Description
It was an exceptionally ordinary day, so unremarkable that Fang Chen couldn’t even recall what he had for breakfast that morning. Like any other day, he went through the routine of washing up, having a meal, leaving for work, and returning home in the evening to organize files. However, everything changed when he heard strange noises outside just before going to sleep. He opened the door, and from that moment, everything became different. A man with a rotting body, peculiar creatures that preyed on humans, a helpless middle-aged couple lying in a pool of blood, and an elite white-collar worker being consumed by their own pet… and that man who seemed to be following him everywhere. This city wasn’t safe; they had to escape from here. “I will always stay with you, right by your side.” “Please, kill me.” “Don’t be afraid.” “I can’t remember who are you… I… Was I the one who killed you?” They had committed a sin, and so the punishment began.

My Thoughts on Escape from the Human Realm
"Escape from the Human Realm" pulled me in with its intriguing blend of horror, mystery, and psychological elements, and I'm still sorting through my feelings about it. The romance, while present, definitely plays a secondary role to the overarching plot, so keep that in mind going in.
First Impressions
The story kicks off with Fang Chen, our MC, living an ostensibly normal life. But a creeping sense of unease permeates everything as strange events begin to pile up. I found myself immediately drawn into the mystery, questioning reality right alongside Fang Chen as he struggles with his memory and the unsettling occurrences around him.
What Works Well
The author has crafted a compelling narrative with well-developed characters, both main and supporting. Each character has a purpose, and their backstories are intricately woven into the larger plot. I particularly appreciated the subtle clues and foreshadowing that the author sprinkles throughout the story; it made piecing together the puzzle incredibly satisfying. The plot twists kept me on the edge of my seat, and the gradual unveiling of the truth alongside the MC was brilliantly executed. The tragic backstories of both the MC and ML add a layer of emotional depth, making them characters you genuinely root for, despite their flaws. The way bad people receive their retribution was satisfying.
Areas of Concern
While the mystery and character development are strong, I felt the romance could have been more central. The relationship between the MC and ML is undeniably touching, but it doesn't dominate the narrative. Also, the abundance of flashbacks might not appeal to all readers.

Final Verdict
Despite some potentially controversial plot elements, "Escape from the Human Realm" is a gripping and thought-provoking read. If you enjoy stories with intricate mysteries, well-developed characters, and a touch of the macabre, I recommend giving it a try. Just be prepared for a potentially bittersweet ending and a narrative that prioritizes plot over romance.
