no words, just love! Easily the best book of my reading year!
Everyone just read this once in their live.

This was really really good! The first couple of arcs/doors are probably the weakest, the puzzles get better as you go further through the book.
I was kind of expecting the ending to be bad because of a couple of reviews I read but actually they were Wrong and misunderstood key plot points so…I found the ending totally satisfying.
The author definitely knows how to make you feel the stakes are high, I spent so much time worrying about dying that ’s death came out of nowhere and destroyed me, even though there was obvious foreshadowing. The author did a great job of creating the feeling of danger without making it feel like the deaths happened randomly for shock value, all the deaths felt meaningful.

I...don't know where to begin.
First of all, I did not expect this book to be this catchy. No kidding, I could only think about it day and night (and lost a lot of sleep because of it) and finished in, what, 6 days?
The plot, the characters, the FUCKING TWIST? I couldn't put it down, it was that good.
So let's talk about it for a bit. There's our MC - Lin Qiushi - who one day finds himself in a different world than the one we live in. There he encounters a peculiar girl, one we all know is actually a boy, named Ruan Baijie...or should I call her Ruan Nanzhu?
I haven't encountered such a good MC in a long while, since reading [b:论救错反派的下场 Mistakenly Saving the Villain|57647718|论救错反派的下场 Mistakenly Saving the Villain|Feng Yu Nie|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1617709774l/57647718._SX50_.jpg|90325290] (great read btw, another 5* of mine, I recommend it). He felt human but he was also special, in a main character way. He wasn't annoying at all, he was really smart, he kept his calm in difficult situations, he was absolutely hilarious and he wasn't overpowered. He also wasn't a goody two shoes but he was still kind and helped when he was able to. However, he didn't think of himself as Superman trying to save everybody.
As for the ML - Ruan Nanzhu - of course, he was just as great. They really are a match made in heaven. They were perfect for eachother. Nanzhu is a drama queen - that's literally the best way to describe him. He likes to cross dress, make up scenarios, act and he's hilarious while doing so. He also has a more serious side, and he's also extremely smart and brave. Not to mention shameless. Never forget about that part, it's a big part of his personality.
Every door was enjoyable, some more than the others, and although just the thought of food made me sick in the beginning, by the end of the novel I was eating a hearty meal, no problem. Oh, the author's notes were also hilarious.
As for the twist...Not gonna lie, I'm still spacing out while reading this and I'm not sure that I'll ever recover. I saw that a lot of people didn't enjoy it, especially since it was in the extra, but I think it was the perfect reminder that this novel isn't a romcom - it's a horror, through and through. Would I still like for that twist to not exist? Possibly, but I didn't hate it. I just know I won't recover from it anytime soon.

this book was beyond phenomenal, in the way it was written and in plot progression.
the premise of the world was so so interesting, and every single door world was unique and interesting to read. the descriptions and designs of each door world was done really well, to the point that reading at night was genuinely scary.
the characters were really well written as well. i was rooting for them, and was genuinely sad at the ones that didn't make it.
it really was such a good read.
