My name is Chen Shu, a hack novelist hated by both people and dogs. To escape reality, I split myself apart and became a mentally ill NPC in one of the Infinite Flow instances I had written.
Every instance here, from the psychiatric hospital to the haunted school to the apartment complex of the dead, is one of my unfinished, abandoned novels. Every boss is a wronged protagonist I put through hell and back.
When the red-named monsters surrounded me, I looked at their familiar faces as black ink slowly seeped from my fingertips. “What the hell are you barking about...? I may have forgotten the plot, but I still remember how to change the settings.” “You want an ending? Fine.”
“Everyone comes back to life in the next chapter. And me? I’m checking out of the hospital.”
This book builds a terrifying world that is logically self-consistent but paradoxical at every turn. It uses the calmest words (rules) to bring the strongest immersive thrill - you must personally play the role of "puzzle solver" and survive in the gaps of the rules. The real fear lies not in monsters, but in the subversion of cognition: when common sense becomes a trap, reason becomes the only weapon and bait. It is not only an intellectual adventure, but also more accurately reflects the "unspeakable" order and anxiety in modern existence. Recommended to all readers who enjoy walking on the cliff edge of the mind.
Why doesn't anyone comment? I think it's pretty good.
