SQH during a fight with some ridiculous OP antagonist: You didn't even make it to the outline! I wrote down the idea for you on the back of a takeout receipt and then lost it!!

Shen Zechuan had never gone into battle to fight against the enemies, nor had he sat in the imperial court a far distance away. He was an ordinary man who came face to face with the scimitars, and it was precisely because he was an ordinary man that the wails of the six prefectures lingered in his ears every night and the bloodbath in the sinkhole haunted his mind all the time. He kneeled in the snowstorm raging at the sinkhole and experienced a separation by death. Overnight, he became the enemy of the entire world.

He had done nothing.

But he was guilty, and his sin went by the name Shen Zechuan.

Kaleidoscope of Death — List of Doors (Spoilers Up Ahead)

As someone who read the novel and likes to know what’s coming next at least a little bit but found no informative post related to it, I’m leaving this list here for future reference and for those who like doing the same. Big spoilers will be marked with an emoji!

(This is following Lin Qiushi’s order of entering doors that we see in the novel, counting the ones he entered for training or as missions, not following the world of the doors progressively.)

1° Door — First official door Lin Qiushi been in. The scenery is a cabin in the woods, a scary woman and a well. Overall frightening for a first read, but definitely not the most creepy for the novel as a whole.

2° Door — Based on Fitcher’s Bird. About the birthday of twin sisters. A bit heavy, indeed creepy now.

3° Door — Sister’s Drum and the temple. Interesting and more gore heavy than the other ones, in my opinion. Had goosebumps.

4° Door — The Woman In The Rain painting. The scenery is a castle, one of my favorites. Quick-paced in comparison to the other ones, and much lighter.

5° Door — From a Japanese high school scenery, it follows the Sachiko’s Song. Not as interesting as the others. Also not as heavy as the first three.

6° Door — The Slenderman story. Scenery is outside China, in a town with missing children. Here we go back to the long enigma with odd children and horrifying creatures. Mildly spooky.

7° Door — Waverly Hills Sanatorium. Actually Lin Qiushi’s training door, a sixth one again. I thought it was gonna be much more creepy with this ominous scenery; the place could’ve been more explored. But it’s still good.

8° Door — Mirrors theme. Contains a tragic fire in between. Here, Lin Qiushi skips to his ninth spiritual door, since it belongs to Yixie initially. Amazingly intense!

9° Door — The River God Festival. Lin Qiushi’s fourth door again, as a gig. Personally and sincerely, the most boring one. Feels like a filler, but without Nanzhu.

10° Door — Teru Teru Bozo legend. It’s good and much less complicated than it looks at first. This time, Qiushi and Nanzhu are seeking revenge against a certain group.

11° Door — Sculptures. Set in a school/university again? Not really remarkable.

12° Door — Based on the Japanese Hako Onna game. Fantastic, my favorite one in this entire novel. The whole mysterious chests and playing concept is thrilling. Nanzhu and Qiushi are so stupidly in love too.

13° Door — Minotaur Mythology. Actually, it’s set in a boat/ship. Qiushi’s side quest as another gig. Pretty alright, not deep.

14° Door — Lin Qiushi’s final eleventh door. ⚠️ Spoiler: he enters it to face a world he knows with all the creatures and ghosts he’s seen before. At last, he discovers the truth about him being in the 12th door all along.

⚠️ Extras — Qiushi discovers more about Nanzhu being the god of the 12th door. Romantic extra with the couple too, very satisfying. Many loose ends are tied together and explained; others remain though.

midnight lover (find me in your dreams) | shiguang

5k words of soulmates au.

In which Cheng Xiaoshi dreams of a white-haired boy and a certain Lu Guang, an eternal insomniac, barely sleeps. That narrows his path to finding a soulmate, but, well, Lu Guang has never cared about it anyway. Not until he met Cheng Xiaoshi.

I wonder if you miss me, too.

the wildest thing about lan wangji is the way he’s immediately enraged at his own feelings for wei wuxian. because we’ve seen wei wuxian fall in love slowly and surely, right? he goes from a quick interest to an oblivious attraction to liking lan wangji then being infatuated after his return to life, then to straight-up loving the guy intensely. we watch him develop his sexual and romantic attraction equally.

but lan wangji’s different. from the very first second he’s desperately smitten — all it took was one sly smile and he was going through the four stages of love: the desire to marry, kiss, bed and die with him. and he’s so goddamn outraged, because how dare this troublemaker trespass into his house and steal his heart so easily??

he was so conflicted that he didn’t see any other alternative if not to unsheathe his sword and fight the hell out of that idiot. feelings?? for a rebellious teenager?? right in front of my clan’s three thousand rules??? not today, devil.
