Hey, everyone! My next story, After I Launched a Fierce Offensive Against a Straight Man, is coming soon.
Lin Qiusheng is a farmhand who scrapes by working the land. He once dated a local village hooligan.
Later, that hooligan died. Lin Qiusheng was sad for a while, but life had to go on.
Then one day a group of young people suddenly arrived in the village, talking about missions and clues. Only then did Lin Qiusheng realize that he might just be an NPC in an infinite-flow game dungeon.
The young people called him the pretty widower.
*
Lin Qiusheng takes three seconds to accept that he's just an NPC, then goes right back to farming.
Until night falls, when he suddenly jolts awake to find himself held tightly by a cold body.
He turns around and sees a blood-covered man staring at him in silence.
The village hooligan, his deceased lover, has returned, bringing a pile of things Lin Qiusheng has never seen before.
“Do you like them?”
The man leans closer, his body icy and his face smeared with blood, but he gazes at Lin Qiusheng with utter seriousness and offers him a lingering kiss.
*
From then on, Cheng Ye leaves every morning and comes home in the evening with a pile of strange things: expensive watches, pretty necklaces, elegant fountain pens...
The only problem is that Cheng Ye comes home filthy and covered in blood every day.
Lin Qiusheng, an honest farmer, decides to sit down and have a serious talk with his lover.
And so this scene unfolds:
All the players in the infinite-flow game know of a dungeon with a strangely high difficulty level: The Village of a Hundred Filial Virtues.
It features a pretty widower who, unlike the sinister NPCs in other dungeons, is honest and kind, and even goes out of his way to help players.
It should be a dungeon with a high clear rate, but the strange thing is that an infinite-flow game's ultimate boss can spawn there at random.
A killing machine who wants nothing more than to destroy everything in the dungeon.
Until one day, players pass by a thatched hut.
Inside, the pretty widower is earnestly lecturing the “killing machine.” “Did you go steal things from people again?”
An honest, beautiful pretty widower bottom x a gloomy, murderous, real ghost top
Content warning: The top is an ultimate boss and may have clones in different dungeons.
Theme: Live positively and face hardship with the courage to never give up
I followed the story from beginning to end, and felt a little empty after finishing it. I understand the author's intention in stopping the main story at this point, but I don't know if I read it too hastily, but I always feel like there are still things that haven't been explained clearly.
I've finished reading it. The main storyline and the side stories were actually pretty good, although there were a few typos in a few chapters. Overall, it was alright. I hope the author can fill in all the foreshadowing in the side stories; there seem to be quite a few plot holes. On a side note, has the author also read *Dead Silence* and *Fatal Game*? I saw some familiar old friends there, haha.
I stayed up all night reading it last night and I'm still a bit confused. Since I think it must have been quite a feat for you to write such a long piece, and the individual stories were quite engaging, I'd like to offer some suggestions. If you don't like them, just consider them my advice: I think that in any novel, the ending with a "divine intervention" feels a bit off.
Overall, the story is quite good, but the side story about Cheng Wu feels a bit of a pity. I initially thought Cheng Wu and Cheng Ye would reunite and be with Lin Qiusheng, but they ended up as two completely different people. Lin Qiusheng, however, remained the same person, only suffering from amnesia.
I was actually looking for a side story, but the main story completely deviated from the synopsis.
It's a bit abrupt. They said it was the last three chapters when we were in the genius asylum, so how did it suddenly end in just a few chapters...?
I don't understand the relationship between Cheng Wu and Cheng Ye. Has Cheng Wu returned to the real world, while Cheng Ye and Qiu Sheng stayed in the game? 💔💔
It was so good... How did it end already?
Author, author 😭 When will we get to read some sweet side stories? Life without novels is truly agonizing! [Hugging thigh]
Huh? So sudden...?
