They All Say I’ve Met a Ghost

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.

Ahhh, extremely cute and comedic! &Gt;.<

ML's POV was such a great additional aspect to read through - it brings more context to the ghost world and especially the romance between them

MC is way too 'dense', more like he's too materialistic, scientific and super righteous - he's literally like no such thing as ghosts, only people that need to learn about law and Marxism XD but that just makes MC's actions adorable

Anyways, this is definitely something that should be read. It's short (too short tho TAT), sweet, cute, and hilarious!

The reviews didn't lie, this was such a good novel. You'll definitely love all characters especially the MC. The right amount of chapters is what made me pleased as well. It's not too fast nor too slow. Everything felt natural, even their love story. It was a fun and heartwarming type of novel. Give this a try!

Humorous ghost story. But still scary, should read at daytime. Nothing sexual, no more than kissing. Recommended.

I laugh like a madman when reading this. A pure 5 star for the funny plot, and I really love our pure hearted silly loving MC. One of the best MC in danmei world! He didn’t have an easy life, but he always stay positive, hold his integrity, understanding, loving, such a great character I always want to be (i tried but until today I still be a selfish cold blooded money oriented b*tch).

No drama, no dogblood, even the romance is not really sweet, but you’ll find yourself can’t stop... more>> reading till the end. <<less

Im a fan of horror stories and this novel is really good at that!! Although I think some parts are scary even for me, the MC does a great job at calming and lowering my fear meter. If you're someone who's spooked easily but loves a great thrill - this one might interest you!!

I absolutely like the MC! This novel is not only give us a pure comedy, but also a good plot in horror or supernatural world. I absolutely adore the ML as well! He is very adorable!

I can only give this a pure 5 stars for the comedy, good plot, interesting extra chapters using the POV of other characters to see the novel involving the MC, and satisfying translation! It's short enough to finish in one day or one night.

The writing style took a bit to get used to, but this is an adorable story (and not in the cute couple way). While I always appreciate a good couple, it was not at all the focus of the story. I appreciate that.

Overall, a fun and entertaining story of a guy who just always does his best and successfully does not pass along any secondhand embarrassment to me.

Rating: 4.5/5- This was really interesting and unique.

I really liked the MC- he was such a lovely character and so true to his ideals. His kindness and dedication to doing what’s right made this a wonderful and warm hearted novel.

The ghosts were also really interesting with very heartbreaking backgrounds. I think the message of bullying was highlighted and doing what’s right, no matter what, came across well.

Highly recommend reading this for the novelty and MC.

5/5 Stars!! I have fallen in love with this novel. It has comedy, romance, a touch of horror/intrigue and most importantly heart.

You really feel for all the characters/their pasts and hope for their better future.

Its only a bit unfortunate we didn't get to spend more time with the class.

I definitely recommend this!!

Best story I've read in a while. Excellent, complete translation (note: Difu = Underworld). Very funny, interesting, felt like a perfect short plot, ending, and epilogues. I don't even like supernatural or modern or BL stories, but after reading this story and New Times, New Hell, I think I need to read more.

The MC is a super goody-two-shoe ideological politics teacher with a super Yang energy body. He inadvertently terrorizes his class of fierce ghosts into ... more>>
Spoiler

good behaviour/redemption/reincarnation.

[collapse]

The ML is a highly superstitious cult disciple out to save the world from fierce ghosts. Being a responsible member of society, the MC tries to reform him, because there is no such thing as ghosts....

I highly recommend this little gem of a novel. <<less

“Even though I'm a virg*n, my spirit is still indomitable, and my conscience is clear.”—c3

A cute & simple novel starring a realist, monk, & a lot of ghosts. MC is 26, a virg*n blessed with plentiful yang energy, & is broke. After finally landing a teaching position, he realizes that his students may be of the... stranger side of the spectrum. I mean, what’s with the bloody appearances, hair floating in toilets, & ghastly pale complexion? Even the lodging provided is said to be haunted... well to MC, as long... more>> as he gets paid, all is well! Using his innate power of yang along with his strong sense of righteousness & Marxist philosophy, MC is able to wrangle all of his naughty ghost students. & ML, who is the infamous monk tasked to get rid of spirits, is left dumbfounded on the side.

OK, it’s funny & nonsensical. Simply a cute read if you want a good laugh & a cute CP. The focus is mainly on the MC’s interactions with his students, but the gradual buildup with the ML is sweet af. The plot resembles New Times, New Hell- a hilarious supernatural novel carrying similar themes. Overall, an enjoyable read! <<less

It's actually a 4.5 in my heart. It was almost perfect, but I think the rest of the ghosts could have been fleshed out a bit more. The MC was just hilarious: he was always in terrible situations with ghosts, but he still refused to believe they were real. And the ML was like, "Welp, he's getting rid of them better than I am, so..." and fell in love with him very naturally. I'd like to see more of this kind of story, where the romance is not central to... more>> the story, but it happens in a way that it doesn't feel forced. <<less

i only have three words to describe this novel.

"My Favorite novel." 💕

Admit it, although some of us, are always looking for a good BL/Yaoi novel to read, but sometimes, we're lurking around here just to find A good novel to read, and this one is extremely good. It has all the things that I want, The Feels, The simplicity, Love, the silliness of an MC/ ML being low-key for a change, and the other characters didn't act as a passerby, but also gave us those feels that made us laugh... more>> and cry.. To the point that I don't want to let go of those good natured Students and super reliable principal. 😭 Thank you so much author.

After rereading this novel for the 5th times, I found myself ordering a Dragon/Phoenix Yin Yang necklace. Daym! 🤣🤣🤣 <<less

I was reading one of the author's recent story being translated that I wasn't aware her other story. After finishing this one I gotta say this author has a pretty good humor also keeping characters as consistent as possible.

It's like reading a funny dark humor to cleanse that inner darkness within you. But also indulging cute CP's. It's too bad that this story is short but it ended pretty nicely and some nice short side story to finish this off.

I really like the premise that by some bad luck this... more>> one normal guy got a job teaching ghost children and then unknowingly getting them bullied xD

I thought the ML would be a ghost but nope. But the two relationships are pretty great. I like their interactions and also although the romance is concluded quickly it doesn't feel forced.

It's a great read for a past time and a good laughs when you're down. <<less

Righteous protagonist? Sounds about right.

In a good way, though! This makes him completely oblivious to his predicaments. Although he might have gotten a close look at the situation but he chose to disregard it because of his plausible theories that relate to his sense of 'reality'. This was really the common theme in the story and what made every chapter hilarious. I loved MC's interaction with everyone, be it ghosts or people.

Although it's a first POV, the author did a splendid job making me appreciate the side characters more than... more>> the main character. The little information here and there really helped shape the side characters. It was also quite ironic how MC was oblivious to everything except his feelings. He knew he liked men and he right away admitted to himself that he liked the ML. Speaking of interactions, MC and ML conversations were just out of the living world. I was impressed by how they could still communicate despite the misunderstandings. Lmao

If you worry that this common theme of obliviousness will stay throughout the story:

Spoiler

Don't be! Later on, MC finally figured out that they were ghosts! It took him a bit of time because he was adamant that ghosts don't exist.

[collapse]

The description was not completely graphic but just the right amount for readers to digest the information. I think you will appreciate it. I didn't laugh hysterically, but I truly appreciate the comedic undertone. Since this story is relatively short, it did miss out on things such as a good relationship development between MC and ML. The author didn't delve into MC's background either. In a sense: what made MC so OP? Other than that, I really enjoyed reading this. I'm so glad I came across this novel or else I will miss out on some good reading! <<less

That was a pretty good read, lol. It's light and funny. I wish there were more extras about the MC's life in the sect or him being together with the ML.

I didn't expect it to be that good to read, even with how the MC tells about marxism and communism, which makes me cringe a bit, lol.

But I really like it and I recommend reading it.

I wish there's a sequel, and maybe with a yaoi undertone, lmao
