The first steps of darkness. I chose the tetralogy.
The outline is set for three parts.
Introduction 1: Introduction to rules (emphasis on the core gameplay of "Rule Weird Talk")
"Warning! The destination ahead is "The Other Shore Resort". Please abide by the following rules: 1. The person in the mirror is not you, please do not talk to "it".
2. The restaurant provides free food every day, please be sure to finish it.
3. Never open the door of Room 404 after midnight... When death becomes a rule written in black and white, I, a student of criminal psychology, must join forces with a madman to find the only way to survive between the lines.
Remember, there is no turning back, the truth... Is more deadly than the rules. "
Analysis of popular items:
Straight to the point: Directly throw out specific and creepy "rules", instantly pulling readers into the weird story situation, creating a strong sense of involvement and tension.
Highlight the core: Emphasize "rules = death" and "find loopholes = survival", and accurately hit the cool points of "rules weird talk" and "high IQ puzzle solving".
Create contrast: "Criminal psychology student" represents calm logic, and "madman" represents chaotic intuition. This combination of "sanity and madness" is highly dramatic and makes readers look forward to the interaction of the protagonist team.
Leaving suspense: The last sentence "The truth... Is more deadly than the rules" implies that there is a grander world view behind the story, attracting readers to uncover the ultimate truth.
