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. 5Reads—Score—Shelves

    Reader note

    "Never come to the Other Shore." A blood-soaked man uttered these words before Lu Kai, then vanished into white smoke. That night, a silver-white door appeared out of thin air—behind the door lay the Other Shore, a world where awakened beings could gain extraordinary powers by wearing a mask. The price: only five years of life remaining. Lu Kai could have turned and left, pretending none of this had happened. But three years ago, his grandfather and sister had disappeared behind that very door. He had no choice. He donned the "Ash" mask left by his grandfather and stepped into the Other Shore. Others called him the Chosen One, but his grandfather said he was the Watcher. Two identities, one must be false. And when Chenlong personally ordered his assassination, and the leader of "Eternal Night" paled upon seeing his mask, Lu Kai realized—his identity was far more terrifying than he had imagined. Twelve Watchers, thirty-six faces, two great emperors… The truth was revealed layer by layer, each answer pointing to the same question: Who exactly was he? "The Thirteenth Watcher," a suspenseful adventure filled with battle and an identity mystery. Behind the door lies an abyss, but also the answer. Open it, and you'll read it to the very end in one go.
