[Horror + wish fulfillment + invincible protagonist + no saintly do-gooder + decisive and ruthless + counter-invasion of the horror world + contained entities + sources of corruption]
Lin Xiu, who has been cultivating for two and a half years, is chosen by the Merit-to-Sainthood System and transmigrates to a world teeming with merit-hungry monsters.
He is ready to hunt down every ghost and monster here that has taken human lives, using the merit he earns to become an immortal and a saint.
But then he happens to see the chosen contestants from various countries helplessly wailing inside the Rules Horror.
Just as he is about to draw his sword and end the horror world, he discovers that...
Horror incidents are running rampant in the real world.
All kinds of sources of corruption are spreading everywhere, distorting human will.
Uncontained entities are taking the opportunity to wreak havoc.
At some point, impostors have begun invading and replacing humans.
He can't help taking a deep breath. It's time for him to put an end to all this!
So far, it's quite good. Let me see if there's a female lead later on; I'll test the waters first. Although I've found a story that doesn't involve a person traveling to another world, becoming a powerful cultivator, and then returning to their original world—a classic tale with a set of rules.
The plot is very good, the protagonist has a positive outlook and is not exaggerated, but there are satisfying moments. The protagonist's leveling up is also quite reasonable. There are no messy complaints. The portrayal of female characters is also normal and diverse, unlike the one-dimensional and staring descriptions I've read before. I really like it.
The author realized he couldn't continue writing halfway through, so he simply had the protagonist summon the Three Pure Ones to destroy the strange entity, and the book ended. 🤭
Good heavens, I'm laughing so hard! It ended in a flash. I thought there would be a sequel. My thoughts after reading: It felt like reading a story collection.
