Description

Xiao Lan was a pauper who couldn’t do anything that required money.

On the road after work, he was engulfed by darkness and opened his eyes to a frightening and dangerous survival game.

The app that can’t be deleted; the people it locked on to were unable to escape except through death.

Ordinary players: Save me, I don’t want to die!!!

Xiao Lan: Sorry, the phone is too broken and it froze. Can you wait a little longer?

A hand reached out from inside an old-fashioned television; the people caught would enter its world.

Ordinary players: Ahhhhhhh! What to do?!

Xiao Lan: According to my many years of experience repairing old household appliances, it seems that this model can be opened like this…

Finally, the bosses gathered around Xiao Lan one day, prepared to deal with this (game) bug.

But they saw him roll up his sleeves and stride forward on long legs, and he beat up the bosses until they doubted their ghostly births.

Xiao Lan: Do you think an overtime worker’s night travels are for nothing?

Luo: Sir is always this cute.

Passer-by (shivering): Isn’t your definition of cute a little strange…

This turned out to be a well thought out backstory of an MC, one of my favourites. I definitely recommended.

I MTL'd this and still enjoyed it.

Did not finish it cause I think TL is not yet completed? I choose to cliffhang myself, at least I have a bit of control on where I want to stop HAHAHA

anww, this is good, it's action packed? Not much romance, pretty nice mysteries, but I just have to say thaaat the flow is not the best? Like every arc is too different? Altho it's nice, sometimes it's also kinda weird that like, I can't really tell what the Advent World is all about? Even after all those arcs I've... more>> read. Or maybe that's really the plot? That those are just different 'Games' so ofcourse you won't feel something consistent. Anw, I've always liked QT. Hope I can reread/finish this when it is completely TLed.

MC is unique, ML is even more unique. It's kinda weird that it's already been 138 chaps but I feel like I still know so little about them.
Spoiler

I just finished the part of their first kiss and I guess it was a satisfying part that I can happily pause this HAHAHA

A well-written infinite flow story. World building was solid. The comedy is gold. And while it's gory, it has that shounen-esque optimism to it. Which is just right for a faint hearted reader like I am.

... more>>
Spoiler

comedy sample: the MC discovered a door which made farting sound and played beatboxing with it. The neighbors weren't supportive of this particular endeavor, lol

[collapse]

The romance is not quite slow burn, but it burns gently. While the ML might have yandere tendencies, ultimately he showcased his love in the gentlest form. The MC and ML dinamics were lovable.

The supporting characters are also colorful, fleshed out enough, and while there were a lot of comedy, they also were with sombre realism to them.

Again. Despite some hasty cover ups of what felt like a bit of plot holes, it was a well written story. I might read other novels from this author if there's any.

Translation was amazing. A shout-out for the translating team. <<less

Great storyline, interesting plots, awesome & powered protagonists, impressive dialogues & savage punchlines!

This novel has it all!

I loved the chemistry between the leads. Plots and punchline delivery was great. I lost count of how many times I must have thought, "ohh, savage, emotional damage!" 🤣🤣

Rating 5 Stars! ✨️ Definitely recommended!!

Aaah well 🤔 For some reason, I lost interest in this. I’m not sure why? Maybe it’s because I don’t really like the main characters all that much? Like, I don’t dislike them, but I also don’t love them, they’re lacking appeal to me. In comparison, I really liked the side characters introduced so far 😂. Uhhh idk, it could just be the lack of direction too. Like most survival games / infinite flow novels tend to have more tension or and end goal (e.g. Making it out of the... more>> survival world), but this one feels kind of aimless. It’s definitely more feel-good than I was expecting, which is not bad. Just not what I was looking for currently.

oh well! I think it deserves another shot so I’ll come back to read it again one day. If nothing else, I did enjoy the instances (even if they did lack structure and made it seem equally as aimless as the plot DX). For now, I’ll leave it unrated cause you can never be too sure. I did quit pretty early on. <<less

4.3

The premise of this novel is honestly so interesting. First of all, the ML's first appearance is in an envelope. Second of all, the MC's power grows with his poverty (and he has really bad luck). The horror setup of the arcs are done quite well as well. They weren't actually scary, but the settings were always interesting, and there's a component of mystery to some of the arcs as well. For me, the story kind of started dragging on near the end when they were figuring out how to... more>> fight against the main antagonist. There's quite a bit of cliched elements sprinkled in onto the final resolution as well. MC and MC's romance development was really sweet too. Nothing too exhilarating or dramatic, but just a slow process of ML pampering MC and MC slowly figuring out he's not as straight-man as he thought he was. The romantic subplot definitely plays second fiddle to the actual instance-clearing/fight against the big bad plot, but it's definitely very existent and cute. <<less

I love this story MC and ML. They fit my ideal horror character requirement which was brave and not jumpy. Well, he kinda has a bad luck in one area but good luck in other. I don't think he's too OP, but the ML certainly is OP. He doesn't show it much though, I think the ML was somewhat like an admin or GM on video games.

Shameless MC and Butler-like ML (Sebastian is that you? Not really but me like anyhow), some scenes are definitely funny, and it doesn't leave me with a painful impatient urge to know the answers (thank you author). Something is always happening and the pacing feels good.

Just don't read this at night, if you're a scaredy-human like me.

Ahhh I luv this novel so much 😭💖 the MC character is so likeable. ML is a loyal dog character, but not pushy about his feeling to MC but trapped him slowly. So it's kinda slow romance, but it's still sweet!!

I luv how the story going on and the each character building is very good too. But just a little. A little complain. Why the extra chapter after ending is not about the story after that? 😭 I am a bit disappointed for the extra though they are cute.... more>> I feel heartache for Qi Ning, he is my favorite side character 😭 ca-can I counted the extra for Qi Ning as a happy ending? 😩 I just want Qi Ning get his Happy Ending too 😭 Whyyy author 😭

But bsd this one, and my personal feeling of love for Qi Ning, all in all, this story is Soo good. I hope u enjoy read this one if u deciding to read 💖 <<less

I MTL'd the Novel because I couldn't wait for the TL'ed Chapters and I was right.. One of the best books I have read.

It's funny, engaging and is funny. You never feel bored and the plot is also kind of refreshing. I loved the book and although there are some parts where I am not satisfied with - No book is Perfect. But this book is damn near it.

It's a great novel which is funny and keeps your interest.

I really enjoyed this novel. It kept me interested for most of the novel and there were only 2 arcs near the end that bored me.

I will say, the MC and ML are both OP so if you like watching a MC and ML struggle, this isn't it. The MC and ML are not the best, but I didn't dislike them.

It would have been nice if the ML got a bit more in terms of character development as they were both basically main characters. So much untapped potential with the... more>> ML's story and growth.

The arcs weren't complicated, which I appreciate. I find it annoying when some unlimited flow authors make the game s*upidly complicated in an attempt to be intelligent. Not saying these arcs show some great intelligence, but they also didn't pretend they were.

What I did like is the authors tone. It's kind of hard for me to really articulate, but one example is there wasn't any of the overly patriotic undertones that accompany many Chinese novels. There wasn't any Chinese vs the world, no putting down other countries, it was just a story about a boy stuck in unlimited flow.

The romance is a bit lacking and it is a slow burn, then wham type. The ML is the devoted type and the MC is the thinks he is straight type, found it kind of annoying.

I loved the ending, I'm a sucker for a good happy ending. Was disappointed with the extras though. I mostly skimmed the extras via MTL, but they didn't have much to do with the main story so I was bored.

Translation was great and I loved the little translator notes about certain Chinese character meanings, it's sad that the translation only got to 190. MTL isn't impossible, but not the best. <<less

3, 5 stars.

This is a novel about instances and growth of the MC and the resolution of the world as usual. It wasn't bad, but I skipped paragraphs and thought of other things while reading it.

So, although I finished it and it was ok, I doubt I will re read it. It seems it lacked something to make it more captivating.

I was reading Salted Fish Zombie n rlly love it, it's one of the best writing!! N one of the comment mention it was like this story. But after reading so far, what a disappointment it is. The comedy is meh, the game have no puzzle at all it's just like going through the flow along the story, give u no thriller no horror, character other than MC seems very empty even Luo feel like he's just there for helping MC. Romance is non-existent so far. Writing is meh, the... more>> dialogue is so bland n stiff. Seriously huge disappointment. <<less

I stopped at 90, the first arc was pretty thrilling then, the rest was like what's point.

Comedy not up to my standards. If the poverty thing keep repeating itself like gag eventually it loses it's appeal.

Besides MC having some information on him, I really knew next to nothing about him like the ML.

... more>> Villains are ret*rded, and I find them boring and lack of appeal.

Basically it seems leading towards Saitama style OPM type of thing. You know poverty, powerul, loyal sidekick. Nobody noticed this? That's why I am like why do I need to read a OPM mini horror world spin off.

It was better for me to drop, I find myself skimming through chapters, because there really alot of things I didn't care about. Having 10 chapters about a game that really doesn't seem interesting then sandwich 3 chapters of something plot related is weird.

Well everyone has different taste. <<less

The story is so much better than the summary could even make. I'm not joking! Reading the summary was only half-tempted me. If not for the fact I WANT TO READ MORE HORROR SURVIVAL GAME, I'm probably would only read this after the novel complete it translation. First arc was good. Second arc was Very Good. So I keep continue and in Each arcs + the chapters break, the story keep getting Better and Better.

The setting, the Background characters, the Side characters with their Great Background setting and their Character... more>> Growth without being Equal or Overshadowing the MC and ML but still Very Important Characters and WE LOVE THEM!!!!

Then the Mysteries that slowly but steady getting revealed. The Steady Mutual Trust and Chemistry between MC and ML that growing to be Love without being Too Slow nor Rush. The Intense moments in every arcs that balanced with the Comedy. Sooooo Goooood~!!!

Seriously, this Novel is Soooooo Gooooooood!!!! I'll pray Soooo Hard to have the rest of the story as Satisfying and have Great Best Ending!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Finished at 25 February 2024:

It's Thank Gooooooooooodness has Satisfying Ending! A Happily Ever after without unnecessary sudden knife. Super Relieved especially because the Wang Brothers.

Love how everyone works together to defeat the Final Boss. It delivered Nicely!

And then the extras... A Surprise AU. It's Pure AU in the Extras except the Last 2 Chapters.

I love the Last Extras but absolutely confused with the Qi Ning's extra. Either because I forgot some character or a faulty in Translation... Hmmm 🤔 it's on Wattpad where I read 191 to finish.

Anyway Everything turned really Great in the end and I'm ABSOLUTELY RELIEVED AND LOOOOOOOVING IT!!!

This was the first infinite flow novel I read. As someone who is repulsed at the thought of consuming horror genre (that's why I tend to stay away from infinite flow), I don't think it's scary at all and I even read it between 10 PM to 4 AM. It's quite gory in terms of death happening in the instances, but that's about it.

On the romance aspect, it kind of feels like a slow burn on the MC's part. The MC is very likable, but ML is near the borderline... more>> for me. The MC's skill could be a little too OP sometimes, and even if he's at a disadvantage the ML will, of course, assist him.

Overall, it's a good read if you're trying out infinite flow, even if you don't like horror. I suggest not reading it at all if you're sensitive to gore. <<less

It’s an unlimited flow novel with a slow burn mlm sub plot. The unlimited flow is specifically horror based, which will instantly bring comparisons of supernatural move actor app. While it isn’t quite as good, I will say that this novel was quite unique in its plots and monsters. Generally horror themes unlimited flow will focus solely on ghosts, but this actually took the time to create all kinds of unique monsters, including demons, body horror freaks of nature, lovecratian nightmares etc. For that, I have to give the author... more>> major props for creativity. Every story followed a different formula, which allowed for the arcs to remain fresh.

The protagonist and his love interest are both OP, but their are proper restrictions on his power which prevent him from becoming a Mary Sue (applause). But there’s enough gratuitous OP fighting to allow a weeb like me some much needed excitement. OP characters are fun, when there is still some suspense left by the restrictions on their power.

I do wish ML was more present in the fights. When they collaborate, it results in some of the cooler fights, and shows off their tacit understanding of one another. Unfortunately, the author frequently chose to have MC fight alone when MC is literally RIGHT THERE. I read a comment in which someone described ML as a salted fish, which, at times, is a fair assessment. Which is truly unfortunate, as his power has all the makings of an edgy middle schoolers dream character lol. Regardless, I did like the ML, he had a couple yandere moments, but for the most part he’s not one of those domineering MLs I’m so sick of seeing. He genuinely has a mutual respect for MC and I am always be happy to see a couple which properly communicates.

All in all it was a good read that I would recommend. <<less
