I'm leaving a revised review for this novel because after being explained certain things that I had misunderstood I felt like I should fix my review, but I can't edit that one so here's a new review. The setting is very interesting for a horror novel, webnovel doesn't have this tag but I would refer to this as a psychological novel than a horror one. Writing for a horror genre is already difficult but writing for a psychological genre is even more tough. And after realising that what I had misunderstood as overly convoluted writing was the authors intentional writing style (for the first chapter). I thought about it occasionally for several days and came back once in a while to re-read the first chapter. My conclusion: considering the plot (I know of) so far in this novel, the writing style is very fitting. It is my fault for misunderstanding it. The author was very polite to me, so for this review I will show the same politeness to the author by not giving a low rating. But that doesn't mean that I no longer have some of the problems I had before. Based on those things my rating of this novel would be 2.5 to 3 out of 5. I still don't like the characters very much because they all seem somewhat off which makes sense since this is tagged as a horror novel but also doesn't make sense cause all of them work for the mental health department. I said this before as well that maybe all of these people are patients who are delusional and this story is portrayed from their perspective, based on their imagination. But this is just a theory I came up, its not a factual statement or an actual foreshadowing. For me in some areas common sense is completely ignored. Usually horror stories, movies and shows have parts where the characters forget to use their common sense. But in the novel our MC, who we don't even know much about, is suddenly becoming the head of a department regarding mental health. Especially when he was once a patient admitted to the asylum. I made a suggestion that the reader should be given some insight about the MC's qualifications and his general life before he is convicted for arson. But that was just MY suggestion, the author should write their story however they like. All of this stuff is merely my opinion. After being explained several things I felt very guilty for coming off as too strong or forceful. Everyone is allowed to disagree and in the end I just want to say the author should write what the authors feels is best, because this is their work and anything I say will just be my opinion.

Thank you for your revising of the review. Indeed, I'd say that this is more of a psychological novel, but you have to choose from what you can. Anyway, thanks for coming by again.

No problem. After you pointed out some of the things I had misunderstood I thought about them. I didn't come back to change anything right away, so that I could return with a fresh mind. In my opinion the genre system on webnovel is not one of their best features. I hope they make changes to it soon!
