This sounds quite fun. But I have a few questions about this competition. Does the story have to be already finished? Is it okay that I use my story from Webnovel that hasn't been contracted yet? And if so, how do I apply it for the competition? I'd appreciate it if these can be answered soon, and thanks again for letting me know about this!

Personally, I think it still depends on our own individual tastes. However I will introduce to you some key events that might interest you. Around 362 is when one of the major villains of this novel is introduced, but we still only get to see a small glimpse to how truly frightening he can be. But trust me this character becomes much more intimidating later on. One of the best things about this novel is that the villains are all clever and reserved. They aren’t your typical arrogant/stupid/careless antagonists. 375-380 is when Klein starts to demonstrate his own personal capabilities as a Beyonder. 470 is when the plot REALLY starts to thicken and it enters into the climax of the current volume. It’s also one of the most exciting and thrilling moments in the novel for me. It’s quite a sudden twist, but after this I find that the story becomes far more engaging. From ch 483 (volume 4) and onwards (into the other volumes) is when Klein gets to be more proactive and badass in the Beyonder world. We get to see him climb higher in the sequences and become more combat proficient and capable. He also starts to slowly uncover more secrets of this strange new world and understand the true hidden dangers of becoming a Beyonder, as well as the reason for his transmigration. Hope this can help! ;)

To each their own. It really is heavily dependent on one’s own tastes. The entire story line is centred around mysticism. The whole “power system” isn’t really supposed to be like the other Chinese web novels on this site. And sure, the money thing can be considered a bit off putting for others, but considering the context of the era in the novel, it isn’t something that can be helped. Not to mention that the higher sequences will require far more risks than simply buying ingredients but you’ll have to read more to find out later. In the early stages it might appear simple and easy, but it becomes much more dangerous after Sequence 5. In the further parts of the novel, every major character (including Audrey) will have to go through their own personal struggles, some more than others. I will admit that Audrey doesn’t seem to often be in as much danger as the main character, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that she will be a Mary Sue. Again, this is in the later parts of the novel. Remember, the whole novel itself is mainly about mystery and Lovecraftian Horror. It’s a story that isn’t meant to be very straightforward, and the main character is often trying to discover ancient secrets that are buried within the history of this world. You might not like it, and that’s fine, but to most others it is very engaging for the kind of story it is meant to be.

Thank you! This was quite informative.
