Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Hello, everyone! My name is Shen Jianguo. I am a night school instructor teaching ideological development and Marxist philosophy, occasionally analyzing recent policies and measures for my students.

All my classes are held in the middle of the night; I’ve never seen my coworkers or students during the day. The training institute’s classrooms are all in abandoned schools, hospitals, or residences. The license plate number of the bus that picks me up is 444; it always arrives at my house at precisely midnight and disappears at five in the morning.

What? You’re saying I’ve met a ghost? Impossible! As a staunch scientific materialist, I absolutely don’t believe there’s any such thing as ghosts!

I’ve only had one problem recently: couldn’t the training institute hold its classes a little earlier? Wouldn’t around 8 PM do? I fear neither heaven nor hell, but I do fear going bald.

First of all, the premise is unique among the other BL novels here. That alone is worth 3 stars.

Secondly, both MC and ML have really good personalities! And the interactions between them are sweet and funny.

Lastly, what a healthy story! There are horror and tragic elements written into it but the story itself still somehow gives you hope for the future. It's the same feeling you get when the first rays of sunlight breaks through the rain clouds after a whole night of rain.

5/5 will recommend.

THIS IS A MUST READ!!!

It's not too long of a read, so I won't do an in-depth review. Just that, the MC and ML are completely totally loveable, and the cast is memorable. As well, the humour HILARIOUS and spot-on.

Despite Teacher Shen's personality being exactly the opposite as what I look for in protagonists, oblivious and innocent, he has managed to secure a solid spot in my heart. Never have I ever so deeply resonated with the ML lol, going from somewhat looking down at the MC, to admiring him, and eventually, to falling in love with him. There's really no other reason for this but the fact that he's just such such SUCH a good person. His blatant care and dedication for his students made me want to... more>> cry multiple times while reading. There's a quote that the ML says that I think really fits with the MC:

"I've never seen another person like you. Every moment you overturn everything I've ever known. Every action you take makes me honor you."

A review below mentions Teacher Shen's similarity to Koro-sensei from assassination classroom, and I wholeheartedly agree.

I usually avoid short stories because I don't find them to be memorable or time worthy... but THANK GOD I was bored enough to read this. <<less

Hilarious with hints of romance and philosophy sprinkled in, this story made me bend over double in laughter more times than I could count!

Shen Jianguo, an ideology and politics graduate, is possibly the most oblivious man when it comes to the supernatural. And unexpectedly, this fact combined with his innate sense of righteousness, is what helps him become the inadvertent exorcist of a class of ghosts. The end goal being "graduation" aka, transcending to be reborn.

The fact that he does his actual job of exorcism, while believing he is only... more>> a simple teacher with important life values to impart, makes for a humorous read. Especially when the resident Chief Cultivator, Ning Tiance, keeps trying and failing to persuade him about the existence of ghosts.

Short and meaningful plot, well written characters and for a truly wonderful time that I had while reading this, I definitely recommend!

PS: The translator has a done a brilliant job as well, which just adds to it! <<less

This was very funny and sweet

I really loved the oblivious teacher shen.

Instead of the ghosts scaring humans, all the ghosts ended up being scared instead.

Haha a really good read!

Haha, great story!! Normally I would have rated 5 stars, but honestly, I think the overall rating is a little too high so I took down one. Quite comical and interesting, definitely very refreshing.

I love the MC so much. He's hilarious! He's very dense, but not in the typical annoying way. Rather, it's comical and highlights his genuine care for his students and his good heart. I also like the ML, he's not the typical OP ML from most stories at all. He's caring and their relationship is very sweet.

This... more>> story also excels at developing its side characters. Honestly, the goals are a little ambitious so there's still some plotholes (like I feel there could've been a better background for principal zhang? How could she have a part in all the students' lives smh those are all the fierce ghosts of H city!). Also, they didn't really explain why MC is the way he is. Anyway, for the most part it was very well handled given the length of the story. It didn't feel like anything was dragging on; at an appropriate time, MC learned the truth, and the story changed. It did feel a little bit like the author had to cut it short, but it wasn't too bad and wrapped up nicely.

All in all, recommended! Thanks to the translating group for their hard work! <<less

An incredibly humorous, well-paced BL novel (surprisingly deep as well) paired with a great translation.

If you're not a fan of horror, I would still recommend this. This novel isn't so much horror as more of a thriller/comedy mix. The MC is never written as in any real danger and the horror elements are treated with extreme ignorance for the comedy.

Love a strong, righteous (but very forgiving) MC. Other reviewers have described him as "lovable" which definitely fits. Really couldn't ask for a more wholesome story.

The only lack is PDA ???

I really love this story, it not only about trancending the fierce gost but also the life value that been welk crafted in this short story.

I really love on how the MC use his righteous brain and heart to teach the students, and how he flirt with the ML ???

... more>> For those who wants a hilarious short story with no heavy romance, this story suit you best.

I just wish we could get many extra with many perspective view... I wonder how the other students view MC ?? <<less

This is a new twist from the typical horror/ghost bl novels!

Summary:

Shen JianGuo is an upright Masters degree holder in political science/ideology. Finding a job with a degree in political science/ideology is difficult! After submitting job applications and being rejected by multiple companies, our MC is feeling down in the dumps when miraculously, one of the company responded back! But suspiciously enough, the job description is to teach students in the middle of the night? Desperate for a job that includes housing, the MC bravely marches forward to teach ghosts on... more>> Marxism and how to establish a correct world view!

MC: a super upright and strong believer of science and Marxism. The power of faith and righteousness can exorcist ghosts and transcend the evil! (Literally)

ML: a "celestial master" taught to exorcist ghosts since young and heir to a sect

ghosts: only want to reincarnate yet are subjected to a political ideology course and abused by the teacher

Overall:

I am super satisfied with this novel! From the overpowered MC that can kickass to the poor ghosts that are scared to tears, this story is a breath of fresh air! I wish there were more unconventional stories like this one that brings smiles and laughter to the reader! <<less

Really wonderful read. Its considering a quite a light read. It’s abit like the master’sun, because most ghost had a very sad stories. But you have alots of laughter on Teacher Shen dialogs ar what actually happening. The fluff, I wish there’s more. But with such short chapter it’s wrap up nicely. Great translation and a recommended read. Tq

This was pretty good for a short read. Had it's comedic moments, a little bit of romance, and interesting ghosts.

I only had some minor complaints. The first being the story was too short for what was being set up, but I don't think I wanted his naiveness going on longer. Just something was missing.
Spoiler

the idea of him staying at the school to and helping the ghost intrigued me, but then all of a sudden the principal is actually dying and he will need to do a 23 ghost transcending ritual.

[collapse]

The other issue I had are with the extras. While I liked the POV of the bus driver ghost, I found the one with the ML POV didn't give much insight that we didn't already know. I would have much preferred more about his new job or romantic moments between MC and ML.

Nice and short!! Super satisfying ending for ALL characters. The romance is severely underdeveloped so that’s why I only rated this 4 stars. Still an enjoyable read, funny! Not scary at all!

4/5

I've read a lot of webnovels now so I'm writing brief reviews to help myself remember :)

What I remembered most:

  • my first non-xianxia danmei
  • oh my god the comedy tag was not lying, I was busting a gut laughing
  • love me an emotionally dense but intellectually competent shou
  • it was short and sweet and the plot kept a nice pace
  • I like that it wasn't love at first sight for the ML and they were forced to work together
  • I also like that MC attracted all these disasters and had to have ML come lend a hand
  • omg MC took his ghost-teaching job so seriously kjasdhfjklsaf babes the job market is bad I know but ur students are covered in maggots and trying to kill u (Ｔ▽Ｔ)
Why I liked this:

  • so funny
  • but also a storyline that was genuinely heartfelt at moments
  • MC cares so much for his students 。゜゜ (´Ｏ`) ゜゜。 he solves their ghost problems in creative ways
  • tbh not much development on the ML and I didn't like the extras bc it was just a superficial retelling from ML's POV
  • but you know the shou is (almost) always my fav and this sweetheart here made everything so worth it~~

I wasn’t sure if I should read this at first hahahaa glad I did!!! The MC way of thinking is just hilarious. Though I think the romance is a bit rush, I love both MC and ML. I love how MC “you know what” on the bus to Manager xia on the bus. I laughed my a** off. Recommend. 4.6/5⭐️

Short cute story about struggling young teachers first job and it's a ghost school! But he is too dense to realize that all other teachers and students are ghosts. He thinks they're weird but it pays well, teaching hours are short, and has a free accommodation! He is not going to complain. He helps each of them to reach afterlife.

Not much romance, it's only towards the end. And MC here is much stronger than ML.

Plot: 5/5

I'll keep this short. Just like the story.

The plot is very simply, but it was also very interesting equally. As far as I remember, there was no hole in the plot, as it was very simplistic.

... more>> The pacing is normal. Not too fast for the readers to not understand, not also too slow for the readers to get bored of reading it until the end.

The gore was not much honestly, but it was quite detailed in a few scenes.

In other words, the plot and pacing are perfectly balanced.

Romance: 5/5

The romance is quite slowburn, probably because of the main characters. But now that slowburn though. You can see the development of their relationship in every chapter. They have a very harmonious relationship, one that I rarely see when I read danmeis.

MC is ignorant, so ML protects him. ML is too serious, so MC is that one safe place ML has.

This might make it sound like the MC is weak but... If you read the early chapters of this danmei, you'd certainly would not be able to say that MC is weaker than ML. They're of equal strength and they really are a power couple if you think about it.

Main Characters: 5/5

Ah... How do I say this... I really love the main characters! Their characters were really refreshing!

The MC is definitely cute and the ML is far from the usual danmei male leads, and I love it.

I love how MC tries to teach the ghosts the human laws and when he finds out they are ghosts, he wanted to teach them ghosts rules. He's so upright and so cute istg, plus, he has a buzz cut?? I love Teacher Shen! I'd do everything to have him as my teacher.

Side Characters: 5/5

While I really love the main characters with all my heart, I also love the side characters very much!

All their character traits are so distinct and so unique! They are all special in their own way so I am able to remember them very well. I love the side characters, the living ghost girl is so relatable too. I hate tests to the point I would really run away lmao.

Overall: 5/5

After reading a few chapters, I really thought that it was boring and that it didn't match my type of genre. So I dropped it and ignored it for months until I was looking for more Cyan Wings work since I liked the Venerable Also Wants To Know and I started reading it again. I didn't think that I would binge it in a day...

Overall, this one is so good! It didn't need a lot of chapters and a complicatedly deep plot to be a good story. The plot was so easy to follow so I recommend it to new readers! <<less

I read this on a whim because the discription grabbed me and I have never recommended any other novel so quickly to my friends. Personally, my only complaint is that it's too short!

Spoliers!!

I very much enjoyed the concept, the plot was well paced and proceeded quickly but not so rushed as you couldn't follow what was happening. I loved the sde characters, they were all memorable without being overshadowing to the MC. There are some brief mentions of gore and body horror, but it's also very refreshing to see how... more>> the MC handles these with the utmost seriousness even as you, the reader, snicker knowing that he's expending all these efforts over ghosts.

A couple people have already mentioned that the romance was not as well developed as it could have been, and I agree with that but I also think that it wasn't the main point of the novel. (I know, odd for a danmei). If you read the story the romance is second place in the MC's mind because he wants to put his students first as he firmly believes a good teacher should. In that context, I feel the romance is perfectly balanced with this novel, and I also think it was cute and sweet.

My only complaint was the Love Intrest went from somewhat frosty to "omg this guy's is precious I must keep him" literally overnight, so it was a little bit odd - but it didn't really interfere with the flow of the story, and the author did explain the LI pov in the extras so you can follow his logic there. <<less

This is hilarious and I love how oblivious the MC was with everything and was incredible scary to everyone else. The romance isn't the main story here, definitely way in the background, so don't read this for any great building of emotions. Read this to laugh and have a good time.
