Reborn as a Prophet in a Horror Movie Chapter 114 Discussion

A novel that will constantly keep you hooked, stands out from the rest of the Horror BL genre.

Currently the novel is cut into 2 clear part:

Part 1: The parts that directly follows the synopsis you've read above, it ends around chapter Spoiler

56.

It is fairly standalone with few unresolved threads, one of which is

Spoiler

the romance between Johan (ML) and Seojun (MC).

It's exactly what the synopsis promised and even more, the characters are well built, they strive to achieve their goals and confront themselves, their own fears, etc to stand as strong as they possibly can in the situation they're put in. The author is not afraid to portray the loss of characters in the middle of their horrific circumstances as well as the violence they're exposed to and the remnant it leaves on the cast, both mentally and physically.

Part 2: The episodic part of the novel, with a fairly standard formula you'll quickly grasp when reading. The horror genre however does not weaken even if the narration of one mini-arc is short (felt like about 10 chapter-ish per mini-arc while reading).

Formula goes as follow for those interested:

Spoiler

Seojun encounters a horrifying event-> it stimulate his trauma from what he previously experienced->He somehow manages to escape/resolve the situation by the skin of his teeth->goes on with his road trip

Johan chases after Seojun->Encounters the follow up of Seojun's previous horror accident-> becomes the horror to the horrors->goes on with trying to catch up with Seojun.

However the formula the author uses doesn't water down the experience as it allow them to offers a brand new perspective, direct continuation/development of previous situations. The novel is prevented from growing stale by the unique narrative of each mini-arc which is well thought out and nicely portraying the psychology of the characters.

I can only give many thanks to the translator LadyhotcombTL for picking up this novel and novel like Rise of the Othergod Apostle which to me are breath of fresh air and a joy to see updated when I check.
