probably my favorite horror unlimited flow novel! I've only read up to part of the fifth instance but all of them have been really intriguing and engaging thus far; my favorite being the fourth instance which is the amusement park. The psychological thriller was STRONG in that one, it genuinely made me horrified and repulsed Spoiler
contamination is a popular trope in many other horror unlimited flow series but this one really unsettled me, , , the feeling of otherness perpetuated by the npcs was so pervasive and wrong. Never looking at frogs the same again omg.
[collapse] I think that the horror aspect of this novel is why I enjoy it sm, it's really well done :) as for the MC, I really love wen jianyan. Although he has a really incredible ability to scam people and trick both players and npcs alike, it doesnt feel like he's breezing through the instance. He has to work for his survival, and I really like how the author depicts his struggles and advancements as he gets missions. In some of the other novels I read, I felt like the MC was conveniently given the answer or magically had all the right skills to finish this instance, but for wen jianyan I always felt that he genuinely had to work for it and use all of the skills+items he has at his disposal to the fullest. He's kind of a dumperfire in the sense that you think he's gonna implode but you keep watching anyways lol. The ways he decides to complete the instance can be incredibly out of the box and insane, but it always works out and I find myself super invested also note that the romance is really nonexistent at this point of the translation. If you're looking for something more romance heavy, I might put this one on the back burner and look for something else. Right now, I see the dynamic between the ML and MC as Spoilerpredator and prey. ML is an npc that acts as a god within the instances, and the ML has a couple very close run ins with him. As of chapter 151, id say they're like an omniscient deity and the fun new toy he's discovered and is trying to obtain.
