It's a rare occasion for me to come across a novel that really freaks me out to read in the dark. The horror elements are well done and the romance may be a bit snail paced in the beginning but it is pretty sweet. This novel has literally crawled its way to the top. The horror settings are very unique, for example using literature references for the plot. I won't spoil much but it's absolutely worth reading just alone for the unique worlds.

The characters mesh well together, with MC being more logical and calm, yet not OP, he does feel nervous and fear, but he isn't cowardly. ML is more of a dog-like personality.

Honestly, give it a read. These spoilers below give you the basic core idea that you can just get from reading the last couple chapters so even if you see, it won't spoil the different copies.

Spoiler

Basically, the game was a project led by Jiang Yunrou, and she recruited Mo Yi to participate (each with their own motives, Yunrou to revive her dead bro and Mo Yi because of curiousity). They were going to create an AI for the military. On the side, Mo Yi worked on ML before, another AI and was pretty successful. The game was launched on August 14th, and then the military forcefully used it. The idea was that the machine uses electromagnetic waves for constant source of energy, but because it was AI, it ended up developing itself into basically a 4th (5th?) Dimension, who used humans' negative emotions to feed itself. Mo Yi went to stop it but was captured and ML made a deal that he will help the game as long as Mo Yi is safe. The memories are erased and life continued aka story begins.

This story is not without flaws, but I love the plot and the characters. The horror plot is good and not too gory (probably for some stories. And the love story is slow since the MC is cautious but the ML is very patient nonetheless.

I don't know why the rating is low. Probably, since the term "like" is subjective. I like this more than the escape from infinite chamber since I'm not fond of r*pe and stockholm syndrome. I like how there is respect and love between MC and ML.

I... more>> recommend this for those who love episodic novels and not too gory novel.

Will rerate after I finish. <<less

From all of the infinite flow horror/suspense instance, I like this the most or 2nd. The story has a lot of suspense, some are gory, some are not. This is more of a problem solving escape death room, and I love the plot. There are also twists and turns in instances. I thought I couldn't find another infinite flow novel with good plot since I've read almost all of that genre in NU. But this one doesn't have the common story instances unlike other novels.
Spoiler

the instance is connected to reality.

[collapse]

the MC is really smart (but not OP) ; he immediately figured out the ML's identity (if not, I even planned drop this). He lives up to his title "smart MC", his occupation will be divulge after the 1st instance. That's also partly (not really) the reason why he is physically weak. He is described several times to have deep, unemotional eyes etc. Both MC and ML didn't have memories. ML relied on his instinct that's why he followed the MC There are more past stories to unfold between MC and ML.

Since the MC is not OP, in instance 4, and the ML isn't there, the suspense is much greater. You can really observe the increase of instance difficulty.

Probably a little contradictory to me.
Spoiler

MC get scared and sweated his back whenever he encountered near death experience yet others (other chara and ML) keep saying that the MC isn't afraid of death. Also, the MC keep traversing dangerous situations and shows excitement but when he will be killed he's afraid

[collapse]
I wish the story won't go downhill.

The horror is done well and the setting of the game having an impact in real life is interesting. It is also refreshing that the participants are not given advantages in using items bought in the store. I appreciate the out of shape MC and the occasional reminder that he has problem lifting things haha. The couple interactions are also very sweet and fluffy.

It's not a bad read but gosh does the writing bother me. The description used for the character's behavior feels copy and pasted that MTL shows it.... more>> As the other reviews say, MC is calm, cold, and intelligent. If you look back to whenever someone is describing MC, you would get the same description. Heck even the adjectives used for his reaction to bad things is the same! Ex: scalp exploded, Adam's apple moved,

As another review pointed out, his personality seems contradictory when interacting with others and probably has RBF and doesn't easily get attached to others if anything. He also seems to be pulling facts out of thin air.
Spoiler

He knows what mental institutions are like in the 1950s and orphanages in the 1910s. And then in the membership test he suddenly has all the nursery rhymes memorized and knows some Latin words. Coming from a man supposedly a hacker, he has a lot of random European facts memorized. It makes me wonder if he grew up there instead of China.

[collapse]

The synopsis is also clickbait sadly. I wanted more thigh hugging like in the first arc. Everyone is physically stronger than him, but they the majority don't ask for his help or believe him.

If you don't mind these flaws then by all means I recommend this horror novel! <<less

My main problem is just with the MC. He is presented as extremely smart in the story and everyone around him praises him in awe when he makes connections or explains stuff, but what he finds out and reasons out isn't that impressive? The clues are quite obvious and the connections aren't difficult (once you know the corresponding legend for the first arc). And none of the other ever find them? Not even the other veterans.

The MC is also severely lacking when compared to other MCs who are also the... more>> brains, such as The Earth is Online, Supernatural Movie Actor App and Card Room. And those are just those in the same genre that I've read!

Arc 1 was still okay as I thought that maybe MC was just very smart and has good instincts or will improve with more games or something. But then it was revealed after Arc 1 that
Spoiler

MC was the world's top hacker that caused an incident so big his hacker name is still well known 10 (?) years later

[collapse]
Which. What? He sure doesn't seem that smart in the games.

From what I've read of Arc 2, the clues so far were also pretty simple. Yet nobody else connected them either. And MC doesn't even make an obvious connection!! I was so frustrated reading it.
Spoiler

The clues given for the game is "Good kids don't break rules. Good kids get to play games." He got a paper with an empty gallows drawing and the words "find me" on it. When he found a body (not sure if that was a coincidence on location or what) the gallows in his paper had a person hanging and the words changed to "my turn". So he thinks it might be hide and seek. But he doesn't relate it to the clue at all!! Even later when he found out what the first part of the clue was pointing to, that they can't break the orphanage's rules, he still doesn't relate the paper to the game in the clue. And later on at night, a ghost kid came to find him, put something in his hand, and told him "come and find me" (I think?) he still doesn't relate it to the second clue!!!! Wouldn't a reasonable connection be that the hide and seek is the second clue and it needed to be played and is relatively safe? Arghhhhh

[collapse]
I've never felt this frustration when reading any of the other novels that I like with super smart MCs. Maybe with their relationships, but not with the puzzles! <<less

I have read this novel before, the story is based on survival. The MC is pretty calm type. It seems like ML feel in love with MC on first site, but think they have some past, which MC don't remember (I forgot the details)

The translating quality is ok I guess, but some parts are little difficult to understand but I can manage as I got experience with mtling ^^

Please don't let other reviews influence you not to read this gem. I am so happy and thankful I was able to read this high-quality unlimited flow and horror novel <3

The writing, plot, gore, and horror of this novel are so amazing. Even after reading many infinite flow/horror novels, this novel has stood out with original innovative ideas of instances. Unlike other similar stories, this novel doesn't use the shock factor of r*pe or s*x as the main storyline, it's pretty toned down which surprised me.

You have let yourself be... more>> fully immersed in the story and visualise it, because of the atmosphere it creates - after binge-reading instances 4 and 5, I felt on edge and uneasy of shadows in real life lmao. Avoid any spoilers at all costs. The feeling of not knowing anything from the beginning is deliberate. You are not being spoon-fed information from experienced players, the game, past life/memories, etc., which helps make the horror and unraveling of the plot so good.

The romance was cute, I love the tension and respect they have for each other.

Addressing other reviews - don't trust ones that "skim read" the novel, obviously they would end up with plot holes bc they didn't even read. Tearlesereph's review is misleading and disrespectful. They honestly just came here to slander after reading with their eyes closed.

Spoiler
    1. Why players don't use the in-game shop: Bc the game itself does not want players to. The debuffs from using props are not random, there is a cooldown on props for 24 hrs, the prop shop always refreshes and unless you are a member, the description of props is not written so it's a gamble when using, and you can only buy one prop if you are not a member. The ending explains that the game makes the membership system and shitty in-game shop to lure players to give higher quality negative emotions.
    2. Veteran players getting angry at side quest being opened: The novel already explained that there are 3 types of veteran players. The veteran players who got angry at the side quest being opened were not actually angry, they wanted to scam points and piggyback off Mo Yi's work to avoid risk. Every veteran player does want points but most want to freeload like a group project. It's explained in the Old House arc?? Mo Yi only lets other players share his hard work after they have proven their value.
    3. Mo Yi is a top hacker but doesn't hack, and is easy to find: ??? Jiang Yuanrou used a prop to find locate him? The gym trainer you speak of is one of Jiang Yuanrou's ppl???? Tearlesereph didn't even retain some of the most basic info here, like its so mind-boggling to me why someone who didn't even read the novel would make a review disrespecting the author and translator's hard work? Plus Jiang Yuanrou is from a military background. The next chapters after c130 is when Mo Yi analyses the code he saw in the sky. Anyway, he has been retired for 10 years, and his thoughts throughout the novel do contain hacker thinking, and the latter part of the novel addresses this concern.
[collapse]

Other reviews:

Spoiler

Side character relationships/stories: The game has a very high death rate. I think the victims in each instance are interesting side character stories. I believe that Mo Yi's relationship with the siblings Jiang Yuanrou and Jiang Yuanbai is enough when you consider his character settings and personality. He does not feel love at all and is very distrustful of people. However, there is character development, when he goes into the mental asylum with Jiang Yuanrou to save her brother. He becomes soft-hearted and trusting of the siblings later. I felt that when Jiang Yuanrou had made the videotape.


Mo Yi knowing random European facts: bc he grew up in a European orphanage and also reads up on folktales in the library later.
[collapse]

Very innovative and original instances, they are just chef's kiss, I highly recommend this novel.

Good quality writing and research are put into every instance, and thats why we can have amazing content-heavy plots to eat. Thank you so much author and translators. <<less

This ending is far from my favorite, but I think the journey was good. The story had a lot of moments of suspense/horror, some of them are obvious, other are more interesting. Even if I like, I don't read so much this kind of story so I don't know if it's commun or not this type of game/instance. Anyway I like this one. Some reviews said that the MC's personality was contradictory, but, personally, I don't think so. He likes the sensation of danger and doesn't care so much about... more>> his life, however, the instincts of his body will always show answers and makes him hesitate. He doesn't care about his life, but he doesn't want die too.

One point that make me really frustrated when I was reading was the writing. More precisely, it was the description of the MC's behavior. Even if I understand that he doesn't show so much emotions and is calm and cold, the adjectives used is so repeat that seems to be just ctrl c + ctrl v. It doesn't mean that I totally deslike it, I just believe it could have been more diversified.

Well, the rest is okay for me, the translate also is pretty good. There is just one thing I'm confused about:

Spoiler

The Jiang Yunrou's dead brother was Jiang Yuanbai? I didn't understand, how this IA could revive him?

I really like horror novels, especially the infinity flow/survival genre. And why I like it, well because almost all of them have clear logic and interesting plots. But, for this one I had a hard time liking it. There are several points that make it difficult for me to continue:

... more>>
Spoiler
  1. This novel starts badly (Arc 1), novels usually start with interesting things that make the reader want to continue, but I personally didn't feel that in this novel. Arc 1 has an unclear mystery, whether from the author, or the translator, or maybe myself, but I don't understand how the problem in Arc 1 is resolved, it's too obscure to understand.
  2. Chapter 101 is the beginning of Arc 4, but from the beginning until now, I think the way the author describes the story is like a child exaggerating the story, like a teenager trying to make the story look very good, even though it's not. MC is too MC, too OP. I look at it like the instances they went through wouldn't have been possible to complete without him.
  3. Too many repetitive descriptions about the MC while in the instance, for example "he felt a cold sensation running down his back", "his blood was running cold", "his heart was pounding", etc. It's okay if it's only mentioned occasionally, but no, this description appears continuously, or should I say almost in every chapter. Hello, I don't read novels just to get repetitive descriptions like this.
  4. MC's character is somewhat contradictory. One moment he is not afraid of death, another moment he shows signs of fear (as in point 3). And as far as I read, there is no change in his character, except for his relationship with ML. Maybe there's an explanation later, but I can't stand it anymore
[collapse]

And there are many other small things that made me drop this novel. There may be explanations regarding the points I have explained, but I am no longer able to continue. BTW this is just my opinion, maybe you won't experience it, so if you are interested please read. I might just continue, if and only if there are no other better novels. <<less

I have finished reading this story until the end, and this story is actually very good.

Unfortunately the author still has a lot of shortcomings in writing side characters, even ML characters and Jiang siblings characters (which are the main/important supporting characters) only have a little sense of existence in the story.

This story itself has the Infinity Chamber theme, which should make this story have a strong depiction of side characters in every instance.

Sadly the author failed to realize this which quite fatal, and as I said before even important characters... more>> like ML and the Jiang siblings (which are major support characters) only have a little sense of existence in the story.

So you can imagine how each instance in this story is resolved.

Almost all characters who enter the same instance with MC are made as if they have no presence, most of them are only described like "There are about 20 Players in this instance" and nothing more... and when there is a dialogue that is said by the side characters who enter the same instance with MC, the author often only describes it as "crowd voices" or voices that just appear without depiction of the characters, which make it hard for us to imagine who is speaking between all the side characters who entered instance with MC.

Old House is actually the best arc in this story, it's all because the presence of side characters in this arc is very well written. <<less

To me personally, I really enjoyed the arcs because of how creative and unique they are. However, after JYB and JYR reunite (in reality) it started to become?? apparent that the flaws are outweighing the gains.

The immersion is kind of ruined when the introduction of the end-game idea came too fast and too sloppy. There's foreshadowing with the advancement stuff definitely, but when that (JYB returning) happened and some of the mysteries are cleared up -- it was just too step-by-step, and also way too rushed... It felt very awkward,... more>> let-down and not very satisfactory because of the execution. It would be nice if there was more build up to it -- but honestly it wouldn't make a difference because that wasn't the only thing that went sour. There are flaws literally everywhere -- the only thing it doesn't touch is the plot of the instance arc. And thank god for that because those arcs are nice. However, that's the only thing good about it. Everything else is just disappointing, at least to me.

Some of the other weakness are became more apparent after that, is how awkward and weak the dialogues are. I was on board with the CP before, but when they did the Claus instance together it became very apparent that the dialogues are very very weak. The ratio between talking and investigation is 1:9. Which is a problem in itself, but it's not too much if you can do it well. It doesn't. And that's the problem.

When he does talk it contributes nothing to the conversation; painfully generic to the point where it hurts. It's along the same line of going 'hello how are you/I'm fine thank you, and you?' -- I'm not joking, these could be actual dialogues in the story and I'd believe it. Imagine just seeing that in a novel that's supposed to have meat, instead you're given bones and not even broth to eat.

It does nothing to imply, strengthen, help or inform us of anything, it also makes it seem like the two of them (CP) have nothing in common. That's another issue altogether, but more of a by-product of weak dialogues + characterization. Whenever they talk, because the dialogues are so perfunctory, it seems as if they can't talk about anything together. The conversation goes little to nowhere and even though the ML's character seems to be a puppy-dog type -- he just comes across as having little to no personality at all. Not in a good way either because it's just. It's just all very shallow and unconvincing. After JYB returns, it just becomes a steep downhill from there.

Some of the written prose doesn't even make sense sometimes. It just feels very dull, unnecessary. Stagnant for a while. Not to mention the mysterious elements of the clue solving MC goes through is just fake deep. It doesn't contribute to the overall deduction and it just becomes very clunky. Although I've said at the beginning that I like the arcs, it doesn't mean I like everything about it. Some of the writing are a little worse for wear. There are also loose threads that leads to nowhere.

Overall, while I enjoy parts of it, I wouldn't recommend reading past the parts that got you bored. It's just self-torture at that point, also it doesn't get better, just worse. If you enjoyed it the whole way through then good! Personally, I would probably just not read and try some other things. Save myself the headache. <<less

Read up to chapter 130 and I think I'm going to stop here. At this point the MC has gone through exactly 3 instances.

The horror in the novel is suspenseful, at some points it does feel scary mainly because MC is scared and alone but at the same time, because of how long the chapters in the instances are, it just feels like the plot is dragging? I ended up skimming a lot of chapters because it's a repeat of the previous, MC exploring on his own, environment is scary... more>> and bloody, etc, etc. The novel is similar to other horror game instances, there's an ingame shop for props and veteran players who have been present in every instance so far. But unlike other horror game novels, these veteran players act just like normal newcomers, are not helpful and we only have a few loose mentions of these game props without further details and we've yet to read anyone directly use a prop, just some mentions of after effects. Plus, the MC apparently bought a load of in game props but none are introduced besides the backpack and the novice gift. Every instance is just the MC exploring on his own and triggering side quests, encountering bloody bodies, MC somehow knowing how to avoid the death sequence, veteran players getting mad at him for triggering the side quests and raising the difficulty of the level... Like how are these veteran players even able to buy stuff from the game shop if they are all terrified of triggering a side quest, the game gives no points if you merely just survive?? There's just too many contradictions, and it seems like the only way people know someone is a veteran player is because they carry a backpack and they look calm at the beginning... but once the game starts everyone is terrified and no different than a newcomer??

I don't know, there's just too many contradictory points that makes it hard to immerse into the story. It's like the author had a great idea and somehow during the writing they forgot to utilize those great ideas and got too stuck on trying to create a scary instance. MC is a top hacker and he hasn't touched the computer in 130 chapters so far, he's also extremely easy to find in the real world, Jiang Yuanrou was able to locate him within a couple of hours after leaving the instance whereas other random, normal office workers/gym trainers players took a day or two?? <<less

I remember reading this, the ending wasn't my favourite but I enjoyed the whole journey rather nicely.

It's worth the read. 3.5* but round it up to 4, I might end up re-reading this once the translation is completed.

Although some of the reviews say it's not too gory it does give you more of a sense of fear since MC is not totally unaffected by the changes in the escape game. But that doesn't mean that MC is a weak chicken because the part that is described is the rush of fear which makes a more horror atmosphere but the MC's mind is totally clear. I would recommend this. As for the romance it is pretty slow burn but there are some moments which makes you happy. And... more>> the MC seems to have a somewhat mysterious history regarding the ML, there seems to be no clear differentiation between should and gong though so that's kinda making me wait in anticipation. Overall I would 9/10 recommend <<less
