Synopsis

[No romance + infinite flow + paranormal horror + not a power fantasy + character growth + forced to become an all-round doctor]

[Evernight Town] The dead disguise themselves as living people, a doctor who knows nothing, and a fishman who appears out of nowhere all vie for control of the town.

[Spring Blossom Middle School] Thirteen eerie urban legends, a troublemaker who gets toyed with, and a doctor who never gets a moment's rest.

[The Never-Ending Train] The nine carriages are all different. Are they supplies? Living people? Or con artists?

Yu Feng: Thanks, but I'm just a doctor thrown into the deep end. I can treat external injuries and fight, but I'm not an obstetrician!!!

A few warnings, see below:

1. The earlier chapters have lots of typos that I haven't had time to fix. I'm lazy.

2. I'm not a professional doctor. The disease-related material comes from Baidu or is heavily fictionalized.

3. The protagonist grows over time and isn't strong.

4. There are few fight scenes. This isn't a power fantasy.

5. The protagonist is doted on for practical reasons. The NPCs are all nice to him for a reason.

6. The protagonist is selfish and self-serving, and habitually collects materials, which he also uses up in large quantities.

7. No love interest. The crow comes first in the male lead's heart; everyone else is just a tool.

8. The crow never turns into a person!

9. The earlier chapters may be a bit hard to stomach. Feel free to steer clear if you can't handle them.

It's great, very good! I didn't want to watch the second world; it was a bit too short. The only downside is that the protagonist seems a bit too focused on romance. In the first world, his relationship with Mark felt somewhat ambiguous. I hope he becomes more detached and indifferent later on; that would better fit my image of a plague doctor.

This is beautiful. Let me first talk about the three things that I care about most and like the most: ① No ambiguity, no romantic pairing, no harem, no BL, no burdens, no clingy characters, no unrequited love, a lone wolf male lead—I absolutely love this kind!!

Although it's a story about eerie dungeons, it has many innovative elements. I really love the Watchers faction; the interactions between the protagonist and the NPCs are so heartwarming. It doesn't have the same exciting or thrilling feel as other stories in the same genre; in fact, it's a bit bland. But it's precisely these qualities that make it feel so real.

This novel is grammatically rigorous, uses elegant diction, and has a clever structure, demonstrating the author's solid writing skills, effortless writing techniques, and unparalleled creativity, which is truly admirable. Furthermore, I felt a profound and moving emotion within it; its language is concise yet powerful, each word worth its weight in gold, every word gripping the heart and bringing tears to the eyes. ˓˓(ृ ु ॑꒳')ु(ृ'꒳ ॑ ृ )ु˒˒˒

This is a really good subject matter, and the writing is also good. It's a pity that not many people read it. Also, I feel that sometimes the titles could be changed slightly. For example, "Clay Figure Art Studio" could be changed to "Clay Figures with Human Faces in the Art Studio," adding a touch of horror.

Highly recommended. The logic is smooth, the characters are well-developed, the writing is good, the protagonist's character is consistent, and there aren't any messy romantic subplots. In fact, the more you read, the more philosophical it seems. The theme of a group of people being favored based on self-interest is quite realistic, but the writing is good and there aren't any major flaws.

Great, I'm tired of saying the characters are well-defined and distinctive. I just hope the author can maintain balance. It's hard to maintain balance in a 1vN chase game like this; it's either a dog-walking game or a massacre. The plot is still good, but the transitions between each stage are a bit abrupt. When I was reading, I didn't even know how Yu Feng got to Yu City. *Shrug*

New book, fresh out of the oven! It's a niche genre—the infinite loop—with a huge cheat code, a typical wish-fulfillment story, but written quite freshly. Judging from the title, will other characters appear? [Looking forward to it (๑˙ー˙๑)] However (personal opinion, for reference only), I felt it was a little... Well, boring?

No romantic pairing, the story of the dungeons is very interesting, the character designs are generally fine, and the settings for each faction are fun... Please, please, this kind of beloved character is really interesting~ The only painful thing is that the author updates so infrequently (ಥಥ)

Great! A novel just my type! I haven't read one in a long time, keep it up! I just finished the first world. In terms of melee combat, will the protagonist's weapon be a cane? Or a scalpel? If it's summoning, will it be hellish creatures later on? It seems so. It feels like the protagonist will mainly rely on mental abilities (definitely not the kind that fights directly).
