The Ghost Story Author's Deadline Diary

This novel features a single female lead or no romance, focusing instead on infinite-flow intellectual battles, creative horror scenarios, wordplay mechanics, and dark humor. The core power system revolves around character synthesis: combining the characters for "stone" and "skin" creates "break," capable of shattering myriad objects. In combat against zombies, simply scattering rice merges the character for "corpse" with "rice" to form a pixelated mosaic, instantly neutralizing the threat. The story explores diverse supernatural instances including Zoo Rule Horror, Prison Mirror, and Logic Man. Ghost story author Yu Liang drowsily sits at his computer, wondering if it is time to enter another instance to capture new tales. Stretching lazily, he effortlessly types out yet another excuse for missing his update deadline: "My nephew was just born, taking one day off."
