not sure if anyone will ever read this but just in case, I just found that I got a little spoilery near the end of my "rant".
More like 4/4.5 stars tbh. But I loved this novel's cast of characters so so sooo much that even if the ending left me slightly dissatisfied I cannot bring myself to give it less than five. (Edit: a few moments laterrr.... I can finally drop it to four, my infatuation has died and now that my emotions are stable, that ending is just not to my taste... 4 stars it is).
I really enjoy the way chinese authors give it their all in the gory details. (Japanese ppl are the same they just looove to give all the gory details. Smut? niet. blood, dead people and creatures lurking in the dark? YES YES YES).
So, plot? Like it.
Setting? Like it.
writting? Like it.
Characters? Like them.
ending?....................
ejem, not so much. It was good, it was kind of what I was promissed when I started reading so I shouldn't complain. I was promised a HE and... it is. But I'm a looser and I want the kind of HE where everyone runs into the sunset mounted on their unicorns singing kumbaya... this was as realistic as an ending for a story where the characters go into random doors to resolve gory puzzles can be. To me, it felt good but also bittersweet... The side characters left me with a stomach ache wich is pretty normal when I read something that I find distressing. It's excellent for weight loss actually, altough not at all recommendable.
As for my biggest dissapointment with the ending.... is the lack of actual answers. I know I'm dumb but I failed to understand or find the answers to who, why and how.
The characters took everything in stride, wich is normal when you have the OP MC trope, no biggie. But... till the end? The door are just the setting and I never found or managed to understand the reason for their existence... who created them? how? why? the why is slightly implied? maybe. If someone smarter than me ever reads this and has the answers please, help me sort this things out.
I will be re-reading this in the future so, maybe on my second attempt I become less like Chen Qianli lol
ps: I did read the extra where Nanzhe's uses that pretty gardener metaphor. I still need answers tho

this book was a bloody ride and when i say bloody i mean BLOODY. before getting to the last chapters i convinced this was a 5/5 star-reading but objectively speaking i had to knock down a few stars because a good amount of things fell short. besides that, this novel was super amazing! im just sad it’s over because i expected so much after the eleventh door and when i realised i had only two chapters left i knew it wasnt going to be an epic final level where they would have to fucking run for their lives and almost die for each other
