A Forum for Patients of Fourth Hospital

Description

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

Yu Xiao, a terminal stage cancer patient with an incurable condition, had reached a point where she had accepted her fate. Living each day with indifference, she had already made peace with the idea of departing from this world.

One day, her phone automatically downloaded an app called ‘Four Hospital Patients’ Discussion Forum’.

“Four Hospital? Isn’t that the local psychiatric hospital?”

Curious, she tapped into the app. The top post read: 【Guide for the Morgue】

Yu Xiao:???

Second post: 【Cataloguing the Ghosts I’ve Encountered Over the Years】

Yu Xiao: No wonder it’s a forum from a psychiatric hospital.

【Step-by-Step Guide to Becoming a Sealing Master!】 This one seems quite intriguing!

———— That night, terror descended, and the hospital was engulfed in a crimson hue. Unnameable horrors lurked outside the wards, murmuring by the rooms, “Let’s see who’s been naughty now?”

————

During rounds that night, the inspection ghost lifted Yu Xiao’s blanket and stumbled upon the talismans by her pillow. The ghost was amazed to find high-level symbols.

The inspection ghost cried, “Why would advanced seals appear at a beginner’s level?!”

Love the girl squad surviving on their own with their own skillz and need no man energy. So much better than those millions of books on surviving horror instances where they picture girls as either a burden, an object for s*xual desire at all times, useless, helpless, cowardly, only good for seducing (although the MC does make use of this but like in a quirky way), incapable of working with others and other females, selfish and ruthless, or non-existent. Imagine that: females being 3D in a horror scene. She does... more>> have a lot of plot armor let's be real though. She's definitely Op. But it's really a funny/comedy novel so I can't take it too seriously and I just enjoy it. The premise is fun and quirky and different enough to draw you into otherwise just another book about horror sequences. But this one feels like there's more of a purpose because the structure of it is based around terminally ill patients who need a second chance at life. And it isn't about patients attacking each other.

One of the cons of this book other than the plot armor that the MC has is that I would say she doesn't mind taking points when she has a business or a plan from other patients. Which I would argue is like maybe not morally correct but she's surviving you know. And she's not like bullying them into it. Yea she is kinda ruthless sometimes, but to a degree it's understandable in this environment. The other con is that low-key high-key her wardmates are so lecherous towards men like I'm all for the reversal of dynamic but I don't like seeing this for either gender. Saying lecherous might be a stretch tbh. They're just thirsty and after awhile I'm just tired of reading about it lol.

The biggest pro is that the translations are among the best I've ever seen. Footnotes, details, and images galore. It's really so easy to tell when someone mtls for money (the audacity) versus high quality translations, esp when you see it. This is top tier translations. <<less

Fun read at first, but it slowly gets boring... the translation is also in british slang, so it kinda feels weird sometimes. MC and her friends feels very inconsistent, sometimes they were fearless when they see ghosts, then suddenly they were so scared that they couldn't even speak.. MC also sometimes have weird outbursts whenever she gets in trouble which feels inconsistent with her character from the first 2 instances. MC's 2 friends are useless most of the time, they even feel like a nuisance.

As much as I want... more>> to know the ending, the novel feels too boring for me to continue, so I'm dropping it here. <<less

To be honest, I had a lot of laughs out of this one. The MC might not be OP, but there really is something wrong with her head >_< reason for this might be because of her illness. I love the dynamics between the OP and her friends (wardmates) especially whenever they can make the other patients doubt life. There are some loopholes with the worldview, or maybe because I did not manage to understand the concept about time and space of the Horror Hospital.

In terms of character, most would... more>> either have friendship with the MC, love the MC during the use of props, or hate the MC due to her actions. Each one has their own role, but I still pity that three headed dog security head who was left behind when the hospital director changed positions. Ghosts really do hold grudges. The plot was awesome, I'm currently looking for novels such as this one to relieve my loneliness for the weekend.

It's a sad thing that there's no romance tag even if the MC charms others here and there using props. But there definitely should be a romance subplot tag for that little singing ghost in the mortuary. I also hope that the MC can open up her heart for Nightmare who's really a very considerate entity who has eyes for the MC.

Although I feel like it ended abruptly, I'm still satisfied with this ending. <<less

I can think of only one word to sum up this novel, absurd.

This novel is a comically absurd take on the usual horror survival genre that would keep you gaffawing at night, scaring away all the neighbourhood ghosts from your room.

... more>> Brief synopsis:

Three cancer patients gets transported to a horror world where you get " treated" by visiting different "healing" instances all the while trying not to be butchered by the native ghosts of that instance. Our MC and her two bffs tackles every instance in the most insane ways possible to find their way back to the real world and get cured. They make a variety of enemies and allies along the way.

Pros:

MC is seriously awesome. Considering that she has a brain tumour and is deaf half of the time, the things this girl gets up to is completely unhinged. She has knack for pissing off every attending doctor / monster that crosses her path and I'm here for it.

LOVE the trio. Most Chinese novels, slash that, most light novels in general don't portray female friendships very well even though they can be the best relationships one can attain throughout one's lifetime. Thus it was a joy to read this novel. The care, the love and the sweetness of their friendship warmed my heart throughout the novel.

The ML is a cutie patootie. While he may not have a big role in the entirety of the novel, he is like a silent pillar that is always ready to back up our MC and I like that.
Spoiler

I also like that he was the only guy MC wasn't intentionally seducing.

[collapse]

It is quite reverse harem-y at least at least in the first half of the novel. It isn't actually reverse harem considering
Spoiler

Everyone she 'seduced' absolutely hates her guts and plots against her many times.

[collapse]

This novel although it is set in a horror world and has terminally ill people in them, is quite lighthearted.

Cons:

I couldn't really understand what happened in the end. To those who finished the novel -
Spoiler

did she finally leave her post ?

[collapse]

Last but not least I have to thank the author for bringing a relatively fresh breath of air into the world of FMC novels. Recommend this novel to those who like horror comedy. <<less

This is absolutely hilarious. Definitely worth the read. The MC is a lunatic in all of the best ways, and the rest of the characters are pretty great too.

It's good. Really good.

While the protagonist is female, this story is good for both genders, as romance isn't even a subplot. In fact, you know reverse harem? This story is like that, except she's gathering haters instead of admirers. ... more>>
Spoiler

Not a single attending doctor she's encountered hasn't wanted to unalive her by the end of it.

[collapse]
There is someone who can be considered a male lead, but

Spoiler

he isn't even introduced until around 80 chapters in, and he's kind of just a (literal) clinging kitten lying offscreen where I am now.

[collapse]

I will say that Yu Xuan is a bit unpredictable. Maybe it's the tumor in her head, but she makes some strange choices sometimes. Or maybe, they're so logical, it's unexpected? She's a bit heartless sometimes, too.

In fact, if it weren't for her pronouns and two friends to remind me, looking at her personality, actions, and others' reactions to her, she's almost male-coded. It's kind of a breath of fresh air.

Oh, right. The instances. They're fun, too, and a little nuanced at times. I won't go into details, but there's a mystery in the world building. If the instance isn't only confined to a hospital, the world seems a bit... real? <<less

==Editted after I finished novel==

(c1-c98)

Wow, this is so much fun! Highly recommended!

... more>> MC personality is definitely not normal... in a good way! She definitely carries this story, making it fun and thrilling despite the backdrop of horror.

Story plot is very intriguing. I am very curious to what's outside, like how the world works. Clearly, each instance is not just a fabricated story. The 'people' inside weren't just NPCs. Snippets of their dynamics really makes the world alive.

And the of course the forum. I love reading reaction posts for MC shenanigans xD

All in all, this novels is definitely worth your time. Give it a try!

==Update==

(Chapter 191 - completed)

It was a great ride. I finished reading and 191 chapters felt short, yet also just right.

First half had more comedic elements, the latter half had the tragedies.

Spoiler

First and Second hospitals are so pitiful.

[collapse]

Spoiler

Brother Bed... I really liked this guy. Good amount of crazy.

[collapse]

The ending is also great, and tied all (imo) loose ends.

Especially at the end

Spoiler

/////MAJOR SPOILER/////

I love nightmare. He's so cute! Can't believe someone so obedient (to MC) is a 'Nightmare'. This guy is an angel. He never forced MC to do anything she didn't want, just used cute kitten eyes.

I read that there's no romance here but I disagree. Nightmare is obviously ML in the extra chapters.

They even kissed! For a full minute! And nightmare asked if he could do again! MC said sure! (While thinking he is too innocent and need to make him watch more idol dramas xD)

For this, I am happy for them both. Had been shipping so hard since Nightmare was introduced!! (╥﹏╥)
