Welcome to the Nightmare Live Chapter 540 Discussion

I've finished up to yuying University arc in chapter 540 in the raws. What I can say is that the story is very fleshed out. There's a lot of details in each arc and a lotttt of world building! Considering each arc come close to around 100 chapters each. I really encourage you to read this novel and I fully recommend checking out the raws at the official website. I came to read this while waiting for 'turning' to update and I think this Novel imo is just as good

one point to note tho, as someone who frequently reads horror BL, this is the FIRST one that actually got me scared. Like legitimately SCARED. The author's ability to describe the horrors really got me scared to the bones. I thoroughly understand why MC is so scared all the time because I am literally feeling the same way as him. Which is great because I don't feel that MC being cowardly feels out of place in the novel at ALL. In fact when I watch the MC being so brave I feel like patting him on the back because I know I don't got the guts to do the same as him ahaha

Plot of the instances:

Spoiler

The instances are all linked to a much more bigger conspiracy that is the nightmare. The places mentioned in all the instances are all related.

I read a review about someone saying MC is too OP. But I disagree,

Spoiler

In fact the MC is ridiculously unlucky. He encounters a lottt of death flags and even came close to death once. He solves problems using wit and is known among anchors to be infamously cowardly since he always chooses to run rather than fight. He isn't equipped with a talent that is suited for combat and in that sense is much physically weaker than a lot of anchors. I don't think he is OP at all. Its because he is weaker that he must rely on wits to survive. But do not be confused, mc's talent is in fact one of the most powerful among the anchors. But because its too powerful it has high activation condition

the MC is a little cowardly but he is very brave. Which makes him really entertaining imo. One moment he is acting cunning and threatening people, the next moment he's hiding behind the wall vomitting from stress. I think this side of him is so cute! He is also very selfless but unwilling to show people this side of him so he lies and hides from his friends when he is hurt. When I read this novel I feel so much pity for him. He reminds me of wei wuxian a lot.

Who is the ML:

Spoiler

Not much information is known about what exactly is Wu Zhu but so far we know that he is the 'God Father'. A God that is imprisoned by the nightmare and in the sense kinda powers the whole instance. Nightmare is very afraid of him and has called Wu Zhu a 'BUG' that needs to be removed. He was once set free by an anchor (will not say who) and triggered a huge BUG in the nightmare and many instances were then forced to close to contain ML.

When MC first met ML, he was very aggressive at first and wanted to eat MC. But overtime he realises that he doesn't want to kill MC anymore and even finds him endearing. ML doesn't realise he likes MC but is very vocal in wanting to progress in their physical relationship. Btw they officially did 'it' ard chapter 540++. He is very possessive and you can see how he cares about MC and even worries about him when MC was injured. Imo he's very cute and sweet >< but you need to read to the later chapters first to see this side of him.

The other reviewers have talked about the upcoming arcs so I will simply write what I think is the direction of the plot in upcoming arcs. This is purely my opinion.

Spoiler

With the yuying University (as of v540) we are starting to see that nightmare's true colours. With MC close brush with death and *something that happened during this arc* MC has started to isolated himself further. Because of this I think ML's contributions to the story will improve from here on. He will start becoming mc's anchor and maybe MC will start to rely more on ML. This might mean that the relationship is going to progress! So I'm really happy but at the same time I think MC needs a hug.
