Description
Since Guan Shan obtained the Horror Game Simulator in his mind, everything he sees has turned into a nightmarish scene. From a meat restaurant with corpses hanging in the kitchen, an apartment building where the midnight bell rings but no one is there, to a mental hospital filled with mu*derers… As an ordinary person, Guan Shan feels fear, anxiety, and terror. Facing these overwhelmingly powerful BOSSes, he has to give his all just to barely defeat the monsters and obtain some meager equipment to survive. Each end of the simulation is merely a temporary reprieve. However, in the eyes of others, Guan Shan himself is the embodiment of horror and abnormality! “Captain, even the S-class dangerous Espers have been killed by him, and he’s tearing through the entire base. Yet, he still looks terrified and is shouting for help. Should we save him or not?” “Are you kidding? He’s coming towards us! Run!”

My Thoughts on I’m Really Scared
"I'm Really Scared" had me hooked from the get-go with its intriguing blend of horror, action, and a dash of the supernatural. As a fan of web novels that aren't afraid to mix genres, I was excited to dive into this one, especially knowing it came from the author of "I'm Really Not The Demon God's Lackey."
First Impressions
The initial chapters painted a vivid picture: a protagonist caught between two worlds, a reality-bending horror game, and a sinister organization lurking in the shadows. The premise felt fresh, and I was eager to unravel the mysteries surrounding the MC's past, his childhood friend, and the true nature of the threats he faced. The comedic undertones, stemming from the MC's unreliable narration, added a unique flavor to the story.
What Works Well
The action sequences are definitely a highlight. The author does a great job of keeping me engaged as the MC navigates dangerous situations, often relying on his wits and a bit of luck to survive. I also appreciated that the MC wasn't overpowered from the start. He had to learn and adapt, making his victories feel earned. The mystery surrounding Shen Dinghua, the childhood friend, also had me constantly guessing, wondering about her true identity and role in the story.
Areas of Concern
While the premise is strong, the execution occasionally falters. The "horror" elements, while present, lean more towards gore and strange descriptions than genuine scares. Also, the translation feels rough around the edges. The writing sometimes feels awkward and unnatural, which can be distracting. I also had some issues with the portrayal of the police force; their incompetence sometimes felt exaggerated, undermining the tension and believability of the story.

Final Verdict
Despite its flaws, "I'm Really Scared" is an enjoyable read with a lot of potential. The author's creative ideas and engaging action sequences kept me invested, even when the translation or certain plot elements didn't quite land. If you're a fan of supernatural action with a touch of dark humor and don't mind a few rough edges, I'd recommend giving this novel a try. Just be aware that the translation quality might require some patience.
