It's quite entertaining. The premise is basically encounters with the supernatural, with an MC having a system closely intertwined with said encounters, much like a horror game as seen from the third person perspective. First off, the horror aspect - It's not so much as uncanny, gore, jump scare, or the grim kind of horror. I'd like to point out that I'm fairly scared of horror genre, however, the horror of this work is portrayed as such that I can read it before sleeping and even be curious about what... more>> will happen next. It's the similar kind of horror like the movies "Casper", "Ghost busters", and others along that spectrum. Basically, it's the comedic kind of horror, and the way this is possible is because of the main cast, which is the second point. They're kids in high school and although they're sensible people, they act their age; that is to say that they've got that curiosity, innocence, and vigor to face something head on, albeit of course their fear being evident. The protagonist and the main characters are quite likeable as they have differing personalities, offering a multitude of reactions to their encounters. Although likeable, they still have their own set of flaws, characterized by their circumstances

-To summarize, it's lighthearted horror with a touch of comedy, a decent mystery to pique sufficient amount of curiosity, vivid descriptions and interesting moments to retain engagement, and a cast of fleshed out characters encompassing it all.

Preference is subjective, and interest is an acquired taste. What's good enough can be eaten and should not leave for the next day until rotten. So, try it, it might suit your taste, kek.

This part might seem like kissing up to the translator for a chapter and it is, lololol... but the translation quality is quite good. The point gets conveyed across, and although there are some awkward reads due to minimal grammatical error, it shouldn't matter much as it's quite cohesive and can be comprehended, anyway. <<less

Pretty interesting. They basically experience a dead by daylight-esque game and supernatural events start occuring as well.

It also reads more like a jp novel rather than kr novel.

Need more chapters.

TL is average, it just reads awkwardly. There isn't a good hook or a reason to keep reading. MC doesn't seem terribly interesting either. It has a system and status window, etc. Just feels awkwardly put together.

For now a tentative 4.5, but things look really promising

20 chapters in and the basic premise is, for those who are curious, a guy exploring, surving, and interacting various haunted places and ghosts.

I personally think that the guy (without realizing) unsealed an old school building, revealed to be built atop a graveyard, and is now dealing with the fallout

It reminds me a little of "My House of Horrors" (totally recommend checking that out btw).

So far it doesn't appear to be a one man show, some of the novel's substance comes from the other characters which is a plus for me.

Edit: Not so much hidden mastermind so far though <<less

It's the third work I'm reading from this author, and I'm liking it as I like the other two (Taming the villainesses and Pseudo-illegal resident or whatnot I don't remember the full titles). The mystery elements give a nice spin to the system trope, whilst the story proceeds with an enjoyable pace. The translation from NorneTL is really good, enough to transmit the comic undertone that permeates the work. Hoping to see more of it!

Interesting, reminds me of the mystery of hotel novel, lots of plot twists in this novel and the MC and the side-characters are fleshed out and feel human. Translation is good as well. Give it a try it won't disappointment.
