Description

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

In the haunted house, evil spirits run rampant.

Gu An: Husband, hug QAQ

Other Players: Isn’t this person scared and s*upid? Acting like a pampered brat toward the evil spirit……

Then, they saw with their own eyes as the evil spirit dissipated the black qi around him, retracted his sharp blade-like claws, and gently hugged Gu An in his arms with a careful appearance, as if he had finally found the lost treasure he had been searching for for a long time.

In the secret room, evil spirits were scattered everywhere.

Gu An: Husband, open the door.

Other Players: Is this person hallucinating? What are you daydreaming about……

Then, right in front of them, the door opened!

They looked at the terrifying evil spirit as it stopped attacking, thawed its coldness, and hugged Gu An gently and preciously, as if it was embracing its entire world.

Other Players: face pain QAQ

Are we really not playing a game?!!

In the first arc the blurb is as is often the case in Chinese novels, misleading. The main character in this is the smart ruthless type has amnesia as the tags suggest and is bound to a love system that gives him points for flirting with his spouse, but the system messed up so now he doesn't remember anything including said spouse all the while being trapped in a horror escape game.

I take most of what I said back as of the second arc, The MC gets his memory back... more>> and is exactly as said in the blurb. The system is blamed for something he actively tried to prevent, is pushed aside because the MC thinks he's annoying despite him spending his own money to give the MC his weapon and genuinely caring about the mc's health and safety. <<less

From the description, I thought Gu An (MC) is a cute and timid baby that somehow got drag into the escape game. But who would have thought that he's the opposite, in Arc 1. He's a cold beauty, smart and indifferent towards his surrounding. I was like... am I reading the right book? It sounds more like 521 talking then Gu An himself.

... more>>
Spoiler

It might be due to his memory lost. So far, We only know that 521 is a 'love system' who was the cause of Gu An's amnesia, even forgetting about his own husband.. Ming Ye wasn't having any of it, man wanted to chop the system if it weren't bound to Gu An

[collapse]

Ming Ye (ML) is seen as a possessive/yandere type, the typical "I only have eyes for you" type of ML. He's super gentle towards Gu An. Although he has dark thoughts sometime, he doesn't do it as he really cherish and respect An An.

His and Gu An's background is still a mystery, can't wait to see their backstory and how their relationship form (´ ꒳`) I'm too lazy to read the mtl for fear that it might ruin the story with the translations, so I'll patiently wait for more updates. <<less

It's alright, it started out ok. As the story progresses, it.. well I don't think there's time to do much with what it has?

There's 50-ish chapter in total, the first arc already took up 20 chapters. You can imagine that the pacing isn't leaving much room to build up to something more. There's definitely signs of it being a good novel, but I think they might've ran out of time/management is a little wonky. The latter arcs are ????? questionable. Still, it's a novel to read if you're craving unlimited... more>> flow horror!

Ah system 521 was definitely annoying (/derogatory) but don't worry it's replaced by 520 in the 2nd arc. I don't care much for them eating each other's tofu, and there's a common trope of looking at 'flashbacks' in the first and second arc. The third one is just... eh.. it's a little weird but creative? And the fourth arc seems like it was building on the foundation (the MC's character, by sending in cannon fodders) but the ending (Lord God's confrontation with 520's boss) -- is interesting, if not a little childish.

tl;dr -- kind of read like a series of short stories, don't expect fully fleshed out + wrapped up stories. Come in with no expectations. <<less

Started out with me thinking MC will have a cold, ruthless personality but author nerfed him and now he's just a tsundere wannabe, little rabbit.

It's a classic cliché with a Domineering OP ML X Extremely Beautiful Little Rabbit MC.

The arcs were all WTF. Like how did only MC and ML went back into the past memories but no other player did? There was no clue finding or problem solving at all, MC was charging straight ahead and everything went right with ML quite literally smashing a path open.

The endings for... more>> some villains weren't satisfactory for me tbh, specially the 2nd arc, like wtf they did so much atrocities and they died so easily? Author didn't hold back mentioning in detail how they tortured their victims but still gave them such a single ending?

The ending was kinda anticlimactic, I guess. Both MC and ML are humans so I kinda understand they realistically can't defeat the Main God BUT I read fantasy novels for UNREALISTIC things to happen naturally!

As if the main novel wasn't enough, the extras were added to extra piss me off. It was simply adding word count by repeatedly mentioning how much they love each other, how they each other, where they loved each other.

AND what about the family? Like with the things given I understand they must have suffered but I wanna know howwwww!?

CONCLUSION: The author does NOT know how to write endings. <<less

This Novel is so disappointing, like damn.

The sad part is, I truly like the concept and the couple is seriously cute but not fleshed out at all. The somewhat rushed background makes you feel empty afterwards.

The biggest part that goes against this book for me is a massive trigger warning, however, I highly recommend reading the spoiler to prepare better.

... more>>
Spoiler

The book heavily describes/depicts/talks about both cannibalism and animal cruelty.

[collapse]

I get the Author is trying to write a horror story but seriously this isn't okay. A Great example of a Horror unlimited-flow Novel would be Thriller Trainee which talks about dark themes and some really scary parts in it but none of just plain disturbing as this book.

Honestly, after reading this book, I feel really sick to my stomach

Anyway, rant aside, Do I Recommend: NO, just skip this one guys. <<less

What can I say, it starts in media res, doesn't do a good job with context or worldbuilding, leaves you with a bunch of questions, when they get back to modern day, things are random as hell and still, not fleshed out enough. Oh and to top it all off, it has a nice dose of misogyny too:

'Especially for women who were generally weaker and not very clever; aside from their looks, a slight scare could send them screaming.'

Yeah nice touch. I don't recommend. Don't waste your time.

I know writing a review for a novel you didn’t finish is wrong, but this one pissed me off so much I just had to.

I absolutely love and eat up anything horror/uf-related so the fact that I didn’t enjoy this one was very disappointing. The author should honestly just quit writing because they clearly do not know how to write a story that is actually structured with a well-written plot.

The main couple just makes me so sick to be honest.. Like I have never felt so grossed out about a... more>> couple (even if I hated a novel), but this one just had me cringing so badly.. The way they would constantly act lovely-dovey even during serious moments just annoyed me and the ML made it even worse. The side characters were also not developed at all and it is clear that the author only wrote them as brainless in order to make the MCs look “cooler”.

Overall, I do not recommend this if you're into uf/horror novels, like me, with romance on the side because this was honestly such a poor uf novel that I don’t even think it should be characterized as such. The chapters are also so repetitive and long for absolutely no reason. <<less

So cringe! LOL

I want to enjoy the arc, but got disturb on unnecessary fluff. I just wish the author put their lovey2 in place.. Cause you see when things got intense them being lovey2 suddenly inserted.

I enjoy unlimited flows the most but here there lots of unnecessary disturbance, I can't really enjoy reading it. I don't mind romance at all but I just wish they were in place.

When plot got intense lovey2 atmosphere inserted.

Overall

Nah!

If I was on an extreme time crunch & I really wanted to write a super fast unlimited flow, horror BL novel that stars a gorgeous, indifferent protagonist who hugs the thigh of his equally hot-as-hell partner in every instance... this is what I would write.

Plot who? There’s a shell of a plot. As far as the details go—sparse. If you want something intricate, it’s not here. This is a very ABC, linear plot with shallow motives & shallower villains & if you’re not just reading to pass the time,... more>> it’s not going to be enjoyable for you. It has an enticing premise because I do like the idea of memory loss in a horror instance & your husband secretly helping you win the games. I like THAT. But the execution was poor, extremely fast-paced, & it felt like a random deus ex machina ending. <<less

Alright I am pretty cruel with my rating but I have my reasons. Hear me out alright?

It started off ok in the first arc. Although there were a lot of plot holes and unreasonable parts, it was at least readable and somewhat interesting. However, after that, the story became more and more rushed. It was as if the author was trynna wrap things up for whatever reasons. The plot holes only increased and so did the power of the ML (Even though he was actually human).

The ML used violence against... more>> everything and this "black power" of his was basically broken. His identity in each arcs were never explained, it's as if a random God just spawned out of no where.

The MC. Sigh, I like the MC but... The MC halo was so strong it burns. As a normal person (The author didn't say he is a psychopath or lacks fear) who is pulled into a game where he is on the verge of dying at any time, there should be atleast a little bit of fear right? But no he just blast through every arc as if it's just a normal day or something, the NPC could not do anything to him and he was extremely overpowered.

Additionally, don't even get me started on the last few arcs. That was so rushed, it isn't even an arc atp, it's just a sketch or plan of what the author planned to write
Spoiler

For the second last arc, we never got to know why the people ended up as cats, how did the high priest create that undying thing and how the "cat" society works.

[collapse]

Spoiler

For the last arc. What are those random ahh scene like one second he is here and other second he is somewhere else. No other players were pulled into the illusions, only he was

[collapse]
If I don't read closely I would be completely lost like what is this complete mess.

Conclusion, the author probably never took this novel seriously. It's just boring, full of plot holes, and unrealistic. The MC and ML are unreasonably overpowered despite technically being human. I didn't even bother reading the extras and I also don't recommend anyone reading this. It's a waste of time. I might be rude by saying this but I am just saying my opinion on this novel. <<less

Imma be honest, I don't usually write novel reviews but this one really I gotta wanr any new readers. From start to end the author really didn't do anything to establish the characters or the systems, just suddenly tossing everything at you.

Usually novels that just toss you into action from beginning with excuse of amnesia takes the time to slowly return the memories and reveal the events but MC got his memory back immediately after the first world? And honestly throughout you never get a clear read on what happened... more>> between MC and ML that they become so lovey dovey to the point of being like that even during serious moments?

Even the extras just suddenly threw so much random new info at you?
Spoiler

Wdym MC has mermaid blood? Where did that even come from? How come suddenly we get thrown the fact that MC was tossed out and ab*sed by family? Sure it alluded that MC didnt get love as a child but the way it was written just seemed like he was cliche orphan? And not to mention the love system and game system gods?

[collapse]

I'm sorry author but I really can't 😭 <<less

I liked the first two arcs.

The third arc... is suddenly crazed? ... more>>
Spoiler

Like what's hallucination, what's not, what's going on? I guess they're winning? type of feeling

[collapse]
Almost like the author had to suddenly wrap up the story and had only a plan outline.

The first extra
Spoiler

made me go, wait, what severed ties with his family? what malnourished for a while? where's that story? Sounds like a dog blooded maybe face slapping one.

[collapse]

Second extra was locked, which seems a pity because I think it had to do with mermaids? ?? based on the beginning of the third extra.

Other extras
Spoiler

Wait what? They can change forms? Mermaid was a choice???? Where did this come from?? I want more details! I guess it was in the locked chapter... here Gu An mentions it was a card, which made me go oh, right, system 520 love system or whatever, that's probably where they got it. The fourth extra also brings in the face slapping from the story we didn't get to see. Why is Mingye popular in the real world? He clearly has star power or business power or something. Seems to be business power.

The info about Gu An wearing a bracelet Mingye made for him is cute, but how come he never mentioned missing it in the game world?

[collapse]

Overall, this feels like a side story to another story, and I want to read the other story, about how our MC and ML met, and the faceslapping that the extras hint at.

Three and a half stars, which I rounded down because I can't quite bring myself to do four stars. <<less

I read this novel through machine translation (MTL). The story and plot in every game were nice but what makes me reluctant to rate it 5 stars is because of the extra chapter that isn't related to the novel.

the extra chapter suddenly got me confused, Like this is horror why it becomes filled with angst and typical family drama suddenly?! The MC has a father who constantly neglects and mentally ab*ses him always favoring his green tea brother and his father even tried to force this green tea brother of... more>> his to flirt with the ML despite knowing that the ML and MC are already married. And additionally a bunch of side characters that suddenly question the ML about why he married the MC (they are mad because they had already planned to marry their son/daughter to the ML but were rejected before). So yeah the extra chapter is just another typical sht that makes me question the IQ of these characters <<less
