any horror danmei recs similar to ghg??🥹🥹 doesnt have 2 be translated or anything cuz i'll find a way no matter what🤔
*cracks knuckles* At last, my time has come!
I Became a God in a Horror Game is a novel under the Unlimited Flow genre. I previously posted an unli flow rec list on my main, so you can check that out! Granted, I should probably write a new rec list since that one is old.
What I like about GHG is that it gives its side characters their own narrative arcs. Its instances also have a deeper message, and each one actually ties into the overarching plot. Most unli flow novels aren’t like that, with instances being episodic and supporting characters being mere props to highlight the protagonists. So, if you want something similar to GHG, you won’t find much.
I am yet to find an unli flow that is as good as GHG, but imma list a few that has at least two of the following factors:
A clever/intelligent protagonist like Bai Liu
Instances are meaningful/tie into the overarching plot
Supporting characters have depth/are not completely sidelined
The Earth is Online = Best in thriller/suspense and complex instances. Not so good in romance and character depth. (But the side character Bai Ruoyao is very compelling.)
I Upended Yet Another Campus Urban Legend = Best in horror and romance. MC isn’t genius-level, but he’s intelligent enough to be included here.
High Energy QR Code = Best in meaningful instances. Diverse characters, but prose is a bit flat. MC is both intelligent and compassionate
Mist = The sole novel having organic origins for the “Unlimited Flow. Intelligent MC.
Welcome to the Nightmare Live = I’ve got mixed feelings about this. It starts out mid, but the more you read it, the more enjoyable it gets. Side characters often take a backseat, but they are nonetheless diverse and interesting. MC is very fun.
I Have to Start Acting Like a Care (title tl note) = I haven’t actually read past the first instance yet, but the main CP is interesting and the first instance was also intriguing. The male lead is also a lot like Bai Ruoyao from The Earth is Online
I Am a Flower Vase in an Infinite Flow World = protag isn’t smart like the MC’s in the other novels, but he isn’t stupid either. His character growth is also amazing. Instances are meaningful, and his relationship with his best friend is both fun and heartwarming. The ML is, well, your typical danmei ML.
This Player Must Be Using Plug-ins! (title on NU is This Character is Suspected of Cheating!, but I hate that translation) = Clever and witty protagonist. I do not know yet who ML is. There are several characters who could be ML, but author note implies this isn’t a harem. Anyways, the rest who aren’t ML make a very good supporting cast
Streaming the Unlimited Flow, but as a Spectator = I also haven’t finished this, but it has an interesting premise and good romance and instances. Both MC and ML are intelligent
Escape the Infinite Chamber = Good horror and the only novel with explicit smut on this list. There are things I don’t like about it, but it was still a good experience in general
