*Completed work. Read this debut novel with caution. For special reasons, I directly included the plot outline and setting details in the story. This doesn't affect the overall reading experience, and the worldbuilding has since been properly developed. The full text has no i, but it was written when I was a total beginner, so the prose is indeed stiff and a bit like...
[Infinite Flow + Slow Burn + Supernatural Powers + Not a Saint + No CP + Lighthearted + All Sugar, No Angst (Just Kidding) + Twists]
The protagonist isn't a conventional hero.
*If you still aren't interested after the first three instances, I'm sorry, that's on me. The beginner instance serves as an introduction.
“Chen Chen” was dragged into the Trial Game.
The “me” in my memories doesn't seem to be me. Or is it real?
Is this a game, or a celebration for those in power?
(The different instances are connected in various ways.)
“Everyone should be of use to me, including the self I've already lost.” So said the “Faceless Puppeteer.”
Sometimes calm, sometimes mad with frenzy, which one is the real me?
Am I Chen Chen, or “Chen Chen”?
Also known as "Echoes of a Past Life", "The Faceless Puppeteer", and "Amnesia? Then I Discovered I'd Ascended in the Trial Game"
Reader's Guide
1. Slow-paced, with the worldbuilding revealed gradually. Please don't read if that bothers you.
2. The protagonist's characterization may involve spoilers, so I won't describe it in advance.
3. The story contains extensive narrative commentary and plot analysis.
4. No CP, but fan-created CPs are welcome (though it's unlikely anyone cares about this work).
5. There may be flaws in the logical explanations. The writing is average, and constructive criticism is welcome.
Enjoy!
