The Subconscious of The Damn Mountain
An international high school teenager named Shouichi Desterling often idled away his time, letting his thoughts run rampant with a wild imagination. However, those intrusive thoughts were well-contained within his mind.
Following the recent passing of his father, Shouichi was transferred back to his hometown, Kurohashi, to live with his long-separated mother — the only family he had left. Kurohashi is a secluded small town, surrounded by mountains on all sides. Despite its seemingly ordinary appearance and a minuscule population of just 5,000, the village harbours an oddity: the only way in or out is via a gloomy steel bridge.
Not long after his arrival, Shouichi quickly bonded with his classmates, experiencing the semblance of a normal high school life and even finding love. Yet, amid this ordinary existence, he began seeing and feeling inexplicable “things.” Were these strange occurrences mere tricks of his mind, or was there something truly sinister lurking in the shadows?
As events unfolded, Shouichi found himself increasingly unable to suppress his mounting insanity and the dark urges creeping into his thoughts.
Each day, the air around him grew denser and heavier, as though the very atmosphere bore the weight of an unseen menace.

~ Thank you for reading! ~
The Damn Mountain is a Rom/Com light novel with an implication on Horror, Mystery, and subtly 'Tragedy'. The premise of the first instalment is a boy, living his seemingly ordinary life in a secluded town but soon he encounters strange phenomena with everything residing within, ex. a strange stare from his long-departed mother, a weird girl at the bookstore, drunk people without a single alcohol store, a psychotic injure man that can walk despite his broken leg, etc. The longer he stays, the worse it becomes! Also, I'm the author, Joe-ing! Thank you for reading! Fufu~!
Spooky, funny, and super fun read (Need to read at least 2 chapters to really get things going, each chapter is quite long tho, lmao, I binged 4 chapters in one go!) The writer ain't just some broke, he, the man with a plan for real, I stumbled on his light novel by mistake, but overall i enjoyed the set-up that weirdass town, people, tone, the char designs, foreshadowing? the story which center around Rom-Com at first, but tinged with Horror or whatever. (We wouldn't know yet.) A lot of potential for this novel, also, love your complimentary images. Feels like reading a light novel. Can't complete without some photos then and there. Keep up the good work, Joe-ing! Give me some sweet tragedy fufufu!
Wow! That's quite a compelling and fun story, featuring romantic comedy with a hint of horror! Although the story focused on the first part, it didn't lack the horror department, some scene is real disturbing! The trio (Shinji-my favourite!, Shouichi, and Ayane) are absolutely interesting with multi-layer depths, and likeable characters. Also, I can't believe what happened to Misaki too. What a shocker! The town, Kurohashi, is definitely going to be Silence Hill or some!? Why is everyone acting so weird? Surely the author has more in store for us. Imagine reading 'Oshi No Ko' + (Zombie or maybe not?) on steroids! Hahaha!
Oh, my👀surely not something to read at night, (get your crucifix people) I like the spacing between horror and romcom, 🙃it doesn't spook that much
