My Iyashikei Game Chapter 490 Discussion

Take my review with a grain of salt since I never really venture into the horror/thriller genres. I personally haven't really found this particularly scary which works for me since I didn't want to get scared. It was only until the supermarket (10 fingers) and plastic surgery arcs that I found the novel a tad bit scary. I think it's going to be getting scarier as it goes on, but so far it hasn't really made me feel that I won't be able to sleep or made me feel anxious or something because I know everything is going to work out for MC and friends. Plus since it's all textual my mind doesn't imagine super scary scenes. To me it has felt more like an interesting action/adventure with horror elements.

Actually, this novel is quite heartwarming and funny, and I like it for that, it is healing. Who would've thought a horror novel would inspire me. I am someone really sensitive to thrilling scenes, they make me really nervous. But the feeling that this novel gives me is mostly positive.

Tbh the only annoyance I've had with this novel is how in one of the chapters I read recently he behaved oddly, like your typical CN LN face slapping MC, it made me roll my eyes. Did the author really need to add such a cheap scene? Spoiler

Some actor wanted to make him drink (toast) and MC challenged him to a handshake contest and ended up cracking his bones and making him kneel. Like am I suddenly reading an urban cultivator novel? It pissed me off lol, that doesn't suit his image.

It also has some plot holes (example from c7 in spoiler) but whatever, it's still a fun read. Spoiler

Like when he told Li Xue (an officer) about Granny Meng, it never made sense to me how he even 1) made her look her up and even give him info about her findings 2) how did he even assume that she was real (he met Granny Meng in a video game) 3) it's just really weird

I MTLed some chapters because I'm broke and although it's understandable it hit me that it wasn't worth it since the novel isn't even finished. I'd recommend to just read along with the translator and if you really liked it their patreon is up to date with the raws and has probably +200 chapters. I've liked it enough though, I will be keeping up with this.
