Master of the Haunted Realm

What other books has this author written?

Is this book abridged?

I've read it three times already. It's really upsetting that Hedgehog Cat deleted all the previous posts. I hope the author's Whispering Poems get better and better, and that updates come faster.

The initial part is quite enjoyable, with all the benefits going to the protagonist. However, after watching for a while, the plot becomes a bit annoying. The protagonist is always playing high-level matches but isn't strong enough himself, stubbornly charging into danger. So, while this mode is fun at the beginning, once the initial excitement wears off, you start to feel that the protagonist doesn't know how to ask for help (laughing and crying). Every time a major power like the church arrives, it's always after the fact. You can ask them to fight some minor monsters or find one or two partners to cooperate with. Playing alone always feels a bit lacking. The protagonist knows things that the church doesn't, and the church knows things that the protagonist doesn't. They keep guessing from each other, and the disasters are always one level higher than what the church has prepared. Sometimes, it's nice to just relax and reap the rewards.

It's great! I finished reading *The Strange Realm* while waiting for *Whispers*. Although it has a few minor flaws compared to *Whispers*, it's still a top-notch work. I personally really like the author's immersive and vivid writing style, which might be related to the Western fantasy setting. Compared to Xianxia and Xuanhuan (Chinese fantasy), it gives a stronger sense of epic destiny. I feel like the author's next book would be quite good, perhaps a *Amber* style. With the author's talent for constructing vast worlds, writing traditional Xuanhuan feels a bit like a waste. I look forward to Xianyu continuing to bring us such wonderful and excellent works. (So, will there be an Ovia Sage arc? #(Crying))

The main character's development in the early episodes is a bit problematic, but everything else is good. If you like the Victorian + steampunk + Cthulhu style of mystery novels, you can read it without worry. It's a harem anime, and overall a good one.

This Western fantasy harem is unparalleled. The witch's emotions are ambiguous, and the plot seems to have been added on the spot. I think the only flaw is Sigrid and the princess with three clones. I feel that removing them or writing them as supporting characters like Audrey and the Silver Dragon wouldn't have affected the story. Their plot weight and length are insufficient to support the role of the female lead.
