Sacrificed to an Unnameable Being? I’ll Take Its Place 被献给不可名状之物？我要取代祂
[Female protagonist, no romance + Chinese-style Lovecraftian horror + Classic of Mountains and Seas mythology + growing heroine] She was offered to the gods as one of a pair of twin sacrifices.

Escape from the Cube World 逃离魔方世界
An otherworldly tale, a transmigration story, an imaginative adventure, a Backrooms story, and a fantasy epic, with an enormous setting and a sweeping world. The author promises to flesh out every detail and fill in every plot hole. The male lead is neither a self-sacrificing saint nor cold-blooded. He’s an ordinary person who can tell right from wrong and good from evil, but he’s also steadfast and strong-willed. His golden finger is hardly overpowered; in fact, for much of the early story, he
