“I wasn’t born a lucky person, I’m just too strong.”
On his way home late in the evening, Xiao Li found a letter asking for help and inexplicably came to an unknown place. He had to finish the task given before he could succeed in returning to reality. In the legendary haunted school, Xiao Li looked at his companions’ task of ‘survive until dawn’ and then looked at the tasks displayed in his book:
Tell me your name.
Tell me what you like.
Kiss me.
Xiao Li: ????
He was very confused and then refused.

- The more I read MCs with this kind of apathetic-to-life, treating-the-instances-like-games personality, the more picky I become. I think it takes really good writing to make it seem at all realistic: other novels I've enjoyed have given reasons why the MCs can behave like they do (e.g.: in I Heard that I'm Super Fierce, the whole thing is a game; in A Crowd of Ghosts Lines Up to Confess to Me the MC has interacted with and been pestered by ghosts since he was young so of course he's not going to be scared of them; and in Congratulations on Your Successful Escape the MC still feels fear). The MC in this novel just comes off as... cheap. His "novel" was of dealing with ghosts rings hollow when there's nothing to back it up.
- It's true that there's basically no logic to the instances. If the MC wasn't there to "light the way" for the supporting cast, I'm pretty sure no-one would be able to solve the mysteries because they don't make sense. For example:
Spoiler
[collapse]
- The romance. Several things about this irked me. The ML at the beginning was... in what world did he think it was a) acceptable and b) a good idea to tell the one he is trying to woo (i.e. MC) all the pe*verted stuff he wants to do with him? I don't understand why the author thought that was a good idea, and it still irritates me. Secondly, and more importantly, I don't like how the novel portrays the MC as "turning gay" for the ML. I don't like the trope, and it could so easily have been fixed. (Tbh, I feel like the MC probably doesn't care about gender at all, but why did the author feel the need to write that he'd never had a girlfriend?! - couldn't they just have used partner, or romantic relationship?).
Some good things:In the ghost ship one, the MC realises that the ghost ship is actually inside a god's stomach and is slowly being corroded by stomach acid. But at the same time, the inside of the boat is also the intestines? HOW DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? The author took the idea and ran with it, including every cool sounding thing they could think of without thinking about whether it made sense.
- I enjoyed the supporting cast, and especially the confusion surrounding "Sherlock" and "Moriarty" - of course you know how it's going to end, but it doesn't stop it from being hilarious. I liked the fact that we had a supporting cast who would reappear, and that it extended to the ghosts too. However bad the logic of the instances are, it's still pretty funny to read about Bloody Mary's gradual descent into depression due to the MCs logic-defying brain. I think this kind of trope it pretty standard to novels that use the MCs personality type, but the humour was at least well done.
All in all, when I was reading it I totally got caught up in the thrill watching the MC do things "his way" but now that I've read more novels in this genre, I think there are better way to do this kind of character.
