Synopsis

[Coming of Age + Infinite Realms + Powerful Leads + Supernatural]

(There is a male lead, but they don't fall in love at first sight, and this is not a sugary romance!!! Early on, the leads scheme against each other. Their relationship develops gradually.)

The Special Operations Bureau, or SOB, is tasked with capturing entities that ordinary security officers can't handle. Vengeful ghosts brimming with yin energy, eerily sinister demons, and radiation-mutated beasts all fall under the bureau's jurisdiction.

As a rookie just starting out, Qin Lian isn't like her colleagues, who each have their own special abilities. All she can do is see ghosts and monsters, a useless ability with no offensive power.

But Qin Lian has a secret no one knows: she was raised by three thousand-year-old Ghost Kings. On her second day at work, she gets caught up in a deadly horror game called “Puzzle.”

While everyone else trembles in fear and struggles to survive in the horror game,

Qin Lian finds it as warm and comforting as coming home.

Besides, her “family” is fiercely protective of her.

Before long, she becomes the terrifying number-one player everyone talks about.

The day the Puzzle game fully merges with reality, the SOB staff are discussing how to eliminate the most evil players on the game's leaderboard.

“I hear the number-one player is unfathomably powerful and utterly wicked. We'll need to use the Federation's secret weapon to take her out, right?”

“I'll write up the application right away.”

“I'll put together a plan for the raid.”

The rookie Qin Lian, who is supposed to be helping out but has been goofing off in the meeting, quietly raises her hand.

She says timidly, “I don't think she's like the rumors say.”

The bureau chief pats her on the shoulder. “You're still too young to understand.”

Qin Lian: ...

I don't think this book deserves a 7.5 Rating; it should be at least 9 or higher! I've read hundreds, if not thousands, of infinite flow novels, and this is the only one I haven't skipped a single chapter of. The female lead is incredibly strong, but she's not brainless or without weaknesses. She's fleshed out, loyal, and devoted to her family.

It's a great read! The theme is very novel, leaning towards the infinite flow genre. The female lead has incredibly strong personal abilities but isn't fighting alone; she has loving family members (even though they're vengeful ghosts). I was quite surprised when I first learned her family were vengeful spirits.

Super, invincible, gigantic Thunder is amazing!! Don't be put off by the low rating, I don't know why it's so low, but it's the best infinite flow novel I've seen in years. The story is very interesting. Each member of the main cast has a distinct personality, with their own strengths and weaknesses. No one is perfect, but they all have pure hearts.

The female lead's power-ups aren't mindless! On the contrary, she's incredibly intelligent!! Her combat skills are also formidable!! Her backstory is very compelling, though not fully revealed yet, it's truly captivating!!! The male lead isn't weak or mindless either; he's extremely intelligent in the real world, a top-tier researcher!!

I stumbled upon this book by chance and didn't have high hopes, but I was pleasantly surprised. The plot is complete, with foreshadowing, strong logic, and an engaging storyline. Each character is relatively well-developed. Although the writing is somewhat immature, the core theme holds up, reflecting aspects of human nature. The setting in a futuristic technological era is quite interesting.

It's completely unexpected that this book only scored in the 7s; it could easily have reached a 9. I won't go into the romance; the chemistry between the couple wasn't very strong for me. What I find impressive is the parallel development of both the in-game and out-of-game storylines, and the likelihood that both will converge in the end.

The logic is sound, and the portrayal of family relationships is also very well done. The female lead has a positive worldview, a complete growth path, and a righteous personality, making her likable. The male protagonist is a vivid, well-rounded, and highly distinctive character; he is an intelligent player. In my personal opinion, the female lead is so cool, I love her so much ٩(♡㉨♡ )۶

I was a little hesitant at first because of the rating, but after seeing comments from teachers saying it was great and the premise was really interesting, I decided to give it a try. I initially came for the face-slapping/alternate identity arc, but as I read on, I found it to be genuinely interesting.

It's a very good read, with a fantastic plot. The only downside is that the first tutorial dungeon in the game storyline was a bit weak; it felt like the protagonist was just overpowered and easily defeated. Also, I'm not a big fan of supernatural/infinite flow novels, so I almost missed out on a great book.

This is a book well worth reading. The only potential pitfall is that the male protagonist isn't the typical type. He's more of a smart guy, though perhaps a bit weak in physical combat, but he's definitely an indispensable part of the team's progress. First and foremost, the female lead is undoubtedly the protagonist of this book. She is kind, brave, responsible, and decisive.
