The Neurotic World

Summary
The Neurotic World is the debut novel of the online writer Douzi Rede Huo (a native of Tianjin and a contracted author on Qidian), a completed long-form web novel blending time travel, fantasy, and comedy. The protagonist, Dong Yang, is confined in a mental hospital; one day he and his companions "break out," planning to travel to London to watch the Olympics, but a muffled thunderclap strikes them and sends them to another world. From then on, on the unfamiliar continent of that other world, he continues to contend with the "opponents" in his own mind, getting drawn into conflicts in an absurd yet stubborn way. The book is known for its first-person-style banter and buffoonery, and its protagonist carries the earnest, straightforward temperament typical of the author's characters. The story features fantasy elements such as necromancers and evil spirits, along with the author's humorous mismatches between reality and fantasy. The author himself recalls frankly that this was an early work whose results were not ideal, but he insisted on serializing it to completion, and it thus formed the narrative foundation of later works such as Little Immortal Is Poisonous, Moving the Mountain, and Ascending to Evil: slow-burning, humorous, and with tightly interlocking plots.
Editor's review
这是豆子惹的祸的“第一本书”，也是他与读者结缘的起点。比起后来获得网络文学双年奖的《升邪》，或是口碑更盛的《小仙有毒》，《神经天下》显然还带着青涩的痕迹：世界观铺陈偏慢，文字略显随意，但那股“不正经”的幽默感、主角憨直又犟的性格，已经相当鲜明。它适合想追溯豆子创作脉络的老读者，也适合喜欢轻松搞笑穿越文的书友当作消遣。需要提醒的是，本书为早期网络连载作品，仅以网络文本流传，未见正式纸质出版物；阅读时不妨抱着“看一位作者年轻时练笔”的心态，反而更容易收获意外的乐趣。
