【Golden Ten Chapters】

Chapter 1: The Vampire Catcher. The protagonist, Wen Wen, while receiving treatment at a mental hospital, accidentally discovers a mysterious space called the "Disaster Shelter," which can only absorb demons and monsters. He spends several days there, finally capturing a low-level vampire and successfully taking him in.

Chapter 2: I'm Behind You. The protagonist enters the asylum, finds the central master, and obtains a limited amount of information from the metal man he spawned. Within the asylum's tombstones, the protagonist is deeply shaken and inherits the inmates' will, planting his own tombstone.

Chapter Three: The Glove's Power. The protagonist's gloves allow him to freely travel between reality and the asylum, granting him the abilities of captured inmates, including both basic and special abilities. He cleverly chooses the basic stat bonus offered by vampires over the basic hypnosis. With these abilities, he wants to show off, and he plans to find other inmates to show off.

Chapter 4: New Target. The protagonist, a legitimate detective, begins investigating cases in the otherworld to uncover supernatural phenomena. He eventually finds a clue in another city and visits the victim, pretending to be an insurance agent.

Chapter 5: Preparation and Infiltration. The three victims' statements were remarkably consistent, all they said was that they were locked up in a cold storage facility. The protagonist decided to investigate the school himself. He could freely switch between attributes and skills, first jumping into the school and then hypnotizing the security guard.

Chapter 6, Ghost Hunt. The protagonist is perfectly prepared, applying cow tears to the ghost and then, under the pretext of chatting, slashing at it with a knife and then pouring boy's urine on it. A fierce action!

第七章，捕捉成功。上面那些招式用完，并没什么用，最后还是手套的力量才成功捕捉，主角对其一顿胖揍。收容所内，女吸血鬼却冷眼嘲讽主角想当猎人，恐怕是找死。

Chapter 8: Ghostly Powers and Mutations. The protagonist attempts to activate his ghostly powers and discovers he's become invisible, naked. He has no fighting power. As he begins to wander around, he attracts the attention of other ghosts, who follow him.

Chapter 9: First Actual Combat. The protagonist encounters a monster attack from the otherworld for the first time. In a direct confrontation, he miscalculates and is overwhelmed by the monster. Then, a mysterious organization appears and begins to clean up the mess. The Chun-Li-like girl unleashes extreme violence.

Chapter 10: The Hunter's Association. These two, members of the local Hunter's Association, tracked the protagonist down, discovered a monster from the Otherworld, and killed it. They brought the protagonist to the Association's headquarters, also a mental hospital. The two were eerily similar. The protagonist's intuition was incredibly powerful, allowing him to see through the gray fog and connect with the monsters of the Otherworld.

【Brief Comment】

Story Features
This book is quite interesting.

It tells a story that takes place in the Earth Federation. The protagonist Wen Wen is a legal detective. Ordinary cases can no longer arouse his interest. When he enters a mental hospital to treat his mental illness, he accidentally gains magical abilities.

In the "Disaster Shelter", he inherited the will of the previous inmate, and in order to satisfy his curiosity, he began to actively capture various supernatural objects, which led to the Hunter Association, successfully integrated into the new circle, and started his extraordinary life.

Character characteristics
The protagonist is gentle, cold and fearless.

His unburdened background led him to pursue a career as a detective, exploring all sorts of thrills, catching vampires, ordinary ghosts, and battling monsters from the otherworld. Capture them all, good or bad!
He gained new abilities, but was able to maintain a bit of sanity and not do anything that violated morality and the law.

The protagonist also has a hint of playfulness, which is reflected in the various seemingly effective capture methods and various magical reversals.

What he should actually rely on most is the gloves. "Empty-handed glove" has evolved into "grabbing everything", which is actually quite good.

Style Features
Many people say that this book leans towards the dark side. After all, it is a parallel world, and the various settings are a fusion of Chinese and Western styles. It is not named or concrete, and there is no need to consider specific locations.

Even moral standards and legal boundaries are very different from reality.

Therefore, every time the protagonist takes action, he does not play by the rules; when fighting monsters, he has no routine; when being caught, he can also talk nonsense shamelessly.

It is this informal writing style that makes the reading experience less oppressive and stressful.

Although many parts of the game are borrowed from Cthulhu Mythos and SCP Foundation, it still has its own original ideas and unique characteristics.

The author's hard-working attitude in writing is at least worth learning from.

【to sum up】

Writing is not easy, so cherish every moment!

I’m Cang Yiwei, and I’m here to promote “Cang’s Ramblings”!
Welcome to the paradise of book reviews.

【Cang's Ramblings】

Yes, I admire this author very much.

His previous book was also classified as fantasy and its performance was also average.

But he did not get discouraged or give up, and still persisted until he reached 150 million words.

This book has achieved considerable success, is much more interesting, and is very pleasant to read.

His progress is very obvious.

In comparison, I have actually been trying to come up with stories that satisfy me and that more people will like.

After writing this short story, although my performance has gradually improved, it is not a complete story after all, and I always feel that it cannot fully ignite my desire to create.

Oh, this damn little tsundere!
Isn’t it nice to do it for money?
Isn’t self-media great?
There are thousands of ways to make money, not just writing novels.
It’s because of love that I love.

After finishing this short story, it is time to return to the real world of novels.

I didn’t expect that reading “Disaster Shelter” today would actually shake my heart.

My heart is unstable!
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that today is Friday and May Day.

Recommended positions, monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, subscriptions, free reading, so-called tweets from writer assistants, changing the face but not the concept, etc.

The information age is always filled with a lot of useful and useless information, which is overwhelming and keeps generating new ideas.

Hold on, and keep your mind steady!

When doing things, you still have to do them one by one.

Finally, I wish you all a happy May Day!
