(This review is for my own reference only. This is just what I felt while reading; no judgment on the book intended.)

I didn't feel any tension or anticipation at all, either in terms of the romance or the plot. ML immediately held MC's hand through everything. He let MC figure out problems, but it was like a parent watching over a child. Not romantic to me. It seemed like everything was going to be fine for the MC no matter what, so in the end, I didn't feel... more>> interested in reading more.

I also didn't like the way the blindness was handled. MC started out blind for a few chapters, but when he gained vision, he didn't even show a sense of wonder or novelty. Nothing about sight seemed new or confusing or exciting to him. He didn't have to adjust. He just acted like he had always been able to see.

I kept reading just to see if ML would eventually show a darker side or maybe there would be a twist... But now that I've looked at the reviews, it seems like that doesn't happen.

I think this novel would be best for people who want to see a bit of horror and gore, but don't want to feel worried or scared for the protagonist at all. <<less

NPC who gained sentience for some reason in this infinite horror game sorta thingy

[collapse]

ML absolutely loves MC. From first sight, he took one look and never looked anywhere else. And he suffers coz of that
Spoiler

as punishment for failing to kill the bug, for every game that MC survives, ML has to bear the pain of death ?

[collapse]

The other characters have their own quirks and are kind of well fleshed out. It's pretty interesting how they try to find a way out of this infinite game.

But it's not horror in the traditional sense. MC himself is calm and strong, plus ML is super duper duper OP, the team-mates have also faced a lot of shit. So the ghosts/ devils don't really bring about a taste of fear. It's more like adventure game.

T/L rate - 10/10 <<less

This series gives me mixed feelings. I came to read about a character with blindness, but it was all a ploy. I stayed for the horror stories, but none of those are suspenseful or terrifying.

The blindness only lasts for the first arc. Like scriptor, another reviewer, said, the MC's response to suddenly being able to see when having been blind for his entire life doesn't make a lick of sense. Instead, it's used as an excuse to give him OP senses and make him even more of a Gary Stu... more>> than he already was. Although the MC has never ever seen anything in his life before, he can immediately tell colors apart, read, interpret forms to identify things, and have fully-functional perspective perception. There are people who have had devices placed to give them sight or return sight to them, and there are stories about how horrifying people looked to them once they could see for the first time. There are also stories about how they have a terrible time judging depth perception. This information is not difficult to find.

The story does not stick with its own setting and instead immediately treats the MC as someone who only recently and temporarily lost his eyesight. Oh, and, by the way, he can see better than normal people--he can see farther away than them and see better in the dark than them.

The MC is a Gary Stu--he's kind, intelligent, lucky, and extremely attractive looking. The first time he works with his team, they all come to depend on him, even though he's the least experienced member of their entire group. Even though the ML has never been to school before, he knows everything about going to college and high school and blends in well. It just doesn't make sense. The ML is OP and calm. The bonus points for the MC and ML is that they have more distinctive personalities than most Chinese BL series out there.

Although there are a number of errors in the translation and writing, it's readable. There are also a lot of logical inconsistencies that the author apparently never did any research into or didn't bother with. The arcs are nice but not suspenseful or horrifying. They're just more like gentle ghost stories most of the time.

In short, this series is somewhat entertaining but not impactful. It's nice for spending time but doesn't leave a lasting impression. <<less

The story is interesting to say the least. The ML is very weird and a little arrogant. I hope the MC grows more.

That was just an intro. The real purpose if this review was made as a reply to scriptor's review and him mentioning blindness. There are different types of blindness. There are blind people (whether blind from birth or not) that can see light. That is actually a very common kind of blindness. They can see light and where it's coming from. Depending on how bad there blindness is... more>> they can see the shape or just the direction. So, the blindness by the author is actually pretty accurate. Though yes, it does seem like some of the terms the author uses for the MC is more suited for someone who could see before going blind. <<less

The story is good and I like the idea of author, MCs identity. However, there are some lines and scenes that are overly dramatic and/or out of place.

The instance itself is quite good but the ML's development and personality is out of place. Also, I'm very disappointed with ML. For the MC, I'm wondering why they didn't save the npc who had gained consciousness that the world was only a game (polive investigator and doctor).

Spoiler

you can't trust anyone not even yourself, you can only trust me. It is honestly a bullshit. I hate the MLs arrogant line. He should let the MC grow. He let MC grew in some ways. Also, another line that pisses me off "your hand is destined to be stained with blood... let me be the first soul under your death. His idea of protecting is misaligned. It seems that the author just wanted to put a dramatic lines that are out of place and Support it.

There is also an arc which is very similar to "the purge" movie <<less

So far, Absolutely Soooooo Very Good!!!

Best MC, Best ML, Great Supporting Characters as Teammates, Intriguing Deep Plot, All Great Horror Mystery or Adventure in every Games/Arcs, Sweet Loving Romance... It's basically Perfection if not for the fact the Translation is Not Complete yet so I can't judge if this novel going to be Perfect or not.

The different in this Novel compared to other Horror Survival Game is:

  1. MC WAS an NPC. He wasn't someone who die and reincarnate to be NPC or chosen to be a Player. He really was AN NPC who finally know the truth of the World he had born and live.
  2. No Ability, No Super Strength, No Special Item. The Players literally have to rely on their own Strength and Experience. ML's strength based on his Very Long Experience, while MC's abilities came from being honed since young when he was Blind (aka his other senses was more sensitive) though it get stronger without explanation; implied being Player made his other senses stronger than before.
It's Super Recommended!!! Great Plots, Great Characters, and Best CP ever, don't hesitate!!!

An okay read, :3

Only the way they depict blindness is inaccurate lol... Just a warning in case someone who knows what blindness is like from an acquaintance, etc. reads this and thinks 'wtf.' MC acts more like someone who was originally able to see and later became blind than from the description of him as someone born blind. He's able to discern what light is, for one, and what candles are.

I suggest handwaving away these inaccuracies when you read if you wanna enjoy~

this one is fairly good. The MC is clever and learns quickly and the ML is typically op, but he's quiet about it. Several of the games were a little creepy but not that scary and I actually prefer the solo ones where it's just the MC and ml, rather than the group games which take longer. I kind of wish it had been scarier and that some things had been gone into in more detail but it's still good as is. I'm still a little confused about the end... more>> (some things don't make sense) so I will definitely come back and read the translation. <<less

Very engaging. It's a totally new experience to see a blind person's perspective in a Horror Survival Game.

Will edit as I read further.

Spoiler

not really a spoiler but yeah, he doesn't stay blind throughout the story. Read and you'll see. Still, don't let it dampen your enthusiasm 'cuz it's damn good. Worth your time.

Don't hesitate! Go read it ! Jiayou !

Honestly, this story isn't that bad.

But the ending really left too many question, starting from what is the real purpose of the "rules" which governing the instance world, and how they actually formed, what the background of rules itself, and many more details that are simply missed.

And as for the arc instance itself, honestly it's not bad, but on the other hand I also understand why many people don't like it.

This is because almost all of the existing arcs are taken from a film (the author himself admits this) but... more>> instead of using it only as a basis for developing a different plot, the author just seems to be creating a downgrade version of a previously existing film version.

This would be fine if you haven't watched the film that is used as a reference, but if you have, then this makes the arc look very stiff and boring. <<less

Ahh finally I completed reading the novel and lemme tell you, you will regret if you don't read this novel... it's f*cking awesome...

Spoiler

Basically the MC is a NPC but later he becomes a player and ML is a player but he became a "cleaner" for the game system, he becomes so cause he already have completed all games and so the system decided to make him a "cleaner" to wipe out all the loop holes or moles?

And yeah one of his duty was to wipe out "MC" that is why is was sent to the "senseless city" which was also the first stage of the game? From which MC becomes a player, basically MC was a NPC but he was blind since birth and so he was considered as a mole, the system decied to send Qi xiuming (ML) to wipe out/kill Lu Chu (MC) but unknowingly the ML falls in love with MC cause of his kindness and stuffs, ahh and MC's dog basically a trained dog gifted by his parents named the dog Carrot (heheh cute) sorry I couldn't remember it's breed though it's mentioned further in the chapters.

So yeah in first game the ML helps MC to reach the tower and complete the game.

CONCLUSION: must read, you won't regret

[Everytime ML helps MC, the ML is punished severely by the system like ti bear the pain of tearing the skin apart and stuffs but the ML is used to this pain like being numb, but he can do anything for his love~🥺]

And yes it has a Happy ending, wow I love it and yeah both MC and ML and their teammates successfully exits the game and enters the real world tho MC doesn't have any I'd in the real world cause he was a NPC in the game world but that doesn't effects anything and yeah lastly the ML remembers his name after he enters the "real" world

All in all my best ever game survival story with the best happy ending and SATISFIED one~

As an unlimited flow novel, the pacing is very good and the plot is very refreshing. The scenarios are always very different. The romance between the leads feels very much like a natural progression. When they finally get together you go "yeah, that's how it should be." They are very sweet together. The ML makes quite a few sacrifices for the MC, and sometimes the sheer scope of the sacrifices makes you wonder what made him fall so hard.

It is unclear if it can be treated as love at fiest... more>> sight for the ML. We'll probably never know why MC was the only person who managed to break down his walls, that too without even knowing that the ML existed in the first place. The parts that are in the ML's pov feel heartbreakingly and heartwarmingly full of love. Even before they get together, there is a mutual trust and sincerity between them that I haven't seen in many novels before. Something about their relationship deeply touches my heart.

I like the MC because he's decisive. He tries to grow well to match the ML and take some of his burdens. He doesn't stop ML from making sacrifices because he is very clear about the fact that ML is the only person who can do this, but if you think his love for the ML is any less then you are wrong. MC would rather die in an illusion than live a life without the ML, and that's clear to everybody around him.

The side characters are a delight. They have their own soul and you would not tire of reading about them.

Spoiler

I kinda feel like the side story with the abortion was kinda out of the blue and didn't really flow that well into the story, but you could say it was a way for MC and ML to come to terms with the fact that they have retained some special abilities because they will never completely be a part of the real world.

[collapse]

If I have any complaints, it actually stems from the translations. I have noticed on at least 4 occasions that the paragraphs in the chapters are messy and repeated. And I have noticed 3 occasions where a huge part of the plot suddenly goes missing. I only caught it because the missing part of the chapter was very important for the plot. I have no idea how many portions are missing in other places where it's not as easy to notice.

There was this one chapter that was also repeated, so I suggest that If you want to read this story, open the og story in a separate tab and navigate near the chapters of the untranslated chapters where the translation doesn't make sense. I read it that way and even though the mtl via google translate is a bit jerky, it's readable. You can resume reading from the translations when the missing/misplaced portions end.

For edited MTL by knoxT, the grammar is pretty good, even though I have found more than five cases of tampering with the plot (which might not be on purpose).

I wanted to deduct a star for the confusing translations but I decided not to because this story is a dusty gem in a place filled with unlimited flow with the same plots and character designs. It's worth reading. <<less

It never fails to amaze me. I want to read every kind of novel there is but it is truly boundaries such as language. I don't have time to learn other languages due to my occupied time for reading novels and mangas. This is why I'm always waiting for it to be translated. Either way this novel is very interesting.

To tell you I didn't want to continue read this for now. It's not because it's bad but because I just don't want to know the MC suffering. Just can't take it. I'll only feel distress, that's all. The translation is good. For does really love horror novel, this really suits you. (:

Aww, it's pretty good I think but the characters are a bit too OP and to be honest there were only few 'rounds' and there arent much problems or conflicts. It is still quite scary, just a bit. ANW it was a nice read, you can try it, but I would honestly rate it 4.5? Just because I think it could be so much better and deeper because the plot is really interesting. But I guess the author just wanted our Lu Chu and 7 to be happy hehe

Spoiler

I am soooo happy that they got radish in the end T0T

[collapse]

Like 7's lore is just so much but in the end, we never really knew too much about him and the author couldve emphasized each other's importantness (lol) to each other more but it's still alright. We even got a bit sexy moment and they deserve it.

Also, for future readers, Lu Chu won't be blind for the whole story, if ever that's the reason you wanna read this. But it's still a really fun and good story!

reread? Hmm no, just because. I love them tho! ❤ <<less

I honestly that this will have a lot of horror themes but there weren’t much, but they made sense because of the motivations behind the ones I’ve read so far. I like seeing more than a couple of characters that aren’t against the MC or the main couple themselves and I was pleasantly surprised that the MC wasn’t going to be coddled throughout and got the chance to “grow”.

It's such a good novel. It was interesting in reading a novel that came from an NPC's viewpoint. MC and ML have such a good relationship, good chemistry. ML is OP but only helps in times of crisis or whenever MC gets injured. MC is quite smart and learnt in analysing the setting. I'm surprised at how easily they can escape the virtual world like the rules didn't stop them. The author didn't describe how the rules choose these ppl in playing the games. Overall, it's a good novel but... more>> kind of expect a more exciting plot. <<less
