The core driving force of this novel is the collision of scientific exploration and unknown cosmic horror (hardcore science fiction + Cthulhu-style horror). It uses an exciting survival narrative (thriller/adventure) as a carrier, builds a worldview through rigorous scientific details and supernatural horror settings, and skillfully uses character interaction and black humor to adjust the rhythm and atmosphere to prevent the story from falling into pure horror or pure depression.
Therefore, hard-core science fiction thriller is the core positioning, emphasizing the combination of its scientific core and horror atmosphere. Cthulhu-esque is an important stylistic label, pointing out its cosmic horror qualities.
