死亡万花筒 Kaleidoscope of Death by Xi Zi Xu
Did not finish book.
DNfed on chapter 35. Around 24%.
This is painful tbh...
This is the first Danmei I'm DNFing and it sucks.
This book was supposed to have everything i liked. Danmei? Yes! OP main characters? Double yes! horror, gore, and body horror? Hell yes to all!! I was sooo excited to read this, and i became even more excited when i realized that The ML was supposed to be a crossdresser. Like are you kidding me?? I'm gonna devour that shit! Or so i thought.
Tbh I can't even exactly pinpoint what I don't like about this...i just couldn't continue. I'm starting to get depressed and I've checked how much i got left of the book an unhealthy amount of times. If i continued like this, i knew I'll just ruin my good streak of reading since the year started.
Let's start from the charecters: I thought I'd have a field day with this couple of OP smart mfs who go through so much shit and still come out on top. But i think that's the problem...these guys always have the whole thing figured out. Specifically the ML. Like dear god, this is what? Their 4th door together now?? And every single time it's ML figuring everything out and putting everything together, finding the key and the door like it's easy cake and before anyone can even think about it. It was cool on the first and second door but then it just got repetitive and annoying. Like chill bro?? Let the others do shit too, damn. I thought this book was gonna have THE EARTH IS ONLINE, which it did. However the difference between the two is that the other didn't have the ML always solving shit while our MC just stood around and took all the flirting thrown his way. like give me some action! Kill people we care about, fuck up the main characters or at least make us care enough about the side charecters so that we can actually feel bad when they die. Ughhh I'm so frustrated!!!
The MC tbh was the only one worth the read ,i like him, he's funny, stupid at times and just overall a chill guy with crazy love for cats. I feel repented, thank you.
The other charecters can be a cut outs of cardboard boxes tbh. They're so bland and uninteresting i wanted them dead just so we can have less scenes in the book. The only person worth it was the kid that had a twin. He went with them to the forth door, can't remember his name to save my life but he's cute, funny and so stupid, and terrified of his own shadow. love him so much.
Next is the story i guess: tbh I thought the doors were interesting enough. They had enough horror, ghost and weird shit happening that i was kept entertained all this time. Sadly even that couldn't keep me from dropping it eventually.
One thing that irked me tho was the was the charecters acted around rookies??. Like bro so not cool. Like i get it, they can be annoying and their questions are always repetitive And can come off as stupid to others, but like seriously?? Ignoring them and not even trying to explain and help them? Yikes. I felt so bad for them, and yes, even when they were acting crazy. Like imagine you're just minding your business walking down a road or coming out of your apartment and you suddenly find yourself in place like the world of the doors?? I'd lose my shit too tf. Mfs acting so high and mighty instead of just simply explaining the situation to people whom you know will die if you don't step in? That such a low move I can't even Begin to express how i hated ML and his other lackeys every time they acted like such assholes to rookies.
Now to the relationships: honestly, the only thing i ship is Cat X Mc because that's the only thing worth it. This book barely has any relationships to speak of other then the main couple, and tbh as much as ML annoyed me at times, i still found him extremely entertaining when he was flirting with the MC. Bro was so straight to the point it amazing to witness lmao.
Anyways sucks that i had to DNF something i was so excited to read, i hope I'll come back to this one day and give it another shot.
