Horror Novels! They Have to Be Really Scary!!! No Supernatural or Occult Stuff
I don’t want horror that’s purely about ghosts and monsters. I want horror caused by people, like the terrifying scenes in Stealing Faces and Ashtray, which are all human-made.
Infinite Flow, Infinite Flow, Infinite Flow! No Saintly Protagonists 😿

I Want Pure, High-Pressure Infinite-Flow Novels!!
I'm in a reading slump 😭! I desperately need an infinite-flow novel that pulls you in and leaves you utterly despairing! Ideally, pure pressure with no heartwarming moments! Gore doesn't count as horror (that kind just makes me uncomfortable). I want the pressure dialed up to breaking point, with high-stakes, high-IQ challenges every moment. That's what makes it exciting!! Please 🙏!

I found this book truly refreshing. It has a feel similar to Blackfire and Scarlet Letter, testing intelligence and keen observation, as well as boldness and meticulousness. The powerful demons and the cursed items with side effects, given to characters to survive and prolong the plot, evoke a sense of hellish cinema. However, both at least adhere to established settings and props.
I've watched "Strange Tales Radio" three times; it's incredibly well-written. I just started reading here and saw comments saying there's a female lead? Is there anyone kind enough to warn me about this? If so, I won't watch it 🥺🥺 I'm most afraid of female leads. Is the Flower Goddess really the female lead? I'm already about to give up.
I love this book so much! It's just as good as Nightmare Strike, but without the annoying character Fatty.
It's truly amazing, though the beginning and the bus scene are a bit of a letdown. The rest is incredibly good. Unlike other novels that obscure clues and evidence, this one presents them directly, allowing the reader to find the answers within the text. It's undeniably captivating; it's as if the protagonist and the reader obtain the information and clues at the same time. It's really good!
A very high-quality supernatural novel. The protagonist's personality is very pleasant to read—not insane, not a saint, and not heartless. The writing style is excellent, both in its descriptions of the environment and details. The plot avoids any overly awkward or forced sentimentality. The third story, "The Horror Text Game," is truly original and quite novel compared to other novels I've read.
Well written. It's been rare to see this kind of pure horror-themed infinite flow novel in recent years; it reminds me of the old "Cinema in Hell." However, I feel the protagonist's deductive reasoning isn't quite strong enough. Lacking self-defense mechanisms, he needs to compensate with his intelligence, and the author was a bit conservative in this aspect, making the summary of experience feel…
I judged the author by his background on the "Strange News Radio" channel; he writes very well and is reliable.
Great! This is the first book review I've been looking for. It's an escape-themed infinite flow novel with a really good horror atmosphere. People say it's similar to Nightmare Strike, and I enjoyed it. 😄😄
Highly recommended. Seeing "Worry-Free Apartment" made me want to come back and recommend it. I consider myself to have a high threshold for fright, and I mostly read horror and mind-bending stories. This one gave me the feeling of reading "Hell Apartment" and "Nightmare Strike," a kind of scary joke that really got me chills. Most importantly, it requires a sharp mind.
This is the true infinite flow genre; every mission is a life-or-death struggle. There are no flashy abilities or cheat codes; it's traditional, enjoyable, and well-written. The rating is lower because it might not be "exhilarating" enough. For those who don't like mindless wish-fulfillment stories, it's a gem. I hope the author doesn't ruin the ending; keep up the good work!
