After the disappearance of his parents, Chen Ge inherits the family-run haunted house attraction at an amusement park. Struggling to bring in customers, he discovers a black phone that grants him the chance to improve his haunted house with expanded scenarios, mastery of skills, the possibility of inviting supernatural inhabitants, and even clues as to what happened to his parents—but first, he must complete terrifying and dangerous haunted quests within 24 hours.

——

The hearse with the weird odor slowed to a stop before the entrance. The sound of pebbles could be heard bouncing on the ceiling. There were footsteps coming from the corridor, and there seemed to be someone sawing next door. The door knob to the room rattled slightly, and the faucet in the bathroom kept dripping even though it had been screwed shut. There was a rubber ball that rolled on its own underneath the bed. Wet footsteps started to surface one after another on the floor.

At 3 am, Chen Ge held a cleaver in his hand as he hid beside the room heater. The call he was trying to make was finally answered. “Landlord, is this what you meant by ‘the house can be a little crowded at night’‽”

A very good read! Though I'm not a fan of this genre, it was still an exciting story.

The story if about the heartwarming adventure of a young man searching for clues on his parents disappearance. While at it he gets a yandere ghost girlfriend who loves him so much she would kill him so that the would be together forever.

The story has a lot of humorous points including where he chases around mentally ill patients, ghosts and mu*derers with his trusty hammer.

It even has the game elements tag, a favorite... more>> of mine.

To increase immersion its better to read at alone in a dark room at night. Surely it would have your heart rate increase by a rate or two, even a cold person like could have such an experience! How awesome!

It definitely deserves its high rating. <<less

One of the must read web novels along with Lord of the Mysteries, Sevens, Omniscient reader (at least for the beginning), and maybe a few others. Although Lord of the Mysteries is still the cream of the crop, top of the top. This is pretty decent.

This was actually my second web novel, and I can tell you if you're bored this'll cure that. It's instantly entertaining, intriguing, and genuinely will make you look over your shoulder while reading this late at night in a dark room. Although once you get... more>> into the swing of things, you might feel like it drags a little in the middle. But give each arc some time and they each have their own charms.

I just wish the last arc would be translated already! It's been like a year! <<less

Great novel up to like 750 ch (School of the Afterlife arc). Like many others, I've found myself skipping more and more stuff at that point. So many boring things I couldn't give a crap about. Also, as Zhang Ye grew, the story became less and less scary. It felt like the story genre went from horror to action. I didn't fear for his safety after it was revealed how strong she was, and she just kept on growing. The first half was genuinely fantastic, the second one not so... more>> much. <<less

I have to say that this book renewed my outlook on horror genre. On the first look, this looks like typical MC with cheat system, just tackling the ghosts. But in reality, it is not a system at all. Good MC, good characters, good plot, good world building. Everything is good. At first, many things seems to have plot holes and MC has a thick plot armor. The world building have many questionable aspects since everything is happening in two maybe medium size cities, let alone the whole china. But,... more>> as I continue to read, the questions are answered one by one. All the plot holes and plot armors I think previously are actually part of a bigger plot. I think mc's cheat will also be explained in the near future as it turns out, the cheat we think of is not mc's strongest ability. Maybe, MC may even be the scariest being in the whole book. Just patiently continue to read and you will be amazed again and again by the finely built plots disguised as plot armors. <<less

This is a nice horror novel. Nowadays horror game/film/moving comic rely on jumpscare and those thing only, well, scared u. It doesn't plant a seed of paranoia inside ur heart, causing u to look over your surrounding twice and fear for the nonexistence being under your bed. That's what this novel did to me and I love it to bits!

My only gripe is that Chen Ge tried so, SO hard to convince us that he's a nice guy. I don't mind if the author describe that trait in a paragraph... more>> or other character's POV. But when Chen Ge said that with his own mouth, he doesn't sound like a nice guy but a narcissist.

So, in short. Chen Ge is not a kindhearted man with a cunning streak. But a cunning man with a kind heart :'D

4/5 Cuz the writing of the novel/translation sounds amateurish sometimes (like my own review lol! English is not my main language, sorry) and at one point, it even break the fourth wall. That one instance honestly crushed my concentration wth. I don't remember at which chapter, but it was around 600. Just my personal nitpick, is all. This novel is still good, so please read it~~ <<less

God I haven’t slept at night in a week from how scared I am. This is a masterpiece. It seems very simple but there is no obvious “scare” more like a slow creeping shadow. It’s very fast pace, each night is basically a whole adventure. No s*upid sappy romance, the romance in this story is cute but spine shivering. Everything is connected and the info isnt just thrown in your face all at once in the beginning. Highly highly recommend but I advise you to read with your lights on.

a very great read. True, it might seem repetitive with finishing the missions or confusing with all the stuffs happening, but everything are connected to one another. I like how this story is full of suspense and mystery, and a lot of questions that needs answer. The writer doesn't provide all of the answers in one go, and if MC found one answer another question will pop up. Overall, this novel is very good, the characters have depth to them and the story is something that doesn't fulfill the reader's... more>> gratification and curiosities in one go, but it's a gradual development that makes the plot thicken the longer the story goes <<less

Honestly I don't know enough about the Chinese horror genre to know if this is truly original, but it doesn't matter, House of Horrors uses a solid framework of a young man who has inherited a past-its-prime haunted house from his vanished parents and a System to alternate between ghost stories, building the haunted house with horror scenarios that the main character experienced himself, and long narrative arcs pitting the main character against a variety of insane serial killers and supernatural spirits.

In a feat of narrative finesse, the author links... more>> up individual locations/scenarios into a tightly woven chain of events that logically leads to the main character and the reader discovering more about various villains and how the supernatural elements operate. Each individual story is a mini-arc with rising tension until the case is solved while the same is true for the greater arc. After it's completed, the scenario is slotted into his haunted house and there's a satisfying if somewhat repetitive sequence of his customers getting terrified and passing out from horror.

The MC is given sufficient motivation by the desire to simply survive the night, for his Haunted House to succeed against the odds, and to discover what happened to his parents. What's more, as the story progresses, it becomes obvious that the MC is, for lack of a better word, not normal. He is haunted by his own past; initially he's presented as just being mentally tough because he grew up with a haunted house as a playground, but it becomes obvious that his past and his parents' past is more complex than that.

Sometimes the story can seem a little awkward because too much is happening too fast; the MC only sleeps a few hours a night and expands his Haunted House virtually every week and since pretty much every arc is about one or more mu*ders, it can seem a little strange that one person can get into so much trouble. Of course technically we know that's because of his powers, but the story plays it for laughs that his contacts at the police dread his calls because it always means more work for them since he's stumbling across mu*ders three times a week. Also, it's a little too convenient that everyone who witnesses his supernatural powers ends up dead or suddenly gets amnesia somehow. Still we understand that this is the necessity of the narrative framework, and to be fair, there are actual serial killer masterminds, supernatural forces at work, and a System running around so much of the absurd probabilities are actually not coincidences in the end. But really, what My House of Horrors has going for it most is simply that it's very well written, and obviously the overall plot is planned well in advance, which is vanishingly rare for the web novel genre. It's clearly a labor of love and I can't recommend it enough. <<less

4.5/5

(probably the best rating I will ever give to any LN, it is short of a 5/5 cuz I didn't find it entirely captivating but can be argued to be deserving of it since I don't usually read horror or mystery and am bias against it) Having said that, this is probably the best LN I have read and will read from this website. Easily top 3 for me.

Good read, nice balance of horror and comedic moments, creative story.

A unique story in this entire LN website that knows how... more>> to jack up tension in its most intense moments and knows how to be comedic and relaxed in its down-time moments. An incredible well thought-out narrative flow that has the reader chasing chapters. Negative comments:
Spoiler

It falls short on character development; not that it didn't have any but in the sense that I feel like it could have been better. The uniqueness of this LN meant that the hidden missions of solving the specters' inner problems would allow a deeper understanding to their character to be conveyed to the reader. However because there was almost no pay-off at the end of these trials or re-evaluation by either party in terms of the way they communicate except for superficial things such as specters being creepier or a change in relationship status from the black phone, made these side ghost characters feel more robotic and programmed to me. This is why I found myself skip reading chapters because the idea of a guy getting new haunted house scenarios or ghosts felt more like a guy playing a mobile game than actually solving the mysteries of his own ghosts. I found myself skipping chapters just to read the rewards for the end of the mission or the hilarious pay-offs where people enter his haunted house rather than being interested in the narrative constructed by the haunted mission because I found myself just not caring at all about those characters.

The greatest strength of this LN comes from its narrative flow of combining mystery with comedy almost perfectly beat by beat. But this is partially due to the narrative set-up resulting from the black phone. However the lack of the author in tying character development and relationships properly into this unique narrative flow, is its weakness. Not to a point where I would find it to be glaring but definitely giving me a feeling that I am missing something when I read.

[collapse]

Overall it is a good read, interesting and well written with an incredible and unique narrative flow that other LNs would b hard to mimic. It will have you captivated- scared to death when it wants you to be and laughing in its down-time moments - all due to the skill of the author in crafting this story. <<less

This novel has system but it is different from typical novel

System does not increase MC fighting power directly but it increases horror level of his horror house.

So far I am really enjoying reading My House of Horrors. I binge read all the chapters in one go because I could not put it down. I'm still craving the next update. The plot starts off mediocre but once the paranormal activity starts I assure you, you'll start seeing things in the dark.

I enjoyed this novel a lot. The horror was written beautifully, and whilst there definitely thrilling moments, the comedy sprinkled in gave the whole novel a great sense of balance that makes you want to read more. Chen Ge is a likeable protagonist - he's witty, fearless and endearing. The only thing stopping me from giving this a 5 star rating was the toning down of the horror towards the end (censorship issues I'm guessing). The end was enjoyable, and it felt like a great place to end the story.... more>> Would definitely recommend. <<less

I binged the entire thing! The horror is at just the right level for me and the different scenarios draw on different tropes, but still feel unique. I think my favorite one was ... more>>
Spoiler

the ghost fetus one with Ying Tong since having the main character go completely blind was a new concept to me

[collapse]

There are some moments where Chen Ge feels entirely out matched, or totally overpowered, but I think it strikes a good balance. The power scaling ramps up at a decent pace, but I don't think I paid much attention to it.

The bits of horror in this novel are well done, and even though some of them draw from tropes, the characters make it feel unique. Some parts were genuinely a little spooky and had me tossing and turning before bed.

Now this book isn't completely spooky, it still has its humor and some heart warming moments.
Spoiler

Zhang Ya !!!! Xu Yin!! <3

[collapse]

There are some philosophical bits, but it isn't in your face about it.

I think Chen Ge is a strong protagonist who gets more endearing as the story progresses. The ending nicely tied up everything and connected all the dots, but it did feel like a bit of a word dump....

I used to read this book when it was regularly updating years ago, and have only recently picked the book back up. I do think that if you don't read the book in a short period of time, the overarching plot can feel a bit too barely there, making it feel a little repetitive since the author isn't in your face about repeating plot points and connections.

Overall, I would give the story 4.5 but I'm bumping the review up because I really liked the characters. I do think that if you don't finish the story it feels a little lackluster, but the closer to the end the better it gets! <<less

This was one of first book that I read only during night time and when everything around me was silent except rotation of fan in my room and my breathing and my heart beating. This book was one of those for which I will gladly delete this memory from my brain, consciousness, body to re-read it again and again and again.

Now lets talk about the important points:

1. The gore was handled perfectly, it doesn't felt like a story where parents abandoned there child like in most CN novels (not all)... more>> they definitely had purpose.

2. Now the mystery it was awesome for me where our 'boss' uncovers many vicious crimes hidden, many dark under currents surging in the city.

3. Characters were fleshed out I would give 9. 3/10, each character with their own purpose, flaws in them which make them more realistic.

4. Horror which is the name of the book itself this book is just awesome in this genre. <<less

I finished this about 3 years ago if I remember correctly.

While not the most eye-catching with the cover art, it surely pulled me in. I remember waiting for chapters and reading them first thing in the morning on the way to school. I'd sit there, with goosebumps and anxiety, and tune out everything else on the school bus.

Some say that it gets repetitive, and that's true, but there's only so much you can do when you focus on one concept. Which is why it ended where it did and didn't... more>> continue on and on.

I cried at least once in my reading because I was so invested in the story. This was my way of ignoring things around me. While I read other novels throughout school, this one stuck with me the most.

Coming from a reader on a website in a language you probably don't speak I just have to say this. Good Job author for being one of the best novels I've ever read. You really changed my life throughout High School. I'm not exaggerating and I'm not lying in the slightest when I say that I love your work so much. <<less

This is the rare cn webnovel where its length actually feels justified. There are definitely a couple of moments where the story gets a little boring, but they are the exception to the rule. This novel isn't for everyone, but I think that anyone who likes webnovels should at least give it a try.

I should mention that while this is horror its not super scary, its more entertaining horror if anything. Don't get me wrong, it has a good atmosphere and plenty of thrilling and haunting sequences, but it also... more>> has a lot of horror comedy. Around 700 chapters in China put heavy restrictions on supernatural horrors fiction, this caused the novel to go in a somewhat different direction in terms of style, but I don't think it was worse and in some ways it kept things fresh. It ended up going for a more urban fantasy feel that you might find in older japanese light novels while still keeping horror aspects. This novel also has plenty of mysteries, intrigue, and scheming. Its all surprisingly well done and the reveals are generally satisfying with maybe a couple fumbles.

While I wouldn't say the characters are the main draw of the story, there are some standouts, including the protagonist and the main villains of the first two parts of the story. There are also plenty of side characters that are memorable. The recurring characters in the haunted house sequences are pretty funny.

The romance is also fairly interesting, though maybe not for the reasons you would typically suspect. It starts out as kind of a comedic horror element that isn't super prevalent, but it has some pretty bittersweet moments especially in the last couple hundred chapters. I wouldn't go so far as to call it good romance, especially with how minimalist it is, but it has some good heartfelt moments that make it justifiable and honestly pretty touching at times. Even if some of the feelings involved appear seemingly out of nowhere.

This novel is ultimately pretty flawed but so is basically every novel you can find on this site. It's the peaks that make webnovels worth it, and the valleys for this one are sparse and not so bad. <<less

I love this novel very much. It is one of the few novels in which the main character is distinguished. The rest of the characters have a role and are also loved. Also, this novel discusses many social issues mixed with psychological horror more than bloody horror.

The writer was able to amazingly depict the MC's surroundings and make him so close to the reader that he made me feel as if I was living with Chen Ge in Jiujiang (the city where the MC lives). Speaking of forensic university students,... more>> I remember that they are the most frequent visitor to Chen Ge's horror house (lol).

The scenarios of the horror house are very diverse and of a nature that makes me want to try entering it, the most fun seasons are the ones in which a group of arrogant cynics come to enter the horror house, it makes me laugh a lot 😂😂.

The horror here for me lies in the anxiety that I feel in the thoughts and actions of the madmen in this story. It is not horror in itself, but rather it is like fun to know what this madman will do. The way the narration is what makes this fun.

There is also the mystery that makes the background of the MC unclear and makes the puzzles here interesting and interesting. The mystery of the scenarios and characters is also very wonderful, especially when the black phone gives scenarios to try it. Chen Ge has to decipher all this mystery and solve the interlocking puzzles to reach his goal and in Often times to save his life.

After all, I would only advise that you give this novel a chance because it deserves it.

Forgive me for the mistakes, I have tried to use my English as best I can. <<less
