will make your jaw drop, it was frustrating and confusing as well. Both ML and FL are pitiful. They will lose their sanity. As I said, the longer it gets the more twisted the ML and FL become. There was a lot of misunderstanding, deception, and distrust so it was unbearable. I just feel bad for Noah at some point. I had to drop it for now because I can't handle the characters anymore, and I might pick it up soon or who knows when.

Spoiler

FL is actually Charlotte and she ran away from the mansion by going to another world and yet was eventually caught by the demon using bait and that is the game itself. In the story in the game, the young lady in the diary is Charlotte and supposed Charlotte and Dietrich were past lovers (?). They already met in their past lives. Dietrich entered the mansion 99 times already so it's like a recurring cycle or more like a curse and the last would be 100, the same goes for Charlotte. Moreover, Noah is Charlotte's child and I'm guessing that the father is Dietrich. I pity Noah because he's trying so hard to save his mother, who is on the verge of going insane (she's actually already unstable). Although it was somewhat predictable, I can't count how many times I gasped as I read this. It's a long way to go might as well read this novel.

They need to add a tragedy tag to this story. The novel was great, I binged read it. But having the chapters released up to c121 at Belle Reservoir, I opted to read spoilers to have my curiosity satisfied.

For the story itself, it's a good one. I find that the world building is great, it's there. There's a shift from the present to the past and to the present again, so that's got a lot of people confused.

I've been liking horror game elements in novel, and this one simply wasn't... more>> just a game. Plus, the more you read, the more pitiful our ML's background. Reading the spoiler, it was also sickening to learn about the antagonist orchestrating everything to reach that point in being trapped in the mansion.

Overall good story, needs a tragedy tag. Though they are able to get out of that mansion in the end. <<less

.....i have no words, this story is so tragic. I feel synpathy for everyone in this novel, both ML and FL are so pitiful that im kind of annoyed.

everything went downhill from chapter 90 something, just... wow. I knew it was a yandere story from the summary but the plot was too interesting to pass up so I decided to read it. now I dont even care whether this ends up in a sad or happy ending because either way the two leads have suffered way too much! they're no... more>> longer sane and have no choice but to lean on each other since theres literally no one else, even their life outside the mansion had been shit! the author seems to have crammed every single misery inducing experience into two people and then made them go through even more. I am starting to worry if the author is secretly a sadist.

the two leads lead hopeless lives, and slowly go insane in the mansion- that's the whole gist of this. if you like rhat sorta stuff, do read this one.

Spoiler

also noah is apparently charlotte and detriech's (fck his name) kid and to be honest, I kinda had a hunch but thought that maybe it's charlottes little brother lol

FL: is a maid of a mansion that is actually a game she got in. But she is the maid that at times assists the ML to help him through tasks, although sometimes she also gets missions.

ML: He gets trapped in the mansion after walking in and at first believes it was due to trickery from the FL, but he thinks later on that maybe she is trapped in the mansion as well.
