The Vicious Dog
By 童柯
2024
Description
Xu Luling had a boyfriend that everyone envied. He was cool and refined, a graduate from a top international school, an investment banking elite, and most importantly, he treated Xu Luling extremely well. Lately, her boyfriend seemed to be stalked by someone. He kept receiving death threats, and strange accidents kept happening one after another: secret surveillance cameras installed in their home, a car that suddenly couldn’t stop on the road, a plaster dummy falling from above… Finally, one day, her boyfriend really disappeared. As she went to report it to the police, the missing man suddenly appeared behind her, drenched, like he’d rushed over without even grabbing an umbrella, looking like a lost puppy she’d forgotten by the roadside: “Lingling, I’m back.” But twenty days later, this man who said he’d returned mysteriously died. There was one thing she never told anyone. She always had a feeling that he had never truly left. He was always there, right by her side.

My Thoughts on The Vicious Dog
"The Vicious Dog" is a short, sharp shock of a novel that definitely left an impression. Blending horror, mystery, and a touch of romance into a tight package, it's a story that's easy to devour in one sitting. After finishing it, I can understand why it has garnered such varied reactions.
First Impressions
Going in, I knew "The Vicious Dog" was a completed story, which is always a plus for me. The initial tags also piqued my interest – a beautiful female lead, cruel characters, and murders all hinted at a potentially thrilling ride. I was ready to dive into a dark and twisted tale.
What Works Well
The pacing is definitely one of the story's strengths. It moves quickly, keeping you engaged and eager to uncover the next layer of the mystery. The writing is solid, drawing you into the MC's world and making you feel her emotions. I found the female lead to be quite compelling. Her determination to uncover the truth, despite being repeatedly deceived, was admirable. The author did a great job of crafting realistic characters, even the minor ones. The twists and turns are well-orchestrated, creating a sense of intrigue that kept me guessing.
Areas of Concern
While the short length is a boon in some ways, it also leaves some elements feeling underdeveloped. For instance, the MC's wealth, while mentioned, doesn't really impact the plot, which felt like a missed opportunity to deepen the story. Also, the ending, while complete, might not sit well with all readers. Some may find the repeated deception of the main character unsettling, especially concerning consent.

Final Verdict
Overall, "The Vicious Dog" is a well-written and engaging story that delivers a potent dose of suspense and horror. It's a quick read that's likely to provoke strong emotions, whether positive or negative. While the plot may be predictable to some, the execution is solid enough to keep you entertained. However, be warned: the dark themes and potentially triggering content mean this book isn't for everyone. I'd recommend it with caution, particularly to those who enjoy thrillers with a strong female lead and aren't easily disturbed by morally grey areas.
