    At the moment of writing this, there are 175 chapters, and I've caught up! Now, I'll give a brief review. I'd rate it 9/10. To be honest, the recent chapters left me speechless - no exaggeration; I had to pause my music, wipe away tears, and re-read the kissing scene, momentarily forgetting about Tsuchimikado's situation. Haha.

    The novel doesn't heavily focus on horror; the protagonist seems to have it pretty easy. If you're looking for chills, this might not be your cup of tea. The story mainly revolves around two aspects: delving into the background and resolving the horror incidents as the protagonist progresses, and the dynamic between the main character (MC) and the male lead (ML), which involves friendly competition.

    I'm quite pleased with how the plot unfolds; it keeps moving forward, never allowing for a dull moment, thanks to the system's constant action. It's all quite entertaining! As for characters, I sense the author has a personal understanding of apathy, which makes the MC's portrayal relatable. I enjoy that touch – it adds depth. And the chemistry between ML and MC is incredible; MC seems to effortlessly manipulate the "fearless big boss" ML, making it a hilarious dynamic.

    Considering humor, I'd classify this as a comedy; it's just too amusing. The supporting characters add even more laughter, especially those younger siblings accompanying MC – they're a riot! Overall, an excellent read so far, with great translation. If you come across its completion, definitely give it a try.

    This novel was simply breathtaking from start to finish. I thoroughly enjoyed every word, and even the additional content brought immense joy. It's the first time I've genuinely loved an enemies-to-lovers story. Each character, even the supporting ones, held my interest. The gaming elements were thrilling throughout, and I can wholeheartedly say that this isn't just any ordinary light novel; it deserves a hardcover edition and a special place on my bookshelf. I am grateful to the author for creating such a wonderful reading experience.

    I had previously read this novel when it was only around 60 chapters, so I decided to revisit it when I discovered it had been updated to 120 chapters! Despite the expansion, it was such an engaging read that it felt like starting anew – I finished it in under an hour, though, which left me wanting more! This story is perfect for my taste.

    Both main characters resonate with me. The constant tension between them was captivating, and I thoroughly enjoyed the complex chemistry between them. It was the ideal dynamic for me.

    If you appreciate twisted or detached protagonists, this novel might be right up your alley. Both leads aren't mentally stable; their perspectives on the world aren't conventional. In essence, they both crave control and manipulate others.

    A spoiler alert: It appears that the leads are fated adversaries, with similarities and differences. The male lead is already deeply disturbed, while the protagonist retains a sense of wildness, believing it's integral to his identity. As the protagonist comes from a peaceful, real-world background, he may display apathy but still possesses humanity. In contrast, the male lead takes pleasure in others' struggles and conflicts. Despite their shared traits, they remain distinct individuals.

    In conclusion, give this novel a try if you're interested in exploring these unique character dynamics.

    This novel was exceptional; I even decided to translate it myself, and surprisingly, it didn't cause me too much headache. The author's writing style is clear and vivid, which makes it comprehensible even in a rough translation. As someone who generally avoids horror stories due to my fear, I found this book pleasantly surprising.尽管它确实惊悚且有些血腥,但情节设计巧妙,让我能够克服这些。故事中的恐怖元素并非单纯为了吓人而存在,它们服务于整体剧情。

    主角之间的关系也非常契合。他们俩都极其聪明,斗智过程既刺激又引人入胜,特别是在解决谜团和恐怖事件时。虽然男主角行事强势,但女主角也相当果断,这为他们的互动增添了一丝趣味,而且知道他们是HE结局也给了我很大安慰。

    唯一的遗憾是,在番外篇中,作者提到主角们在平行世界中的命运,这让我感到非常心痛。我觉得这部分内容并不是必需的,但作者还是加了进去,真是让人忍不住流泪啊。(T^T)

    总的来说,这是一部绝对值得一看的佳作。我会给它满分5分,相信你阅读后一定不会失望。

    Although I don't particularly enjoy the storylines, I find the characters in this novel captivating, especially the male lead (ML) and the main character (MC). What draws me in is their romantic dynamics. The ending is outstandingly satisfying; it leaves me eager for more content, like a delightful cliffhanger. What I appreciate is that every character, including the main system, gets a well-deserved happy ending. I'm particularly interested in the alternate universe scenario where the MC didn't migrate, and I'd love to explore their story further. It's a fantastic narrative arc that leaves me wanting to delve deeper.

    I truly enjoy the connection between the main antagonist (ML) and the protagonist (MC). Both exhibit a sinister edge, and their dynamic creates an intense thrill. The fact that the ML is actively pursuing the demise of the MC in a genuine manner is... unexpected, yet intriguing. Although I'm not particularly fond of horror, reading about it is certainly less daunting for my emotions compared to watching it unfold. Gonna take a brief break, but I'll definitely come back to it later.

    This is the most captivating enemies-to-lovers story I've come across. I absolutely loved every aspect of it. Our protagonist, Zong Jiu, is a retired magician whose hands were injured in a car accident. He then finds himself in the body of a被迫参加无限循环惊悚训练游戏的 bookworm. This new setting presents him with an opportunity to heal his hands, experience excitement, and ultimately, fall in love.

    The novel is truly exceptional, fulfilling all the criteria for a compelling enemies-to-lovers tale. It features a genuine villain who falls for someone both similar and different, which I adore. The author's writing style is consistently impressive, with vivid descriptions that transport the reader (except for one scene involving a car in a parking lot - the metaphors were a bit overwhelming).

    I can't do justice to the story without recommending that you read it yourself, as the experience is unparalleled. It's essential to address a few misunderstandings mentioned by other readers, so reading the machine-translated version might require a second look for clarity.

    In summary, I thoroughly enjoyed every part of the narrative and am eager for a physical copy. My favorite moments include the coffin scene, the Por Una Cabeza Tango sequence, and their emotional embrace amidst a crumbling world. These scenes beautifully capture the character development and their evolving relationship.

    I'm definitely looking forward to revisiting this when more chapters are translated. It's a 5-star read for sure. Enjoy, and goodbye!

    I'm thrilled that this is finally being translated! "Thriller Trainee" is a captivating tale filled with dynamic characters. The enemies-to-lovers dynamic is incredibly authentic here, as the tension between the main character (MC) and the leading male (ML) reaches unprecedented heights. Despite the MC's less-than-perfect nature and the ML's genuine wickedness, their chemistry is electrifying. Every encounter between them is a deadly dance, punctuated by moments of playful banter and intense, clawed interactions.

    2. The conflict and suspense are well-executed.

    Cons:
    1. If you're an avid reader of similar genre and plot, you might find the twists and turns less surprising or thrilling, given the familiarity with the common tropes.

    I've always been a fan of the free-flowing genre of danmei stories, so initially, this one seemed like a perfect fit based on the glowing reviews from others. However, despite the promising start, I can't quite put my finger on what's missing for me. After reading 137 chapters, only the High School Arc truly evoked an emotional response.

    The protagonist is an intriguing character, displaying a detached demeanor that he skillfully conceals through his acting skills, essential for a magician. Although he shares similarities with the male lead in temperament and thought process, their divergent paths intrigue the ML. Despite enjoying the classic "Enemies-to-Lovers" trope, this particular couple dynamic doesn't resonate with me, and I find myself inexplicably drawn to the MC-Zhuge An ship, despite their less-than-perfect natures.

    The first four arcs, which have been fully translated, are well-done but lack depth, leaving little lasting impression. The High School Arc stands out as emotionally impactful, with its psychological drama and engaging plot即使没有华丽的道具也能吸引我。 That's why I'm giving it a 4-star rating.

    The Amusement Park arc didn't live up to my expectations, and I started losing interest. It's not the ML's fault; I've enjoyed danmei with worse protagonists before, like in "Welcome to Nightmare Live." However, there's a lack of chemistry that keeps me from investing in the main couple. I appreciate flawed characters with gray areas, but currently, I feel like MC has better connections with Zhuge An or even the Spoiler's original fiancé, Van Zhuo.

    Since my friend is finishing the novel, I'll wait for her thoughts, hoping that perhaps our shared preferences might change my perception of the couple's dynamics as more of the story unfolds.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this novel, and the main character (MC) was definitely my favorite. All the tags associated with him are accurate except for one - he's not antisocial; he starts off as extremely strong, cunning, and calculating, which makes him quite overpowered in a way that captivates readers. The male lead (ML) is also overpowered, but I won't delve into that.

    The passion between the MC and ML is intense and highly engaging. This story has similarities to "Damned Thirst for Survival," where the connection between the characters is similar, especially in their evolving relationship. However, in "Damned Thirst for Survival," the ML had a stronger affection for the MC, expressing his feelings openly, saying things like, "I like you, I love you."

    If you appreciated this novel, I'd recommend checking out "Damned Thirst for Survival," even though it doesn't have the same continuous plot as the first one, but it follows the common theme of a powerful OP MC and an equally formidable OP demon ML in a reincarnation storyline.
