Playing a Dating Sim in a Horror Game

This book is missing so many chapters, yet the extra chapters are still being updated—that's rare!

I've read up to chapter 290. The earlier chapters were quite enjoyable, and the side quests were well-written. But towards the end, it felt like an episodic drama, with each dungeon filled with locked skills and equipment. So what's the point of writing about skills then? The scene where the main character directly reattaches a severed hand left me completely bewildered. The Qing Teng dungeon was the same; everyone was level 60, ranked in various ways. Initially, I was excited about the hidden quest, but Qing Teng felt like a dungeon for newbies. Most importantly, that childhood sweetheart, they kissed on the cheek the moment they met, but then the protagonist thought her blind date was a good person. And look at the beginning, the protagonist isn't completely clueless! Maybe he didn't want his childhood sweetheart, but then they started flirting again. Dude, are you kidding me?
