Synopsis

[Rule One: If you hear a knock at night, do not open the door, no matter who it is.]

[Rule Two: If you see someone smiling at the end of the hallway, turn around immediately.]

[Rule Three: Never break the rules above.]

When Shen Ji wakes up in his rented apartment, he finds a new text on his phone: "Welcome to [The Sinister Rules]. Survival is victory."

From that moment on, he is swept into one eerie instance after another. Each one has survival rules so strict they're downright twisted. Break a rule and you die, without exception.

He soon discovers that the rules never lie, but they never tell you the whole truth, either.

In the "Midnight Hospital" instance, he uses deduction to uncover a hidden rule and earns his first item: the [Three-Ring Death Knell], which can freeze the paranormal for three seconds when rung.

Just three seconds.

Three chances.

Once they're gone, it's useless.

That's all humanity has to fight the paranormal.

"An item can save you for a moment. The only thing that can truly keep you alive is your brain."

Each instance is a meticulously designed death game, and every rule conceals a deadly trap. With only a handful of clues, Shen Ji must piece the truth together while searching for the one way out under the paranormal's watchful gaze. Gradually, he realizes that every instance seems to point to the same truth. What, exactly, lies at the end of this game?

I have read the first few dungeons, and I have reached chapter 30. I think it is still very interesting. I am looking forward to the following content. The male protagonist is very strong, and each dungeon is clearly divided. Some rules are weird, but I don't know how many are in the same dungeon. The logic of this book is very good, and the rules are the highest. I haven't read such a clear book in a long time.

Not bad, not bad. The protagonist has an IQ, not a virgin, and is decisive enough. The plot is very exciting, but there are some shortcomings. For example, after the copy is passed, the real life of the protagonist is not written out (I don't feel it), and about the weird props... I think there is no draft, and there are a few things that need to be changed.

It's a very standard rules-based ghost story, and the pace is also fast. Except for the poor setting of the supporting character who speaks, everything else is good. The protagonist is a bit like a ruthless passing machine, but he will save people within his ability. I see that there is no side drama at the moment, but the supporting characters are relatively weak. Overall, it is worth watching [Note]

It's great. I really like this plot.

The first thirty chapters are pretty good, it has the feel of a terrifying infinite flow, but the later chapters don't feel like the infinite flow, it's like upgrading to find a father 😂

The pace is fast, and the plot of each level does not depart from the analysis of the rules. The teammates are very weak, but they will not harm the male protagonist. The male protagonist is fierce, which is good.
