Name: My Rules Have a Slight Edge
Author: Paper Bear

Synopsis

When the world begins to follow the wrong rules, do you choose to die rationally or survive by going mad?

The world of Chen Mo, a medical student, was utterly destroyed by a bizarre “distortion.” The sky turned into static, and reality warped into a deadly trap. His younger sister vanished into a classroom governed by one rule: “No talking.”

To find his sister, Chen Mo is forced into a desperate world made up of countless “rule-bound anomalies.” Here, ghosts and monsters kill according to cold, merciless logic. The only way to survive is to become a smarter “Rulekeeper,” exploiting the rules and even betraying them when necessary.

But power comes with a curse: every time he uses his abilities, his madness accelerates. Visions of a psychiatric hospital begin flashing before his eyes, and a doctor's whispers echo in his ears. He can't tell whether he's the savior of the apocalypse or a lunatic lost in delusions inside a mental hospital.

Ahead lies the cold truth that could destroy the world. Behind him is the last of his humanity, hanging by a thread.

Chen Mo knows he must stay rational enough to solve every deadly predicament, while also embracing just the right amount of madness... Only then can he carve a path to survival through utter despair for the people he loves.
