    The female protagonist, Cheng Yue, is essentially human, but her family and the world she inhabits are filled with ghosts and monsters. In university, she has three good roommates who all help her. There's also her adorable third-year brother, Cheng Yan; her kind cousin next door, Sun Qi; the long-haired, alluring "human-headed ghost," Tu Yu; and the pitiful Xiao Hua… although they are all essentially eerie, hahaha. Human players come to the female protagonist's world to do dungeon quests, and she is, in a sense, an important NPC. This story has no romance, no male lead, and no official pairing. The female protagonist is intelligent, aloof, beautiful, and wise; she is not a saint and will not unconditionally help others. Please don't assume a male character is the male lead just because you see him, and then question and criticize the author. This novel only has three dungeons; the author didn't write too many dungeon worlds. I recommend it because the content is engaging and the structure is reasonable. I recommend all readers to savor it. On a side note: the author says at the end that his writing isn't good, but he's being modest; I think it's quite good [laughing emoji].

The low rating is probably because it's niche?) Would you stake everything on a chance to be “cured”? A “nonhuman” security guard patrols the halls at night. The doctors specialize in sending patients to their deaths. The “nurses” watch coldly as patients fight in their wards, and teammates gradually turn into enemies. Termi 184Reads8.9Score100Shelves

    Reader note

    The protagonist, Qin Yi, is one of the few truly normal protagonists I've read in recent years. I'm so tired of those characters who constantly unleash their ultimate abilities and are always the most dazzling character in the room—what's the point? This book has a completely normal cast, an ensemble piece where everyone has their own unique traits. The plot is also well-written, logically sound, and the atmosphere is quite frightening. Several scenes made my sanity plummet, and the appearance of that leg in the latest dungeon gave me goosebumps.
