The blurb doesn’t even match the amateurly written story . Lost interest with in first few chapters
Good read, just the last few chapters out of order. I can't wait for more chapters to be published
I hate when people abuse someone
well I think this book would be loved by people who love ghosts and thrillers. I for one love the fact that the book has humour so the book isn't way too serious. 5stars from me??
Excellent and captivating novel.
Okay so let me just say this — the way this chapter sets up the entire revenge arc is *chef's kiss*. Gu Nanci walking into that studio and literally mouthing "Get lost" to Gu Xiao? I SCREAMED. Like, this is the moment where the plot shifts from "oh poor victim" to "oh shit, she's actually the predator now." The confrontation scene is perfectly constructed. First, we get the buildup — Gu Xiao's internal monologue about how unfair it all is, how Gu Nanci is "just the child of a lowly woman." Classic villain self-sabotage right there. Then Gu Nanci doesn't even stand up. She just... waits. Lets him come to her. And when he grabs her collar, she flicks his wrist like she's swatting a fly. The power dynamic has completely flipped and the text makes you FEEL it. But here's what really got me — the line: "I should have been at the place you arranged, waiting to be photographed in compromising positions and ruined, right?" This is the first time we get a concrete glimpse of what happened in the past life. The framing attempt. The betrayal. It's dropped casually into a whisper but it carries the weight of an entire backstory. And then immediately after: "Don't worry, this is just the beginning. How does it feel to have your dreams shattered?" The plot is moving at a ruthless pace. Every scene advances either the revenge storyline or the competition storyline or both simultaneously. Fu Zhi noticing Gu Nanci and marking her for "special attention" is a great subplot seed — it sets up industry recognition as a future conflict vector. And the fact that Gu Nanci's three trending topics just skyrocketed the show's popularity? That's plot mechanics at its finest. The story is using real-world logic (social media virality) to drive narrative momentum. The only thing I'm slightly worried about is whether the revenge plot will get too one-sided. Gu Xiao is already being thoroughly dismantled. But then again, the text mentions "the pain from those solid dozen blows still lingered all over her body" — so the physical cost is real. The plot isn't letting her off easy. I respect that.
The dialogue in this book is genuinely exceptional. Each character has a voice so distinct that I can tell who's speaking without looking at the tags. Lin Xitang's dialogue is all sharp edges and commands. "Xu Zhizhi—! How many times have I told you to put away the autumn clothes?" "Forget it, forget it." "Alright, get up and walk around a bit." She speaks in bursts, with exclamation points doing heavy lifting. Even her internal monologue is aggressive—"What a lunatic" after Zhou Che suggests booking the entire restaurant. Zhou Che is the opposite. Lazy, drawling, almost amused by everything. "Wife, keep an eye on our little girl." "The little girl hasn't grown much taller, drink more milk." His dialogue is minimal but loaded with implication. He says less than anyone but controls more of the emotional temperature in every scene. Xu Zhizhi's voice is the hardest to capture and the author nails it. Short, flat, almost robotic. "No." "Mhm." "I haven't grown taller." But then there are these moments where her voice cracks through—"!" when Zhou Che insults her, or the internal scream when the junior keeps talking. The contrast between her external silence and internal chaos is where the comedy lives. And the narrative voice! It's omniscient but deeply embedded in Xu Zhizhi's perspective, with occasional jumps to other characters' thoughts. The humor comes from this gap between how Xu Zhizhi sees herself (a delicate creature who can't handle normal life) and how everyone else sees her (a terrifying academic monster who once studied sixteen hours a day). The author's use of dialogue tags is also noteworthy—mostly absent. Actions and context carry the meaning. This makes the dialogue feel natural, like eavesdropping on real people.
Warning to all readers: Our two protagonists do not meet in person until Chapter 71.
Get some snacks and settle in for a long story. There is a lot more going on than the bathtub scene we all desperately want (and were promised by the title).
Summary: A young novelist from the 21st century receives a mysterious game he initially believes to be a cute cub-raising simulation. However, it turns out to be a sci-fi/horror adventure game. Even more surprisingly, the game depicts real events from the far future, and the "cub" he is raising is actually another player—a sci-fi era general who first experienced these events and is now reliving them as part of exposure therapy. The two slowly bond in the game as they work together to uncover the true mysteries behind the events that unfolded in those years.
