Synopsis

[Doomsday Arrives + Livestream + National Fate + Supernatural Rules + Parallel World]

The supernatural descended upon Blue Star, and rules became humanity’s final point of contention with the unspeakable.

The unspeakable would randomly select “chosen ones” from every country and send them into a supernatural world. If they successfully solved its mystery, that round’s haunting would disappear from their country. If they failed the challenge within the allotted time, the haunting would descend upon their country.

Yin Zhu, an author who considered himself a talentless hack, was chosen to enter a rules-based supernatural scenario and represent the Dragon Nation.

And the first supernatural world seemed no different from everyday life... right?

[The Diary on the Table]

1. I have to be a good, obedient child.

2. My watch can tell me the exact time.

3. Remember to pour boiling water down the drain once a day.

4. It’s dangerous outside, but going out is the only way forward!

5. Green means danger, not safety!

6. I’m not a child! (Crossed out) I am a child.

[Family Rules]

1. Home is your peaceful harbor, and we are a loving family. Try not to get into conflicts with your family.

2. Mother cooks, Father cleans, and the child does the dishes.

3. Children must go outside with their parents. Otherwise, they’re responsible for the consequences.

4. You must be in bed asleep before eleven.

5. If someone you don’t recognize knocks on the door, don’t open it. It’s dangerous.

6. If you find green moss in the house, don’t go near it or touch it. Pretend you haven’t seen it.

7. When green moss appears in the house, stay as quiet as possible.

8. Trust your family. They love you. If you run into danger or trouble, you can ask them for help.

(The protagonist is female at the beginning.)

Why are there none at all! Why are female-oriented novels all about "it's satisfying to torment the wife for a while, and even more satisfying to torment her forever" these days? Are novels where the woman is strong and the man is submissive really that hard to find? Does the heroine have to be brutally mistreated and still stay in love and act like a lovesick puppy? Desperately looking for stories where the man is devoted and chases after the woman.

Why Does Nobody Write Female-Oriented National Destiny Stories?

Looking for books like "The Doomsday Contrast Group: The Big Shot Uses Every Elemental Power to Protect Huaxia". It was written well, but somehow it doesn't feel as powerful as a male-oriented novel.

Compared to other similar supernatural tales, this one is quite enjoyable. Most other supernatural tales focus on the "strangeness," using various terrifying images as a shell, but the core remains the same: a feel-good story. They often end up resembling a horror game, neglecting the "rules" of a supernatural tale.

The article has sound values, the live stream comments are realistic and not mindless shouting of "Wow!", Some controversial content is included, and it has independent insights into human nature. This book is very friendly to women and perfectly fine to men as well. There is no malicious intent to target gender issues.

This is absolutely amazing! Do you know how hard it is to find a novel like this with a female protagonist? Read it while you can and cherish it.

I like the female lead's calm and humorous personality, her imaginative ideas, and the fact that she's not in a romantic relationship. I recommend everyone to check it out. The author's writing style is quite good, the plot is excellent, and many parts surprised me. It's just that there aren't enough chapters. I hope the author updates soon! 😢

The characters created by female authors are all independent and equal individuals. Women are not portrayed as merely sexy ornaments or appendages, and there are no unpleasant descriptions of men. Words like "sweet" and "sexy" are used to describe women, and there are almost no superfluous physical descriptions in this novel. It lacks the stale, gritty feel often found in male authors' writing.

The dungeons are interesting, and the protagonist is quite insightful. One problem is that the author provides too much commentary and interpretation of the protagonist's actions and thoughts. Besides the expert team, the live stream chat and the author's various interjections and explanations further contribute to this.

Just finished the second dungeon. It's really good! Although the protagonist was quite confused when he first entered the dungeon and almost couldn't make it and quit 😂, he became increasingly adept in the later stages of the first dungeon. Of course, he wasn't the kind of arrogant guy who ignored the rules, but rather someone who grasped the underlying reasons for the rules.

Excellent! The writing flows smoothly, and each chapter's format is meticulously crafted! Unlike some novels where the paragraph breaks are haphazardly divided, making the reading experience jarring, this one is very comfortable to read and the flow of thought is easy to follow. The plot is also fantastic, with a clear main storyline. However, each chapter is written in almost the detail of a master's thesis, with some unnecessary parts. But this definitely showcases the author's unique style.

It's rare to find that both the main and supporting characters possess intelligence; it's not a one-sided victory where only the protagonist's side wins. The story is more logically structured. There's no constant belittling or sarcastic commentary; there's cooperation between different nations.

A very logically structured supernatural dungeon. The female protagonist has a dual personality, seemingly different in the dungeon and in real life, but this is handled very naturally. Since the people in the dungeon world are essentially dead people controlled by something unspeakable, the female protagonist is generally warm on the outside but cold and scornful on the inside.
