Thriller Trainee

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

The washed-up magician Zong Jiu transmigrated into a horror, infinite flow novel about a survival show, taking the place of the cannon fodder who died tragically in the first evaluation round. This show was very interesting. Out of the tens of thousands of people, only a hundred people could survive, and the c-position (strongest contender) could even get a universal wish ticket.

If it were someone else, they’d probably be scared to death.

No one expected that Zong Jiu was not only unafraid, but also caused a sensational stir, shamelessly showing off his tricks the whole way.

Once his tricks stopped, and his life could be considered safe and sound, he ended up in a rivalry with the novel’s big villain.

Today you try to get at me, tomorrow I’ll get you back, back and forth, it’s pretty fun, heh.

As a result, though it was just playing around, one time they got carried away and really did end up sleeping together. Watching the nemesis who was pressing him to the ground, Zong Jiu lazily lifted his gaze. “If you want to kill me then kill me, don’t speak nonsense.” Even when at a disadvantage, he showed no trace of fear, and actually continued to provoke him.

That person used his ice-cold finger to trace his ear, and the action heading toward the aorta suddenly stopped.

“What a pity. I’ve changed my mind.”

He was once very willing to personally give Zong Jiu death. Every day, he used to regret not gouging out his flesh, personally snapping his neck. But after this person fell into his hands, another, more urgent desire grew like weeds.

Compared to winning or losing, he would rather see him crying and panting, with eyes red, begging for mercy.

Great novel, just as I expected from the reviews. It's one of the rare novels where MC in not extremely OP (still strong), he's cool, intelligent, confident, and It makes sense why he is the way he is. Both MC and ML are a bit insane, also from the beginning there is some s*xual tension between them and It just keeps increasing lol. This is really worth the time. MC is bottom and ML top btw, also this doesn't get super explicit but some scenes are HOT (not now but... more>> in the future chapters). The instance with the animals is actually a bit scary and horror never scares me. <<less

The most satisfying ending I have ever read..

It is very well done, from beginning to end. I really like the dynamic between the MC and ML... All characters are likeable as well as the npc's...

The instances were also interesting and very clever. I miss the sub system though..

You could also take a glimpse for those "ifs" question..😀 You'll know what I mean if you read this...

Have fun, !

Pros :

The enemy to lovers trope is truly something else. The tension between MC and ML *chef kiss*. The MC is a magician, my boi got brains and managed to make the best out of a situation. The ML is sooo freaking charming w his demeanor. The MC and ML don't change much after they got together; in some cases, the ML just changed to a totally different person. But not in this novel, the ML stay true to his character setting.

The arcs are very interesting. The school arc is... more>> superb, kinda reminds me of real life. The carzy circus arc is deeply disturbing, it kinda made me want to go vegan.

The side characters are well developed. My god, finally a novel where they do their side characters justice. The story got more ligh hearted towards the end.

The end and extra are very satisfying. Easily one of my top BL horror fav.

Cons :

Can't think of one. It's a fun read, every single chapter is a treat. <<less

The essence of the book details how two distinct individuals clash and burn together, but somehow managing to co-exist and even learning how to love each other in the end. The relationship between the MC and ML is very very delicious and engaging, and I like that both characters are independent and can carry their own weight.

The ML also has a clear and satisfying character development (much more than the MC in my personal opinion), and I absolutely adore how much he has grown. Chef's kiss, he's legitimately one of... more>> the best written characters I have seen.

Spoiler

The ML is originally introduced as a psychopathic puppeteer who wants to kill the MC (as they were prophesized to be arch-enemies). This later transformed into the desire to control the MC. Then, the ML had his s*xual awakening and wanted to -ahem- mate with him, before finally (finally!) truly loving him.

"He knew that if you desired to obtain something, you first have to give it freedom. Only if it returns to your side, then it belongs to you forever."

Just- bro... my heart...

The couple never once declared their love outright, but their little actions and interactions clearly show how much they love each other. The ML basically flaunts his relationship status and marriage ring at the end of the story, it's immensely cute.

[collapse]

The arcs are okay-ish overall, though one of them actually lost my interest and I had to push through to finish that arc:

Spoiler

It's the school arc; the main theme of it is that if you score badly, you'll die a gruesome death. I heard many reviews saying that they liked it but I just feel that it's too draggy and that I was robbed of a proper supernatural school arc.

[collapse]

Objectively, I'll say that the plot probably isn't the strongest suit of the story. The entire story really isn't scary as well, even though it's tagged as horror. Unfortunately, there are also quite a bit of iffy parts too which weren't well-developed:

Spoiler
  • For example, why and how did the MC even transmigrate
  • The significance between a higher and lower dimension
  • Or even the new world the the MC transmigrated into
  • In fact you would also think that the people in the livestream shouldn't be that flippant about the entire thing since they were pulled into the Unlimited Flow world and knows how terrifying it is to be in an instance (Why are they even treating this as entertainment?)
  • The MC's backstory in the original world isn't really that tragic or unique to warrant additional interest as seen in the novel.
[collapse]

To sum up, this book is one of the more unique ones that I've read, considering it attempts to merge the Unlimited Flow genre and Transmigration genre together. I never knew how much I like the "enemies to lovers" trope until I stumbled upon this treasure. The way the MC and ML continuously pit against each other forms a solid backbone for this story and provides endless amus**ent for us. Do give it a shot, I believe that this is a decent read. <<less

So good!! MC is a classic badass-smart-opportunistic character but the author managed to pull it off well without making him looked too OP. Anyway so far the dynamic between him and ML still exudes "we are destined to be enemy" and looking forward for the future development!! Also side characters aren't there just for hyping up things, and they actually have distinct characteristics. So yeah, read it!!

This novel is a very good read. I don't read mtl novels very often, so it's a little hard for me to understand.

MC is a famous and amazing magician, but he got into a car accident thus he injured his hands. Then he transmigrated into a novel, Thriller Trainee.

About ML, he is the flirtatious type, tbh he's really op xD. I won't spoil anything more about ML otherwise it won't be fun.

Some of my favorite arc:

... more>>
Spoiler

Crazy Circus. In this copy, animals and human's position are reversed. There's also a special prop from the system, which makes it more interesting.

Judgement Day. It's a copy about ML's past, it's also how ML got into the infinite loop thing.

[collapse]

Spoiler about Zhuge An:
Spoiler

There's also a plot twist about Zhuge An. He's one of my characters that I liked beside MC and ML. He proclaimed himself as Guiguzi's disciple, but who thought that he's that Guiguzi himself lol.

The mystery was neat, and the world building and touch of horror elements that showed the author clearly spent time researching to write the novel (note this is horror elements and not actual horror) were excellent. However, I personally didn't get the build up of romance between the MC and ML, it felt like they had no chemistry but somehow because they were the most outstanding characters, they just "naturally" ended up with each other. Maybe if the power dynamic was more equal from the start, or if the MC... more>> seemed like he was interested in romance at all? It just felt OOC for the MC to fall in love because he was such an apathetic and cynical character.

Some other things I had noticed were the overly long praise of the MC's beauty and my slight pet peeve that although the MC was strong and independent, a lot of his golden fingers/wins felt forced. Throughout the novel there was a sense that the MC is supposed to be OP based on his own skill and that he was "the chosen one", but time and time again it felt like it was because he was being helped by the ML or Zhuge An or some convenient plot armor that allowed his plans to almost magically work.

Overall, still a great infinite flow novel and would recommend reading it. <<less

This book is so amazing, be it the characters or story line, it gives off a unique vibe.

If you are okay with slightly morally ambiguous characters and are a sucker for thriller then no need to think too much, just dive in!

I finished the novel after a few months, I MTL-ed it. It was bareable so I managed to finish it. English is not my first language so excuse my grammar.

Okay, this has become one of my favorite infinite flow novels of all time. First of all, I'm a big fan of the enemies to lovers trope and this one just hits the spot so right. Like the way they still had that vibes even when they got together felt satisfying for me. I really love how there wasn't any unnecessary... more>> conflicts. They became mortal enemies because they're destined to become one.

I also just want to say how I adore Zong Jiu so much. The way he was so smart and how do I describe it, he's crafty. Although cold and indifferent characters are common in danmeis and other novels, I think this type of personality fits Zong Jiu a lot and he did have a reason for it. The little details. Also I love how no matter what he says, there's still a lot of people who follows him. Like it was so natural for them to believe in him and I find it amazing.

Spoiler

I just love how he always remember what the nun has told him. That he should respond to people's expectations instead since he finds it hard to understand people's emotion. And the way he always keep his promise. Bro, I feel so proud when he actually wished for everyone to be revived and have the rights to leave or stay in the infinite loop. I also love the side characters and how everytime something bad happens, whenever they see the magician, they always think that he can bring miracles. Tsukimichado is definitely one of my fave characters. He's a cinnamon roll lmao.

[collapse]

Also another thing, I love the male lead. I don't care, I love his personality so much. Spoilers for those who don't know who the ML is:

Spoiler

It's no.1

[collapse]

Spoiler

I love their dynamics so much. I also love how possessive no.1 is, he's just too flirty and possessive that I find it funny at times. I also absolutely love the fact that they both don't really know how to love someone but they gradually learned how because of each other. It's beautiful.

[collapse]

I really just love this novel. There was parts that made me cry, laugh, and surprised me. All the instances were amazing for me and even the other events. I just finished it and I already miss it. I just felt proud of them.

Spoiler

I also adore Zhuge An's character. I find his past so sad honestly. He's actually a good person. I also suspected him to be the antagonist at first but no. He's really just a good person who wants to keep his promise.

[collapse]

Also, I super love the ending. The author really loves time travellings and parallel worlds. It just mindblowns me everytime. If you want to read this then this is your sign! I'll definitely miss this and I'll probably reread this novel after the translation is completed. <<less

Really enjoyed this story. I like the writing style and I love the characters. There are times when I shed some tears.

I like MC and ML. When they say it's enemies to lovers, they really meant enemies. Both of them found the other person interesting but kinda want to end them. Love all the trouble they cause for the other person.

Didn't expect that I'd finish this story. Honestly, I wasn't expecting it to be this great. Love everything, love the ending, especially love the parallel world extras.

... more>>
Spoiler

I really liked the chemistry between MC and ML like it's very unique and completely refreshed my understanding of Enemies to Lovers.

I love how subtle they were about their attraction to each other. The romance was very slow though and it was only near the end that they got together.

Also, the Yaoi tag is there for a reason hehehe

[collapse]

I'm so glad I read this novel without reading the reviews and spoilers. It was such a fun ride that it made me feel even more like a single dog from all the fluff and dog food.

Spoiler

I also like the scenes with Xu Su and Xu Sen. Made me cry on the scene with the book and the letter, and then their reunion.

It made me kinda hate Zhuge An there but Zhuge An can be considered the MVP in this book. (He's Guiguzi)

He was the true Savior in a sense. Like, decades of planning and hard work paid off and they truly got off the infinite loop because of his efforts.

Maybe there was a mistake when others considered ML the Savior but made him the Great Devil instead. But all's well that ends well and the ending was very satisfactory.

The tension was LITERALLY made in heaven. I actually read this a while back but reread this. This made me shed tears. This was really great, really satisfied. Almost everybody was memorable.

I will FOREVER remember you index 15 and index 99. I thought Zhuge An was not good but no he was quite a good person.

Alert. English is not my first language.

I haven't finished yet of reading this story and probably I never will. I'm on the "Judgement Day" arc and I really lost the interest of finish the novel. Probably because I can't understand MTL versión and I can't found more energy to continue reading even with the promise of romance.

Still I really recomend this book. The first 130 chapters are awesome. At the beginning the horror isn't much but later it increase. Instances don't look dangerous but they have their own horrorific plot.

Zong... more>> Jiu (MC) isn't a good person neither he isn't a bad person he's just apathetic. As someone can't fell much emotions getting in a survival show is an experience. He can find entertainment in an infinity flow sistem were he don't need to hide himself. Being smart he show others why once in his own world he was a magician while is returning to his ancient glory. Along the way he calls ML attention.

Spoiler

At the beginnig I thought Zhuge An was ML and later when I understand I was wrong my heart got broken. I really love him.

Probably one of the reasons I can't continue reading.

No. 1 (real ML) is the stronger one. Smart, sadic, cold, famous, handsome and... just the devil. Even so Zhuge An stole my heart.

[collapse]

In my opinion the best arc of the ones I have read was "First High School" wich is just like it sounds. A school instance. They don't really have to fight but still many people die. It's an instance with too much psychological pressure, weird NPCs, blody plot, and characters you get to like.

Whit all said I really recomend this novel. Is good even if I didn't finish it. I can't talk about the rest chapters but the part I have read is just exciting. <<less

Easily became one of my all-time favorite novels. The TENSION was so good, if you liked QQGK, you'll like this novel too (but it's more mu*der-y). The MC reminded me of the MC from QQGK in that they're both slightly stoic, seem to not care about other people (but actually do), and are extremely clever. Usually infinite flow horror is a little more difficult for me to read because it's a little hard to visualize things sometimes, but this one was really, really good.

Also can we talk about how cool... more>> the MC is? A magician trying to fix his hands so he can keep performing? Wild! <<less

i MTLed to finish this and gotta say, I loved it! I'm a sucker for a beautiful strong MC and the MC's and ML's relationship was really entertaining!

i liked the ending too. The choice the MC made as well as the aftermath, this would be one of my favs~

just one question for the other readers who finished this (this could be considered spoiler I guess?)
