Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.The hearse with the weird odor slowed to a stop before the entrance. The sound of pebbles could be heard bouncing on the ceiling. There were footsteps coming from the corridor, and there seemed to be someone sawing next door. The door knob to the room rattled slightly, and the faucet in the bathroom kept dripping even though it had been screwed shut. There was a rubber ball that rolled on its own underneath the bed. Wet footsteps started to surface one after another on the floor.
At 3 am, Chen Ge held a cleaver in his hand as he hid beside the room heater. The call he was trying to make was finally answered. “Landlord, is this what you meant by ‘the house can be a little crowded at night’‽”

Well ranked on Chinese sites, and official print novels were apparently on sale as of June 2019. Edit / Potential Problem:
Just a heads up, the novel was temporarily banned/taken off/censored by the Chinese authorities... apparently because supernatural/ghost themes are frowned upon in Chinese media. It was reinstated under the premise that author provide "scientific explanations"... I don't wanna jinx it but I doubt the novel can maintain it's level of quality after chapter 600++.
A gutsy young man inherits a haunted house attraction and cell phone after his parents mysteriously disappeared. He struggles to find clues behind their disappearance while trying to make the enterprise profitable, and slowly discovers a hidden supernatural world that "levels up" his haunting prowess. CHARACTERS
Protagonist is a plucky, street-smart youth with a background in engineering. He's got a good head for science but is open-minded to the spiritual world. You can't help but root for the guy as he's forced to go through horror scene after horror scene to "level up", while armed with nothing but bravado, wits and hilarious quips. Better yet, he's surrounded by a cast of genuinely interesting humans/spirits, all complete with their own backstories, character dispositions and motivations. Even the numerous villains he faces are well-detailed from all walks of life!
A psychotic arsonist is driven to mu*der due to fear of abandonment. A beautiful ballerina commits su*cide in an act of desperation. Goddamn dolls everywhere!
(1) Genius premise
The reason why horror works so well in games and novels is that the player/reader has real agency.
You make the choice to turn the page, go down that creepy corridor that will ultimately kill you, or put you face-to-face with grotesque exploding babies (Dead Space, anyone?).
In "My House of Horrors", the MC is similarly given real choices via the system, aka Choose-Your-Own-Adventure-style. He, and the readers, are forced to go through grueling heart-thumping situations and investigate supernatural mysteries while constantly weighing risks-rewards.
What could POSSIBLY go wrong to undertake a mission to hold your breath under water at 344AM in a haunted house while a mu*derous spirit is clawing outside the bathroom door??
Given all the kingdom-building novels out there, how hard can it be to build a Horror-themed-Disneyland? =)
Any good horror novel fleshes out the environment with sufficient detail while leaving enough to the reader's imagination. And the author got this down in spades.
You can figuratively hear the clawing on the door that separates you from a vengeful spirit, the screams of the dying in their final hours, and the slow descent to madness of the clinically insane. Holy sh*t-snacks!
Phone buzzing with messages...
"Are you there?"
"Are you there?"
"ARE YOU THERE??"
Visitors in the haunted house attraction discover an old notebook ...
"I'm sorry.. I shouldn't have gotten close to you. I just wanted to help pick up the ball.."
"Teacher, I didn't mean to get my clothes wet. Nobody bullied me, it was my mistake."
"Dad, I promise I'll work hard, please stop beating me.."
"I'm sorry, I don't know why my smile annoys people, I won't do it again.."
"I'm sorry.. I'm sorry.. sorry"
A masked lady narrates a story..
"Let me tell you a story about my wife.
She's four years younger than me and works as a midnight radio host, so she's often back late. Shortly after we got married, I used to leave dinner out for her but I'd find the food untouched the next morning. Oddly enough, the cooking utensils appears to be used. At first I thought she didn't like my cooking and didn't think much of it...
Over the next few nights, I heard sounds in the kitchen and noticed someone was cooking with the lights off. She was holding blocks of meat and a kitchen knife... it looked like braised pork, but who makes that in the middle of the night?...
I love her, but it's starting to creep me out...
One night I hid in a corner and heard the sounds of teeth tearing into flesh.. munch munch
I stayed awake. When she slept beside me, she looked so beautiful. I noticed her belly looked a little swollen and hesitated to kiss her.. maybe it's just her idiosyncrasies, but I still love her.
I looked through the tr*sh bags outside.. at first it was just chicken bones. I'm amazed she could finish an entire chicken! Then it was fish. Then a dog, a cat...
As with generational horror, the novel is a serious reflection of current social issues that plague us with anxieties. Post 9/11 (torture p*rn), an increasingly alienated/polarized society (xenophobia), domestic abuse (what goes on behind the walls?), gender equality (vengeful victims of misogyny), school/online bullying (social media, cell phone culture, etc)... the list goes on. It also pulls in horror elements from ALL cultures, which is just amazing. Japanese high school horror, gruesome fairy tales, chinese mythology, western urban legends, shamanism, etc. And all with a healthy dose of factual research on the psychological triggers that help make haunted houses... well horrifying. (4) Kudos to the author
It may be hard for English readers to get full access to author's notes unless you read Mandarin Chinese (since Qidian freebies stop at Chapter 100), but let's just take a moment to appreciate the hard work the author put into this novel.
There's a reason why the author's pen-name is "I-fix-air-conditioners", because those were the odd-jobs he had to do to survive before writing this novel. That's passion right there.
My biggest gripe with the fiction is how the author abandoned his best story element. I'm talking about nightmare missions and Chen Ge's livestreaming haunted houses. When those were a thing, I would give story a 4/5 maybe even a 4.5/5. Currently I would give the story a 2/5 because the charm is completely gone.
My second biggest gripe is the repetitive nature of the fiction. After stripping away nightmare missions and livestreaming, Chen Ge basically expands his haunted house by surviving a real haunted house, then he gets challenged by a neighboring theme park or some c*cky tourists. They come into his new house and get scared into fainting. This cycle has repeated about 5 times.
I would definitely recommend you read this. It's great and I think you should just read until it gets boring. Honestly, I don't mind the type that gets boring like this. At least now I'm not going crazy for a sequel that will never happen. I just have a clean break where the book repeated itself into mediocrity.
Edit
Finally went back to read more. I'm probably dropping it for good after this though. There are only another 70 chapters to wrap up the whole series and that just doesn't feel like enough to me. So rather than watch a butchered and rushed ending, I'm just going to stop here. I was forcing myself to read at this point anyways.
There's like 3 major plots I was looking forward to being developed and 70 chapters is not enough for one of them, forget all three. That's just major plots. There are countless minor plots I was looking forward to. It seems to me the author has written themself into a corner because he turned the series into pokemon for ghosts and dropped all the good plot lines. So I'm going to call it here.
+The plot is awesome well writted, everything linkes and makes sense, even with a lot of mistery all time, nothing is forgotten or badly resolved, I cant even fathom how the author can keep so much mistery having to release almost daily chapters on qidian, and the best, every misteries is nice written and reasonable resolved.
+There is a lot of good comedy in this novel, but in the right times, there is not a forced comedy moment. In a Horror focused novel, to have a nice comedy step is hard, but this one did it well.
+There is deepness and complexity in everything, all the way the author hints more deepness in his mistery, so there is nothing simple or shallow, a lot of things are linked. PLEASE READ IT, THIS IS SO f*ckING GOOD!!!!
