Synopsis

[The print edition, titled A Godless Night, is available to search for on all platforms. The comic adaptation is now online.]

[Plot-driven + infinite-flow + mild horror + countless twists]

Yan Huang had a terminal illness. He didn't want to die, so he became a player in Instance.

The System's evaluation of him read:

[Player Yan Huang practices what he preaches and has impeccable morals. Congratulations, you have awakened the talent: Deceiver.]

[Deceiver: Each lie you tell has a fifty percent chance of being believed. You are practically a model player in Instance.]

Unfortunately, his talent was so poor that everyone laughed at him.

“A newbie? And he drew the hardest beginner instance? He's as good as dead!”

“How are his stats even weaker than an elementary schooler's? He's doomed!”

“Here we go, he's triggered the death scene! Gentle Uncle Xie is coming to chop him up!”

But when Uncle Xie came over with a kitchen knife, he acted completely out of character, turning into a kind uncle who answered every question and kept revealing hidden clues to Yan Huang!

“You won't hurt me, so this knife is a gift for me, right?”

“That's right.”

[Player Yan Huang has obtained an item: Loving Father's Kitchen Knife.]

Onlookers: “What the hell? He got an item that easily? No way, absolutely no way!”

In the instances, countless bosses were moved to tears of gratitude toward Yan Huang.

A withdrawn boy: “I used to be shy and withdrawn. After listening to Teacher Yan's advice, I'm a social butterfly now.”

God said Yan Huang had violated the world's will and must be punished.

Yan Huang: Tonight will be a godless night.

And so, the gods fell.

It has depth, yet isn't esoteric; it's a pleasant pastime that prompts reflection on society, human nature, and the self. The only drawback might be its short length. Highly recommended.

TT Help! My first novel with no flaws and that I was completely engrossed in from beginning to end was actually read in a male-oriented genre! But I really love it, it's super good 🥰 I've decided to stay and browse male-oriented novels from now on.

The ultimate gentleness stems from the magnanimity gained through countless trials. A god who deceived himself found the answer to life in the cycle of reincarnation—the length of time determines the meaning of change. One person's power cannot stop the flow of a great river, but even the ripples before one's eyes will shimmer in the sunlight.

This is a rare and interesting book among Tomato's works, much better than the average book. The author's writing style seems quite good, but perhaps because it's a beginner's book or the author's first time writing, it feels a bit rushed. The plot didn't resonate with me very much, and the character development might not have struck a chord with me. However, it's enough for most readers.

I've had this book saved for ages, and I can't believe it's finished! I'm so sad to say goodbye. I accompanied Huang Ge through one chapter after another, experiencing both joy and tears. My favorite characters are Huang Ge and the sharp-tongued Luo Luo. The chapter that resonated with me the most was "Label Society"—it was so realistic. How do we judge a person's character?

This storyline is so hard not to love! Now I finally understand why so many people recommend this book when they're experiencing a reading slump. At first, the title made me think it wouldn't be anything special, but after reading it, I'm truly amazed. Every arc has moments that make you cry. Author, keep up the good work! I believe you'll only get better with each chapter! Just don't abandon this story!

So far, I can only give it five stars; four stars would be too much for the author. The plot is tight, concise, rigorous, and logical, and it even includes some satire of real society. Seriously, it's so well-written, it's just a little short 🥺. Keep up the good work, author! ｸﾞｯ!(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

It's really good!! This book really made me think about some social phenomena. Like the first scenario, it's essentially about a child striving for parental approval, only to lose dignity and dreams through repeated belittling and verbal abuse. Accepting incubation means accepting becoming a machine that only obeys and follows parental whims.

A divine book! Impeccable, both the plot and the character portrayals are superb! The only concern is whether the author's writing skills will falter later on and be unable to maintain this perfect start. As long as it doesn't fall apart, it will definitely become a masterpiece!
