Chapter 397 - Announcement

Hi everyone! Just a quick announcement: I've hit the 20-novel limit on my Webnovel account, so I won't be able to upload any new projects here for now. To keep sharing my translations with everyone, I've decided to migrate my new uploads to AO3!

For my completed novels, I'll also be making them available in .epub format on Google Drive or TeraBox, so you can read them offline whenever you want. I'll put the links in the comment section. If you're reading on the app, it can be tricky to copy or open links there. In that case, please use your browser to access the web version at https://www.webnovel.com and, if needed, switch to desktop mode in your browser settings to copy/paste or access the links properly.

I've already started a new project there: "My VR Games Terrify the World"—I hope you'll enjoy it! Don't worry—all ongoing/serializing projects on Webnovel will continue here. I won't be abandoning anything you're currently following!

For extra safety, I'm (maybe) also putting my translations on Royal Road (username: Reiya_Alberich) so they're accessible in multiple places.

If you'd like to follow my AO3 account, my pseud is Rikhi and you can find my profile here: https://archiveofourown.org/users/Rikhi/pseuds/Rikhi

Or just search 'Rikhi' on it's search bar.

Also… a small confession. I originally thought AO3 had a scheduled publishing feature like Webnovel—but it doesn't (╯▽╰ )

On Webnovel, I usually upload around five chapters a day per title, with everything pre-scheduled using their timer. Since AO3 doesn't have that option, things will work a bit differently here.

I spend most of my waking hours translating, and I'm still juggling multiple active projects on Webnovel, so my AO3 updates might be a little chaotic. Sometimes I'll do a big chapter dump, and then disappear for a few days — or maybe more than a week (?) before dropping another batch. (´・ω・`)

Basically, it all depends on which project I'm focusing on at the moment. I really appreciate your patience if my update rhythm here feels a bit unpredictable!

If you want to keep up with all my projects, you can always check my Carrd — that's where I post all updates and links!

Thanks so much for your support, and I hope you'll continue to enjoy all the translations—both old and new—no matter the platform! (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)و

Meng Shu never expected to wake up in a parallel world where VR technology is everywhere, but horror games are painfully primitive. His saving grace? A game development system that's incredibly easy to use, with a unique currency: player fear.

Every scream, every jolt, every moment of pure dread his players experience fuels his progress. With this terror tax, he can unlock the blueprints for every classic horror game from his past world. While everyone else ignores the genre, Meng Shu sees a golden opportunity.

He begins to unleash a series of VR horror experiences that leave players traumatized. Outlast has them pleading for mercy. Visage keeps them perpetually on edge, jumping at the slightest sound. SOMA plunges them into deep existential dread, and Alien: Isolation teaches them the true meaning of helpless fear.

From Silent Hill to Resident Evil and Five Nights at Freddy's, Meng Shu's growing library of nightmares has one simple goal: to become the undisputed master of fear and make the entire gaming world scream.

Dec 2025

So, I Became a Fairy And Lived Forever In The Fairy World is already rewritten and uploaded on AO3, and the Webnovel version has been updated too. Now it's The Cube Queen's Apocalypse Feast's turn, and I'm rewriting it while uploading the polished chapters here on AO3.

Right now, besides working on The Cube Queen, I'm also redoing When Everyone Cultivates. I'll rewrite it all the way up to the latest chapter I've already posted. Once I finish that, I'll move on to my other AO3 projects and give them the same treatment, rewriting and polishing everything before updating them.

After I finish the AO3 rewrites, I'll go back to updating my ongoing AO3 stories. Then I'll rotate between posting on AO3 and continuing my Webnovel projects. When The Cube Queen on AO3 finally catches up to the newest Webnovel chapter, I'll pick another completed Webnovel project, rewrite it, and publish the polished version on AO3.

That means each story will eventually have two versions, the polished one with my current style and the original one where you can see my whole journey as a translator and how my style slowly turned into what it is now on my webnovel.
