Looking for Horror Novels Like The Haunted House
Looking for books like "The Strange House". The author of "The Strange House" is so unreliable and updates way too slowly. Everyone, please help me out.

Looking for Genuine Chinese-Style Horror, Nothing Too Clichéd
Chinese-Style Horror Novels Like Three Corpse Tales
I’m looking for fantasy novels with a mystical feel, usually involving sorcerers, Taoist magic, and the like. They should feel both distant from and close to everyday life: strange things that happen in our world are actually caused by things we can’t see.

A truly scary horror novel.

Bring out all your good stuff: rebirth, System, being doted on by everyone, Naruto, One Piece, the entertainment industry, supernatural revival, role-playing, behind-the-scenes masterminds, Detective Conan, horror, and suspense.
Recommend Anything You Like, Comics Included
I'm open to any genre. Recommend anything well written, but it has to be completed. If it's still updating, it should have at least 200 chapters. Comics are fine too, as long as the art is good and the story is decent overall. I'm looking for a bit of everything.

It consists of a series of independent short stories, which are quite scary and immersive. The close-up scenes feel very realistic. I would suggest not watching it alone, as it can be quite frightening. Overall, the story content is good, and the reading experience is comfortable. Thumbs up!
I really enjoy reading short stories now, especially those with one story per chapter; they suit me perfectly. It's not scary at all, unlike other horror novels. Each chapter has a protagonist, there's no monster-fighting or leveling up, and no villains causing trouble. The protagonist's description isn't like other novels where they have a special fate and are constantly plagued by strange occurrences from childhood. The author is excellent and wonderful.
I really enjoyed the short stories, even though I found them quite scary. They felt very relatable to me, and some of the stories reminded me of things my friends have told me, since they've shared similar experiences with people they know. So they felt very real and that's what made me scared. I finished reading them quickly, haha, I'm such a noob but I loved them! However, some of the stories are quite touching, including those two love stories, and others.
Similar to folk horror novels, like stories told by grandparents, the plot is intricately woven, but the ending feels a bit abrupt, leaving the reader wanting more. Please remain humble and avoid complacency! Continue to maintain and develop the good aspects, and correct the shortcomings! Looking forward to your new works!!
It looks great, I love this style!
It's a good read; each chapter is unique. I think it's sometimes necessary to believe in these kinds of things, but you can't completely dismiss them.
You can learn something from listening to a story. It teaches us to do good deeds and accumulate virtue, for good people are rewarded. Sometimes, we shouldn't meddle in other people's business, lest we get into trouble. Wishing everyone and their families good health!
Thank you so much, author, for giving me such a satisfying book. The storyline is excellent! 👍
They are all short stories, very interesting, I enjoy reading them.
When I was a child, there were many such stories in the countryside; they were very down-to-earth and felt so real.
