I skimmed past this novel after the early 100s because it quickly reached the same point it got into My House of Horrors from the same author. That is to say, a transition from horror to action with horror elements.This actually had the potential to be better than My House of Horrors despite not managing to reach to its heels in the horror department, simply because the author used the "MC abnormal from the start" card much earlier, at around chapter 70 or so. As a horror story I would give it 2-3 stars, but it could be a 5 on action if author didn't force MC to go to the other world every night. That made MC quickly accustomed to the other world, whereas in MHoH it burnt much slower. The police interactions are also noticeably more interesting when compared to the other novel.Another bad element is the fact it is placed in a VR game, but the system itself is quite pointless. That's likely to circumvent the problems with supernatural novels in China, nevertheless it leaves a bad taste.The stories are very interesting, it's well written and the characters are likeable, but it doesn't really change anything from the previous novel. The only reason I still rate it 4 stars is because it is more honest on what it sets to become, whereas in MHoH it is just disappointing that it turned out like that.
