Imagine waking up in a room straight out of a horror flick, clueless about how you got there. The walls inch closer, your only companions being a computer and a flood of unanswered questions. Welcome to the gripping world of Confined Room, a manhwa that’s tailor-made for thriller aficionados. But the real mystery? Finding where this suspenseful journey begins is a puzzle in itself.

 

So, what’s the deal with Confined Room?

Meet Xiaocao, a sharp high schooler with a knack for prying into secrets and navigating the digital world like a pro. She takes a peek into the online life of Leyi, a cute classmate she fancies, only to stumble upon something she shouldn’t have. Panicked, she sends Leyi an anonymous warning, intending to spook him—only to find herself in deep trouble. Leyi vanishes without a trace, followed by Xiaocao herself a few days later. Now trapped in a locked room with just her computer, Xiaocao must unravel the mystery: who put her here, and can her tech skills save her?

 

Where’s the manhwa at?

Unfortunately, Confined Room hasn’t fully made its English debut yet. It’s not lounging on popular platforms like WEBTOON, but intrepid fans have spotted it on sites like BAOZIMH—albeit in Chinese. If you’re feeling adventurous, a translation app might bridge the gap. MANHWATOP and MANHWADEN offer the first four translated chapters, while Reddit buzzes with a growing community eagerly awaiting an official English release. With its rising popularity, fingers crossed that Confined Room scores an English translation soon. Until then, keep your eyes peeled on Manhwa hubs and online forums for updates.
