I Became the Host of a Survival Game

If the author returns to continue writing the novel, I'd be willing to give him the title of "Emperor Yan," as this novel is truly excellent. I hope the author returns and continues updating 😻, and I look forward to the author's return. —Just filling space...

Speculation about the hiatus: The author stopped updating at the end of 2019, and shortly after that, the pandemic broke out. Could the author have already...?

This is a hiatus... I don't know how many days it's been. I'm writing a brief review in the hopes of giving the author some encouragement and suggestions. I'm a survival game enthusiast, and I'll make a slight comparison with the popular QQ group for "Pineapple Buns" (a popular online gaming group). Let's discuss the pros and cons: 1. Pros: The characters have extreme personalities, exaggerating every aspect of human nature. However, the cons are also apparent: ① Each character represents an extreme of personality, which could lead to a shortage of characters, especially with deaths occurring. This would make it difficult to continue the novel, which is likely the author's current predicament. 2. Pros: Each game can be reshuffled, allowing for more possibilities and combinations...

The reason I'm writing this long review is because after reading several chapters, I realized that among all the long reviews I've read, none have actually focused solely on discussing these two interesting protagonists. So, I couldn't resist the urge to be the first to write one, especially since most authors have interacted with those who write long reviews, hehe. Before discussing these two, I have to mention Hua Ru and Ling Wan from the Jingjing Poison Group, who share some similarities with these two. The common traits of these characters are: the former is evil, the latter righteous; the former selfish, the latter altruistic; the former selfless, the latter selfless. Actually, this kind of pairing is quite interesting, isn't it? Hh. They're all protagonists who are evil in the first place...

Tomb sweeping and incense offering Let me tell the readers who are offering incense. This book was discontinued at the end of 2019. It seems that Turtle-chan was abroad at that time, and then the COVID-19 pandemic broke out at the end of 2019… All I can say is, come and offer incense here when you have time; this book is indeed quite good.

Honestly, author, when I saw you say you sometimes curse the female lead while writing, I didn't want to read anymore. How can you curse the protagonist you created? As her creator, if even you curse her, what's the point of her existence? Is it just for attention? I'm also an author, although I don't update often, but the characters I create always appear in my mind. They trust each other, like each other, and can sense each other's thoughts—that's my belief. Maybe you can't, but I can. This is just my personal opinion, and I'm also asking for a spot in the competition.

*Ahem* (pretending to be serious), this is Ao Ning Han Shuang Xue's book review. This is my first time writing such a serious book review, and I hope it will be helpful to the lovely little turtle-chan. Minor spoilers, hopefully they won't affect your reading experience? (Feeling guilty) First, let's talk about the theme. Survival games are probably unique in science fiction light novels, right? (At least I haven't seen any other novels with a survival game theme; if I had, I'd change "unique" to "extremely rare.") This novel aims to test the weaknesses of human nature through various survival games: selfishness, ruthlessness, cunning, suspicion, and jealousy. And the story of human nature is always...

I really want to see what happens next.

The premise is interesting. We're used to protagonists playing survival games, but this is the first time we've seen a protagonist leading a survival game—not just leading, but creating! It's very entertaining. Some lines in the first two chapters are a bit melodramatic, but it doesn't detract from the reading experience. The third chapter is much less melodramatic. While I find Yotsuba's saintly nature hard to understand, she's not the kind of saint who interferes in others' lives, which is fine. I'm actually looking forward to more interesting survival games later on. It realistically portrays the complexities of human nature; for example, the description of the male student with a younger sister in the second chapter making excuses for abandoning her is excellent. Survival games are the best to write...

Dear author, I also write novels about death games! So I deeply understand the importance of a wildly imaginative mind when writing this type of novel! I have to admire your truly boundless imagination! The writing style is easy to read, the plot is full of twists and turns, and what I found most captivating were the texts left behind after the reboot in Alice's Hall! Just reading those texts made me incredibly excited! I doubt I'll ever experience that again in my life! This alone demonstrates the author's superb writing skills! (However, I think the zombie arc is too long; won't the readers lose patience? Maybe Luna will end up being the last one standing...)
