Horror Game Developer: My games aren't that scary!

[Horror Game Developer : My games really aren't that scary!] 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! Discord : https://discord.gg/FK7ZQU3b9p

Horror-Spieleentwickler: Meine Spiele sind nicht so gruselig!

[Horror-Spieleentwickler: Meine Spiele sind wirklich nicht so gruselig!] Ich hasse Horror. Von den huschenden Geräuschen von Schritten, die hinter mir herjagen, bis zu den leisen, aber beunruhigend kalten Flüstern, die sich um meine Ohren winden... All das. Ich hasse es. So sehr, dass ich anfange zu kotzen, wenn ich eine bestimmte Schwelle erreiche. Und trotzdem bin ich ein Horror-Spieleentwickler. Ein miserabler noch dazu. Also habe ich beschlossen, aufzuhören, angesichts meiner mangelnden Fähigkeiten. Und doch... [Glückwunsch, Sie wurden für das Horror-Spielentwicklungssystem ausgewählt!] Nein, ich will es nicht. Lass mich aufhören. ※ Hinweis: Ihre Welt könnte einige Veränderungen erfahren. Aber keine Sorge! Es ist Teil des Spiels! *** Dies ist eine Geschichte über einen Spieleentwickler, der Horror hasst, aber keine andere Wahl hat, als Spiele zu entwickeln, die gruselig genug sind, um Menschen zu traumatisieren. Sie wollen mich verfluchen, weil ich Sie dazu gebracht habe, sich in die Hose zu machen? Wenn das der Fall ist, wen verfluche ich dann? *** Eine von SCP inspirierte Geschichte mit ihrer eigenen Wendung!

Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!

She is the true daughter of a prestigious family in the Federation, who was lost outside and grew up in a garbage heap, and is also a waste with only F-level spiritual power. Her parents' abandonment and favoritism, the exclusion and framing by her green tea fake daughter sister, the cultivation sect in crisis. She can only regain her cultivation and turn the tide by participating in the Federation Planet's 'God Creation Game'! "No way? Someone with only F-level spiritual power can also enter the 'God Creation Game'?" "Maybe just to make up the numbers." "With only 3 attack points, even a gust of wind can kill her, right?" Josh, the sickly waste not favored by everyone, casually summoned a Divine-level Monster in the dimension. Just when everyone thought she was going to kill all sides, she smiled slightly: "Open for fortune-telling, divining the location, weaknesses, and treasures of monsters, looking at dimension feng shui, monster physiognomy, one divination for 3000 points, scan the code to pay, thank you!" Barrage: "What's wrong! 3000 points, what idiot would go there! She's a fraud!" Contestant: "Me me me! I want a reading, I want a reading!" "I was here first!" "Don't cut in line!" Barrage: "......" Are these the star contestants they've fostered with points?

I have absolutely no pleasure in the stimulants in which I sometimes so madly indulge. It has not been in the pursuit of pleasure that I have periled life and reputation and reason. It has been the desperate attempt to escape from torturing memories, from a sense of insupportable loneliness and a dread of some strange impending doom. Edgar Allan Poe

Seriously a poetic masterpiece! I don't think I've ever read such good poetry by somebody so unknown. You're seriously gonna be the next Edgar Allan Poe or something, I swear! I wish my poetry was like half as good as yours. I bet you'll make it big somewhere, someday!

A great read and definitely a very unique writing style. Reminds me of Edgar Allan Poe. The author stays true to their MC. Every sentence, every scene is steeped with a distinct tension and atmosphere. The novel is very immersive. Updates are stable and character are very well portrayed. The story hits the ground running. The world building is distinctive too, where you can feel the futuristic setting. Thank you so much author. Please keep up the great work. I look forward to reading it.

Very nice novel, MC is very well-rounded and feels realistic. The environment, as much as it is left vague forn now, feels really good and intriguing. Not much story developement for now, but i also like the sense of aimlessness of a guy suddenly thrust in Hell with no other suggestion than "Fall deeper". Very good grammar, i also really like the author's writing style; feeling a bit of an Edgar Allan Poe influence (maybe?) on the most delirious sections of inner thoughts. Overall, great job and keep it up!

This book is somewhat relatable in terms of character design. Upon reading the synopsis, I can’t help but picture a shy, self-conscious girl who has a lot of issues to confront within herself. Overall, the writing style is good. I don’t have much to say about how this story will play out since it’s full of mysteries as a story, and we have yet to learn more about Alexia. However, if I were to be honest I find the trope of the MC a bit….overrated. I’ve seen many of the “socially anxious female MC” in certain medias and my advice is to add a bit of elements that could make your story stand out more. Try mentioning a short backstory of how she turned out to be friendless and introverted in the synopsis, since your synopsis will basically be the “first impression” people will notice about your story. Overall, that is my only complaint. I love the Edgar Allan Poe passage in the beginning, it gives me a vibe of a mysterious, angsty indie RPG game where MC has a lot of secrets to uncover. Keep pushing, author!

Soft boss, she broke her character profile again

As the role model of the Space-time Race, Yuan One had always been conscientious in helping each of his hosts successfully clear all the planes. When she first met Yan Chumiao, the little girl had a pair of round almond-shaped eyes, clear and translucent, and a tender little face, which was very delicate. Yuan One thought to himself. This was a delicate, adorable, and weak host. Less than a minute later, he apologized for disturbing her. His face really hurt! - Rumor had it that the Yue Family's Di Young Lady was born delicate and beautiful, and was the true flower of wealth in the mortal world. It was just a pity that this body was really a little weak. Everyone was filled with regret. Yuan One, who had witnessed his host sitting firmly in the position of the evil female supporting character, thought, This is clearly a true savage flower in the mortal world! - Jing Rong had always thought that the little girl he liked was weak and needed his protection at all times. Until one day, at the entrance of an alley. The delicate little girl formed a sharp contrast with the tragic scene on the ground. The little girl looked sideways and swept her gaze over. Her round almond-shaped eyes still had traces of hostility that had not dissipated. Her danger level was off the charts. The little girl raised her eyebrows." What are you waiting for? Hurry up and pack up." - In the end, someone asked a soul-piercing question. How did you two end up together? The male lead touched his face and thought to himself,"I should be the one who's good-looking." Yan Chumiao thought,'Maybe…I need someone to clean up the scene. After all…I'm a bit of a clean freak.' Yuan One: The tool man was really hammered. Yan Chumiao #said the most delicate and soft words, backhanded and stabbed the fiercest and cruelest knife #Everything depends on the mood #Love? Impossible!# Jing Rong: [You're so love-minded. I'll be wherever Jiaojiao is.] " Quickly put on 1v1. The female lead is the female goose. The male lead? He should have picked it up at the door, right? In fact, the author has forgotten the details." The author's introduction is useless. For details, look at the main text.

I've been reading it for a long time, and it has become a song.
