【A new work from the author of 'The Author's POV'!】

I hate horror.

From the skittering sounds of footsteps racing behind me, to the soft yet unnervingly cold whispers curling around my ears...

All of it. I hate it.

So much so that I start puking whenever I reach a certain threshold.

And yet, I am a Horror Game Developer.

A crappy one at that.

So, given my lack of ability, I decided to quit.

And yet...

[Congratulations, you've been selected for the Horror Game Developer System!]

Nope, I don't want it.

Let me quit.

※ Note : Your world might experience some changes. But don't worry! It's part of the game!

***

This is a story about a game developer who hates horror, but has no choice but to develop games scary enough to traumatize people.

You want to curse me for making you piss your pants?

If that's the case, who do I curse?

An SCP inspired story with its own twist! Collapse

    A fairly good novel. I honestly didn’t even realize this was a English novel (not that it’s a bad thing but haven’t had many experiences reading them) at first due to how good it captured the vibe of a Korean or Chinese novel.

    That being said it’s a horror novel but wouldn’t say it has many parts of horror as it’s more focused on other stuff. Not a bad thing but it does suck when the horror game parts are there that much.

    There were parts which I didn’t like about the novel or felt like quitting but I pushed through and don’t regret it. Liked the mc but he seems to have gone a bit
    later on to the point it brought the mood down I’ll admit.

    It reminded me a lot of my house of horror and got dropped in a ghost story early on but soon became its own thing.

    Good read as it has some substance to it but more so id say it’s to pass the time with a pretty good read that Isn’t just all fulfillment.

    B+

    I think if you've read Got Dropped Into A Ghost Story Still Gotta Work, this work might be for you (id know, I've read both), they start similarly but branch out!

    The most interesting part of this book ( to me ) is the monsters and (idk remember the name they used, I think rift?)! The main character goes through a lot of developments and honestly Its a bit funny where he is at during the latest chapter of when I wrote this (642).

    Yeah, just try it for a few hundred chapters and you will probably understand what I mean.

    For those who have read the description, but not the genres, a reminder: There is a romance tag, though it hasn't been present (not even at chapter 642)

    Review as of chapter 626

    Honestly, I will recommend anyone who has not read this to atleast give it a try. The story is more of a thriller than a horror but is entertaining nonetheless. I have been reading new chapters every day since like 350-400 chapter. I really like the whole concept of story and found it pretty fresh compared to the usual. The thing which I don't like is that sometimes it just feels like stuff happened which doesn't really make sense cuz the author wanted to write a particular storyline. These instances feel forced and feel like they came out of nowhere. I was a bit disappointed by the whole jester arc due to this. The worldbuilding is also non-existent apart from the barebone structure. Apart from that, it's pretty good.

      Huh? What's wrong with the Jester arc? Nothing about it seemed really that forced. At least to me, it seemed pretty logical. Maybe I'm wrong.

        I just didn't find the whole consciousness switching thing with the clone and Kyle being revived as a anomaly that convincing.

          So, i think the consciousness switch is very likely becaues of the abilities of one of the anomalies that he took the power from. Given that Seth is in the Guild he knows the abilities of all the anomalies there. I'm sure they have a log, hence why he knew he could do it.

          For Kyle, his node was being broken by the demon, which resulted in him suffering from the exact thing as Seth. Cus Seth was just on the verge of becoming one. That's how he turned into a 'spirit', which i still don't know what it is

          I do agree with world building, but this is first pov so I don't mind it too much.

            I mean taking control of someone's mind and just straight up perma taking control of someone mind and leaving your body to rot is a different thing but I get what you mean.

    4.8
    Story development: 4.7* (a few minor flaws, and a few chapters have a bit of a strange pacing)

    Writing quality: 4.8* (not the best you will find out there, but the way some turn of events is written makes it very close to a 5 imo)

    World background: 3.4* (the only thing thats considerably lacking at the moment, hope it gets better in the future so that I can change my rating to a higher one)

    Character design: 4.6* (would be lower if not for the character development of the Mc in chapters 430 onwards)

    This story is simply too good to skip, there are so many unexpected events and small details the author puts into the story that simply combines perfectly with the plot. Sure there are one or another thing I would like to see writen differently, some characters are a bit annoying and some are forgettable but overall this is a astounding work, best horror story I have ever read. It’s in between a A+ to S- novel for me, hopefully if the world background is developed further the rating can increase.

    Review up to chapter 458.

        In the site the lowest is 1, in my evaluation it goes down to 0, altho I think I only rated 1 novel so far with such a low grade.
