My Death God Roommate

Description

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

Sang Yu is a girl with yin-yang eyes. After a car accident at age eight, she began to see things that normal people could not – she would often speak to empty air, a faint smile on her face. This left an odd impression on others, and by the time she discovered her abnormality, she no longer had any friends.

By day, Mu Rong is the boss of a paper offerings shop, servicing the living to earn some cash and sustain her physical body.

By night, she is a death god representative, serving the Nether Palace, collecting yin merit in order to save her mother.

Because she had seen through life, death, and the cycle of reincarnation, Mu Rong has an indifferent nature, no friends, and does not participate in society.

One time, a difficult ghost escaped and attempted to destroy her corporeal body while Mu Rong’s spirit had left it vacant.

Mu Rong decided to find a roommate and waive their rent to have someone help look after her corporeal body.

So, Sang Yu moved in…

Sang Yu: I watch my roommate’s soul leave her body every night, and I have to pretend I see nothing, what to do, I’m waiting online, it’s urgent!

bows hello! Frosty (translator) here!~

First of all, sorry it was quite a long journey of Translating this, huh? I really am sorry for taking so many hiatus TvT

And here's a better summary for this novel from Author's page-->

... more>> 《From the southwest to the northeast, across the longest diagonal of the map, a girl with yin-yang eyes becomes the roommate of a Yin emissary. What kind of story will unfold?

In Zhonghua's most mysterious organization, the Supernatural Affairs Bureau, the righteous heir of the Dao, and monks who've cultivated across lifetimes — what catastrophe awaits them?

Emotionless and loveless Soul Reaper. A girl with yin-yang eyed. A demon-slaying exorcist. A reincarnated high monk. A drifting soul. A thousand-year-old painting.

Northeastern guardian spirits. Northwestern monsters. Miao sorcerers. The legendary divine mirror, Yata-no-Kagami...

When countless people and entities — who should never have crossed paths — collide, you get:

My Death God Roommate, a black-humored, thrilling yuri novel where ghosts have feelings and humans try not to.

Filled with both laughter and tears, it's a story that captures the full spectrum of human (and non-human) life.》

So onto the review, well before that for rating as always a biased 5 star ⭐!

I will start with, It sure had it up and downs, it's not a perfect story as always no story is perfect but for me atleast it was perfect and quite close to my heart now.

What I loved about this?

1. The character growth of Mu Rong and her heart opening up to everyone. Her making companions and starting to help people compared to her emotionless and single thought driven character at the start.

2. Sang Yu, her shy character, her dynamic with Mu Rong, her background and how her character also grew being timid and scared to something else by the end.

3. I would say with my heart I had found Sang Tong annoying at the start but at the end I had come to love her character, the biggest character growth imo was her from a Demon Slaughter to something amazing (you gotta read it if you wanna find about it) though it's not like she's now completely perfect character, she still has shortcomings but that's what her humane to me.

4. Su Sifang, sighhh, I liked her character the most. I don't usually like all forgiving and justice filled character.. but I found her to be coolest. I see her as fish going upstream against the world and helping everyone, demon or human, with no prejudice. But she has her selfish motives for which she is willing to sacrifice everything. That's what made me fall in love with character.

5. And then there's Ah Miao whose past unknown, forgotten and on the verge of extinction but still happy to go cat personality. When in danger worrying about her friends before herself and ready to fight but at the same time most scared out of everyone. Her relationship of teasing Sang Yu and terrified of Sang Tong, her friendship with her Lady Mu Rong.

6. Then there are many more characters Liu Er, Xiaoyue, Wang Hao, Luo Ruyan, Yunyue, and many other side character. Everyone has their own story, in a way they are the protagonist in their own story not just some side or filler characters.

There's only one thing that I hate about this novel and that's-- It ended. I wasn't ready for it to end, like I wanted so many more chapters with Mu Rong and Sang Yu and their companions. It literally made me sad alot. So yes, this review is somewhat biased as it has become quite close to my heart and I will really like if you could atleast give it a try! Maybe you will like or maybe not. But if you do it might become your favourite too? Who knows not untill you give a try atleast. Hope you have a Happy Reading (⁠。⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠) ⁠✧

And Thank you Author for such an amazing story! (⁠^⁠∇⁠^⁠) ⁠ノ⁠♪ <<less

Main Character - Sang Yu

She is meek and kind towards ghosts even though she cannot stand grotesque scenes of the dead. Sang Yu befriended an unknown female ghost (Ah Miao) as her dormmate before arriving at the latter's hometown to help find her missing memories. Female Lead - Mu Rong

A person who lives her life strictly to the rules with the sole purpose of collecting good karma for her mother, who was sentenced to hundreds of years of suffering in hell because of mu*der and su*cide, to enter the reincarnation cycle.

Due to that incident that has occurred when she was young, she has wagered 2/7 of her basic instincts as a human being [happiness and love] to the Black and White Impermanence of the underworld, leading her to being a cold indifference person who doesn't feel any joy or romance in life.

One year in the mortal world is equivalent to 10 years in the underworld.
Spoiler

A being who is the very incarnation of death and nothingness, leaving nothing in her wake, chases after another who is the incarnation of Buddhism, bearing the destiny of saving all creatures from suffering and saving the world.

Through the journey of countless cycles of reincarnation and painful separations each lifetime, what happens if the world is doomed again in this lifetime? Supernatural incidents occurring throughout the world, resulting in tens of thousands of wronged deaths. The Heavens have always been cruel and heartless, calculating everyone's fates from birth. Who can still retain a clear-headed mind while being amidst in the large game of chess?

[collapse]

Other characters (some of them, there are too many to remember)

Spoiler

A cousin who has been missing for 6 years shows up with a thick bloody aura from slaying demons, a highly ranked member of some secret organization whose purpose is to protect their home country. She is easily angered even though she is learning Taoist arts and frequently broke her restrictions of cursing out loud (losing her spiritual powers for 3 days). Sang Tong really cares for Sang Yu, the reason for her choice of leaving home is to find a cure for her yin-yang eyes.

A monk who is on the verge of completing her trials into becoming an arhat in this lifetime, possesses a set of spiritual eyes which can see karma ties and parts of the future, was implicated into the secular world while on a journey of travelling around the world.

A ghost whose memories of her time living as a human was sealed away in her heart. A thousand-year art demon who has the ability to see a person's past and lures them into her dreamscape. A vengeful female ghost who was humilated and burnt to death. Another Taoist member who has the ability to summon ancestors down to possess his body for a fight. A person who should have been dead who has the ability to see 3 minutes into the future. A snake demon who possesses a dragon horn. A wolf demon king who has just recently obtained human form. A mysterious female who is very skilled in the cultivation of Gu worms, etc.

[collapse]

This story tells the adventures of a group of people solving supernatural cases with their unique styles and abilities, avenging the dead, obtaining enlightment, and unmasking the plot that will bring forth the curtains closing on the world. Do not worry, there are plenty of angst~ as expected of the author QJMX.

The ending left a bitter and mildly sweet taste
Spoiler

as like the cousin in the novel, as a reader, I only can 'see' that one last bit of interaction between the Sang Yu and Mu Rong after they had reincarnated again.

[collapse]

I'll give it a 3.5 for the rush ending that was confusing as hell.

This series is amazing!! I loved the authors other works and this one continues that streak. The characters are easy to sympathize with and have complex development through the story. There is a lot of twists and turns and, while surprising, the logic behind it is sound. If there is one critique it would be about how it is tagged on this site and the general summary. There is a LOT of very disturbing/graphic scenes of violence that nothing really mentions. While it is never used without reason, it is... more>> graphic. Personally, I believe that it is very well written and if you are not bothered by reading some graphic depictions of human suffering I recommend this highly! <<less

It was good, really good.

The premise is interesting, the characters are well thought out and written. Their interactions are also heart tugging and funny.
