Description
The Third Psychiatric Hospital in Lin Yuan City has “Three Don’ts”: First, after midnight, do not wander the hallway on the fourth floor of the ward; Second, do not recall any strange tales about the hospital at night; Third, no matter how dangerous the situation, do not trust any patient. Violation of any of the above three points will lead you to the abyss. One late night, Shi Changfeng broke all three “don’ts.” He stood alone in the empty hallway, wearing a doctor’s white coat, ready to hunt the abyss. From the shadows at the end of the hallway, a “tap, tap, tap” sound echoed. Shi Changfeng stepped into the darkness and saw Jian Huai, his hands in his pockets, tapping his toes lightly on the ground, the sound of his shoes hitting the tiles creating a “tap, tap.” Every night, Jian Huai would play a game of “three don’ts.” He enjoyed the feeling of being alone in the darkness, it was his playground. Until this night, he met Shi Changfeng. Jian Huai slammed the monster’s severed limb at Shi Changfeng’s feet, a crazed smile twisting his blood-stained face: “Doctor Shi, are you on night shift tonight?” Shi Changfeng, looking past the monster in the darkness at his feet, calmly stared at Jian Huai: “No, I’m here for you.” If you are the abyss, then I will wait for you in the abyss

My Thoughts on Im Waiting for You in the Abyss
"Im Waiting for You in the Abyss" is a trip, plain and simple. It's not always a smooth one, but it's definitely memorable. Diving into this novel, I was immediately struck by its ambitious scope and the author's willingness to tackle complex themes. This isn't your run-of-the-mill web novel; it's a story that tries to make you think, and for the most part, it succeeds.
First Impressions
The synopsis didn't quite prepare me for the journey ahead. It hints at the darkness, but it doesn't fully capture the allegorical nature of the story. Prepare yourself for a narrative that delves into mental illness, fractured realities, and the search for connection in a world that feels increasingly unreal. The initial premise is intriguing: a blending of worlds and a protagonist grappling with his sanity. I was hooked from the start.
What Works Well
The world-building is a definite highlight. Each world the characters traverse feels distinct, with its own set of rules and a unique atmosphere. I particularly enjoyed the exploration of how these alternate realities impact the "real" world. The character development, especially that of the main character, Jin Huan, is also compelling. Witnessing his growth, his struggle to understand love, and his ultimate decision to help others despite his own pain resonated deeply. The marketplace world was a standout for me, it really emphasized how important it is to control your actions.
Areas of Concern
While the concept is strong, the execution felt a little rushed in places. Some plot points seemed underdeveloped, and I was left with a few unanswered questions by the end. The pacing could have been more consistent, allowing for deeper exploration of certain themes and relationships. Also, if you're coming in expecting a steamy romance, you might be disappointed. The "shounen ai" tag is a bit of a stretch, with the romantic elements being subtle to the point of near-nonexistence.

Final Verdict
Despite its flaws, "Im Waiting for You in the Abyss" is a novel that I'd recommend, especially if you're looking for something a little different. It's thought-provoking, emotionally resonant, and tackles heavy themes with a unique perspective. Just be prepared for a story that prioritizes psychological exploration over explicit romance, and you might find yourself pleasantly surprised.
