The First Boss of Horror Tales

Description

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

The third year spiritual energy was revived, humanity got swept into a real-life game of oddities, 《Folklore》.
The game randomly extracted from strange stories for its quests: If won, the quest’s boss would turn into a guardian deity, holding back all sorts of evils; If failed, the oddities would completely revive, and the area implicated in the quest would completely fall to enemy occupation!

As it had impact,
The players participating in the quest and the stream audience hated idiots who were burdens the most.

Unfortunately, when a disaster-level quest got unlocked, matched into the quest, was this,
Silver-grey long-haired, pessimistic, sickly, when others fought he slept, when others ran he showered
No matter how much more good-looking they were, it could not conceal that “I don’t want to live, everyone die with me” kind of anti-social air

When his data was pulled up:
24k pure newbie.

Everyone’s eyes went dark, GDI, this isn’t even enough for a bite for the boss!

Yet no one knew, Wei E once was drawn into a different, much higher-dimension UF world
Over there, there would be a small quest every three days, and one big quest every five. Each quest would be stifled with a manic hopelessness, driving people to their deaths. No player was able to hang on for three years, and Wei E was the first who had a chance to live past three years—— after he bombed the Creator.

When the Creator’s space was collapsing
Wei E reminisced these three years of endless fighting for his life, and strongly vowed: If there was a next life, he would definitely not get mixed in it again!

Once Wei E opened his eyes, he returned to the familiar blue planet
But before he could get excited, he discovered…… the Creator followed him out too : )
—-

That day the hunting grounds got destroyed, the Creator vowed there would be one day he would kill that insolent ant
When Wei E occasionally brushed his teeth and looked up, he could see the mirror written with: “After one hundred days, I will definitely kill you.”

By the fiftieth day [left], a player confessed to Wei E.
By the thirtieth day, Wei E made it to first place in 《Folklore’s》most charming guy.
By the tenth day, the quest boss threw themselves on him.
By the fifth day, third day, each day, there would be people on the forums calling themselves Wei E’s dog.

On the final day, the Creator really grabbed Wei E’s throat, with his voice dark and frenzied: “I said, I would kill you sooner or later.”

However, seeing Wei E’s wearily curled lips, He thought, I perhaps should change the method.
For example, beneath his body.
————

When Wei E solved the first disaster-level quest, there were still people who felt it was a mere coincidence.
But when each and every one of the disaster-level continuously got cracked, life got brought back from death, they then shockingly discovered, that was not a coincidence, but hope that would make even spent clay revivify.

And in this absurd, despairing world, he was the walking——
#1 boss!

I've been a long-time reader of unlimited flow and horror for a long time. I've also read most of the books on unlimited flow and games and let me tell you, this is a gem. First review and it would be this one, rather than a more popular or completed book. Any of those books are good, but this one has a different storyline you can see from the beginning. It has mixtures of "I became a god in a Horror game", "The Earth is Online", and "Thriller Trainee". All... more>> are great books to read but from the few chapters translated right now, you can see a really good plot and suspense. The book isn't completed but it's worth it, would even MTL more because it's so good. Hope the translator turns it into a main project soon! Thank you for what you do 😊

Main Characters:

From the synopsis, it's already interesting as the MC Wei E already experienced an infinite world and just wants to go back to his original one. But the main god came out with him? Now that's new. It kind of describes what happened in that infinite world before and shows the MC's feelings but other than that, right now there isn't a lot. Wei E after getting out of the infinite world shows a realistic view. Not OP right away and solving things by the second. It shows what happened to him and how it affected him, with him not trying to act all fine and accepting support. He isn't all perfect and shows it.

ML has not appeared so hope we see him soon. (Will edit when more chapters come out)

Games:

The setup is really interesting with different levels and different games around the world. You can see that the world-building is good plus the games are inspired by the province and folktales.

Characters:

Right now, the characters outside the MC have personalities and most have a background. Seeing that, some probably won't be insignificant and shows the author puts in effort to develop and provide a background for the characters.

Recommendation: Would recommend it, even though it isn't completed! <<less

??? Am I missing something, but writing not good at all? There is a lot of random events with random solutions and only then given explanation why this solution works, or why this event is happening. For example, boss randomly attacks MC, MC randomly buys a item that helps, and then we given explanation why item works. Was it hard to write a setup and payoff? I am not gonna be surprised if next moment aliens show up, because with book logic anything can be explained afterwards. And there is... more>> not enough exposition or explanations, that why author can write any random thing, because nothng was established.

My second problem - plot holes. MC was in bad health condition and can't even walk himself, but if he dies monsers will be strengthened, why his teammates didn't give him medicine from the start? Like his "holy father" teammate was OK to give him a high lvl weapon for his ptotection, but gave him medicine only after he was even more injured. (but after taken it, MC can walk, so what was the point not to give it from the start???) Was medecine rare or cost a lot? he cannot improve his health? Not enough information again.

And third point - author more focused how beautiful MC is, from 15 chapters I know how thin his waist, how white his skin, how red his lips, how sexy he is when weak... but not much about his character? It feels very superfitial. I don't get why it has high rating, not my thing, I guess. <<less

I've only read until chapter 13 of the novel since jjwxc locked the other chapters exclusively for VIP members. Hopefully, in the future the translator can translate more than the chapters I've read so far, but since there are no reviews published yet, here's my take of the novel:

Story:

It's good so far. It has the typical plot of "Main Character transported into a mission-related instance that may or may not involve Live Streaming but has a mysterious past on why he's so smart, powerful and strong and face-slaps every cannon... more>> fodder that underestimates him". Although that statement may be confusing, it's somewhat true. (*cough* Super Natural Movie Actor APP *cough* A Crowd of Evil Spirits....)

Characters:

The Characters aren't one dimensional. They have clear distinctive personalities that help distinguish them from each other, not realistic personalities though, but temperaments that help show that the novel cares about it's characters.

The Main Characters:

I'm surprised how so far I've read there's barely any out of the ordinary thing the MC has done. Aside from his unordinary appearance, naming the exact places around him and that one time he came out of the blood-shield-test first, he hasn't really done anything that surprises the other Characters or do something OP, which I really like. Don't get me wrong I LOVE strong protagonists, but it's really not logical expecting MC to be fully-powered after his fight in the last world with the LG. The ML meanwhile, I'm pretty sure hasn't appeared yet so I have no opinion of him up to this point.

Overall, 4.4/5. <<less

I agree with Rakutau's review, the MC, Wei E, seemingly encounters situations where he would conveniently get the necessary stuff to clear the dungeon, clues seemingly attracted to him, and monsters would target his ass. However, the more I read I can somehow.... rationalize it????

Wei E (Protagonist)

He was imposed a condition or a condition wherein he automatically pulls the aggro on all the monsters in it. He is not very OP as you'd imagine him to be. Yes he is strong, but he carefully analyzes the situation before him... more>> and struggled countless of times with the monsters (especially that ONE monster) as he deals with the special condition the system gave him.

Yes there are plot holes. The MTL was a bit hard to read and understand but it is doable.

I can't give any reason as to why he always stumble upon the right prop to trigger a hidden branch line story or conveniently get the prop needed to further progress the story except that it is a plot device by the author lol.

His appearance gives off an intimidating aura, he won't hesitate to get his way, one way or another. But he always returns favors and is pretty cute.

I love Wei E so much, I wished the author didn't mention how his silver hair stood out, how red his lips are and his eyes in every paragraph.

Him as a character is charming and I love his scuffles with *redacted*.

*redacted* (Male Lead, ???)

Spoiler

The Lord God that followed him from the previous infinite world. We met him in the first instance but a bit later into the story. He is bloodthirsty, he doesn't care about humans, he calls Wei E 'ant'. When I found out that he's the male lead, I was a bit mad. Wei E deserved better than someone who constantly puts him in danger and broke the current infinite game's barrier (?) And occupy the first instance's boss only to kill him.

I was sceptical whether romance could bloom. But so far i've been treated to SO MANY unresolved s*xual tension. Whenever these two are in screen, there will be blood, blood-sucking, threats of eating, threats of enjoying the other's pain while holding each other and in an ambiguous pose.

*redacted* or Shen Lang (??) (There's a rule where you cannot say, hear or see his full name, or any other God's name as it is a taboo.) Is super possessive and he likes.... Wei E's neck so much lmaoo. More semi-strangling than hand holding istg.

And this UST is seen by Wei E's team so... way to go lovebirds we don't need to hear Shen Lang saying Wei E's mouth could be used in many other ways, one of them would be moaning in pain ugh.

And also.... lots of kabedon HAHA.

[collapse]

Supporting Characters

Xie Yuanzhen:

MY BOYYYY OUR DAY ONEEEEE!!!!! He is a true Holy Father aaaaaaa! He is strong tooo sobs I love him for always being there for Wei E. Wei E still uses the knife that XYZ gave him and I always smile when Wei E mentions the knife every now and then.

Xie Yuanzhen is so endearing. He is selfless I could say (for now). He is a taoist who is super aware of the things around him and notices strange things that our MC also notices. He was a beacon of light before MC's appearance and still is even after. He's very rational and his words are able to bring relief to his team. I give a big kiss to u XYZ♡!

Others:

Other than XYZ, Tang Qin and Chen Cheng are cute. I'm not gonna lie to you folks, they are not very impressive. But eh, maybe because I haven't gotten to the meat of the story yet!

System, Game Mechanics and World Building:

It reminds me so much with The Earth is Online with how they didn't really get dragged into another world but more how those worlds invade ours. If you fail to clear these instances, it will manifest in real life and create a forbidden are for humans to live as the legends and myths came alive.

It is interesting! I love it so much and a breath of fresh air too. I love seeing the way the world respond to these events and it has a livestteam mechanic too, so the reactions of these viewers are so entertaining hahaha.

The instances are hard, you have to struggle, observe and alert. A lot of ordinary people that got dragged into the instance die often. Mortality rate is high, so people like Xie Yuanzhen, Tan Qing, Wei E, Chen Cheng, and others who survive these instances are worthy of respect and awe. It is so hard that half of the players are more likely to be wiped out in the first hour.

I love how it didn't make it easy for our MC too.

Okay that's it, thank you for coming to my TedTalk!

In conclusion; recommended for a light read accompanied by a badass song. (And if you dont mind the plot holes!) <<less

It's not bad for a horror unlimited flow bl, but the ML (?) sucks. I'd rather the MC somehow get strong enough to kill him. No really. From what he's shown so far, I don't see how this guy can ever deserve love from MC, so any ending where they get together is just going to make me sad, like a story where the abuser wins.

The arcs are full of interesting cultural references & I appreciate the MC & side characters a lot. Just hate the ML. At least the... more>> romance (?) is extremely slow, so I can just pretend it doesn't exist. <<less
