I read this several years ago, but can't find it now. All I remember is that the protagonist was a D-class personnel who escaped from SCP-682's mouth from the start. The female lead was SCP-166 and seemed able to disable the abilities of contained anomalies? The book featured Dr. Apes, Cain, God, and 682 barbecue, among other things.

Looking for stories similar to Convoy Escape: Starting with Sequence Replication! I want a female lead, not a male lead. She should be strong, with no romance or ambiguous relationship.

This work, with its innovative premise, plunges the protagonist, Lin Sanjiu, into an indescribable crisis. From her daily work to witnessing the "annihilation of the cognition of 37 people in the archives," and then becoming a "cached redundancy" of an ancient god, the story cleverly blends modern workplace pressure with the cosmic horror of ancient gods, carving out a deep rift amidst the urban…
Lin Sanjiu is a well-developed and three-dimensional character. He is both a vessel bearing the mark of an outer god, struggling in a mysterious fate, and a "human" who remembers his sister, the paper bird, and is swayed by Jiao Ye's soup. This extreme tug-of-war between divinity (or inhumanity) and humanity is striking.
This is a completely new future world with a novel worldview, featuring humans and settings that have never been defined or developed before. It contains many unfamiliar yet precise new terms, along with a plot that requires brainstorming. Without careful attention, it's not easy to understand.
It's so good! A friend recommended it, and I couldn't put it down from the start. I read the latest chapter in one go. The plot is completely original, and the fusion of Eastern and Western legends and fantasy is perfect. The storyline is incredibly smooth and the plot is thrilling and exciting. Highly recommended!
The new Shanghai depicted by the author seems forever shrouded in a damp, rusty, and unknown fog. It possesses both the hustle and bustle and coldness of a metropolis, and is constantly permeated by the gaze of the abyss. This writing style, which deeply embeds supernatural elements into the daily life of ordinary people, fills every corner of daily life with an uncertain sense of suspense and a…
This is a truly imaginative and wonderful book with a fantastical world that feels completely natural! From the very beginning, when Lin Sanjiu's identity as a ghost deliveryman is revealed, you can tell this protagonist is no ordinary person. When the whispers of the Cthulhu Outer Gods echo across Shanghai, this bold innovation combined with the background creates a unique reading experience.
Lord of Mysteries: Tales of New Shanghai Constructs a captivating yet unsettling world. The New Shanghai depicted by the author is far from an ordinary modern metropolis; it is more like a living, breathing, enormous enigma—forever shrouded in a damp fog, a mixture of rust and the unknown. The book's greatest strength lies in its astonishing ability to blend elements.
This novel is undoubtedly a literary masterpiece that achieves a high degree of harmony in narrative art and insightful observations of human nature. Its plot structure is intricate and layered, with a natural and fluid flow of development. Each twist and turn is both logical and unexpected, and the progressively building suspense and well-paced rhythm together create an immersive narrative space.
When the Cthulhu Mythos collides with the strange tales of Shanghai, this fusion is simply divine! The setting of Lin Sanjiu transforming from a psionic loan collector into a vessel for the Old Gods is so captivating. Every tale dungeon feels like a life-or-death game, with detailed and terrifying rules that made my palms sweat.
This novel is very well written. The author uses a mature and experienced style to depict a grand scale, filled with substantial content. It's clearly written by a seasoned finance and tax professional, and it's very thought-provoking. The story's setting and plot are also very exciting and interesting; many parts were thrilling and gripping. It's exceptionally well-written.
