Just my opinion and my rant ?

At first I'm excited reading this Novel, even make me want to read MTL

But later I'm feeling it's to monotone, altough I'm like the ML and the MC, but slowly I feel like it's to boring to see them have same (maybe) personality (especially ML).

There something that make me confused

... more>>
Spoiler

it's when I'm forgot in arc 3 or four, without warning or what happen, MC got anmesia (afterall in previous arc he was remember he just transmigation and remember his lover.

After arc when ML is a Virus, next arc he just forgot about ML and about his transmigation

Without any explanation or warning why he got anmesia, seriously I'm confused

[collapse]

I want to read this till the end, but I feel bored reading this without feeling excited : (

This is good novel but I'm feeling bored

The truth I'm interested for each world in each arc, the concept is omg

My fave ML is when he
Spoiler

when he was a Clown, I like this arc altough want to slap the cannon fodders, they are to much annoying than other cannon fodders in previous arc

But I'm love MC mother <3 especially see ML want to pursue MC

The mother like : OMG NO >: ( ( (must protecc my baby from this vicious devil

[collapse]

So maybe this is not for you cup of tea if you want something excited (well at first maybe it's)

Sorry for my bad grammar ? MTL make me more confused with Grammar hhhh

Now I'm feeling want to re-read Kaleidoscope of death and Earth is Online when waiting Card Room updates ??? <<less

Currently rereading cuz it was good but can’t remember the previous chapter I was on lol. Don’t expect to be scared, this book focuses on the romance & ML is the cute kind of yandere who loves MC too much to hurt them and does anything they say. I switched to MTL for ease of reading since I dont like chapters split into multiple parts & things being changed mid translation, but that’s just me 😅

I'm really loving this story. I'm actually just reviewing so I can recap for my future self when I pick it back up in a year. I'm a serial binger, so I can't stand to wait for the next chapter/episode of a thing I like on a weekly basis, so I forget about it until there's a stockpile.

As far as stories of the Infinite Flow or World Hopping persuasion, especially of the yaoi variant, I think it's one of the better ones, though I do tend to love the horror... more>> themed ones, so maybe I'm biased.

I really love the MC, just because he has so many facets.

Spoiler

The MC, Zhou Yu, is interesting because, other than his tendency to remain calm under duress, his photographic memory, and his poker face, he's kind of a blank slate that changes depending on who he's possessed. Note that he isn't ACTING like the OG owner, he's actually got some of their personality traits as a result of inheriting their memories.

In the first world, he was cheerful and friendly, in the second world, he was full of paranoia and anxiety, and in the third world, he kind of had the atmosphere of an everyman, even doing the chasing for once. Granted, in that world, the ML was so ridiculous, the MC didn't need weird character traits to make things harder. In the 4th world, for reasons I haven't fully confirmed, Zhou Yu has forgotten he's been reincarnating, and has depression, though he snaps out of it somewhat halfway through.

This newest world is the most interesting to me, because the MC, who still isn't recalling the previous lives like the ML, is a total Dudebro, and very much thinks he's straight. It's the first time I've seen him as an idiot, and I'm loving it. He's hilarious!

[collapse]

The ML is harder to nail down, because unlike the MC, the ML never remembers the previous lives.

Spoiler

His introduction was fun for me in the first arc. 'Girl' was bats**t insane, and I loved it! But, most importantly, he withheld his yandere tendencies as well as his instincts as a vengeful ghost for the sake of his love. The only good yandere is one with self control who keeps crap like imprisonment fantasies as just that: fantasies.

I also liked him in the second world. Being split between an adaptation of Frankenstein's monster and Cthulhu, himself, I so loved it! I especially liked how, whether it was the bulky abomination born just yesterday, or the ancient god dwelling in the deep, they were both so naive. Cthulhu wanting to seduce the MC with his favorite set of tent**les, while the (paranoid and slightly mad at the time) MC was enacting a one man drama show, made me laugh out loud.

If I had to say, I liked the third arc the least. It felt shorter and less detailed than usual, but the ML was the biggest problem. It was the most selfish variant of him, so it may be for the best that he didn't overstay his welcome. The arc is still fun, since it's literally Invasion of the Body Snatchers, with every snatched body being the ML. The MC was overwhelmed a bit, which was funny at first, but by the end, the whole arc felt a little incoherent.

Fourth arc, as Morris, the ML felt a little more developed than usual. The MC and ML interacted throughout the plot as close friends and classmates who are both going through a crisis together. An interesting point I liked about this arc in particular was how difficult it was for them to finally be together. This was a hyper religious world with severe h*mophobia, and because this was the first world the MC couldn't remember the previous arcs, he couldn't overcome the hurdle easily. Which, as one would expect, makes for a more satisfying feeling when they finally do sort things out.

The fifth arc I'm currently in the middle of, I'm still not sure what the ML is, besides a demon in general. He keeps being called a clown, but from his description, it seems he's dressed like a fine gentleman, just wearing a jester mask to hide his face. As usual, he falls in love with the MC right away, but unfortunately... like I said before, the 5th arcs MC is a bit of a straight man. Funny thing is, he still crushes on the clown anyway, but because the ML is seducing him without showing his face (he's in a separate dimension, communicating telepathically), the MC doesn't realize they're the same person.

[collapse]

The side characters aren't too interesting, but they aren't NOT interesting, either. I'm beginning to wonder why all the MC's parents are awful people in every arc. The outsiders confuse me a little, too. They KNOW these people and these worlds are all real, not just NPCs and movie transmigrations. Yet, they still look down on the netizens for...I don't know, existing before the futuristic world the outsiders live in? Oh, lol, a door with a physical lock, what a tr*sh place~... seriously? I really don't understand them. They're also terrible at working together to survive. I'd feel bad for them, though, if they ever showed me a decent one who treats human beings like humans.

Anyway, I digress. It's worth a read. <<less

I'm honestly enjoying this so much. Especially the theater at the end with the world's consciousness CP's.

The translation isn't complete so I have to MTL it but I don't see the hate against the senseless massacres. But then again I'm a gore fan so I won't hate it.

I can now see why most people gave up on the story after the second arc jaslkjfa It's not a bad read! The premise is pretty interesting and the writing is not bad. The translators also did pretty well. Just, the development of the plot and the charcters is... eh. The two main characters get together after the first arc and because of how the MC is played outside the SYSTEM, you can only depend on cannon fodders that die literally the next second in order to get a sense... more>> of the story. If the pacing was a little slower and the interactions between the two characters more interesting, I'd have kept reading. But, unfortunately, the author didn't really seem to care much about developing the romance. Making it feel rather bland and hurried.

CHARACTERS:

Zhou Yu (MC) : He's a reincarnator that retained the memories of his past life (he seems to be related to the SYSTEM in some way, but it's different from the players that he meets.) He progressively becomes more and more of a Gary Stu as the story continues LOL! But, he starts off as a pretty average White Lotus-type protagonist that earns the affection of the dark and dangerous love interest. His background is in hacking, but it doesn't really affect the story as the first couple of worlds are historical (and by the time he gets to more futuristic worlds, he's already become.... well, godly, is all I'll say for now LOLOL.)

Feng Xing (ML) : The protagonist of the world that the MC first ends up in. There, his background is pretty pitiful and his character settings had him already in love with the original!MC. With Zhou Yu acting kindly to him, he falls relatively quickly.

ROMANCE:

The romance in this is pretty weak. The character settings were already pretty vanilla to start with, but the author's handling of their relationship progression from then on made it feel meh?

PLOT:

After dying from an unsatisfying life, the MC finds himself reborn in a horror movie (not that he knows it, he just thinks that he's been reborn). He decides to just live his new life there but ends up getting involved because of the ML, who is the protagonist/villain of said world.

RATING:

The rating for this is 3! It's not bad, it has its charms, but yeah, it's hard to stay interested in it. I'd recommend it for someone who is interested in exploring unique worldbuilding (the worlds in this, at least the ones I read about, which was 3/7 (?), were pretty interesting!) Don't read it for the main characters T.T is what I'm saying.

RANDOM RATINGS: (VERY BIASED)

  • Personal Enjoyment Rating: 2/5 (I enjoyed it at first, but slowly lost interest.)
  • Literary Quality: 3.5/5 (without good characters, it's hard to care about the author's unique worldbuilding.)
  • Characters: 1/5
  • Setting: 4/5
  • Heat Level: Level 0 (Non-explicity)
  • Horror Level: Level 1 (It's horror but not scary)
  • Angst Level: Level 1.5. (There's drama, but not tear-jerking drama)

This is really Great novel so far! It's not like what I hope which is a bit disappointment exist, but it gives a lots of Great and Unique moments! And it was Pleasant things so far! So it still hooked me.

So far all the arcs are great! The 1st has 30 chapters, while the 2nd and 3rd world has shorter chapters. BUT everything is Good and not rush nor slow! I think the 4th arc feel a LITTLE bit longer, even though so far it's maybe only has 30 chapters... more>> (the arc not ended yet but is very near) because the translator cut 1 chapter into 2 part. But it wasn't bad plot, and even the author admit the story was longer than they expected.

Anyway, it's great novel! The 1st arc is very nice fluff, if you ignore the Horror moments. The 2nd and 3rd arc was Unique!
Spoiler

The 2nd arc, MC was very confused with who is his Lover and then later he thought he kill his lover. Poor him was shocked and blanked/in Coma for years. Though it was Skipped. And it has HE, so don't worry.

While the 3rd arc, His Lover basically EVERYWHERE and Almost EVERYONE. MC is Super Confused. When he discover how this happen, Everyone was killing each other because they Love MC and want MC to chose them, but their death break MC's heart multiple times. MC almost has breakdown, but they stop when MC ask them to stop. It has HE too.

[collapse]

While about the other Reincarnators/Transmigator... Well....
Spoiler

The System/Lord God they work under with is not a good kind. Taking Energy? Sure, this happen in many other QT novel. But those people is allowed to kill 'NPC' and even would get point by Killing them!!!

[collapse]

Anwyay, go try read this Novel! It's Enjoyable, has Great Translator, and I really Love the MC and ML's relationship in each world so far! <<less

I don't read the extras, but this story is quite satisfactory. The MC is a good person with a good head on his shoulder, though occasionally cold, he never went out of the way just to hurt someone. The ML is quite nice to, even if he's a lil bit yandereish

This story is my popcorn entertainment story. It’s not the best written in the world, and the arc endings are, to put it mildly, weak, but the author shines when it comes to concepts. Every world has an original twist, and as a concepts person myself, I can’t get enough. Unlike some stories where I can barely continue to read because the world building is good, but I can’t stand the characters, the characters here are likable enough for me to keep going, even if the MC and ML don’t... more>> particularly stand out in a memorable way. I can’t wait to keep reading and find out what kind of world the author creates next. <<less

Moderately sweet, moderately scary, moderately effective, moderately romantic, moderately sympathetic, moderately dogs blood. The author has created a wonderful story! It is very easy to read. But what pleases me most after all the template transmigrations - new worlds, new events, not patterns!
Special thanks to the translators for this treasure found and its translation!

PS. Sorry, еnglish is not my native language

Thought that this one is d same as other world hopping novels but the author gave much thoughts for the uniqueness of plot.?

There are several plot holes (as stated by others). Wish the story could be improved. Over all this novel is entertaining

As stated the MC role is npc. I love his interaction with ML and also his double standards ? For ML the things that are evil becomes okay (closes his eyes). The MC is a good person but he'll ignore ur sufferings (since it's d consequence of ur... more>> actions).

Probably, what disappointed me is the MC character. He seems apathetic to other and is focused only to ML

Personal progress (tracker)

Cutest male yandere ML I've ever read. The cold little dumpling MC is smart and has good morals, he deserves the best...I hope the ML treats him well in the future! My best wishes to the couple. ^_^

Although I'm not done yet reading this novel (and honestly don't think I will ever be if the translators won't pick it up again, since I don't do well with MTLs), I have to say that the novel was really entertaining to read if you have nothing to do and just want to pass the time.

My favorite arc was probably the 1st one, although it's probably gonna change once all the chapters have been translated. There were a few instances though in the arcs where I got a little bit... more>> uncomfortable with how the ML showed little to no reaction with how they were called "she" and now "he".

Other than that, it's a pretty good read but since I haven't finished the novel, I will leave my rating as 4 stars. <<less

I really like this one. I think this is the one that got me started on the transmigration-bl-horror genre, which I really like and there aren't enough of.

I will say my least favorite arc is:
Spoiler

The Cthulu one, which even the author themselves says it's ok to skip. I just don't like that level of misunderstanding >.> It also had a really rushed ending after much trauma which meh. I read it properly the first time, but on every re-read I skip it.

[collapse]

The arc right after that one:

Spoiler

I have mixed minds about. Zhou Yu still has some trauma from the last one, so throwing him a curveball in that his lover is not who he thinks it is is a little upsetting. But it is interesting too, so... I guess overall this is the arc I like second least. I tend to skim through it on rereads.

[collapse]

For anyone else also skipping those two arcs, introduction to arc 4 is at the end of ch 63 and starts at ch64.

The Little Theater at the end of chapters can be funny, but I tend to ignore it as I'm more focused on reading the actual story xD Also, I did get confused with it at some point ^^;;

And, there is absolutely no doubt that the ML is a true yandere. But a doting one. I would say hiding your kills or promising not to kill and then doing so behind the mc's back if "they were going to hurt him" is definitely leaning in that direction.

Completely happy (and somewhat boring) novel! I like the first (school) instance the most, and then the rest are just mid tbh.

It's not bad! I still enjoyed and finished it, I just think the romance (in other instances) are kind of sub. It's boring. You can expect them to just fall in love with each other and have happily ever after over and over again. But it's still fine and 'good' ig? The plot is still kind of ok, but sometimes its barely clinging on (the hell bus arc).

I'm glad... more>> it didn't drag on for longer than it did -- because by the end of it (it should've ended in the interstellar sanitarium arc) I was frustrated with the novel.

I think it's good for a good time, but quit when you want and no need to bother so much about how it ends/the plot. Comparing it to other novel - this one is quite simple, but it delivers the bare essence. If you're craving unlimited flow bl - you can still give it a go <<less

3/5 for the Story 3/5 for the Entertaintment. I'm dropping it by the 3rd Arc. It's just not what I'm in the mood for right now. Arc 1 was alright but Arc 2 was just meh.
