Description
In a terrifying horror game, players stared at the missions before them with bloodshot eyes, barely clinging to life as they fled from hordes of mu*derous NPCs. But when Chen Li entered the game, he stood silently, staring at the prompt in front of him for a long time. Chen Li: …Fine. . . . . . While Chen Li was diligently carrying out his tasks, thinking he was playing a fierce NPC… Player A: …Why is this NPC howling like that? Player B (excited): Today’s the day players finally fight back and kill an NPC for revenge! Player C (panicked): W-Wait… Don’t you know that NPC is under the protection of that top player? H-He’s coming this way!! Player B (scoffing): No way a top-tier player would ever team up with an NPC—especially such a weak one— Before the words were even finished, footsteps echoed from the end of the dark corridor. The overwhelming pressure made all the players tremble. Meanwhile, completely unaware, Chen Li continued roleplaying his NPC duties: “I declare—you are all surrounded!” The three players didn’t even dare to breathe. The top player slowly approached and stopped right in front of them. Chen Li, puzzled, swung the fake bloody limb in his hand: “Awwooo? You’re not scared?” He turned to the boss and snarled, baring his teeth in what he thought was a menacing way: “You’re scared, right?!” The boss smiled gently: “Terrified. You’re too fierce.” Then he looked at the trembling players with a blank expression. The poor bystanders immediately wet themselves from sheer terror. . . . . . In the Horror Game’s forums, a terrifying rumor circulates: There’s an NPC so fearsome, even the Soul-Terror Puppets pale in comparison. Its twisted appearance puts the mu*der Swan to shame. No player dares to challenge any dungeon that NPC has ever appeared in. Somewhere, in a dark room bathed in moonlight— Chen Li: “Awooo…?” The boss patted his head: “Yes, just like that. Very scary.” . . . . . Top-tier player (secretly a Ghost King) × timid human pretending to be a ghost NPC Notes: The protagonist Shou is easily scared. He tends to be a group favorite—many powerful NPCs like him (non-romantic). Gong and Shou are exclusive to each other, body and soul.

Forced to Work After Pretending to Be an NPC [Infinite] Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator
My Thoughts on Forced to Work After Pretending to Be an NPC [Infinite]
This web novel, "Forced to Work After Pretending to Be an NPC [Infinite]," certainly took me on a ride. With its blend of horror, fantasy, and romance (yaoi, specifically), it's a story that attempts a lot, and mostly succeeds, though not without a few stumbles along the way.
First Impressions
Going in, the premise was intriguing. A cute protagonist pretending to be an NPC in a deadly infinite game world? Sign me up! I was curious to see how the author would balance the horror elements with the romance, and whether the MC's "NPC" status would be a genuine handicap or just a plot device.
What Works Well
One of the strongest aspects of this story is the dynamic between the MC and the ML. The ML's doting and teasing nature creates a fun and engaging relationship. The MC, despite relying on the ML, isn't just a damsel in distress. His reactions to the terrifying situations are relatable, and his internal conflict between fear and morbid curiosity adds depth to his character. I also appreciated that the story delivered on its promise of a clear ending, tying up most loose ends and giving a sense of closure. I found the revelations about the past and the dreams to be particularly well done.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the novel, I did have some reservations. I felt that the explanation of the ranking system was lacking. It felt like elements were introduced primarily to highlight the MC's charm or the ML's power, rather than serving a deeper narrative purpose. The MC's constitution and the ML's origin also felt somewhat underdeveloped. Some may find it bothersome that there wasn't a more detailed backstory explaining these aspects. The convenience of it all can feel a bit forced at times. I can also see how some might find the ML's 'OP-ness' a bit much, and how it overshadows the other characters.

Final Verdict

While it has some flaws, the engaging relationship between the MC and ML, the interesting world-building, and the satisfying conclusion make it a worthwhile experience. I'd recommend it, especially if you appreciate a strong, protective love interest and don't mind a bit of reliance on plot convenience. I'd give it a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars.
