The greatest part of the novel is the MC's character development. The feeling of being close to happiness you can't get back and people you can't get close to was very profound. Other than that, I regret reading this novel as the ending gives almost no payoff.
Spoiler

Ending is the trope where everyone (and I mean everyone) loses their memories. The ending/final battle also feels extremely rushed. The extras don't make it better for me, it feels cheap reading about characters who aren't the ones you knew since they lost all their memories.

[collapse]

I also feel like everyone not the MC with huge potential for character development got ignored. The second half of the novel focuses almost exclusively on MC.

Spoiler

Ying and Nie Cuo's past could have been more thoroughly explained. Duan Li's facial disfigurement was also never explained aside from saying he must have gotten it in the real world. Fen YuLan had the potential to be an OP mage, it was even mentioned by Shadow that he has lots of talent.

[collapse]

Also the novel patches up most of its plot holes but there are still a lot of questions unanswered.
Spoiler

Nie Cuo's power was very hyped when it was revealed he was the one who defeated Xing Yan's original team. But after it got revealed, it's never mentioned how Abyss!LJ beats him (and stalker!Xing Yan) half to death in the final battle.

[collapse]

tldr: EIC has good and bad parts, but I don't recommend reading if you don't like timeline reset endings.

I was on the fence about whether to read this or not because of the other reviews but I gave it a try and damn I really like it. Especially the protagonist, at first I thought he was an ordinary naive character and I couldn't find anything unique about him but his character development was great! I really liked it.

A lot of people showed hate towards the side couple and yes, I admit at first I was rather disturbed by it, but it's unique. Later on as well, the author... more>> shows how toxic this relationship is but how sometimes you just can't help it.

The beginning of the novel is a bit bumpy but I swear it gets better. I was always looking forward to see the ML.

The ending was good, but it was rather sad for me cause I wanted to see the idea of the bottom being stronger than the top. (Can never find these kinds of stories, if you know any hit me up plz) That sort of plot happened in the story, and I relished it. Delicious. <<less

I could finally rant about this novel! This is originally a 3.5 but I rounded it down to a three since it’s not good enough to be a 4.

To cut it short, the plot was amazing, everything made so much sense, it was probably really hard to write, kudos to the author for that, I liked it.

Now, the plot is the good part of the novel but the bad part are the characters, the execution of the characters are horrendous and a mess. ‘’It’s just the characters though, you said... more>> the plot is good so why give it a 3?’’ you’ll see it when you get there. Characters play a big role in a novel— they are the ones who keep the plot moving.

The MC’s character was also a mess, it’s like the author was indecisive when writing him, one second he’s a fun guy who randomly teases his friends and the next second he’s a coward who’s done with life and the next second he’s an aloof, cool guy who has a cold aura, if the author was trying to give him this cool duality thing well... it’s horrible.

The other characters are almost the same too, the only character I liked was clown, ML, and Luo Feng, a few have consistent personalities and they can be counted with my hands, while the others...? not so much...

Oh and there’s a second couple. I’m down for second cps you see, every time I see a second cp somewhere, I immediately jump into the pit. I adore them that much.

The author can write anything she wants but this will always be my opinion.

The second couple here was also a MESS. VERY MESSED UP. I don’t think I can forgive Duan Li, he can never redeem himself, although I did feel touched when his first thought was to embrace An Lan when in danger BUT I do not think that the problem relies on Duan Li but rather the author’s weird fantasies.

An Lan is the supporting male lead and got absolutely abondoned,

Spoiler

what shadow? what split personality? what grimoire?

[collapse]

the author threw all those stuff away reducing him into a man who tolerates abuse, the author abondoned his character. I didn’t like his ending, he deserved a better ending, it’s too cruel, he was a character who played a big part in the plot and MC’ life only to end up like that ah...

Anyways, recommended if you like unlimited flow! I certainly enjoyed this despite the flaws since I was pretending to be blind and putting all disturbing information about the novel at the back of my head. <<less

My first warning is if you have claustrophobia, I recommend you to consider you mental stage before start this novel. Even if I don't have a problem with a narrow space. Some scene still make me feel uncomfortable.

I would call it a really bad early story. Too boring mysterious, A very ordinary protagonist and unreasonable chamber that make it look like our MC is smart but in fact... it's logic is strange and also unnecessary NSFW scene too. But just wait... wait untill you reached chap 60+ you'll start to... more>> get the feeling of riding on a rollercoaster and once you get to chap 108 (train arc) you will finally get the feeling of thrill lol

Middle part of story is kinda impressive but yeah...I give it 4 stars just for the middle part and timeline story. Overall is a bit boring with too much repeat sentence or how the author describe some scene too often. It make whole story unnecessarily long. And the romance of the story is also... strange. Some scene might make you feel uncomfortable. <<less

if you consider this to be a novel about a typical shounen protagonist growing from a weak nobody to a super OP god in order to save his friends then this is an ok horror mystery QT novel.

why?
Spoiler

I'm always a sucker for time travel f*ckery where there is no distinction between the past, present, and the future. Unfortunately, the author also uses this excuse to "whitewash" the messed up romance of the main CP; basically they've /always/ been "in love" with each other because the future was the past etc.

[collapse]

also the train arc was actually very memorable and for just that I give it a +1

please brainwash yourself to forget about the romance in this novel. Remember there is no romance in this novel. I can stomach a lot of things but this time even the large age-gaps and the whole grooming going on made me super uncomfortable. The secondary CP is just simply unfortunate.

The best choice I did in this boring life of mine is reading this. THIS HAS THE BEST PLOT LIKE WTF!!!! I LOVE THIS. Yes I was one of the people who were hesitant at first because of the r*peish thing but it ain't that THE STORY AIN'T THAT! Everything has reasons and this is not an all romance like damn I am so picky in terms of novels that I read and protagonist I like but this one is sooo great. I finished this in just less than two... more>> days, I'm THAT eager to read this and I did not regret any second of it. GOLD! ƪ (˘⌣˘) ʃ <<less

It's not perfect but I still gave it 5 cause there are too many low ratings that are really unfair. I've read the comments before reading this and it made me doubtful but I am so glad that I read it until the end. to be fair, here are some a bit spoilery things that u should know if you've read some of the reviews:
... more>>
Spoiler

1. The Main couple is in NO WAY boring, I've read a comment saying they were and I felt so bad while reading cause THEY WEREN'T!!
2. The second couple can be considered a toxic couple (w/c honestly, in the bl world, we usually see, but I think this was a bit worst, but u only have to get through their first meeting fr)
3. The MC changing personality or smthng like that, I mean, we all do that don't we? it's not like we only have one feeling, like we're afraid but we are also brave and the only difference is what we choose to show or project, and I honestly think there wasn't much inconsistencies tho
4. Paedophilia? I really don't see that huhuhu there was NO s*xual things done to a child, there are statements talking about paedophilia but c'mon they are being said by a character to their friend! they're obv just teasing the other! u don't have friend??? haahahahha

5. Also, u have to know that the people they are, were influenced by the things they have experienced which we have no way of knowing or even imagining so ofcourse they are not perfect and they are much more true to their primal desires lol

[collapse]

but if ur not really up to such complications, u don't HAVE to read this, I just really think that it'd be a waste to not try reading something because of other people's comments esp when there are good ones who have really finished the novel!!

Now for my own review:

Spoiler

Plot? - is alright, really have a good premise, but I hoped it was a bit more worldwide? like I know xing yan and duan li are strong but that was before, who are the leading players now? I guess people from the asura are stronger than ordinary players... nvm then HAHAHHAA I was gonna say that it happened for 100 yrs so it was weird that they were the strongest but then remembered that those people are the ones from asura HAHAHAH nvm again!

then I guess I would've liked it more if it was longer to build the character of abyss more, like know him more and how exactly he changed and idk I just felt it was a bit abrupt. I wanted to know more about his feelings I guess, even if they were depressing cause that what makes him more relatable or more understandable or close. I also really liked the first luo jian who was cute heehe but I also like abyss cause OP bch hahahaha I think the ending of main text could've been better. ALSO, I loved how the author put out many smexy scenes on the beginning arcs cause there are none in the mid and end lol, but it didn't make me feel unsatified, which was surprising loll.

I did almost drop this cause I DO like Feng YuLan, but that's only when he's alone or with Luo Jian, cause when he's with Duan Li he seems to turn s*upid and IDEK how he fell for him, Luo Jian literally said FYL was hetero lol, and if he was gonna fall in love with a person who saved him, Luo Jian is literally *there*, I mean, even his "HE" was not really that happy, I think he would've been more happy if he liked luo jian but never got to say it u know lol, the second couple was a real turn off, even with all that back story, it still is lol

but I am so so so glad that the main couple was not. Luo jian was so loveable whenever he just lets the stalker do whatever and even sometimes initiates it himself, u have to know, he literally started all of it loll, what a great story to tell ur kids, on the first day we met, he stabbed me AHAHHAHAAH still better than raping? what thinking AHHAHAHA at least Xing Yan helped him out in the end lol. I know their HE in the extra was satisfying but I wanted them to talk really with stalker xing yan huhu, so sad with their prev predicament. also with unstalker xing yan and abyss, ITS NOT PAEDOPHILIA CMON!! even XY didn't know what he was doing!!! he was too engrossed to LJ's soul that he didn't even really got to pay attention to the age huhuhu don't make this an issue!! I love them so much <3

Luo Feng/ Specter, I like him, I like how he suddenly have like comedy acts lol. he's always bullied cause he got no close combat fr hahahahha that's always the description for him when they're fighting HAHAHA Hong/Clown I can't believed I liked him more that Duan Li HAHAAHHA I really liked him, and even their 'relationship' Hong and luo feng are much betterand even cuter that our second couple lol. btw Hong ain't a paedophile HUHUHU he literally just liked cute things and abyss is so cute that he can't help but express it!! don't make it an issue!!! It was also shown in the extra how he also thinks girls' hands are cute!!!

Ying, , he was just disappointing lol, what he be letting abyss go first lol, he practically didn't do anything and just passed all the consequences to our poor Luo Jian.

btw it was sad that I couldn't read much more of abyss opness, esp when he's with his original team mates aww. I really hate ending who end up erasing the memories of everyone T_T what u guys be happy but we be remembering ur stories and be bittersweet for u guys? Forgetting is overused ToT

[collapse]

Reread?

if u can skip second couple's chapters LOL

Just started reading this and I already find it interesting. I cam to see the reviews and confirm if the ML is the mu*derer.

I don't understand why there are people saying that the MC is heterosexual? It was stated that the only sin/crime/wrong that he did in his life was to come out of the closet on his family. He also said that he only fell in love with straight guys.

Anyway, I'll be lookin forwar to the future chaps. I kind of hate that there's a r*pe scene in the... more>> future but I wont trust the reviews and continue to read. <<less

Loved it up until the ending. Felt like it fumbled there. A lot of exposition and not enough action. Also—

... more>>
Spoiler

The change in relationships at the end wasn’t satisfying to me. I would’ve preferred the friends to still be close and the romances to newly begin at the end rather than the romances taking center stage. I feel like this devalued the story that the author built and particularly the relationships between Luo Jian and Fei Yulan, and Luo Jian and Luo Feng. It was a bummer because basically up until those final chapters and the extras I really liked it.

It starts so good and promising. I liked the MC who seemed to be just a regular guy. The thriller, the game and the mystery, I was hooked. Then many supporting characters started to appear and all of them are annoying. Maybe not all, by mostly. Then all just became a mess. I lost my patience and stopped reading.

I just finished this and I'm just gonna release a very big sigh right now.

This novel was full of rollercoaster emotions, cliffhangers and plot twists. The horror elements made it really exciting, not one dull moment.

I certainly really love how it seemed all was lost but they made it at the end, were given another chance and were able to reconnect.

I certainly will be reading again.

I really enjoyed every single character in this series, the way it tackles the various types of relationships and developing them with the main cast while focusing on the cosmic horror is just absolutely divine. It’s a pretty long series, but the world building and the characterization was refreshing and heart warming despite how absolutely depressive and dark the action gets.

It's a mind straining novel. In the starting everything is normal like team game but halfway through only MC left. Half of the novel is MC's journey alone, so I didn't like it. I like team spirit or MC and ML fighting together not alone.

And at last all the characters forget everything. I feel unsatisfied with all the characters journey and their love life.

I love unlimited flow bl, but this one left me with mixed feelings. In general, it's a good novel, well written, solid plot and interesting characters. But there were some contrived angst, the plot was sometimes draggy, and there wasn't enough romance and fluff. The chambers toyed with and tortured all the characters in so many ways, it's heartbreaking to read about all their pain and suffering. At least they get a HE and author does a good job explaining all the mysteries about the chambers.

So many ppl complaining about... more>> the r*pe, non-con and pedophilia but frankly, it's a bit difficult to take those seriously in such a story. <<less

Look, I was quite interested in this - I love the thrills of an infinity flow novel like this and I got so intrigued by the time f*ckery....

I love the world-building, the horror, the gore, the mystery and I LOVE LUO FENG AND CLOWN

However I have to take off a whole star for Extra 4, it was unneeded and kinda upsetting, I always feel that Extras are supposed to make you feel better, like an extra little bit of happiness to add on to the end of the novel, but... more>> that one just made me feel like crap.

Things to warn about (Trigger Warning - mention of r*pe/non-con) :

Spoiler

There is r*pe and non-con between main CP and second CP. Honestly that almost made me take off another star however it was mentioned as a tag and so I'm not taking off a star because it's my own fault for not seeing that. Also a note on those r/nc situations - TOTALLY unneeded. They 'started' the relationships with those scenes and it was so offputting because it totally wasn't needed to start a dramatic/tragedy romance, they could have done without the glorification of r*pe. Those bastards never even apologised or recognised their actions were horrific. After writing this I think I should have rated it lower but too late now

I'll have to give it a 3 sadly enough although my real rating would be around 3.5.

The story started out great and it became even more interesting when it was nearing the end. However, it was a bit lacking when I finally reached the last 2 chapters as well as the extras.

The extras just made me feel sigh in disappointment instead. It could have been better 😮‍💨

I can see where this is going and I'm not here for it.

For starters, we go into this knowing nothing about the characters lives. We don't know who they are as people outside their relationship with each other, and that makes them pretty flat.

At the same time, too many plotlines get thrown out too quickly. That makes the pace erratic and leaves the text having little emotional resonance. The horror up to this point, is just gore. There's nothing to make you scared or tense.

But the line for me was... more>> when (TW + Spoiler)

Spoiler

The best-friend gets r*ped brutally by a character that I'm 99% sure will be touted as a love interest. The r*pe is violent and awful. I, along with most of the commenters on that arc, was appalled when the author not only showed signs of pushing for that ship, but also had the rapist force a bond onto the victim. I felt sick reading it and can't keep going.

[collapse]

So that final thing threw this book from something I'd read hoping it got better, to a 1 star 'never touch this again' read. Without that, it's still a 2-3 star read depending on whether the author got their sh*t together or not. <<less

My impression of “Escape the Infinite Chamber”...

Initially, I didn’t really like the story but by the midway point I was really interested in what was going on.

What I didn’t like:

... more>>
  • Character Presentation
The character’s personalities weren’t very well portrayed from the beginning... making it difficult to understand them as ‘people’ because their actions seemed to be all over the place.

  • Character Interactions
Since the author wasn’t very great at presenting these characters, their interactions feel really unnatural and odd... and since the first half of the story focuses very deeply on the characters the whole story feels funky.

By the time you reach the midway point of this story it becomes plot-driven and this is where the author really shines. The focus becomes less on the “forced-romance” aspect and more on the MC entirely. He becomes driven to solve his problems and improve himself for the sake of solving those problems. By the time the ending rolls around I really respected and liked Luo Jian.

[I should also mention that the horror aspect of this story mostly stems from the depictions of corpses specifically. It’s a reoccurring bit at the beginning and through the middle, but by the end its not prevalent. The r*pe portion of this story happens and is described but is also not detailed. I also ought to mention that it feels entirely unnecessary to the plot which makes me think the author just added it in as a weird personal touch or something.) <<less
