Description

Zhou Zhou is a dating game NPC, delivering warmth and blessings to players, able to kiss, hug, and lift them up, affectionately called “Little Sweet Porridge” by his mom fans.

Only one day, he crossed over into an interstellar holographic horror game.

Zhou Zhou: ?

Facing various horror scenes, NPC Zhou Zhou continued to diligently carry out his duties, delivering warmth and blessings, but the recipients seemed to be a bit off.

A resentful woman with disheveled long hair and a ghostly pale face with a bizarre smile appeared behind the player.

Zhou Zhou: “Your hair is messy, let me braid it for you.” He quickly braided two pigtails.

Resentful woman: ?

Zhou Zhou: “Your makeup is too white, not pretty. Let me reapply it for you!”

Seeing her beautiful self in the mirror, the resentful woman: …

A child ghost appeared punctually under the player’s bed at midnight, scaring a group of grown men so much that they huddled together trembling under the covers. But this time, he encountered Zhou Zhou.

Zhou Zhou: “Kids shouldn’t sleep under the bed. Wash your face and brush your teeth first, I’ll tell you a bedtime story, one I just learned.”

In the middle of the night, the child ghost ended up being frightened to tears by Zhou Zhou’s ghost story.

In the haunted castle, players were chased by monster limbs, with screams echoing throughout the room.

Only Zhou Zhou said seriously to the monster: “You dropped your hand, I picked it up for you. Your head shouldn’t be in the toilet, it won’t flush down.”

Players in the game all knew there was a top-level master, not only handsome but also able to get along harmoniously with the ghosts and monsters in the game, even succeeding in scaring these frightening ghosts to tears?

“Game Announcement: Caesar the Great and Zhou Zhou have become partners, let’s congratulate the newlyweds.”

Player: …Isn’t this supposed to be a horror game? Why can we get married?

The emperor of the interstellar empire stated: The game belongs to him, as do the characters.

This was pretty cute. I honestly liked this take on the horror game genre. There was a reason for the creation of the game, and a reason why so many people kept coming back to be scared out of their wits and/or killed repeatedly. I also felt the cute and fluffy MC + horror games really worked well together. MC had good character development, while maintaining the pure and sincere heart that garnered him so many friends and admirers. And this MC had a valid reason for being so naïve...... more>> he's an NPC from thousands of years in the past and has no common sense. Plus he's from a love dating game, whose goal is to have as many loves as possible. Oh the misunderstandings that caused lol.

My main gripe is that I feel there should be more to the story. Some topics were lightly touched, and then moved past. And some, we never get an answer to
Spoiler

Such as Zhou Zhou's lost and found memory...I have my theories about that

[collapse]
Overall a very light read. Not perfect, but good enough to make me laugh and I rarely got bored <<less

Being alone for such a long time is truly sad to imagine, especially when you are someone who enjoys interacting with and listening to others. Unfortunately, this is what happened to MC, an NPC who gained consciousness in a dating game where he constantly interacted with players but ended up completely alone after his game fell into obscurity.

Years later, in the interstellar era, MC sees people for the first time in a long while. However, as if a bucket of cold water has been poured over him, MC realizes the... more>> difference between himself and others. Fear, anxiety, and anguish envelop him in a whirlwind of feelings. But then he realizes that the worst thing that can happen to him is to be alone again, so he decides to enjoy what he has and worry about the rest when the time comes.

This novel not only offers an intriguing and adventure-filled plot but also significant character development. From the various dungeons to MC himself, everything is exciting to read. We not only see MC making friends and overcoming dungeons, but we also see him grow as he tries to understand and comprehend more about people and their different reactions and actions. After all, MC is essentially an AI created for dating. He can be intelligent and very attentive, but he remains unaware of many things, such as the difference between a lover and a friend. Because of this, the romance is not immediate; the author takes her time for MC to understand himself and his surroundings better before MC and ML come together.

I can't help but completely agree with the review that says this novel is very fresh and wholesome. Seeing an ML who considers everything that can affect his relationship with MC is the best part of the novels. It was truly comforting to read about an ML like Alvia and exciting to follow the adventures of an MC like our little Zhou Zhou. I definitely won't be able to forget them. <<less

Will wait to rate until I read it translated, so much can be missed with MTL. If I rated it now, it would probably be 3.5-3.8

This is a pretty cute junk food type of novel. The horror aspect is not even a little scary and the romance is the main focus in the later half.

MC was well written. He is naive, but is learning and growing. He is not shy with his emotions and learns quickly. Love confident shous. His approach to the dungeons was fun, I love horror novels... more>> where the MC is immune/friends with the scary monsters.

ML wasnt bad, I liked him. I could really feel that he loved MC. My favorite part though was when ML realizes that he is getting overly possessive of MC and works on himself to be better. This makes his jealous moments cute and funny.

The romance isn't too fast or too slow. The MC had to understand what love really is first. ML falls first and is completely head over heals, it's cute.

So why only 3.5 if I love the characters? The actual story was lacking. The author touches on many plot points and interesting story lines, but only gives a superficial overview.
Spoiler

as the previous reviewer states, MC's recovered memory is touched upon and quickly dropped, however the extras go into it. Not enough depth in my opinion, but at least it's something

[collapse]

*** Extra Spoilers (kind of long) ***

Spoiler

ML gets s**ked into a black hole during a Mecha battle when he was 15 and gets sent back into the past, to MC's time. He is raised in an orphanage and becomes friends with another orphan who convinces him to play this love game called Love Academy

There he meets MC and notices he is different from other NPCs. ML teaches MC about players, games and the real world and the 2 actually fall in love. ML thinks he is Zeus 🤣 ML goes into A.I. And creates Stickman aka their child (the real Zeus) who is sassy from the start.


Then ML disappears because the world is rejecting him. He goes back to the future and out the black hole, which causes him to forget about MC.

MC waits and waits for ML and Stickman (Zeus) goes out through the network exit that ML left, but MC refuses to leave in case ML comes back. He waits so long he forgets who exactly he is waiting for.

Stickman clones himself and learns a lot, but humans think he is a virus and attack him. Many of his clones are damaged, thus losing his memory of MC and he is named Zeus by the humans. They call a truce with Zeus and he helps humanity. He is fond of Love Academy when it's found and incorporates it into the game. The end is Zeus convincing grown up ML to test the Love Academy level.

I will read it again when all is translated and update my rating/review. <<less

Let's get this out of the way I want to know

... more>>
Spoiler

Wheres my damn wedding!? He even came out to the real world but there's no wedding

[collapse]

It was all fun and games till the extras hit me hard

Spoiler

MC waited for ML thounsands of years, omg I cant imagine how lonely felt

[collapse]

This novel is so fun to see MC learning and exploring this new world after being trapped for such a long time.

If wasn't scary at all, I thought I was reading inflinte flow but I am glad the mistake led me to read this novel.

It was fun, emotional and rewarding. Seeing MC happy also makes me happy

ML is OP, cool on the outsides , pure on the inside, amazing chemistry with MC. The contrast and the appreciation for each other. Love them both.

There's alot of interesting elements also in the game which is interesting and well thought out.

The plot of novel has such attraction because watching MC grow is a pleasure. We all strive to be pure and noble. MC is the embodiment of pure and good. <<less

The overall plot is good. It wasn't really scary like other UF that I read where I can actually picture out what the ghost looks like or how creepy the environment is, however the overall premise is pretty interesting that I didn't get bored reading it.

I love MC, he wasn't any damsel in distress. He's smart, capable, and adorable. And I love that ML was pretty different from the usual. I mean he still has a powerful background, but he wasn't really someone that will save MC in every situation.... more>> He lets MC do his things and helps when he thinks MC needs it. He was always beside MC, helping him in things that he might not be able to do especially because of his identity. He lets him grow in a way, to acquire the knowledge that he will need in the future as he's like a blank sheet of paper at first. Definitely one of the best ML out there.

The overall plot was satisfying, though the horror part wasn't. I was used to UF that pretty much have a good horror aspect so I wasn't used to this one. I also feel like other characters were quite slow? In solving the games. It's always the MC doing the work even though he has a teammate. Anyways, I still haven't read the extras so I will be leaving it to my Reading List 😔 <<less

Thank you, translator/s, for picking this up! Always a love. So, here are the things I liked about it.

  1. Arcs are not boring and not easy to predict.
  2. Characters are entertaining and memorable.
  3. Well-written main character, just lovable.
  4. There's character development.
  5. Main lead is not the usual domineering and icy as the emperor.
Overall, I really like it and I do recommend it.

The story is good. Every instance have unique plot. I like how MC progressed and learned the real world. ML is good and green flag type. However, too bad the romance is slow bcs MC don't understand what's the difference of friend, sibling, and lover relationship.

Btw, idk why when I read this, my expectation change from 'i want to read infinite flow story with interesting instances' to 'i want to read romance story with many fluffy interactions'. I feel stuffy bcs the romance is too slow. I'll read the rest... more>> of this story someday when my mood back. <<less

Considering the unlimited flow, AI, and horror tags I kinda expected more.

But the horror wasn't scary/creepy/gore there was no such atmosphere for the reader, the AI didn't seem like AI just a genius kid and smart rizzler, and the unlimited flow wasn't interesting. The first few games while ZZ was still just a player was ok but the games ZZ designed was a damper.

There are a lot of contradicting points that doesn't really make any sense and many plot holes because of some points that are made for convenience. Which... more>> includes a portion of the romance.

Spoiler

Like, according to ZZ's initial logic (pertaining to his loneliness) isn't he more likely to be most attached to Z rather than A who also logs out like everyone else. That's just one of the many plot holes but that's what bugged me most as I was very much looking forward to how the author would turn ZZ's and A's relationship into romance but that was a letdown.

And since I already put out a spoiler might as well add another that bugged me most; I can't make any sense of how the aliens/distant minorities, who are the horror NPCs hired in the games, supposed to change the humans' negative impression of their appearance and characteristics for the better if what they're doing is scaring them possibly creating trauma. That's what Mo Lan said is their motive anyway but it's like using scary stories to make children obedient but then making them scared until adulthood.

[collapse]

All in all, with the horror, AI, and unlimited flow tags being not very existent, whats left is romance to which is another combination of stoic-turned-henpecked gong X innocent-sunshine shou like any other.

1 star for the innocent-rizzler it hit my funny spot. <<less

I’m reading as this is translated, so my review is going to be less informed than the complete ones.

I’ve got high hopes for this novel! Our MC Zhou Zhou does teeter on that precipice of ‘naive’ and ‘idiot’ but as a basic AI made for a dating sim in the very distant past who accidentally became self aware, I’m willing to give him the space to grow, as he really wasn’t supposed to get this far in the first place. It’s been fun watching him learn and experience how people... more>> react to things, how he himself reacts to things, and how he SHOULD react to things.

Watching people fall in love with him is understandable and funny, because he was literally designed to be lovable and affectionate.

The lower stakes setting really helps keep the lighter and more comedic tone of the series, and for once the canonical world settings so far make me happy when his kindness has an impact on the instances he visits.

The ML so far is pretty funny in his paranoia and arrogance. He’s not possessive but also doesn’t seem to understand that the MC doesn’t know who he is.

The series also satisfies my love of angst, as our very cheery and simple minded MC has to deal with the reality that he’s not the same as normal people, and that he can’t even tell anyone. I’m looking forward to how it develops.

So far the instances aren’t anything special, but the difficulty seems reasonable. <<less

The humor is simple but funny. I laughed so much the entire time. It's... well it's a simple, fluffy and very healthy version of infinite game. I think this is the greenest, most veggie-healthiest version I've read so far. I love it, it's very cute and wholesome the entire way through. The MC is refreshing even though he's innocent. I don't feel annoyed by him. I really like the siblings; I think their dynamic and having them be sibling in the story is such a good choice.

Death isn't permanent, everyone... more>> treats it like a job or going for a run at the public park. It's for health. I find this revision of an infinite game quite new and refreshing? Of course there's the censorship but to be honest I think this was a pretty good novel considering all aspects of it.

The romance is sweet! At first it was fine, but then when they got together the ML becomes a pathetic wet cat male lead x openly affectionate and straight baller MC... it's suuuper good! I love this dynamic the most!! <<less

Idk not my cup of tea when they went to do an instance in water sea and the other instance where they took a girl or the arc where they tried mech battle game it was so BORING

I just used chatgpt to summarise these chapters because I could already tell they will succeed or become the best.

Love part was cute, but I am too lazy to pay for the rest Zhou Zhou is so cute, but I didnt like it how the author turned from nice to tsundere he is... more>> not a child..

What irked me was ML not being upset/confused that MC is not a real person but an npc HELLO a normal person couldnt accept this so fast

SIDE chatacters were funny but thats it no deep sadly.

Just giving 3.9 stars because he is cute without his cuteness I would have given a low two. <<less

Very good fun and emotionally introspective read, what I think really stands out are the MC and the well fleshed out side characters

PLOT : 5* MC is romance npc that gained sentience and is now hiding that while acting as a player in a horror game,

MC: 5* he's very sweet and still learning about the world, emotions, and himself; I think he has great characterization because he's naive but still smart, not a push over, and strong

ML : kind of your typical cold ML but without the toxic controlling... more>> abusive tendencies; idk if this is a spoiler but
Spoiler

ML is emperor who at first thinks MC is an undercover agent plotting against him

[collapse]

ROMANCE: slow to start but makes sense because the MC is still developing as a person

SIDE CHARACTERS: 5* have distinct endearing personalities, lives, and interconnected relationships outside of the MC's sphere of influence (they don't all feel like they exist for the mc)

HORROR: 1* not recommended if you are specifically looking for a horror story; it has horror elements (which contrast really well with the perspective of a romance npc lol) but nothing so far has been scary or creepy due to the perspective we get from the mc <<less
