My Years of Ghost Hunting Among the People 我在民间捉鬼的那些年
Chinese-Style Horror, No Female Lead My name is Xu Jian. I’m 26, and I studied Taoist arts under a Maoshan priest for several years. Over the years, I’ve seen all kinds of things. After doing this long enough, I realized that ghosts aren’t scary. What’s truly frightening are the things people can’t get past in their hearts. All I do is help them say what needs to be said and settle their debts once and for all. People call me a Celestial Master of the Taoist sect, but I’m really just an ordin

Ghosts: They Exist If You Believe 鬼魂:信则有,不信则无
[Supernatural + Thriller + The Bizarre + Horror] Do ghosts really exist in this world? Some say they’re hallucinations; others call it delusion. Yet all kinds of bizarre, inexplicable events remain shrouded in mystery, their truth impossible to discern. If you insist on believing there are no ghosts, some things become impossible to explain. That’s why many old folks tell us: Believe, and they exist; don’t believe, and they don’t!

The Slippery Slope Fallacy 滑坡谬误
[Ensemble cast + not a power fantasy + a nonhuman survival guide + dying, coming back to life, dying again, and being reborn] Fate depends on what one encounters; its cycles cannot be fathomed. I write whatever line comes to mind. Plenty of things may put you off. The plot is a mess of tired jokes, the narrative is chaotic, and the point of view keeps jumping around. People die, stay dead, die again, and even in death take someone down with them. No couples. None of them are human.
