Coming soon: The Sucker in the Escape Game
Blurb:
Ling Jia enters an absurd survival game to save her mother, who died in an accident.
Players are assigned to teams of five, and must make sure as many teammates as possible survive to the end.
The game is called "The Hilarious Life-for-Life Team-Building Game."
As an HR employee, Ling Jia loves organizing team-building activities at work that all her coworkers hate. Maybe this is her comeuppance.
But when it's her turn to play a deadly team-building game, she gets the worst possible start: she draws a weak team that every player expects to be the first eliminated.
The other teams look at them with disdain, convinced that Ling Jia's team, with three women, will be the first to be knocked out.
Ling Jia: "If you're so good, change the title to Tug-of-War Game."
Stages:
Qualifier: Stranded Island
Stage One: Maze of the Magic Cube
Stage Two: Nine Meals and a Skylight
Stage Three: Funeral Town
Stage Four: Bloody Folk Customs
A traditional infinite-flow story, featuring ordinary people outwitting one another. No golden finger, with a very subtle romance.
The style is eerie and grotesque.

Blurb for the upcoming The Sucker in the Escape Game:
Qiao Yingyue has been unlucky since childhood.
Food poisoning at a banquet, an early period during the college entrance exams, her internship company going bankrupt, and a train car coming uncoupled.
She's a born sucker for bad luck.
After dying, she enters a mysterious game that can grant people one chance to be reborn, but her unlucky nature follows her like a shadow.
In the same stage, her mission is the hardest.
When players draw an item after clearing a stage, hers is the shabbiest.
In a stage where everyone is hunted, she has the highest NPC hostility rating.
Even the players competing against her can't bear to watch.
Qiao Yingyue stares blankly at the item she just drew: "A cup with a crack, so it can't hold anything." She wants to smash it and quit.
But she wants so badly to be reborn that she grits her teeth and keeps playing.
Later, this born sucker for bad luck fights hard, gritting her teeth through one SSS-difficulty stage after another, including stages beyond her level. She climbs to the top of the rankings and looks down on everyone.
Once Qiao Yingyue reaches the top, the first thing she does is change her player profile signature: "Do you know how much it means for a born sucker to take first place?"
Theme: Everyone has a purpose in life
Nearly 400,000 words including pre-selection, there are eight copies. The writing is good, the organization is clear, the plot is tight and the pace is fast, just like the urgency of each participant to strive to realize their wishes. There is no running account, it is very exciting and realistic, but each copy is very different and rich in content. Readers can also burn their brains along with it. It's new for me to choose teammates based on Type 5 animal personalities. The following book review contains spoilers! The game system itself is the biggest trap. It seems to help you realize your wishes by giving, but the actual purpose is to deprive you of life, deprive hope, and deprive friendship. Every time when the rules are released, they say happy team building, which sounds really ironic. The island of the pre-selected copy did not reduce the difficulty, and the game system did not cover up its own malice, encouraging teams to kill each other, not revealing the correct number of teams, almost no prompts and supplies, and even a health bar limit, which added enough urgency for survival. The protagonist team can calm down and carefully deduce the true rules and directions of the map through cooperation and their own knowledge. It is not easy. The team can build mutual trust and cohesion so quickly, thanks to the heroine's suggestion to exchange balloons at the beginning. Some dungeons are set to non-involvement mode, which also promotes some spirit of sacrifice (but in other teams, teammates may be sacrificed), but facing the death of teammates will still have a lot of psychological impact, and there is almost no rest time after completing a dungeon. The psychological pressure must be great, and all the dungeons add up to only a few days. From the pre-selected copy, you can see that the character settings are very distinct. The heroine is really careful and bold, and she is worthy of being a professional! They are also responsible for intelligence. The five of them all have their own strengths and charisma. The captain Ling Jia is calm and good at thinking and will bear the pressure of his teammates' lives on himself. Xie Jingming, who is introverted and talkative but reliable and always takes the initiative to explore the road ahead when facing danger, looks weak but is actually very smart and delicate. Xu Muci, who is brave and has always been brave, is very good at fighting, Jiang Qi, who will not give up even at the last moment and insists on gritting his teeth, and Chi Yuxing, who knows his shortcomings but will still be optimistic in the face of his efforts to contribute to the team. The five of them will be happy and proud to be able to help the team, and have a sense of belonging. Every dungeon has moments that make people excited and emotional. They are indeed ordinary people. They have no cheats, no skills, no props, and no level upgrades. They are not so smart that they can ride all over the place or be invincible. The teams that survive to the end are all about the same strength, just like the copywriters. It is said that I am born to be useful. Those who are smarter will observe the deduction carefully, and those with better physical fitness will stay on the front line. They can trust each other and interact with each other. They can use strengths and avoid weaknesses, take the wrong approach and completely trust the captain and teammates, allowing their team to achieve the effect of 1+1 greater than 2. I can feel that the author has a wide range of knowledge, and it is very enjoyable to read. There are no hints or props in each dungeon. The system is still very confusing, and you have to face inhuman and abnormal situations. In addition, there are team clearance restrictions. In order to avoid interference from other teams or to kill other teams, the frequency is quite high. Especially like the second dungeon, the deep sea is scary and dangerous enough. Fortunately, the heroine thought of killing other teams first. Otherwise, just exploring the bottom of the sea would cause so much damage that she would never be able to withstand it. After being attacked by other teams after landing, I have been very worried about what dangers there are on the shore. Because of the physical difference, it is not easy to face other teams, and the cost is also high. The protagonist team is very decisive and ruthless. It is really exciting and can be read in one sitting. This tense, unknown plot and discussion of human nature are probably one of the charms of this type of novel. However, for a person with a small heart like me, I probably read one copy a day, which feels like watching a movie a day. The author feels comfortable writing horror elements, and he knows how to make people hairy. He plays the Chinese horror very well in the funeral town, the abnormality in the normal, the disharmony in the harmony. In the end, the truth is revealed and makes people feel that the town is very sad. There are no ghosts here. The most terrifying thing is the malice and greed of people, as well as the powerlessness and blind obedience persecuted by the town next door. In addition, it would be interesting if there was a variety show that produced a version similar to Folklore. I don't know if there is a version that removes the blood and is so difficult, haha. I also liked the part where the two teams collaborated and both had female captains. When it came to the life and death chess game, I was really angry with the system. It was really too cruel. When I came to this copy, I suddenly thought of the Harry Potter Wizards Chess and Golden Brain program I watched when I was a kid. I learned a lot of unpopular knowledge, but because the opponent was a friendly team, it was a bit heavy. I personally think the last dungeon is quite scary. It is indeed the ultimate dungeon. The ending is a bit cruel. Although when the rules were released, I knew that only three would survive. I was mentally prepared that my teammates would be eliminated. I didn't expect that no one except the captain would survive. The dungeon was really malicious and forced people to kill each other. I don't know. Did Jiang Qi and Xie Jingming's self-sacrifice surprise Yuan Xingren? It was so heartbreaking to see Mu Ci's death, and Jiang Qi knew that he was parasitized to the extent that he would not survive, but he was mentally prepared to sacrifice early, and Xie Jingming jumped off without hesitation after hugging him in the end. They all made me cry. I really like my teammates! I really like Phoenix Squad! It is indeed a group portrait article, every character has a shining point ~ It's hard to say who I particularly like. I really have more to say. I really hope there will be a side story. I want to see the perspectives or stories of my teammates, especially Mu Ci and Chi Zi in the last level. I miss them so much. Although there is no emotional line in this game (but there is no breathing time in the middle and it is very tight, and it is difficult to have the opportunity to develop feelings), but the friendship between the five people is really touching. I am very much looking forward to the second part. I hope the core settings will be increased and my teammates will return. Because the purpose of this team-building game was mentioned, and I also look forward to the continued expansion of the world view. Although the ending is cruel, it is very reasonable and has foreshadowing. I usually only read sweet articles, so I can accept it and give it a second try (but I really need to see the Phoenix team reunited). Thank you, the author, for bringing such a good work.
