The characters are well-developed, each with their own backstories and motivations. Li is relatable, a struggling writer trying to navigate this bizarre new reality. We see his resilience and his desperate desire to survive, but also his moments of fear and vulnerability. The other residents, each with their own haunting pasts, add depth to the narrative, reminding us that even in the face of shared terror, human nature can be unpredictable.
It's not very often you find a story like this. The gorey imagery with elements of mystery is refreshing .
This is a wild turn of events! The author keeps the story exciting and unpredictable. I'm loving the introduction of these powerful individuals, each vying for the chance to heal Xiao Jie. The monk's reaction to Shen, and the arrival of the man with his daughter, are really intriguing. I'm especially interested in this man's offer of a betrothal. What does this say about the power dynamics at play? Is there something more to these characters and their sudden appearances? This is a great cliffhanger! I can't wait to see what happens next!
