Synopsis
Facing a terminal illness with only three months to live, Chen Wen acquires a system that allows him to manifest supernatural entities known as weirdness. By creating these horrors, he can steal half the remaining lifespan of anyone they kill, effectively trading the lives of others for his own immortality. This narrative reads like a dark fusion of the SCP Foundation's containment tropes and a traditional system-based progression novel. It is ideal for readers who enjoy urban legend reimaginings and morally grey protagonists who manipulate horror for personal gain. Those who prefer optimistic themes or traditional heroism should skip this title. The story features a steady pace driven by the introduction of diverse mythological entities, with its standout quality being the creative way it adapts global folklore—from Weeping Angels to Egyptian mummies—into a cohesive mechanism for survival.

Editorial Review
The novel presents a compelling and dark central hook that successfully blends the 'system' genre with global horror tropes. Its primary strength lies in the variety of the created entities, which prevents the plot from becoming repetitive by shifting settings and mythologies. However, the reliance on mechanical lifespan acquisition can occasionally overshadow deeper character development, making the protagonist feel more like a manager of monsters than a fully realized person. Given the ongoing status and a chapter count of 142, there is enough content to establish the world, but the low visibility suggests it has yet to find a wide audience. It functions as a competent genre piece that delivers on its premise without attempting to reinvent the wheel, though it lacks the narrative complexity found in top-tier fantasy works.
