The Record of Unusual Creatures

RUC tells the story of Hao Ren, an everyday good guy living in China. One day, he decides to rent out the rooms in his apartment for some extra income. When his ad gets answered, he finds that his tenants are more than what they appear to be.
     The translation quality is satisfactory and the use of English is fairly good. However, this I believe will continue to be improved on for a better reading experience. Chapters are also released regularly every week. The current rate is at 11 chapters and this may increase in the future.
     RUC's plot develops at a steady pace; not too fast and not too slow. New characters are introduced during key points of the story so it's easy to follow. The premise is similar to many fantasy/adventure anime's where the protagonist happens along new comrades as he gets himself involved in various scenarios. Think One Piece but instead of pirates, you have your classic monsters, creatures and cryptids of all sorts. Sometimes, when reading a Chinese novel, you may find an issue where the author tends to repeat certain details again and again throughout the story. This rarely happens in this narrative.
    As for its characters, they are pretty common when it comes to the fantasy genre. There's the standard vampire, werewolf, demons and etc. However what sets them apart are their weird quirks and personalities. This adds to the humour in the story. It'll be interesting to see how the ensemble of characters continue to grow and what unusual creature will be added next.
     No fantasy novel is incomplete without its own world or world's in this case. The characters' adventures take them to various places on Earth and also out of Earth. Here we can see them travel into what looks like outer space. This gives it a Star-Trek like vibe so you have a mash of fantasy and sci-fi at some points of the story. It's an odd combination. On one hand you're dealing with creatures from the Victorian Era or even older and on the other, you're dealing with beings of supposedly higher order, which seem very similar to aliens. Readers will either like how different it is or find it absurd. One will have to read the novel to truly decide.

A little spoiler exists.
Chinese here.
In my opinion, this is one of the best novels ever. I saw some reviews complaining about that the novel is so boring and decided to give up. Well I have read more than 1700 chapters and I agree that so far it is literally boring, no doubt. But don't give up and stick to it please because actually the exciting part has not come and later the first excitement will come in chapter 230+. It's a story about a civilization which is suffering from the lack of energy and matter. That's not because of they wasted too much of them but due to their bad luck. Their planet is the only planet on their solar system and their solar system is the only one around hundreds of light years. You'll be shocked by how the civilizations tried to struggle, survive the frustration and how they finally got saved or elimated. This will also make you think about ourselves, the human race. Y'zaks in the novel once said, "I just can't understand you human. You have a perfectly beautiful solar system and rich matter and energy around you. You'll have much more opportunities than the unlucky ones. But you humankind don't unite together and even war for all kinds of boring reasons. That's not good. Why don't you keep peaceful and study the space and universe?  You'd be one of the strongest civilizations in this universe. "
We should think about this.
