1. 251 天 Prisoners Beneath the Sky 天穹下的囚徒 Fantasy Is Poison幻想似毒Eastern Fantasy176k WordsOngoing Ever since I was little, I've wanted to play a game that could simulate physics and chemistry. I was fed up with how every game on the market felt the same, with boring damage and healing systems based on elementary-school arithmetic. But even over the past decade, I haven't seen a game that would satisfy me. So I'm writing a game novel here for my younger self. I welcome any feedback on its shortcomings. (I don't have the skills to make a cover, so I'm using a template for now.) —Reads—Score—Shelves

   Brainy characters are a must! The villains are intelligent, and the protagonists don't rely on plot armor; it's all about wit and courage! However, this is my first book, so the pacing is a bit slow, resulting in currently low ratings. Please, readers, give me your feedback and give my high praise to my debut work, ⟨⟨Prisoner Under the Sky⟩⟩. In a future world where all job opportunities are monopolized by AI, the male protagonist lives a meaningless, zombie-like life, while the female protagonist pays off her father's debts. Together, they plunge into a quantum immersive game that's incredibly fun, featuring molecular-level hardcore simulation, impressive magical items, a mind-blowing setting, and spectacular fight scenes. The three protagonists go from lone wolves to a united front, with consistent logic and no plot holes. Slow pacing? That's just build-up for a powerful, long-lasting impact! Get started and start reading! This is not a wish-fulfillment story, it doesn't feature invincible characters or plot-driven deaths, it has a novel setting, the protagonists win through their intelligence, and the growth path of the main characters is clear. I haven't written anything like this before, so I lack experience. My friends say my writing is good, but the pacing is a bit off. I would really appreciate any feedback and advice from experienced writers. I will seriously consider all criticisms. Thank you all! (Bowing in thanks)

   "The Underworld Patrolman" is a powerful long novel by Fei Yi, blending fantasy, suspense, and folk culture. The story unfolds from the perspective of the protagonist, Lu Jing, who has worked in the funeral industry since childhood with his third uncle, dealing with corpses. From the gruesome remains of those branded and dismembered to the bizarre bodies of those who drowned or died violent deaths, his family's business is both mysterious and fraught with taboos. One day, while dressing a female corpse, he accidentally falls into a coffin, revealing his destined underworld connection and unraveling a thousand-year-old entanglement with hidden forces such as the Yin-Yang Pavilion and the Green-Faced Fox. The novel depicts the secrets of the funeral industry with delicate strokes, such as the use of animal fat to repair branded corpses and the sewing of dismembered torsos with shark fin thread—details that are both realistic and horrifying. The interactions between Lu Jing and characters like the aloof and intelligent Qingzi and the enigmatic third uncle weave together a suspenseful main plot with foreshadowing and hidden clues. The book features both chilling tales of evil in mountain villages and train-rammed corpses, as well as grand settings like the "Four Spirit Families" and the "Chaotic Yin-Yang Pavilion," cleverly blending folk legends with esoteric arts. The author, Fei Yi, excels at using a detached writing style to depict warmth, such as the tranquil scene of Qingzi "sitting by the window reading," and her bond with Lu Jing, who protects her with his life, becoming the much-discussed "Jing-Qing CP" (a popular pairing among readers). During its serialization, the work attracted tens of thousands of readers, and the final chapter revealed many foreshadowing elements, earning praise for its "thousands of miles of foreshadowing, subtle and intricate details." If you prefer folk adventures like those in *Ghost Blows Out the Light*, or the human-ghost bonds of *The Ferryman*, this 1.76 million-word epic fantasy is worth reading.
