Got Dropped into a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work

For hesitant readers:

This is one of those one-in-a-million stories that uses its premise to its fullest. The main character’s knowledge gives him an advantage, but doesn’t make him so overpowered that it gets stale, and this keeps the ghost stories frightening, as you really don’t know for sure who’s safe. Secondly, this story has quite an interesting world instead of a copy pasted dungeon-system world. This keeps it from feeling fresh and prevents it from feeling like a world you’ve already seen before. The main character describes himself as cowardly, but it never prevents the plot from happening in a way that feels frustrating to the reader. The story also avoids feeling too repetitive by consistently having new and interesting developments to the main character’s story. There’s also enough mystery around to always keep you on the edge of your seat. 10/10 plot wise.

Talking more about the manhwa side of things, the art is great, especially for the ghosts. You can tell that great care went into making the ghosts really feel unnerving, which adds to the unpredictability of them. While an art style is objective, I don’t think any reader could see any issues with the way characters are drawn so that shouldn’t be an issue. And no issues with translation so far. They did change Roe Deer to Noru, but it’s just a difference in naming, no issue. 8.7/10

If you’re a scaredy cat like me, no worries, the ghosts look a little frightening, but this story focuses more on tension and anxiety, rather than pure jumpscares, so no worries there either.

Also, the side characters in this story are written pretty well, they aren’t forgotten by the story, and they all feel like real people.7.6/10

That’s my review, so in short, about a 9/10, please do give it a try!
