Have you ever seen a blind boy crossing the street with a bottle of peanut oil? Lin Qiyue, the protagonist of *I Learn to Slay Gods in a Mental Hospital*, is exactly that kind of unforgettable character from the very first scene. His eyes are wrapped in black silk, yet he claims he can “see”—not a lie, but a truth: when he closes his eyes, he perceives the entire world. At age seven, he looked up and locked eyes with a seraph on the moon, losing his sight but being chosen by the gods. Yet the story doesn’t turn into preachy dogma. Instead, it drags you straight into a neon-lit city crawling with ancient monsters beneath the surface. Masked demons, snake spirits, parasitic beings lurking in schools... Lin Qiyue doesn’t want to be a hero—he just wants to protect his shabby but warm home. But when Zhao Kongcheng faces the abyss with his blade, staining the sky red, and when that laid-back uncle teaches him with his life that “millions stand behind you,” he finally picks up the sword. From betrayal by classmates to killing the Ghostface King, from rejecting the Night Watch to joining them willingly—every step walks the razor’s edge between fear and resolve. The real thrill isn’t his cheat-like power—it’s that even though he’s terrified, he still turns back. Keep reading, and you’ll find a mental hospital that imprisons the Goddess of Night, a rich kid who smashes training grounds with cash, and a boy swinging his blade under the moonlight, step by step walking toward his own divine realm.
