Reading Guide and Content Warnings

(This wasn't long, but publication required a thousand characters, so there was some extra rambling at the beginning. Readers with a little time to spare, please read it all.)

(Readers who are short on time can scroll down to the content warnings in the middle for the reading guide.)

This book was a somewhat rough work written by a novice author, inspired by a sudden idea.

Because I was still inexperienced and my writing was immature, mistakes such as typos, missing words and sentences, and flaws or gaps in logic were inevitable. I sincerely hoped that my dear readers would offer valuable criticism and corrections with kindness and tolerance, without disrupting other readers' enjoyment of the story.

Every suggestion would motivate me to keep improving and refining my work, giving me a chance to polish it further and present it better to everyone. Mozhu wanted to thank all the readers in advance. Whether you clicked on the book, left a comment, or wrote a criticism, thank you so much!

Also, because the basic setting had already been decided and could not be changed, I wanted to give readers as many content warnings as possible without spoilers, so that settings they disliked wouldn't spoil their mood while reading.

Here was the reading guide for this book:

1. The story was mainly set in a fictional alternate world and had no connection to any real country, region, or ethnic group.

2. The male lead was not human and fed on humans. The story would contain bloody violence, dark and disturbing content, and other acts that went against human values. Please do not apply them to the real world you live in.

3. The male lead was a homicidal madman, infamous even among Ghouls. Please do not attribute his values to the readers or the author.

4. As a pure Ghoul, the male lead would not form strong intimate relationships with other intelligent beings. In other words, there would be no romance, no friendship plotline, and no female lead.

5. To fit the high-martial world, the Ghoul setting had been modified somewhat, and the plot of the original Ghoul work would not feature heavily.

6. To stress it again, the male lead was not human. He would even deliberately lure women, children, the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled astray or eat them. Readers who cannot accept that, please click the button in the upper-left corner.

7. The male lead was the only Ghoul in the high-martial world (though not a protected animal) (he was a rare animal, though).

8. During his early development, he would resort to sneaky tactics, but he wouldn't lie low for too long.

9. The male lead had no grand vision and wouldn't broaden his horizons; he would only start fights. He had come to the new world simply with the idea that he had found a new restaurant. He would not join any other organization or establish a faction of his own.

10. The cover was an image found online through a Baidu search. If it infringed on anyone's rights, please tell me in the comments, and I would replace it immediately.

The new cover was an original illustration commissioned by the author. Unauthorized use was prohibited. (Added April 13, 2025.)

11. The first chapter contained roughly 1,000 Chinese characters involving characters and events from the original work, to explain the cause of Shisui's (the protagonist's) death in his previous life.

Characters from the original work would die, and the author's writing skills were limited, so I could not portray the original characters accurately. If you minded, you could skip it.

No characters from the original work would appear in the main story after the first chapter. (Added January 31.)

12. If readers found any other content worth warning about, feel free to leave a comment here.

I hoped everyone enjoyed the story and had a great time! (Cat making a heart gesture.GIF)

I would do my best to update 4,000 Chinese characters every day! You have to believe me!! (Whole-wheat bread shouting.JPG)

Finally, happy New Year's Day to all my readers, and may the new year bring a fresh start!

Remember to dress warmly and don't catch a cold! (Cat blowing a kiss.GIF)
