Description

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

Due to past experiences, Wen Shi has become distrustful of others. He now believes that the only person he can trust in this world is himself.

****

Wen Shi unexpectedly got pulled into an infinite game.

【Congratulations to the player for awakening the ‘I Am Who I Am’ skill.”

I Am Who I Am: Spend one hundred points to summon another ‘me’ from a parallel world once.】

Wen Shi replied indifferently, “Summoning someone to their death?”

Until——

On the night of the horror castle, the castle owner insisted on finding the most perfect bride, eliminating one player every night until then.

The once unremarkable story took a drastic turn when Wen Shi summoned a girl with a long sword.

The girl affectionately called Wen Shi “Little Brother” while holding the sword’s tip to the castle owner’s forehead.

On that day, the castle owner became completely terrified of marriage. In the bloody dormitory, Wen Shi accidentally summoned a sickly heartthrob.

The sickly heartthrob knocked on every door with a smile at the indescribable residents. “Would you take care of me?”

On the night of Ghost Festival, when the gates of the netherworld were opened and the night was filled with spirits, Wen Shi and the summoned zombie stared at each other.

Wen Shi: “Come, follow my lead. The night of the hundred ghosts is dangerous. We should be cautious.”

Zombie: “H-hundred households’ meals smell delicious.”

Wen Shi: “Survive!”

Angry Zombie: “H-hungry, f-food, not picky!”

****

No friends? We can be your friends.

No family? We can be your family.

Wen Shi rediscovered the warmth of humanity and met a romantic love.

After dating for a while, Wen Shi shyly said, “My family would like to meet you.”

The fierce antisocial Boss at level ten asked, “How many?”

“Just a few.”

Liked the plot of the story. Every instances were unique but somehow to connected to MC's future path. The character of ML was also interesting in a peculiar sense. Side characters also had their own characteristics and involvement. Thank you for the translation.

Completed the main story and I'm in ch201 of extra. Please take note that this story doesn't focus on romance but plot, especially the MC, having the role of Dr. Aaron as he tried to end the 3S dungeon. Also, MC is really weak physically until the end of story. He's only lucky to have skills but those have limitations.

Probably, it would be great to have more time for MC to spend time with his new family. The 5mins isn't enough for me (but enough for them not... more>> to start a war XD).

Had a great time reading it and I like the ending. Probably this is one of the infinite flow where the system is true to its word. Though it's cruel but it maintains balance and righteousness.

Fortunately, the ML is what I've thought of, else I'll feel heartbroken XD And he's really cute!!! Personality - wise <<less

This is an amazing book, I found it in the depths of searching through Jinjiang and was so happy to find out that someone is translating it! The MC and the ML are both really... charming people and you wouldn't want to miss their journey and the mc's building of his family (they're all so overprotective it's so cute I can't-).

Anyways thank you translator for bringing light to this gem!

Very nice. The MC is not a white lotus flower that acts like a baby. He's a cunning but sticks to his morals type of guy.

Romance is subplot. The story is more of unraveling his life and the relation of the game to it

Absolutely love, one of my favorites - definitely my favorite in its respective categories/genres. It hits or exceeds each element I find truly enjoyable throughout media. Below are descriptions and highlights of some aspects where this novel shines:

Fleshed-out Cast !!

The supporting and side-characters are novel, interesting, valuable to the plot, and fleshed out enough to care about. I love the MC and ML, but I especially love that they have all these interesting characters around them. Particularly nice in context as they bolth have pretty lonely pasts.

  1. MC: He's great! Really cute and kind. Super interesting logic, can be powerful on his own but definitely not OP, making him bolth relatable and believable.
  2. ML: Hahahaha he's fantastic. I'm usually not about the typical 'cold powerful ML whose heart only warms for one", but he's written in a way that is not at all overbearing, doesn't ab*se his OP-ness, and is fully fleshed out and supported by plot context & story. Also cute and hilarious in intentional and unintentional ways.
  3. Supporting Cast, friendly:
    • People: There are a lot of them! And they are interesting, definitely relevant enough for us to be invested in their outcomes - even some who only show up for one or two arcs. They often add valuable perspectives. And they can be great audience stand-ins for particularly hilarious moments.
    • NPCs: Ahh some of my fav side characters are in this category. OP gets involved with them in surprising ways. And as part of the instance worlds, but with sentience (differing levels of experience and maturity though hehe), they have quite interesting stories thoughts & perspectives.
    • AU family. Adorable! Plot and instance relevant. Often add incredible comedy. Avoid overshadowing the MC and only step in as needed. I'd love more time with them.
  4. Supporting Cast, neutral/enemy:
    • People: A nice variety of big bads, comfort food cannon fodders, enemies-to-temporary-allies. Fleshed out when necessary. Sparingly are they left one-dimensional, and when they are it seems intentional as a delicious face-slapping snack.
    • NPC. Fantastic again, I loooooooooove the instance world casts so much. Such a wide variety of personalities and supernatural entities. Even in PVE type instances they have agency to make their own decisions, leading to some fantastic moments of enemies-to-friends (or

      [collapse]
      )
World (s)

  1. Instance Worlds: The instance worlds are full and unique, and easily support a variety and range of mini-arcs, with a balanced mix of thrill, mystery & investigation, interpersonal drama, horror, face-slapping, friend-making, and comedy; all with satisfying and logical conclusions
  2. Central World and Real World: The central and real worlds function as breaks and are comfortable and a relief after instance climaxes. They are a perf length to explore the world, supporting characters, and MCs relationships with bolth. Also are interesting enough to keep me thoroughly engaged & entertained while distributing relevant and valuable plot information.
  3. Instance Logic and Global Logic: Mysteries are often solvable and it's fun to think about how one could succeed in these instances & compare it to the way that our MC and other characters attempt to survive. While the instances span eras continents and histories, they have unexpected connections. Furthermore there are additional ties to the real world demonstrated implicitly thru people's experiences and actions.
Genre & Plot Elements

  1. Thrill: The plot arcs are full of twists and turns. We get information the same time as the characters, so we are solving the current mysteries and problems along with them. The author does a great job of allowing us to experience the thrill and horror of a solvable world actively trying to kill you, people you care about, and people you couldn't give two hoots about lol.
  2. Thrill (interpersonal) : Often there will be other people attacking in hidden and mysterious ways (as ppl characters can't actively harm each other in instance worlds), squeezing MC&co in all directions. People's motives are sometimes blatant and sometimes hidden, but always present and fleshed-out with consistent logic.
  3. Horror. The horror elements are supes interesting and a mix of classical elements, fairy tales flipped on their heads, eldritch horror, and unique aspects. Though I've read a lot of UF and QT novels recently and some instances seem wholly unique to me, I can't comment on how much is influenced by other works. I truly enjoy the author's flavor in all of these diverse but connected worlds. Additionally a whole bunch of cool supernatural entities and holidays are represented!
  4. Comedy. !!!! I've guffawed soo many times throughout this novel, and even notice some new guffaws on each reread. Holy ish the comedic timing is fantastic.
Story Structure

  1. Detailed storytelling. Instances and plot arcs are longer than I typically can pay attention to, but done so well that I not only can't take my eyes away, but also enjoy rereading which is p uncommon for me.
  2. Episodic storytelling. A method I prefer, which is why i've gotten so into this unlimited flow type genre lol.
I likely will continue this review after finishing the novel, even though it's super long lol. Hope my perspective is helpful to someone seeing if this book is right for them!

Finally finished.... yes the ML is JQR, the synopsis made me think it was 2nd commandment leader but its not!!! It's JQR. The romance is pretty lacking.. besides the big factory instance, this is all about the MC baby. The ML barely makes appearances and there's little to no romance. They like each other! But there's just not alot going on emotionally between them.

Other than that, it's a good solid unlimited flow novel. The instances are quite long, around 20 chapters each. But you can stop reading once the main... more>> text ends. The extras are non-stop instances, the romance doesn't develop lmao.

There's a whole family including son and grandma and mother but no father (there's golden father teammate?) big brother big sister included. <<less

What amazed me the most in this story was the message that tell us about "there are times when we have to learn to let someone go".

This story actually begins with the MC father (who is an MC from alternative world) who already had a serious illness from the start, entered the game world, he made many monster as a friends, and even made the game itself slowly become like a human.

Because MC Father is dying, the game then promised that if he could finish the game then he would... more>> help the MC's father live.

When MC father finally managed to finish the game with his life on the line, the game then offered his soul to be transferred to his other self from the alternative world (the MC that we know). Which MC father did not agree to, and then he finally decided to refuse. But both the game, and his "monster" friends could not accept this, which finally led us to the journey of MC who we know. They (Game and Monster) want to make the MC father know and feel what they feel through the MC.

Honestly, the way the author describes the Game who has just learned the nature of humans and monsters who from the start did not have human sanity, about how they want the MC father to be destroyed like them and make the MC father understand what they feels is very good.

The way they wanting the MC to be dead but at the same time wishing him to be live was also executed very well. And how the game and the monsters are very cruel to the MC and don't care whether he lives or dies but at the same time also give a small chance for him to be a live (Which if the MC doesn't realize of course he will die) is also written very well. <<less

It's a unique horror survival game. Like Players enter the copy, solve the weird horror problem, get the reward. Just like other survival, tge system here forbid Player to kill each other, so Player need to be honest and be good person. The MC is a newcomer hot potato with a unique skill to summon him self from another world.

... more>>
Spoiler

it's a great skill since the game will pull the best one that fit and useful to solve the problem. And the best cheatsheet is the MC it self. His adopt father already prepare MC since he was a child, he educate him and give him some rules to do good deeds every day so he have a pure soul and became so lucky

[collapse]

MC actually not that good person. But he have moral standard, so he became a 'good person' but not naive, smart, thinking out of the box, calculative and have a deep mindset. The game setting it self warn players to be good, no kill 'directly' each other but it set up the game scenes so evil. The romance thing isn't normal and veery slow.

Sometimes the scene can be so weird and hard to understand, so i'll read the rest after this novel translated <<less

No reviews yet, so I'll write one.

The arcs in this seem to be quite protracted, so if you like short and snappy infinite flow novels this might not be for you. The MC is cunning, clever and careful - playing off different factions to get the biggest gain/safety for himself. He gives as good as he gets and holds no prisoners. The hook from the summary (summoning another self) isn't as powerful an assist as you might think. So far, it feels a little under utilised, as the summoned character... more>> is mostly used to bounce ideas off. I imagine they will play a greater role later.

For the most part, I would say the tension comes not from the horror, but the political intrigue - whether the MC has calculated things correctly (and make no mistakes, he's not godly by any means, frequently having to adapt to the circumstances). It also isn't heavy on mystery solving, taking a task- based approach with a tricky system. There are occasional instances where the action felt less than thought through - possibly due to a lack of foreshadowing on the part of the author.

Overall (and this is still very early, I haven't really formed an opinion yet), the author definitely had a plan when writing and it just remains to be seen where they take us and how well they pull it off.

Feels like: Mist x Top Horror Novelist x High Energy QR Code? <<less

I finished it. I used mtl so I did lose quite a bit in translation. The pairing was what I thought it would be. This story was a fun read. I recommend for those who enjoy infinite flow.

December 12, 2023

Enjoying it so far. It feels unique compared to the other infinite flow stories I've read before. For starters, each of the "games" are linked stories as the MC's character remains the same. The side characters are very interesting too. I like MC's character - he does "good" deeds while still being on a different mental track from everyone else 😂. I'm still considering who the ML is.
Spoiler

If it's the leader of the guild, I'm sad for Jian (I think that's his name). It could be the guild leader because he's the only one that hasn't yet fallen to MC's charm (a charm where the characters think MC is on their side 😂). But I'm leaning towards Jian right now because he seems to be extra powerful (perhaps tied to the eye from the first fame MC was in) and has such strong feelings for MC.

[collapse]

I also liked how MC had a backstory of some sort on how he ended up in this virtual horror game. And some background into the real world.
