From my rough understanding of Chinese, and reading the full Manhua on this, the anime adaption's ending seems to be leading people to conclude incorrectly about Aiyou Xu.

(This is a massive spoiler about the truth of the entire story, please open with caution if you plan on reading the Manhua)

Thank you so much for reading and giving us this summary! I have been viewing this thread ever since the last episode aired . This explanation finally has me satisfied and can now move forward with my life.

You're welcome. I wasn't satisfied with the ending either and I just had to read the source Manhua

Any info regarding next season?

I think there will be a 2nd season...they left us in a cliffhanger.Btw,I still think Hu zhi is behind all these.Maybe He has inserted a chip or something in the MC's head to trigger his beast??

so my guess was correct....yokatta desu!although my intuitive reason was wrong

The thing is, no one "killed" her father. He having a heart attack while being in an escape room is pure coincidence (unless something untoward happened that we don't know about). Sure it may have been designed by the MC but that didn't "kill" him. If her father was walking down the street, he could just as likely have suffered the same heart attack.

For the MC to get amnesia from that & Xu to blame him is idiotic.

Wow. They really shoe-fisted this last episode. With that ending, I don't trust anybody - not even Yan.

Thank you, @nox7 for summarizing the manhua!

Thanks for the translation of the manhua ending. I started to wonder if the Chinese to English didn't have enough context in it like most manhua translations, or they clobbered the story intentionally.

I did wonder if Yan's parents were in on the reset, but her comment about him being at his place of employment for a month makes me think they are in the dark about his change after the incident on the stairs.

I enjoyed this anime regardless of the fumble towards the end. I tended not to watch Chinese anime since I am still getting use to listening to Chinese speech versus Japanese, but I am glad I took a chance on this one.

I was directed to this anime from a Mystery tag search on a streaming site. I really enjoyed this entire series with
only a few filler moments. The art was very fine and I like the style. The MC acted like an idiot many times but
I can see where mental illness might do that to him. The locked room theme was very interesting and I liked
the episodes that had them included. The music was wonderful and this anime was one of the very few that I
would sit, close my eyes, and nod my head to the opening theme. Lol. A pleasure to have watched and 9/10 for me.

This has to be incomplete because things really dont add up here. Having amnesia wouldn't make someone hallucinate nor does dissociative identity disorder so what about all that supernatural stuff? Unless Yan is being drugged on a regular basis. Also if Aiyou has such a grudge with him why did she sleep with him? Not like that helped him remember anything.

Yan obviously didnt do anything with Shi Yu, he didnt have the time to and was around other people when she was taken. That likely was something Aiyou did. Maybe the room she was put in was a recreation of one he had designed before but why endanger someone else over it? Nothing makes sense.

Hello, just wanted to fact check you about Shi Yu. He met Lou Weian at 7, Shi Yu was kidnapped at 9:40 he checked cameras about an hour later at 22:40. Just rewatched EPs 8,9 so it's fresh on my mind. The Xin Rinsheng thing confuses me tho. Like the appearance in the last episode is the only part that throws everything off for me. But the eye colours are basically the same so I think they're meant to be the same person although the last seen throws a wrench in this

Ending worsened the rest. Pointless turn of events ultimately. Buildups without any resolution = the anime. The cliffhangers are proof of that, a comedy

Also every mystery was artificial, there were no actual real stakes at the end. Visuals and vibes were the only good aspect, plus character interactions were fine
