Summary

A PE teacher, Lu Qiao, has had the same dream for three years: at a street corner, he saves a girl named Su Yue from a runaway truck. On the thousandth time, the dream changes—the truck driver Cthulhu and the shopkeeper Anubis appear, revealing that it was all a test. From then on he is drawn into "Between Dimensions," where every drink a god serves carries a unique story from some dimension—futuristic worlds, ancient worlds, superpowers, and the good and evil of human hearts unfold in turn. Through these otherworldly experiences, Lu Qiao edges closer to the truth of Between Dimensions, and in the cycle of beginnings and endings, he searches for the way back to Su Yue's side.

Editor's review

For readers who enjoy short-story anthologies, unit episodes, wildly inventive premises, and twists. Structured as "one drink, one world," it strings together multidimensional tales; the opening hook of a thousand rescue attempts is strong, the emotional thread rests on Lu Qiao and Su Yue, and the ending is complete. Its strength is imagination paired with warmth—chapters such as "Golden Angel" and "Demon Graveyard" are especially praised. The weakness is that a short-story collection is handled with the mindset of a long novel: the main thread holds together loosely, the middle section tends to drift, and the author admits in the afterword that subscriptions were poor.

Reading tips

  1. Read in volume/chapter order; each volume reads more cohesively when its early, middle, and late chapters are taken together
  2. Treat the opening "thousand rescues" test as the book's emotional baseline and watch for echoes of the Lu Qiao–Su Yue thread
  3. If the middle feels loose, skim to the drink chapters that interest you; the main plot remains understandable

FAQ

Is this a long novel or a short-story collection? It is a collection of short-story episodes strung together with a long-form mindset; each drink corresponds to a standalone world's story.
Do I need to read the author's other works first? No. The book stands alone and is regarded as a sequel to the author's short-story trilogy.
Is the ending a happy one? Yes. Lu Qiao ultimately returns to reality and to Su Yue's side, and the main thread concludes completely.

About the author

Deleba Author

Deleba, whose English byline is Deleba, has no clearly recorded nationality, dates of birth and death, or other personal details in publicly available sources, and public information about the author is limited. What can be confirmed is that the library holds five of the author's works, with representative titles including Between Dimensions, Soft, Transformed, Objects, Light, Short, Scattered, Need a Permit? Alien, and The Scythe of Slaughter. These works are commonly grouped under categories such as premium fiction, science fiction, male-oriented fiction, and Eastern fantasy, suggesting that the writing spans both science-fictional imagination and Eastern fantasy. Judging from the titles, the author favors short, playful, and even teasing names, and tends toward unconventional premises, suspense, and contrast. Because author statements and critical commentary are lacking, a full picture of the author's career and style is difficult to sketch; readers may begin with the works above and discover their narrative appeal and imaginative approach for themselves.
