[Female-Oriented, No Romance | Interstellar + Cyberpunk + Infinite Game | Ensemble Cast | A Wolf in Calm Disguise]
A car accident sends Shi Ren, who was just about to work overtime, straight into an infinite game.
She opens her eyes back in high school, where the first scenario, [No One Returns to School], begins on the spot. Find the right classroom, answer the eerie being's random questions that mean instant death, figure out the visual confusion between the real Su Xiaoyu and her fake... One wrong step, and there's no coming back.
After barely surviving the exam, she finds a magnificent, dazzling city before her. This is the world of the dead: Ghost City.
With the mindset that surviving one more day is a victory, Shi Ren struggles to stay alive in this rigidly stratified city of ghosts.
An eerie town trapped in a time loop, a haunted toy house imprisoning a girl, a blissful nation that worships its gods as the meaning of life... Step by step, Shi Ren goes from being alone to leading a group, and from a lowly prisoner to the heights of power and influence. Only then does the calm, wooden mask she wears begin to fall away.
Just as the people lying in wait reveal themselves and prepare to take Shi Ren down in one fell swoop, they find an army of monsters from every field standing behind her:
Twin sisters stand back to back, twirling bloodstained daggers in their hands. A girl in white with angel wings flies through the air, her pale face flecked with blood. A boy in a shirt with peach-blossom eyes tilts his head slightly as countless eerie beings emerge behind him...
Shi Ren stands at the front of the group and curls her lips into a smile. “The game is over.”
But just as everyone thinks it's all over, the black mist surrounding Ghost City suddenly parts, revealing another world...
Reader advisory:
The heroine is a police detective, not a goody-two-shoes. She is neither saintly nor soft-hearted.
It's a great read, very mind-bending, the female lead is highly intelligent, and I really like Qi Xiaoyao's character. Unlike other infinite flow novels where the characters are silent and aloof, she's just an ordinary kid who loves to show off and be strong. But I think this kind of character isn't clichéd, and I really like it. I recommend everyone to read it! 😆😆
It's really good! I have to support it. It has a huge world-building and a great ensemble cast of characters. However, the female lead's items only unlock after completing the Zhongxu and Nobody Returns to School instances. Don't worry, fellow readers. Sometimes you might find certain instances a bit confusing, but there's a reason for them later. Trust me, once you finish the Zhongxu and Nobody Returns to School instances, you'll definitely get into it! 😘😘
