Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.It started off peculiarly; first, his domestic cat refused to let him cuddle it.
Lin Qiushi soon found that a sense of disharmony and incongruity began to pervade everything around him.
Then, one odd day, he pushed open a door, and he discovered that the hallway he was familiar with turned into a boundless corridor.
At both ends of this corridor were twelve, identical iron gates.
He pushed one of the doors
Thus, the story begins.
Ruan Nanzhu said to Lin Qiushi, “When you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss will also gaze back into you.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiushi sank into deep contemplation. He then pulled down the zipper of his trousers and aimed at the abyss…
Ruan Nanzhu: “…Put your pants on properly!”
Super shameless, ill-pampered gong X Shameless, calm shou; a combination of double [or extreme] shamelessness.

Regardless of the situation, the MC is very calm and can adapt well. For a first timer in entering the door, he is regarded as special. Because those who would enter the door for the first time, would have a major breakdown and would cry. They won't accept the reality of entering the door. The MC, however did not even cry but was very calm. Also, in a group of desperate people, he was the most selfless. So ML, who already entered several doors became interested in him. Also, the MC has good hearing ability which is very useful and he is also intelligent.
its literally the most terrifying door, with all the monsters of the previous doors coming back together
rnz went through hundreds of doors, he had a LOT of monsters after his ass. LQS wasnt sure if he would make it, and he wanted to die together with him
What I especially liked about this novel is the sheer realness of it. There is no fabrication of anything whatsoever. There is no OP ML who is hard as steel and can solve everything with just a snap of his fingers. There is no meek MC who can't even make decisions for himself. There are no "friends" that are just there for decoration. Everything is so real. If this world truly had "doors" like in the novel, the story told by the author is really something that would happen in the real world. The friendship, romance, fragility of human life, terror before death, revenge, conspiracy and basically everything has a touch of realism. Compared to so many other popular BL novels, this is superior not only due to the story but due to its characters who are so life-like. Both the main characters have real personalities. They really feel like humans in every way. Also, when the word "friends" is used in other Chinese novels, I never felt like lead characters were friends with the said person. This seems to happen in many Chinese novels. I know why this happens. Its because Chinese authors love to make at least one of the main characters extremely possessive to the point that they really don't let the other party be friends with anyone. And even if there really are friends, the so-called friends are just side characters that are used to showcase how strong the lead characters are. Or they are simply lackeys who are given the title "friends". This is the thing that doesn't happen in "Kaleidoscope of Death". I mean just think about it. Even our sweet sweet Lan Zhan was dead jealous of a dead man. Seriously what can one expect? I had long lost hope on some genuine depictions of friendship in Chinese novels because even just a more normal human interaction was hard to find. However, I finally found one. Healthy Relationship
Another thing I really liked about KoD is definitely the romance. The novel doesn't follow the usual route of other BL novels but depicts the relationship that is well-suited to the novel's setting as well as the personal characteristics of MC and ML. And their relationship is also extremely realistic. It really feels like a romance of two real people who are in a new world where they can die at any moment. Their worries, insecurities, and even the way of flirting just feel like something normal people would do/have. Cross-dressing ML
No, I think the best thing of this novel is cross-dressing ML. Man, when he cross-dresses, he becomes an entirely different person. He gets into the role of drama-queen so quickly; it's hilarious! Definitely one of the most memorable MLs ever! On a side note, MC also cross dresses. What a perfect pair! Good Plot
Although I wouldn't say the arcs were as good as "The Earth is Online' and "Supernatural Movie Actor App", they are still nice. I would say the world building is super well-done. The last arc is definitely the best one and I personally think the ending is perfect. I am not talking about the extras. The story is really good not only because of good arcs but because of real ups and downs MC, ML and their group went through. You know, in many Chinese novels with horror theme, you don't get the thrill. You just feel like MC and ML and their group of friends are invincible, right? You never feel the threat of death looming just behind them. But KoD has it. I was scared so many times, not because of the ghosts but because of the situations. The things that usually don't happen in many other similar novels happen here. This also added substantiality to the story. CONS St*pid Plot Twist
I really didn't like the plot twist in the extras. First of all, why put the plot twist in the extras? And then what the hell was that plot twist? I swear I have never read such a s*upid plot twist. Why would I call it s*upid? Because there was not much hint leading to that plot twist. It was just bomb the author dropped at us. And that was also in the f*cking extra chapters!!! Well, if there were some hints the author had scattered around in the story, the twist wouldn't have felt so unnatural. Although it didn't affect the storyline in any way, it still left a bad taste in my mouth. The plot twist wasn't unreadable though. It was just unnecessary. Extras
Oh I don't like other things in the extras as well mainly because in the extras MC and ML become the typical couple in every BL ever. You know the type where they totally disregard their friends and family and only shove dog food in everyone's mouth, but in a cringey way. I was so happy throughout the novel that their relationship with their friends was so solid. But it crumbled in the extras. Argh I wish I never read the extras. Most of the other extras are sad as well. CONCLUSION
You should totally read this awesome story. Just avoid the extras if you could. But may be you would like it. Who knows.
