Kaleidoscope of Death

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.

I come for the romance, so I like this novel, the horror scene is also good, and the plot twist at the end, the how the author didn't forget about the side character and give them at the extra chapters... For me, this novel is really good, yall should read this

I really liked the story. But then came the ending. It wasn't really bad? I guess? It was more like you're anticipating something more; like trying out a new dish, only to become confused and say, "that's it?"

I wanted something more. The last door really felt like it was lacking something. Agh. Sorry. It seems that I'm not able to form structured thoughts today. No conjunctions for me today. Haha. It feels disjointed, doesn't it.

BUT- in conclusion, read it. Read the full story, even the extras.

And quite honestly, I did not feel even an ounce of irritation when I read about the male lead's play acting in the extras, like c'mon, we've all already read about his shenanigans inside the preceding doors and this doesn't even start to compare to that.¯_ (ツ) _/¯

First of all, I have finished reading it last month, but am only writing a review now as I am not in stable condition after reading this. I really love this novel, from the plot to the characters I love them all. Love story is also not sickening. I'm not ready to read it a second time because there are characters that I really love. I wish Cheng Qianli could live in the universe of New Times New Hell novel

Rating: 4/5- Okay so in my opinion I do feel this novel is slightly overrated but it’s a nice read, if you overlook the ending and that horrendous extra chapter.

So what I liked about this was the characters and how well written they were, even side characters and also the concept of the doors giving you a chance at rebirth.

What I disliked: what the hell was that extra that ruined this book. Even the 11th door was slightly underwhelming with this build up to what exactly? I never really felt... more>> satisfied when I finished the book.

I must say it’s well written, but it’s not a masterpiece like many people say. And mostly because what’s a really incredible premise has a rather convoluted ending.

Don’t read the extras in my opinion. <<less

Wowwwwww, that was just so lovely! Love novels that have their ending connect back to the beginning of the story, just like an infinite loop! Okay, as for the review of this novel - first thing is that the survival games are amazing, although some of them are super gorey (dunno if this is a word), well I meant how the author described the monsters, environment, and the concept behind the survival games were very very gorey and scary, like I actually had to go a few days without eating... more>> meat, ah man - so don't read while eating and at 3-5 am in the morning!

The interaction between ML and MC was sweet but comedic - love a dense MC and super flirtatious ML. But when they got together, it was just plain dog food - good stuff even if you're single. You'll also love the other characters, especially the twins. Ah, right, you'll need some tissues tooo.

Some people said that the arc for the last door was badly written, but it actually isn't - although it's not a door to a horror survival game like how the other eleven are, but there's a reason for that; reading that last door was very enjoyable! Do read this - it's super gooooood!!! <<less

It's an amazing horror comedy!

The romance is tiny bit disappointing but that's my problem for being a romantic ;)

I still didn't finish it but from what read so far it's pretty good book that you should check out if your into horror but still want to laugh and be entertained

anyway I will give this a 444/10!! &Gt;:D

When LQ thought RN died, he became so hot. Choke me, daddy!

[collapse]

Anyway, I love the story. I stayed up late because I was too scared to sleep. But I couldn't stop reading, hahaha.

I love the main couple's story, how they found redemption with each other. They complement each other so well.

Spoiler

the twin's story made me cry and saddened me so much. CY was selfish in his decision, truth. But I think, if CQ knew, he would still follow his brother.

[collapse]

Spoiler

TZ was also sad. Her death was amazing. Life and death on a stage, shining like a bright star.

[collapse]

Spoiler

In some way, the pain is alleviated because, within the door, the dead still live

[collapse]

In the last chapter of the main story, I had to wrap my head around it, hahaha.

I would give this 6/5 if I could. It's been such a long time since I've read a horror that can actually make me feel scared. Here, each world is unique and revolves around a historical or mythical theme from which the horror narrative is built. Also, the feeling of horror is different. There is the gory body horror of the sister drum and the slow, creeping horror of the haunted painting.

MC and ML are a wonderful pair as well. I absolutely adore that ML is a ... more>>

crossdresser and also exudes top energy lol.

Because they have to survive in each world, the relationship development is literally between life and death. I would seriously buy the book if not for the censorship.

Even without the BL, the horror is topnotch. With it is just adding another delicious cake on top of the already divine cake. This is now one of my favourite novels to read. <<less

I freaking accidentally erased all that I have written agadhshsgsjgdk

Anyway, I really don't usually read horror. Not because I am timid but I rarely see any horror novel worth it to read. But this novel is definitely very worth it!

About MC and ML -

... more>>
Spoiler

That first extra is soooooo sweet 😭😭😭❤❤❤ I hate fake memories but this extra... dang. This is just a perfect one. MC lacks nothing but romance, in which he obviously doesn't show interest much. So, ML is perfect for him! Even if those memories is due to the twelfth door, but for MC everything that happened in that illusory world is real! This. Is. Not. Lie! This shows that ML is fated to be with MC!

[collapse]

Actually, at first -

Spoiler

I thought that it would be MC who is the 'abnormal' one because of his behavior. I thought he is related to the door because he seems to be lucky and that his head was once hit, which led me to think MC has an amnesia (which he really has, but for a different reason). He also seems to be caln and easily adapts to any situation... it is actually because he is a veteran door-crosser! He is even the only one to reach that door! But, the tags really misled me more, on ML's side, too. I really thought that there was a dramatic background story about ML's cross-dressing. And it was because I saw a promotional vid for the novel's audio drama before, which I nisled myself more. *sigh the plot twist of the first extra though. Really UNEXPECTED+

[collapse]

Anyway, MC and ML aside, about the twins, I also feel sad but at the same time happy about them.

Spoiler

Yes. The eleventh world is ab illusory world and Qianli... wuwuwuwu he won't be coming back. But for Yixie (I still was dumbfounded for what he did dang), even if it is an illusion of Qianli, I think he still feel very happy for it since he can still 'see' his brother. But I think at night, the souls of the dead ones would regain their memories, so Qianli will also return? But the ghosts, as well as those people Yixie killed before though... I also feel sad thst Yixie chose the illusory world, but as someone said, it is also considered to be happy ending for him since he himself is happy hey.

[collapse]

For the other ones -

Spoiler

I was irked with that Li Dog something... I know that it was one of his methods to investigate but hey, he said he likes Zhu Meng but still moved against Zhu Meng's 'friend' (MC). I see no sincerity from you. If you truly like someone, you wouldn't resort to this method. Instead, you should show to them your efforts. Tsk.

[collapse]

Finally, plot-wise, character-wise, etc. 10/10. Comedy is a beautiful bonus! Even though I like Fantasy Farm and Perfect Destiny (the author's other works) but I have no bias here in this review. So, you should definitely read this novel!

P.S.: the translation is also already completed, so what are you waiting for? 🤣😘 <<less

5/5 stars *idk why it doesn't show on here*
This is one of the novel that'll give you the thrills and horrors that you've been craving for at the most random times (like me) WITH our main dish, BL, involved.

This novel has

•amazing plot

•arcs that can never go wrong

•amazing comedy on the side

•thrillers and suspenses

•horrors and gores

•mysteries

•intellectual MC & ML (not OP)

•romance

•wonderful touch of realism and no shenanigans that makes you question the plot or characters

I also got scared while reading this novel tbh. Like I stayed up until 6am few times until I can hear one of my family is awake then I can sleep (T-T) or I need some video on my laptop to play before I read, cuz I'm usually alone at home. Anyways give this novel a chance to read and you won't regret it! I never knew I even missed this and thank god I came and read it!!
*side note: I heard that most of the author ghosts arcs and stuff are based on real life or myths and stuff. And some that I never knew exist until I read it! Spooked me even more when I knew that fact*

This novel is really amazing. At first I was bit hesitant due to some reviews but I am really glad that I gave it a try. The storyline is very interesting and I got really hooked up. One thing I really like there is no much of angst between main leads. I was reading this novel at night and when got upto go out I was a bit scared to open my door. There are lots of funny moments also. So try not to decide based on reviews to give... more>> this novel a chance <<less

One of the few novels I MTL'ed before it finished. The cross dressing ML is one of the best points in the story, it was funny and entertaining to see the MC get dragged into it too. The gore was more prominent than other infinite flow novels I've read but it wasn't too bad. The plot twist was everything.

satisfying survival game! I enjoy it. It's about a misterious door suddenly pop up and get you to another scary dimension.. By the time everyone knows it is the chance for dying people to survive, but it can be the death it self if you can't survive in the door world. Some Gore, some scary, and some sad and tragic enough to cry. MC quite lucky to meet the drag queen ML on his first door. And then together they enter the door one by one until their 11th door.... more>> If you read the extras, there's the plot twist of the story.. Thats it. <<less

I highly recommend this. Most thrilling read, will definitely excite you (that too if you are reading this in the middle of the night by your lonesome self like say 3). Of course there are some drags but there are a lot of pros to subvert it. Example ML and MC are not 2D (YAY!!) both have good characterization. The Extra will do you in! A little warning explicit gore but you should be able to get over it

This was one of the most thrilling and enthralling books I've read in a long, long time! I understand the things that turned other reviewers off though- some areas that didn't make sense, certain areas of the plot that were just to move the story but felt either forced or rushed. And I didn't care for half of the extras. Regardless, this is a page-turner and I was glued. Not the genre I typically search for, but highly recommend!

Not a full 5/5 actually, but around 4.7/5

Default description of the novel is too abstract,

yes those are parts of the story, but you can't just believe those words unilaterally for if you did, you would miss this gold. A horror without many hidden pits in each instance.

... more>> This novel will require you to use quite sum of brain cells if you want to engage actively with the plot, but believe me... it won't trip you so bad. Because most of the NPCs "gave" proper hints and act accordingly.

The main CP is very hilarious, it kept the story fun and all; but there are also moments where you want to smack them flat on their face.

The plot twist is really unexpected, but there are some vague hints... but still there are some incongruity points here and there, even after all of it was explained. One of them was the meeting of CY and RNZ; better read it yourself.

Spoiler

After it was revealed that RNZ took a part of LQS memory and identity and the latter 'got it back', all people will recognize that it was LQS instead of RNZ inside their memory, but in the after story in CY case, he still remembered that it was RNZ whom he met inside the doors... but as one who has finished reading the main story, you will more or less understood that the whole story happened in LQS 12th door, and there's no person named RNZ at all.

[collapse]

The finishing touch is... well, although it cannot be considered as happy end for all (the most bestest end) it still counts as what's best for them <<less
