Rules of the Cinema: The Final Act Never Comes

[No System + No Dumbing Down + No Romance + Not a Power Fantasy + No Filler]

Hello, my name is Tian Jianqing.

I hadn’t yet gotten over the joy of passing my postgraduate entrance exams when I was suddenly trapped in a cinema-themed rules horror game.

Endless corridors, films that never stop playing;

Dead teammates appearing onscreen, vending machines stocked with pieces of their bodies;

Some people seem brave but have ulterior motives, while others stay in the background but are willing to sacrifice themselves…

Want to see how I fight to survive against all odds?

Bring your wits and courage, and step inside.

This is a short rules-horror story that I, a middle school student, spent two and a half years revising and polishing. At around 80,000 words, it has a more concise, rigorous, and meticulous style than most web novels, thanks to my experience as a student. It features plenty of deduction and occasional humor, giving it a distinctive feel. The beginning may seem a little ordinary, but the story gets more and more exciting as it goes on.

If you’re tired of mindless power fantasies and System panels, or don’t want to spend time slogging through a long novel, why not give my carefully crafted 80,000-word story a try? I can’t promise it’s the best, but I can promise I’ve put my heart into it. I’m sure you won’t regret reading it.

Everyone is welcome to read it. If it’s not to your taste, please don’t flame me.
