Short review
Amazing, highly recommend. Please read content warnings before reading. The book is so wonderfully written, their relationships + the horror ?? But there is a happy ending!!

A I love this book review with spoilers

I was feeling a bit hesitant to start this since this would be my first actual horror danmei, and there’s no regrets 🫡 This is written so wonderfully?? The horror was actually scaring me, had to make sure I read in the corner of the room so I had a view of the whole room 😭

Every single arc/door had me sitting on the edge of the cliff because I was so invested in what was going to happen. Every character is also so lovable, how they all interacted was so precious. This is a perfect example of a found family dynamic. The author also had a wonderful way to twist in comedic undertones while is plot was heavy, and this makes it easier to process without sinking too deeply.

The relationship between RNZ and LQS is so sweet, so cute my gosh. & all of RNZ attempts at flirting failing because LQS was so oblivious to it. Their interactions before they’re even together?? The cuddling while in the doors? The protectiveness and trust they have for each other- so beautiful. Also the crossdressing was so cute and silly, their interactions while crossdressing was also so funny. Reading others reactions had me laughing so much too + the fact that LQS loved both versions of RNZ, and he had to constantly reassure RNZ that he’s into both versions lmao.

This book is called Kaleidoscope of Death and it’s something you can’t ignore… There was about
three to four major deaths
, that completely broke me. I was sobbing so badly for their deaths too, I had to take a few breaks since reading how they all handled their deaths was too much. The author wrote their grief so beautifully bc damn… I do love how there
is a bittersweet ending for them though. I’m glad that they’re alive in a way, and that they’ll be happy in the end. Even if it’s in another world, they’ll be with those they love.

5.0

An amazing novel. This plot is immaculate! It was so interesting to read about every door, about every creature. I would have read at least 100 doors if the author had decided to write that many. The horror aspects are very well written. The romance between the characters is brilliant, slow paced but heartfelt and sweet. I experienced so many emotions while reading this novel. I cried, laughed, anxious because of some scary moments.
50/5, I recommend it to everyone.

Brilliant!

DESERVE TO GET A 5 STARS!! or more if i could. i’m a fan of horror, thriller, and mystery novel and this danmei really feeds what i wanted. the description is really detailed until you can imagine it perfectly inside your head. even though some pages might be triggering and really gore but that’s the reason why this book is interesting. a totally tearjaker, i can’t help myself but cry in some chapters. you’ll never know what will happened inside the door and it makes you can’t stop reading it. the plot twist makes me screaming out loud. couldn’t believe what i’ve just read and trying to connecting the dots from the start.

the characters are diverse in personality and i like it to see them developing especially lin qiushi. the love grows in the right pace, i like their cute interactions as well. also the twins!! i really like them and thanks to gu longming who make the story funnier (i have a good laugh). A MUST READ DANMEI.
