Synopsis

(No System) (No romance) (The protagonist has a slight tendency to attract universal adoration) (Not invincible, protagonist grows stronger over time)

(The first ten chapters are a little tedious) (Not a serious Backrooms story. Any details not specified in the official material are handled however the author sees fit. Mainly based on the W version's main site and the Chinese version's main site. Canon buffs, beware.)

(The cover depicts Theodore, drawn by the author)

Theodore transmigrated, or more accurately, “clipped out” of the Frontrooms. By the time he realized he was in the Backrooms and had become an underage Partygoer who survived the Partygoers' War thanks to the Underage Entity Protection Act, he had already downed a whole bottle of almond water because he was thirsty.

Theodore: “...”

Just before the almond water could kill him, his golden finger finally arrived:

A vial of physique stabilizer.

It kept the user's physical condition fixed. After using it, no matter how badly they were injured, they couldn't die. In other words, if you were healthy when you used it, you could jump into lava and swim or drink Liquid Pain like water afterward, and you'd be fine. You had to admit, this golden finger was incredibly powerful!

Theodore, whose health bar was nearly empty: “...”

What else could he do? Use it! He was nearly dead, not dead yet. Worst case, he'd spend the rest of his life walking around while spitting up blood every few steps. As long as he didn't die, that was good enough.

And so, spitting blood all the while, he beat the tar out of every entity that tried to pick on someone they thought was weak. The entities who got pummeled finally learned their lesson, wailing inwardly: He's a scammer, he's a scammer!

Theodore (smiling): I may look weak and helpless, and I may spit blood every now and then. But I can fight!

A friend mentioned the synopsis being misleading, but it's not really. The protagonist will definitely get stronger... But the author is writing too slowly and hasn't gotten to that part yet (can I say? This part is at least after L11's storyline). Please note, this isn't a wish-fulfillment story!

It's a rare find with backroom themes and my favorite spoiler! Although I haven't been into backrooms for a long time and have deliberately cut off internet access (short video platforms), I was really pleasantly surprised when I discovered it. The subject matter is very appealing, the plot is great, and the information is excellent.

Teacher, your writing is absolutely amazing! I'm completely hooked! The author's descriptions are so detailed!!! The main character is incredibly well-developed—calm, aloof, composed, and wise. Although there's a bit of angst for the protagonist, it's still so good! I've been looking for this kind of story lately! The main character is also a little cute, an underage spoilsport, oh my gosh!

Greatness needs no further explanation 💕 Actually, at the beginning I felt so sorry for Theodore, and I watched it with a sense of shame, but it got better and better as it went on [OK]. I love the "heartthrob" 😋😋, and Kevin's friendship is practically like a robbery 😄

So cute! The knife-like movements were both painful and pleasurable 😋 Theodore is like a mom! Mom is the best! 💕

May the author's rating rise to 9.5 Or higher in the future! (Just a heads up: the author's writing style in the first few chapters is a bit unique and a little awkward, so feel free to skip them. I don't think it affects the main point. What follows is about the author's writing style in the later chapters.) (Author, if I say anything bad about you, may I be struck by lightning!)

The author's environmental descriptions are excellent, creating an immersive experience. There's a wealth of detail, and the character development is superb. The protagonist is a strong and kind young man, currently physically weak, but the author mentions he'll grow stronger later. Therefore, this book is likely a slow burn.

The author's writing is directly shocking and delicious! The interactions between the main characters are super cute! ᔦ ° ꒳ ° ᔨ ̖́ The emotions are incredibly delicate, and the writing style is superb. The main character is like a little bitter gourd, right? It makes you feel a little sour. The author's detailed descriptions are so realistic, it's a bit of a hallucination!

I've already started reading Chapter 55, and I really enjoy this book. The writing is excellent, and the illustrations are beautiful. I love Theodore's character; while reading, I could feel the protagonist's longing for his hometown and his sense of powerlessness in his situation after arriving in the harem.

I'm currently on chapter ten. The harem theme is great, and the battle-worn and sickly characters are appealing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 However, I personally think there's a bit too much description, like psychological and environmental descriptions. Things already explained to the reader don't need to be repeated!
