The novel was great, a real gem. The MC's personality was exactly the what I love, the ghosts were funny and the ML was way too adorable (the way he talked: just too cute). I really don't agree with people saying that the ML was a creep (okay a bit I guess, but a very cute creep).

For me the best thing in this novel was the mc-ghost interactions and the ml's thoughts.

I have no idea how I got through this, it’s took me three or four tries and even then I don’t understand why. It’s not without merits, if you’re interested in an OP MC and OP obsessive male lead then this might be your cup of tea. The MC also has a slightly mischevious personality. But...

I didn’t like how pointlessly OP the MC was, this novel reminded me of one of those brainless cultivation novels where the MC just keeps getting stronger and stronger pointlessly, people fall for them, the... more>> they become a winner in life...I repeat, pointlessly. (This is not a cultivation novel but it reminded me of that stereotype). I meant to rate this two stars but it became one and I’m fine with that. What makes Xiao Li’s attitude so abnormal and yet that abnormal attitude gives him everything in the infinite flow world?

Maybe Xiao Li has some mental disorder or his brain circuits don’t work like most people and he doesn’t feel fear... then why does everything work out for him constantly??? It’s like that stereotypical cultivation MC...I think his name was Long Aotian? (I may have gotten that wrong).

I’ll compare it to another similar novel: Thriller Trainee. I actually LOVED that novel because it’s just similar enough except that the MC has setbacks (minor), a personality (with desires and a reason for his apathy), and the story was actually interesting because there was a mystery/plot reason behind the whole situation! Plus the romance was gradual, reciprocated (I’m talking to you apathetic shou mcs), and super satisfying with the whole enemy to lover trope. Still, this novel, especially the MC leave aside the ML, was so BLAND and repetitive and something in his pointless victories triggered me (in case you didn’t notice in the last 3-4 paragraphs). You may like it, got for it, but to me it was a waste of my time, especially with more than 200 chapters. <<less

The title doesn't make sense at all. The MC is the opposite of unlucky, he's outrageously lucky. Hm, very OP MC and ML (well you won't see much of ML's actions though). Very sloowww romance, they only got together at chapter 240+ 🙃. I was quite frustrated because of MC avoidance, he wants a passionate lover but always shied away when ML tried to get closer 😐. I was like 'Bruh, here's the one you want. Why you always giving him cold shoulder'.

Story wise, this novel is quite interesting. At... more>> first I thought that the MC is some kind of incarnation of an old god because I was wondering why the hell the ML so head over heels for him. In the end, the author use 'fall in love at first sight' trope. I was quite disappointed. The story is still enjoyable, that's why I managed to read this until the end and give this 4 stars <<less

i can see that this novel is not for everyone based on the reviews lol. I started reading this because I was bored and I actually liked the plot. I agree with the others saying that the MC kinda lacked emotions but so what, as long as it still keeps on making me interested.

I imagined they put up the ghosts' opinion of Xiao Li as a synopsis, it will look more interesting! I shelved this story for a few months before I picked it up last week and I'm lucky I didnt dropped it.

The horror twist is funny and I'm hooked. Xiao Li indiferent, cold and out of 'standard' attitude also very interesting. Makes me keep wondering what he will do next, guessed how he will react and try to understand how his brain actually works.

The plot in every instance worlds also interesting... more>> and thrilling on its own way and the time in every instance is not too long so its like reading a compiled short horror stories.

If you look for a fluffy cute slow burn bl, its not here. The story focused more on the instance worlds and ghosts. MC and ML interaction is cute and endearing but you wont see much of that.

Side characters also contributed to the interesting story plot. Some with brain, some with brawny and some.... to be the ghosts food reserved.

Anyway, its really a nice horror story to pass time. It gives you a creepy vibes from the ghosts and also makes you speechless by the MC out of standard reactions. Theres a lot of scenes how MC handles the ghosts that are unforgettable and makes me lmao. Like I cant believe he really did that!! <<less

God knows I dropped this novel just by looking the reviews, thank the heavens I didnt. I can re-read this just for the ghosts; its quite interesting, not eyecatching or stimulating; but overall fun to read. Wanna pass time, read this.

Its a 4 star novel, but +1 for the ghosts.

    • MC is bland? - Not quite right, he is just too lazy to care and cold. He takes the instances as games, finds them stimulating; this shows how much he lacks emotions (for outsiders), but he is good to his ghost fam and ml. Apart from being the MC he is just like an ordinary person (excpet that a ordinary person dont haunt ghosts).
    • Plot armor is..... quite heavy. but who cares he is the protagonist (default son of destiny and heaven) . He has IQ, catches the ml's secret quite fast, just ignored it. We dont get to see his thought process just the conclusion which is enough for me.
    • Creepy ML? - Yeah a little unbearable and cringey tho. In general he is like other mls; possessive, over bearing, with little black room; honestly this possessive ML troupe has become quite bland.
      Spoiler

      MC himself wants a crazy lover so a crazy lover he gets. ML touched him in dreams twice and lets not act like we havent seen this; plenty of mls do this and get called as loving. He did chain up the MC tho but he released him after thinking that MC will get hurt and angry. I dont think MC will get mad from this.

      [collapse]
ML did grow. he isnt just some crazy guy. His inner monologue although cringey, shows his development. As for the s*xual comments; at least he is honest that he wants the MC, if MC doesnt mind who are we to judge?

    • Bland romance? - Well kinda yeah if u want romance and fluff you up for a long ride. cuz MC has trust issues in relationship. Its just the mc's story
      Spoiler

      they get together around 240+

      [collapse]
      *sigh*
In conclusion, its quite a fun read, no drama and has ghosts.

This story is good. The world building is good also. But the only complaint I have is sometimes the 'solving' of some arcs are abit confusing. MC is a bit op, he is actually abit naughty but very kind. ML is is just a cinnamon roll infront of MC. Lol. He has alot of naughty thoughts towards MC but he never act on it. His obsession with MC almost psychotic but even his obsessive thought are bad, he love MC too much to actually do anything. He just take care... more>> of MC and pour vinegar everywhere and he cherished him like treasure.I love his psychotic overbearing ceo thoughts, and I love how much he cares about MC feelings and throws it out the window, and when MC just coaxed a little and he become a big kitty!
But mostly I love those bloodthirsty little ghosts! Most of them are really evil. (Cannot blame them as its their nature after become fierce ghost) But they all just very cute and big tsundare! And of course love how MC bully them until they vomits souls!lol. I gonna missed the dolly Tan Li and black cat! Thank you <<less

It's definitely beyond any expectations and I Love it way too much that I would ever expect!

MC is OP but not in Physical Strength, he's OP in Mental Strength. And rather than saying he has Luck, all his Actions lead him to his 'Good Luck'. MC's OPness is also his Brain. He's like Detective.

MC has his own pace, that he thought his 'Friendliness' wasn't something Mind-blowing for others who see his actions or get this treatments. Lol

... more>> MC is really Enjoyable Fun, Great, Lovable character! I Love him so much!

ML is something else. He's Super Obsessed and Super Pe*vert inside and he said all things when he wasn't 'human' to MC without Shame. But he's actually surprisingly very Patient when he's with MC as Human. ML never Cross any line that make MC dislike him. Part of this novel's charm was also because ML's shamelessness I think. 🤔 This novel is Horror Comedy. This novel give Creepy Horror Gore Setting, and it made us Readers shudders so many times. But then the Comedy arrived, it made us very Happy and Bright! The whole thing surprisingly balanced each other! It's Really Scary but also it's Really Funny!

The Romance is Slow. Like really Slow! The Slow Burn does not lie! But when they get together, it was with the characters' pace, and it made sense to me so it's pretty good!

The story really full of unexpected moments and even the final arc was unexpected! But I Love it! I really really LOVE this Novel from the bottom of my Heart with all part of my Heart and Soul with my Etenal Love for the Eternity and Beyond! <<less

First of all, just from the summary, the content was really unexpected. It wasn't very scary because our MC is really fearless, but I was still surprised by how horror/mystery centered this novel is! If you just read the summary, it feels like game loading? but the romance in this is sooooo slow burn but it was given focus when it was revealed so it was ok. ... more>>
Spoiler

Ofc, there weren't explicit scenes and I laughed so much when I read the comments who understood that the "........" "................" part means the papapa scenes HAHAHAH those readers are just SO used to being cheated in papapa scenes cause of censorship HAHHAHA

The side characters were so cute, I didn't expect that Xiao Li would have like, long term partners, I didn't think he would allow people to be that close to him but I guess it was fate that Zheng Yi was with him and they knew each other. Ye Zeqing was also funny, I also liked him because of his ghost body? he was really helpful and wasn't just asking questions like Zheng Yi (who is honestly the readers' representative). Wang huai was also an unexpected side character, I like him too because of the fact that he's got so many items with him hahahha and how he is fed up with XL's curiosity. ofc, our cutie ML, I like how Shen Chenzi isn't entirely OP and all the hard work was really from XL, that he didn't have to help XL with everything and was honestly just helping him from slipping and the rain HAHAHA

The ghosts are also so cute and pitiful, I loved how they helped XL in the end despite everything, it may be a bit OOC for them, but I guess the other gods are not that good to them anw, so when they helped XL, it's with some other intention which was said by the pen fairy at some point. Tan li is just <3, zhou ying, that boy is addict HAHAHA, lightbulb was really useful hahahha, the writer zui tian (?) was also used in the end, fu zige the mic was also fun to read about, bloody mary was just bullied and I love how she always ends up helping, same with the pen fairy, it was their fault that they are so easy to call hahahah there's also meiyou/ call ghost, the scalpel was also used several times. The coffin ghost was so funny. The back ghost was abused fr hahahaha it was kind of a pity that XL didn't use much of the ghost in death's laboratory like the big one? then there was also the crying woman, legs, iv ghost cutie pie, smile cut woman? forgot what she was called but she was really helpful! The beautiful ghost, fu jiang? idk but her experience was LOL. Xiao tu was just bullied. The instance with the adjudication was witty, and he used the memory ghost. captain sturt was also nice to have hahhaha. The ancient woman and stick lol. The black cat ofc <3 Then there's also the godss, lies and deaths are the ones mostly present and I just like how SC was jealous of lies hahahah and wang huai at some point.

The instance that I liked the most, is...... I'm still thinking. But the instance that was kind of messy for me, for me ah! was with captain sturt? I can't find a list of all the instances = ((. I really can't pick a favorite cause XL wasn't biased on anyone haahhaha hmm I guess the first global instance was memorable cause of how they can't talk? like I said, he just bullied all the ghosts in all instances so it was all just balanced, no favoritism hahahha but he mostly used the hospital ones and strange stories right? oh I guess I like the strange stories cause that's when he first met SC in instances and the viewers also praised him hahaha on the other hand, the prison instance where the ghost are the viewers hahahahha

Honestly, I felt kind of tired reading this because of howwww much XL like to enter instances, like u just entered one boy! I was so tired reading and thinking all that complicated stuff and want a bit of fun you know! but. you. still. kept. on. entering. instances.!!! hahahahaha I really just rest for a bit after instances cause I know XL wouldn't. I also did kind of miss the interaction with the little yellow book at some point but also happy the SC can be there physically with XL. I loved how the perspective of SC was shown at times, and I'm glad that he has met XL.

XL was also such a cutie lover. I liked him very much when he was thinking about SC, couldn't sleep cause of him. Staying away from him hahahaha and of course loving him heheheh I love how open he is with SC <333

The ending wasn't rushed I think? I like how XL became a god, tho I didn't really expect it, but again like they said, gods are just powerful ghosts so it was kind of acceptable for XL to beat a god. ofc I wanted more, esp with that last chapter of being with so many people (?) I'm so happy for him. Being a reincarnator was a gift for him. ALSO, I can't forget how funny the fights were between zheng yi and ye zeqing cause of the sherlock vs Moriarty HAHAHAHA and how XL chose a 3rd identity, LOL.

idk if I would reread, cause like I said, there are so many things happening, I can't rest while reading this hahahaha but it is recommended =))

To be honest, I enjoyed the final arc the most. The story got better as it went along.
The instances were alright, and the ghosts were the best part... but it felt like the MC is too OP so it’s not that interesting. There’s not much character development for him or the ML.

Please note that even though the ML is super clingy... this is still a shounen ai. There’s barely any hints of any activity, just kisses. The romance is a slow burn one, as even though the ML is hardcore from the get go, the MC has no interest in romance and it took a long time for him to develop interest.

Chef's kiss, five out of five will read again.

I'm a scaredy cat so the ghost aspect makes me think about it a little, but oh boy the story is so funny! Every instance is different and non repetitive so you won't feel bored after some worlds. The gong is literally obsessed about shou and he owns up to it but the shou also want to be loved obsessively so they ends up just being cute, not scary at all.

This is such an amazing story, many good creepy moments, cute, comedy, and the ML possessiveness is like any other ML novel but this one specifically can hold himself back, respecting the MC, giving him space, full affection, clingy but a cute form kind of way. I enjoyed this novel very much, thank you to the translators and editors out there for making this story possible for ppl like us to read and Happy New Year 🎉

I love MC cool & indifferent nature, with the storyline it's make me feel horror and comedy at the same time. I didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

At the beginning of the story it is very thrilling and intriguing. However, as it nears the end of the story, many things become convoluted and make it seem like they are in a hurry to finish the story.
I was still disappointed because there was no "you know what" scene with the yaoi tag, I thought with a bold attitude of ML such a scene would definitely arrive, but no. It's very dissapointing and frustrating

First and foremost wow this was such enjoyable sht to read that I legit missed school for 3 days cause I couldn't sleep because I got scared but even so this novel Is so enjoyable that even me who dislikes horror couldn't even help myself to read it continuously rolls dawn that's jut how good it is

Next what I want to discuss alot of the character r so Fcking Likeable even the ghost 🤣 the MC would always smh turn a super terrifying situation into something so Fcking funny it's... more>> worthy of being in the Horror Comedy genre

For example
Spoiler

My girl Tan Li (Ah she's so cute 🥺 also quite loyal) and Zhou Ying (That Kid) who also always stays by the MC and the Black Cat (Cap. Sturt too probably?) Are like the only ghost (esp Tan Li) Who could Stand MC unlike the other ghost like bloody Mary, Pen Fairy, and etc Who is so done with him and he even got called the devil Because the way he makes friend with them is for them abuse 🤣🤣🤣

[collapse]

Also
Spoiler

in the end our MC became a god like his boyfriend... I meant husband 😅

[collapse]

And beside that AhhHHh there's so much good point to the story Yes it gives u goosebump when u read it but at the same time you could also be laughing, so it was a nice feeling, ah the human friends are also good tho like Zheng Yi (Second rich Generation who acts pretty so cute), Old Wang and idk how to spell the other 😅

Ah also some of the gods
Spoiler

my man made God rise/swim in septic tank and also spread rumour about a dating scandal 🤣🤣🤣

[collapse]

Idk what else to say except this is such an enjoyable novel to read I rate 4, 9/5 missing that perfect score just because I couldn't stand horror the con of this novel for me is probably just sometimes there r like translator mistakes but you don't need to mind that cause it won't bother you too much <<less

This story is fun to read with genre horror & comedy. MC has unique way in handling each ghost & it never fail to make me laugh till the end of the book. Romance progress in this book developed very slow. But for me it is not a big problem as I am a person who care more on plot & their romance progress still developing even it is very slow. ML is not a character who truly indifferent towards ML. It just he has personality who difficult to open... more>> his heart unless he truly believe his lover will stay with him forever. ML is super possessive & always protect MC in dangerous situation. For me, this type of ML still can be accepted. Even ML is so strong but he seldom participate in discussion & give opinion in solving cases. He never interrupt MC in his mission & let him solved it by his own ability. I like to see MC be independent rather than depend on ML all the time. But I also hope ML showed more roles in instance but he can't because a specific reason. He more like a background in each instance when MC doing his mission. ML more like a bodyguard or butler to MC. There are a lot of review stated that this novel lacking in romance but at the end of the story there are more dog food & fluffy moments between MC & ML. Just need to be patient to read & enjoy the story. By the way, for me this novel deserve 5 stars because it never make me feel boring & able make me to feel rilex and laughing till the end. <<less

Its pretty alright and a somewhat good read.

the starting was really good and interesting but later on it became more and more bland and confusing.
Spoiler

I really found the ghost writer thing really confusing. It was super hard to make any sense of it but it was also an interesting idea but it was poorly written and made it very dull

[collapse]

the final chapters seem too rushed, maybe it's just me but I was hoping to have it more gradually.
Spoiler

the whole reality breaking was kind of foreshadowed and I thought there would be a lot more instances in reality until the breaking point comes. Like reality finally cracks slightly and then the finale happens.

[collapse]

the MC and the ML are really bland. It's somewhat funny and all but after some time it just gets bland.

Spoiler

I really loved the whole Sherlock, Moriarty and Hercule identity thing. It is the main and the most hilarious joke in the book.

[collapse]

some instances don't have any logic and the lore is honestly confusing.
Spoiler

the gods being powerful ghosts was interesting but there could have been a lot more depth into it.

The existence of judges could be more developed.

[collapse]

his poke- I mean ghost collection is very entertaining and one of the pros of the book.

Spoiler

“The god of fear and bad luck.” that's the last line and it ended on the highest note possible. I loved that he turned into a god that he already embodied to ghosts. But honestly if gods are ghosts does that mean he died?

[collapse]

it can be very funny but in overall plot wise not so good.

but it is a pretty alright book and the translation is very good.

TLDR- The beginning's real good, the ending's rushed, the MC and ML are bland, lore is somewhat interesting but very confusing and not well developed. The mc's ghost collection rule!

Don't overlook the fact that the first genre listed is Comedy with a capital C. The MC is a bad ass and the story sells meng, not scares. And why must ghosts be malevolent? Maybe ghosts just need someone to talk to. Love the Little Yellow Book. Love the sidekicks.
