Synopsis

[National Fate + Roleplay + Livestream + Rule Horror + No Female Lead + Genshin Impact]

Rule Horror descends, and the National Fate game begins.

One chosen person is randomly selected from each country to enter the world of horrors.

Success brings generous rewards.

Shi Yan awakens a roleplaying System. As long as he plays a character and raises his similarity to them, he'll gain the corresponding powers.

When people in Xia Country discover that the chosen one is a cosplayer, they are prejudiced and confused, and some even curse him out.

Then things take an unexpected turn. Shi Yan's actions leave everyone speechless.

“First, I'm not him.”

“Second, I'm not him.”

“Finally, I'm not him.”

“I'm Shi Yan,

heir to the Shi Group,

my parents' son.

I won't lose myself or my identity just to become more like him!”

“What I will do is carry out his deeds in my own name!”

I wrote this on a whim.

Rather than say it's about becoming Diluc, it's more about the protagonist.

He holds fast to Diluc's beliefs,

does the things Diluc does,

experiences what Diluc has experienced,

feels what Diluc has felt,

and takes in the scenery Diluc has seen along the way.

Step by step, one day he'll reach the same heights as Diluc and admire the view from the summit with him.

Rather than become you outright and have your strength, I'd rather look at that lonely view from the heights together with you.

You are you, and I am me. In my own name, I'll stand by your side.

Diluc, you light up the darkness!

And you light up... my darkness too...

(I'll write however I want. If you want to read it, read it. If not, get lost. Don't test my manners. I have none.)

This is a rare gem among Mr. Lu's books; the plot is incredibly captivating. It's also the first time I've seen an author so frustrated, even tipping himself! 🤦 Keep updating! If all else fails, I'll support you with my love for the work! 😏

I'm satisfied. There are still some minor "flaws" in the details, but it's already very good. This is my favorite role-playing book. Unlike other role-playing books, it doesn't just blindly imitate and become that person, which is fantastic. I hope that when the role-playing is 100% perfect, the protagonist will still remember who he is. 😎

Great news! I love it! So, ma'am, is Qi Xiaochuan also a member of the main characters? (And judging from what was said earlier, we can sense the existence of the system, but the Eye of God and Diluc are real... Oh no, could it be that Teyvat has already fallen, and the Guardians of Justice and the Seven Gods have joined forces to create a template and extracted parts of everyone to put into the system? So, the mystery isn't the Abyss, or a product fused with the Abyss, is it?)

The following is my personal review: I felt the response from the Chinese side was somewhat exaggerated, making it difficult to see the demeanor of a great power. The characters were well-developed, nothing to say. I'm not a big fan of this book, and I wouldn't be giving it this review otherwise.

The author's writing style is excellent. If you're looking for a ghost story, this is a must-read. The protagonist, Shi Yan, plays the role of Grandpa Lu, but he doesn't abandon his own identity. Each storyline is very interesting, without any unnecessary interludes or digressions; the main plot is presented in a straightforward manner. Overall, it's a very good book and worth reading.
