Why Is It So Hard to Lie Flat?

Mu Qing is the best of the current generation of young Celestial Masters, but all he wants is to lie flat and avoid work. Unfortunately, his terrible luck refuses to leave him alone.

He goes on vacation at a hotel, and a ghostly young woman makes a gloomy request: "Help me get revenge."

At his family's antique shop, his junior apprentice brings home a bottle containing a wisp of ghostly energy. The energy bites him, then mistakes him for a bride.

He goes abroad to play a live-action battle royale game, only to get caught in a major incident at the venue. He can't get in or out, and a group of people are hunting him down.

And that's just a few examples.

Mu Qing, who can punch ferocious ghosts and stomp on the Judge of the Underworld, says: "What a headache. I want to flip a table!"

An offbeat paranormal light novel blending creatures from Eastern and Western mythology, with a breezy tone.

P.S. A little warning: this is set in a fictional world, a very, very fictional one. The timeline differs from reality, and there's a mountain of original lore about the supernatural and cultivation. In short, it's all made up, so believe in science, everyone, lol.

Ongoing novel, an infinite-world story: The Years the Evil God Spent Slaying Monsters

Blurb:

Shen Li has a secret: he can enter other worlds in his sleep, but he has no control over it.

Those worlds have no fairy tales about princes and princesses, nor any thrilling tales of war and bloodshed. They hold only endless despair and crushing pain.

Unnameable creatures revel in the dark of night. Tiny, antlike humans struggle in despair, and it seems the world could be destroyed at any moment.

But everything changes the moment Shen Li appears...

From an on-the-scene interview by an unnameable journalist: "What do you think of your respective contamination journeys?"

Unnameable A: "I met a strange human who stole twenty years of my time. It was awful! I never want to meet that strange human again!"

Unnameable B: "I met a strange human who took my head and gave it to a bunch of inferior creatures to kick around like a ball. It was awful. I'm going back to the abyss, and I'm never coming out again, QAQ."

Unnameable C: "I met a strange human who took all my tentacles and gave them to those inferior creatures as food. This was the worst journey ever, bar none!"

Countless other complaints from victimized unnameable beings have been omitted...

Unnameable journalist: "And Mr. Shen Li, do you have anything to say about these accusations?"

Shen Li faces the camera, his expression utterly sincere. "They did all that of their own free will. I'm a good person. I've never forced them to do anything. I swear it on Azathoth!"

All the unnameable beings: "Ptooey!"
