1. 1 从 Starting with the Refrigerator 从冰箱开始 Tear The Pillow, Still Sleep撕枕犹眠Romance439k WordsCompleted [Main story complete] Fang Yexin has two secrets, known to very, very few people. First, when she was a child, she nearly died at Gem Beach, where a meteorite was said to have fallen. Second, after she came of age, she gained a special ability, a tiny, glitch-like power. Its only effect was to connect her refrigerator to her neighbor’s, so things from next door would often show up in her own fridge. A meaningless glitch. Not cool at all, with no potential whatsoever. Aside from making her fr 99kFavorites121.5kClicks/ch92.5kGifts

   Curator note

   Suspenseful but not supernatural, the world-building and superpower settings are very interesting. The suspense is satisfying as you gradually unravel it if you read it in one go, and the chilling details instantly draw the reader into the terrifying atmosphere.

2. 2 蠕 Creep 蠕 Just a Little Kid一个小孩儿Romance273k WordsCompleted Warning: See the author's note in Chapter 1. 1. Crawling Around From childhood to adulthood, Zhong Xinrou had never won the lottery once. She thought she was someone fate had no kindness for, but at 21, a pie fell from the sky and knocked her senseless. She'd heard plenty of stories about Cinderella marrying into a wealthy family, but never one about it happening because of someone's birth chart. Were rich people really this superstitious? Did they want someone with good luck more than a well 1.7kFavorites1kClicks/ch247Gifts

   Such a pure supernatural vibe! [Starry-eyed] This is an episodic story, and all endings are either Omega or Bad, so those who are obsessed with the main character should proceed with caution.

3. 3 诡 The Haunted Realm Descends 诡域降临 Qing Hou轻侯Romance836k WordsCompleted If you could earn a month's salary by watching a horror movie or going through a haunted house, would you learn to love being scared? “Now that's a deal!” One ordinary weekend, Jiang Wei received a phone of unknown origin. It could turn fear into “Fear Points,” which she could exchange for “gold beans.” So she became a longtime horror movie fan, a regular at every haunted house in the city, and the most beautiful paranormal livestream host. From then on, she was on her way to the top. The only t 18.2kFavorites17.9kClicks/ch54.4kGifts

   Curator note

   If you only consider the main character's setting, this book isn't really included, but the live stream content and atmosphere are quite good and interesting (although the props used at the Ghost Story Association are still pretty much the same, and the methods of scaring people are gradually becoming similar; I personally prefer the atmosphere of the initial ghost-hunting). Moreover, the main character is a rare big sister type (she really dares to rush into things, whether it's herself or others [rainbow praising]).

5. 5 死 Death's Kaleidoscope 死亡万花筒 Xi Zixu西子绪Danmei (BL)875k WordsCompleted The first sign that something was wrong was that the cat at home wouldn't let him pick it up anymore. Lin Qiushi realized that everything around him was beginning to feel horribly out of place. Then one day, when he opened the door to his apartment, he found that the familiar hallway had turned into a long corridor. At either end of the corridor stood twelve identical iron doors. And so the story began. Ruan Nanzhu told Lin Qiushi, “When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes back at you.” Li 1.6MFavorites1.8MClicks/ch3.6MGifts

Gu Jingsheng used to think falling meteorites were something that only happened in badly concluded novels. She never imagined she'd experience it herself one day. A huge rock came hurtling down from the sky with a burning debuff, leaving her just enough time to shout, “I wasn't the one who abandoned the novel!” before her HP hit zero.

    I preferred the other town story. The later part of the first part had a more technological feel, which felt like a sudden jump into a science fiction theater and a disappointing explanation of the mystery, losing much of the ineffable atmosphere of mystery.

    I hadn't finished reading this one when I was following the updates. The side stories were good, but I vaguely remembered that the male lead had an ex-girlfriend he couldn't forget. Please avoid if you're interested. Since I mainly focused on the plot and liked the female lead and the second male lead's character, I added it to my collection.
