    It's very fresh and interesting. I've read horror travel novels before, but never one where the female protagonist works in a horror travel world; this is the first one I can recall.

    (All are non-CP (no romantic pairing). The first is a female-oriented novel, the following four are male-oriented. The first three mainly focus on creating horror games, the latter two on creating custom games.) The first novel features a female protagonist who transmigrates to an interstellar world where horror games are underdeveloped, creating horror games that shock the native inhabitants. [Completed, though the ending is slightly disjointed] (Personal opinion) The second novel features a male protagonist who transmigrates to a parallel world where horror games are extremely underdeveloped, creating many modern, wildly popular horror games. [Ongoing, updates are irregular, roughly every four or five days, and some chapters are a bit filler, but overall not a big problem; I suggest waiting a while before reading] (Personal opinion) The third novel has a similar world-building to the first two, also about creating horror games.
