Could you survive a horror movie?That's the question Riley must answer after he and his friends get lured to Carousel, a malevolent town where horror movies come to life.Riley thinks he is in big trouble when he is assigned the Film Buff archetype, a minor support class that has a penchant for dying early in movies. At first resigned to his fate to die over and over, he believes he has found a way to survive. Upon obtaining the Oblivious Bystander trope, monsters and killers will not harm him as long as he can convincingly pretend he has not noticed them. At first, this ability appears to be a joke, but Riley thinks that with some clever exploitation, it might just be his greatest strength.What to expect:-Strategic gameplay and clever uses of movie tropes to survive-Perilous storylines right from your favorite horror movies-Creative Twists of Classic Horror Movie tropes-Moderate stats-based combat and strategy***Schedule: Mon-Fri Collapse

Bro, the novel is very good, certainly the best when we talk about horror, the only thing that surprised me was that most of the mysteries were clarified at the end of the first book (I wasn't expecting it), well, at least the mysteries we know can appear more as it continues the story. I was upset by the fact that the chapters were disorganized, imagine my surprise when I heard that there were not 299 chapters released as it was written hahaahah, book 1 and 2 is repeated.
The mystery, the struggles, and the roles people play as they try to survive the Horrors. I love it.My greatest pain is that this is too condensed and fast paced, losing out on a lot of depth as well as needed and wanted character development and bonding. It is incredibly tense and interesting as we follow through the scenarios they are put in and I want more of it, but at a more gradual pace that let's us experience Carousel and what it has to offer without feeling rushed or pushed towards the greater mysteries involved..... I said a lot when I should have just said I want more of the lesser plot related Scenarios interspersed between key nodes in the Novel, whether it's for entertainment or developing the world and characters in it.
This is the best horror novels I’ve read. I love how everything is interconnected and the world building is amazing. 9/10 for me
I don’t really read this type of novels often but this surprised me and I enjoyed it immensely seems well thought out, planned and executed. 9/10 for me
Despite the fact that I put off reading this work for some time, I still read it in one breath and I really liked it. I was a little surprised when I realized that I had read all the way to the last (currently) released chapter. In any case, I'm really looking forward to new chapters
Don't forget to downvote me ??(? ??? ??? ??? ?)??
Really satisfying to read because the atmosphere of this novel is different from other LitRPGs while still maintaining things like leveling up, skills, etc. .And for anyone confusedArchetype - ClassTrope - Skill/TraitStats are basically like:Mettle - Strength Moxie - Charisma (kind of?)Hustle - Dexterity/AgilitySavvy - Intelligence/Wisdom Grit - Health/Endurance
Oddly satisfying
