In-progress rating: 4.3/5 (144 chapters in) Story Setting: Infinite flow suspense. MC is a cold, indifferent, and smart person. ML is a mystery (but is about to be involved in story a lot more.) As of date, a lot of deus ex machina. I would consider this a novel which starts off shaky (where it seems like the author is trying to find their direction) and then progressively gets better.Arc 1, the novel is introduced explicitly as an infinite flow horror game. Arc 1 was definitely spooky, and I enjoyed it.Arc 2 and onwards, the story was definitely shifted to be more suspense + action.Arc 3 and onwards, I feel that the writing has gotten better. I liked Arc 3 and am enjoying Arc 4 a lot more than the first 2 Arcs. The main story line appears to just be starting at 144 chapters in in Arc 4.I quite enjoy the arcs that the author has come up with. They're pretty unique, and I can't tell what the outcome is until the very end of the arc. Towards the end of arcs, I'm kept sitting at the edge of my seat. I do recommend waiting for an arc to be finished before reading it all in one go.On the other hand, I am finding that there is no point in trying to figure out how the game is going to go or be won because MC's plans and logic are pretty far-fetched + risky + has always involved a deus ex machina so far. It's still very fun to read along for the ride, but you can basically turn your brain off.My in-progress conclusion is that this is a solid infinite flow series. It's not going to knock you off the rockers, but as a fan of this genre, this series generally has what I'm looking for.
