Creating Hidden Endings Vol. 1

by Homekeeper B

Trapped in a game, bound by fate.

After the end of the game "D-Rank Hunter's Regression," Yeon Seonwoo awakens under a strange ceiling, only to discover he's been transported into the game itself as a minor, unseen character. Desperate to return to reality, his plans are thwarted when he's unexpectedly kidnapped by Lee Jehee, the formidable S-Class hunter and protagonist, plagued by insomnia.

Jehee seeks Seonwoo's mentalist skills for relief. But the term 'help' is a stretch for the mentally strained Jehee, leading to Seonwoo reluctantly signing a dubious contract as Jehee's exclusive supporter - or more accurately, a servant.

Bound by this agreement and summoned at will, Seonwoo finds himself entangled in a world of intrigue, power, and unpredictable challenges.

Will his wit and skills enable him to break free from his master's grasp and find his way back home, or is he destined to be entwined in this game world forever?

Creating Hidden Endings Vol 1 had an interesting premise. What if you not only woke up in a video game, but you woke up in the game you'd spent hours grinding away at and were at the mercy of the mad main character you left behind? "D-Rank Hunter's Regression" took a main character who was thrown back in time every time he died, so he had essentially lived 300 lives with no sense of permanence and it had made him a powerful, narcissistic, sadist. It was a monster hunter/ dungeon crawl game on top of dating simulator? Overall it means that when Yeon Seonwoon woke up in a side character with little value as a fighter or as an active battle supporter, he had to scrape by. Until the day he was kidnapped and forced into a servant contract where he used his meager abilities to help the video game's main character to sleep and relax. It's an interesting and unusual premise.

The bad side is that the writing is confusing. Scenes repeat themselves, people speak who aren't in the scene, sometimes I just couldn't understand what the characters were trying to say. In the end the interesting ideas weren't worth trying to slog through the confusing editing.

Fun story, translation not the greatest

This translation isn’t great, the pronouns are all over the place making it difficult at times to understand who is speaking to who , misgendering people left and right etc. If you are used to deciphering from a translation app it probably won’t bother you too much -but that’s where the quality is at.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. It was interesting but perhaps someone who understands gaming will find it more enjoyable.
