Another World: Monsters Everywhere, but All I Want Is to Read

[Fantasy, otherworld, primeval chaos, behind-the-scenes scheming, academy, vampires, werewolves, witches, empress, no System, growing protagonist, clever characters, bloodline-focused]

The pacing isn’t especially slow, so please be patient and keep reading. Thank you.

When humanity is on the decline and monsters run rampant, how can people fight back?

When the Outer Gods invade, what kind of Chinese might will be revealed when humanity’s saints join forces with the awakened monsters of the Classic of Mountains and Seas?

This is a world where time and space have fallen into chaos.

The people on the street are zombies, your teacher is a vampire, your classmates are a horde of the undead, and your nemesis is a werewolf.

My mother is a witch from the last century who raised me on bat and toad soup.

My father was the world’s first Human Emperor, yet his subordinates are a band of utterly bizarre superpowered beings.

My relatives are even more strange and varied.

And I, living in this world, am merely a scholar carrying a schoolbag and dreaming of getting into a top university one day.

Until one day, an old man riding a green ox knocked my teacher’s head off with a blow from his staff.

“I’m your second granduncle. Come with me. Your mother’s going to stew you with the vampires.”

At the same time, a message came from my mother.

“Run! Your father is going to turn you into an elixir of immortality.”
