[Rules-based horror + Spirited Away fan fiction + hidden spirit world + death resets + multiple personalities + deeply dark tone + not a mindless power fantasy]
I accidentally stumbled into the eerie urban-legend world of Spirited Away.
I was shocked to witness it.
The so-called “gods” here bathe in human blood and feast on human flesh!
The “Oil Bathhouse,” where the “gods of every kind” supposedly relax in the hot springs, is in truth a blood-soaked “hellish lair of slaughter”!
As I continue to explore,
I pass through one eerie urban-legend world after another: My Neighbor Totoro, Princess Mononoke, Howl's Moving Castle, Ponyo, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Castle in the Sky, The Boy and the Heron...
I strive to uncover the truth of the “hidden spirit world” and find “the way home.”
However,
one day,
I receive a mission to “return to the real world.”
Only then do I discover
that
the real “eerie urban legend” is only just beginning...
Really good article, not brainless. When I saw the Qianxun part, I still wanted to read it (a little bit later). The author must remember to fill in the pitfalls.
No, buddy, have you fallen into the weird rules talk?
Can I come back to fill in the gaps? I got the results in 26 years and stopped updating in 24 years. 😭
