There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

``` Entering the world of the Scripted Murder Game isn't scary. Playing the role of the murderer is still doable. Playing the role of the victim is fine. Playing the role of a girl is manageable. Even if you have to deal with dark, strange monsters, and accidentally get tainted by them, it's no big deal. Shuo looked at the script in his hand and felt that he could still play the part! … But after adding a bunch of teammates with mental issues, he felt that he couldn't go on acting. This script is a bit off too! Shuo, "Can we not have a murderer, a victim, a girl, or psychos, and just have a normal person?" … —————— 【Non-traditional Scripted Murder Mystery Game】【Attention: The plot will gradually shift from normal to bizarre, focusing on tasks. Each Scripted Murder Game script is original, not fan-made. Non-original scripts will be indicated.】【Ensemble cast, with undercovers, role-playing, disguises, no female lead.】 ```

Hayle Coven Novels

I’m an international, multiple award-winning author with a passion for the voices in my head. As a singer, songwriter, independent filmmaker and improv teacher and performer, my life has always been about creating and sharing what I create with others. Now that my dream to write for a living is a reality, with over a hundred titles in happy publication and no end in sight, I live in beautiful Prince Edward Island, Canada, with my giant cats, pug overlord and overlady and my Gypsy Vanner gelding, Fynn. ***WORLD'S BEST STORY2014*** Her mom's a witch. Her dad's a demon. And she just wants to be ordinary. I batted at the curl of smoke drifting off the tip of my candle and tried not to sneeze. My heavy velvet cloak fell in oppressive, suffocating folds in the closed space of the ceremony chamber, the cowl trapping the annoying bits of puff I missed. I hated the way my eyes burned and teared, an almost constant distraction. Not that I didn't welcome the distraction, to be honest. Anything to take my mind from what went on around me. Being part of a demon raising is way less exciting than it sounds. Sydlynn Hayle's teen life couldn't be more complicated. Trying to please her coven is all a fantasy while the adventure of starting over in a new town and fending off a bully cheerleader who hates her are just the beginning of her troubles. What to do when delicious football hero Brad Peters--boyfriend of her cheer nemesis--shows interest? If only the darkly yummy witch, Quaid Moromond, didn't make it so difficult for her to focus on fitting in with the normal kids despite her paranormal, witchcraft laced home life. Add to that her crazy grandmother's constant escapes driving her family to the brink and Syd's between a rock and a coven site. Forced to take on power she doesn't want to protect a coven who blames her for everything, only she can save her family's magic. If her family's distrust doesn't destroy her first.

Mystery Paradise: Wishing Power Demon

New novel by Er Mu, author of 《Release That Witch》! The best fantasy online novel you absolutely can't miss in 2024! ------ Chaoyang had lived an unremarkable life for over twenty years, but then a sudden "awakening" disrupted his life—he awoke to become a demon from legend, sustained by wishing power. The bad news was that wishing power was hard to come by in this world. The good news was that he managed to open a gateway to another world, teeming with wishing power, just before starving to death. The bad news was that most of the wishing power already had owners. The good news was that no one understood making wishes better than he did. At first, Chaoyang simply responded to prayers to survive, but as he grew in strength, he turned it into an industry. And the place where many wishes could be fulfilled came to be known as "Paradise".

Good story very cool I like that the story is based in an MMORPG type setting, just like the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV! With an expanded free trial which you can play through the entirety of A Realm Reborn and the award winning Heavensward expansion up to level 60 for free with no restrictions on playtime!!! I also like that the MC is a "kissless virgin", an obvious self insert of the author.

I’ll give you 5 stars. Most Modern writers really don't know how to tell a story especially one that involves important historical locations like The Silver Bullet —no matter how much research they do— so the success of the series boils down to the author’s ability to create a convincing illusion. Saint Zema overcomes this challenge with great writing skill in this fast paced, thrilling and critically acclaimed novel

Translation is okay, also you posted ch 1 twice. I've read this before, and I must say this is one of the more realistic start among CN Hollywood stories, it's not just write this and baam Millionaire! But my main complaint is there's too much water (too verbose for word count). If you're looking for a HW story where the MC chose films that would be critically acclaimed instead of quick cash grab like Blair Witch, then this is for you.

It's difficult for any modern novel to break the norm. Some wouod even say it's impossible to think a thought or an idea that hasn't already been archived as someone elses critically acclaimed novel. (Maybe they transmigrated and stole your book?) But I digressed. Most novels are the classic reincarnated into a OP MC that's unrivaled, or time travel into the past to make themselves a genius. However this novel while some what following the later opening. It takes a turn that seems to be ... Shit, I died and possessed this younger womans body. Morbid right? However I find it fresh enough to enjoy? Was that weird? Whatever. It's a promising novel that doesn't tend to trail off the way I do, and for that you should give it a shot. Last of all guys. Don't drill a hole in your head. -Zeph
