Strange Tales of RulesSuspenseNo Female Protagonist
When strange stories about rules invade the modern world, familiar childhood animation scenes become deadly copies, and time traveler Gu Yan becomes the chosen challenger. As an animation screenwriter student in his previous life, he has the ability to understand childhood animations frame by frame, which has become his only reliance in the world of ghost stories - his "hyperdimensional animation analysis eye" allows him to see through the connection between the copy and the original work, predict strange behaviors, and even perfectly assume the identity of the character.
Starting from the twisted waters of Bikini Castle, he discovered rule cards in the gloomy Squidward's apartment, met the greedy and alienated Mr. Crab in the Krusty Krab, and glimpsed the original programming logic of the strange world in the jellyfish field. While other challengers fell one after another due to cognitive biases, Gu Yan relied on his mastery of the underlying logic of animation to find hope in the collision between "innocent memories of childhood" and "cruel and strange reality."
As the number of clearances increases, he not only has to face the weird twists of characters such as Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, but also explores the "system authority" and unknown will behind the strange stories. When it is discovered that the author of the original copy is also trapped in it, should he save the creator and end the strange story, or should he maintain the advantage and control order? Every choice Gu Yan makes is reshaping the balance between the two worlds.
