Ah, as the current number 1 ranked book on the Chinese website, this should be interesting. Of course, keep in mind that this is around Halloween too. I'm not worried about the quality of the translation or the stability of the updates. The translator, LonelyTree, can single-handedly cause webnovel to go bankrupt, because all he does is breathe and eat translations. If they have to pay him in full before any books get published for readers out there, he'll clean them out first. I kid you not, he even poo** out translations. With such single-minded dedication and focus, and combined with the fact that Millman is editing this piece of work, we should be in for a fast and steady ride. As far as chapter 1 is concerned, the goals and motivations of the main character is clear early on. Though we don't know much about his character, we know that he sticks for those who are on his side, and that he's a sentimental person. He holds on to whatever remnants he has left of those dear to him, and tries his best to keep onto those memories. Little is known about this world yet, except that it's located in a place like modern-day earth. Cell phones exists. There's an app. Haunted houses, surveillance cameras, lightbulbs, and the likes. If it looks like Earth, smells of earth, and has an uncle who comes around trying to collect debts, it probably is on Earth. But... there's now a twist. The twist is this House of Horrors. Lets go into a little bit about the main character: Due to his parent's mobile Haunted House business, Chen Ge traveled quite a bit when he was young. When kids were playing with blocks, he had fake human heads. Doesn't that sound like a lovely childhood? Half a year ago, Chen Ge lost his parents. Now, I may have missed about how old he was, but I don't think it was mentioned. All we know is that he has gone to college, something logically-structured base, like Engineering and Toy Design. Like, he couldn't find them anymore—they mysteriously disappeared in the middle of an abandoned hospital. What were they doing out there? Why did they disappear? With nothing left behind except for a cellular phone, a doll, and their haunted house, Chen Ge came and took over the now-ownerless haunted house. Right as his business is about to go under, he discovers that he can view the 'house's status' and that the house can issue 'daily quests'. How's this story going to turn out? What kind of quests were issued to his parents and why would they disappear? Is this going to be a "cultivate your house" system? What kind of scary scenes are going to show up? Would those scenes end up being illusory? Or would they be actually enacted in real life with the "customers"? Beats me. I've only read chapter 1. Lets find out together.
