Yu Zhengdu joined a small start-up company that claimed to offer “life management services”……as a programmer.

On his first day in office, he received a phone call from a stranger: “Hello, I received a text message from your company that informed me of my reincarnation tomorrow……”

Yu Zhengdu: “……??”

Shang Que, the beautiful little boss, said, “New employee, welcome to the Hell organisation in the human world. A thousand years ago, I was known to the human world as the Ghost King of Luofeng Mountain.”

Yu Zhengdu: “……??” From then on, he was incredibly distressed about the development of Hell.

4/5 for the plot and a resounding 5/5 for the entertainment value. I love this story! It's absolutely hilarious and includes a fascinating take on how the Chinese mythological underworld will be like today.

plot: no plotholes that I can think of, well-paced, interesting, easy to follow, funny but not senseless, has some mystery, not at all a heavy read

characters: well-rounded, likable, even background characters reappear nearing the end or even in the extras and aren’t forgotten, the MC & ML are a perfect match

romance: so sweet! I saw a review say the op wished there was more romance but I think the romance here was actually more than enough. It isn’t the type that has the MC & ML in their own world.... more>> It isn’t the type where romance is the only thing relevant in the world. Once they get together, it doesn’t become boring (and I usually stop reading and struggle to finish so many novels because things becomes so stale after the couple get together). Here, the MC and ML are always learning something new about each other or always have new antics. If I had to give an example, this is almost mxtx style of writing romance but without the pining over several lifetimes—the main pair are together and solve problems and mysteries together and their feelings develop every time so we always get a bit of fluff but not so much that we’d be bloated with pre-couple dog food. ML is silly but powerful and MC isn’t necessarily powerful but he is equals with the MC and also so indulgent to his silly husband boyfriend.

this was overall such a satisfying read. I was pleasantly surprised. I read this once but I couldn’t continue because I wasn’t immediately hooked. I just tried reading this again because, who knows, this might be another one of those novels that don’t interest me at first but suddenly becomes something I like. Look! That’s exactly what it is now.

i enjoyed reading about the MC and ml’s love so much lmao I loved how they started most of all because I love that kind of dynamic in a pairing

Spoiler

A who likes B and thinks B likes them goes ahead and encourages B to pursue them, but in a really silly and cute manner and not in arrogant and overbearing way. I think I liked this especially because ml’s character suits this troupe which would require A to be a fool & not a prick

[collapse]

i loved the relationships with other characters too. I loved the luofeng workers. I also love how this author didn’t write anything dog blood but the faceslapping scenes were excellent and so amusing lmao

if you aren’t immediately into this novel on the first few chapters, I promise you, keep reading and you won’t be disappointed. The plot immediately picks up after the brief arc of MC incorporating into his new and very special workplace. Not to mention his relationship with the ML during this time is especially cute. Also, I was so surprised and fell in love with this one thing

Spoiler

they have a child! I’m so weak for this troupe. They spoil the child so much. Not to mention the child is so cute! I want to buy buy buy for the child too!!!

Fun, adorable, and hilarious.

Though... it could use a bit more romance between MC and ML? All their interactions are very, very cute but I still find myself wanting for more </3

4.1

Wholesome and humorous story with a petty ghost king ML and a God Programmer MC. The novel uses creative mix of the mythical and the technical to present Luofeng--the modernized Hell, in charge of the six reincarnation paths. The entire story is structured around Luofeng, with ML as its big boss and MC as its first human employee (there will be many more human employees.) Theres also a lot of cute human and nonhuman side characters. I goddamn love how ghosts and religious masters end up buying in to the... more>> ideals of socialism and technological advancements. Like I've always strangely loved modernized religious/mythological elements and this novel played on that contrast so well. The comedic moments are On Point, and the mythological references are strangely educational. I also really enjoyed how the MC and ML got together. I guess it counts as slow burn but theres no big drama or angsty moments. Its more funny than anything else tbh.

My main complaint is that the story overused the face-slapping trope. Plenty of side characters are deliberately set up to be one dimensional villains whose only purpose is to be shut down by the main characters. Although such face slapping is satisfying, it's a little cringy if overdone. <<less

I LOOOOVVVEEEE THIS NOVEL

At first I thought their relationship dynamic would be boring, but it's not~ I really feel how they slowly gain chemistry, at the beginning YZD couldn't understand SQ's eye signals to YZD could even play along with dramatization things in SQ's mind. Like the slice of life genre with a supernatural theme

Was going to say the exact same as HoloSol. I can’t understand why the MC and ML would like each other, there is no “leading into” anything. I can’t relate to or connect with them at all. Then the story is all about face slapping, pretty boring and even gross. I’ve read way too many Chinese novels and this one is just not good.

4.5/5. I'd say this is a good one, dk if it's a masterpiece standard, but I do love all the characters. The comedy is the face palm type of comedy, which I don't mind. Nothing bad to say about the MC or ml, though, if I were to complain about NTNH, it'd be the world building/explanations for some things in the novel, it doesn't really make much sense/nor do they link (a little bit plot holeish) but then again, it's a fantasy supernatural novel so, lol. The big boss fight... more>> was less than what I expected, but I liked how things turn out. The extras were nice, slice of life kinda chapters to wrap up the novel... though kinda wishing

Spoiler

that MC and ML would come clean to mc's parents about his... I guess eternal life now? I mean, their son would look the same for the next few years of the rest of their lives... Hahaha, interested to see their reaction...

The ending was not quite what I was expecting but it was still really well done with how all the main points of focus where resolved. Overall I found it very enjoyable read with well developed characters, interesting world building and a consistent tone.

I love this novel, this novel is light and funny. Those two words are perfectly describing this novel.

It doesn't contain angst. It does have some face slapping moments. Side characters are well written and supporting. I pretty much enjoying side characters interaction as well.

How we see Hell described by socialism / capitalist industry are entertaining. Well, it doesn't fit logic - of course, but it is nice. You don't need to overthinking anything. I cracked and laughed most of the time.

Some discoveries are brilliant - I can say. How their... more>> work integrated to daily human life, creating opportunities to harvest money are good.

Spoiler

I also like Peppa - as character. I really like her from a fetus, goose and a daughter. Her fetus story is tragic and I'm sad. Her interaction and fetal education are superb.

[collapse]

Author did a good job potrayed the ML (Demon King) - arrogant, c*cky, but childish at same time. It's very fresh character - especially for gaming and fetal education thingy. It is hilarious!

MC as a tech sevvy, is outstanding - and more towards business development opportunity.

Some weaknesses that I found are,

  • Less romantic interaction. I don't want too much or too absurd lovey dovey interaction, but it's really a miss. I sometimes wonder whether I read BL or business novel. I really want their romantic interaction to be MORE
  • Too much information (filler). It probably the way author tries to build background and environment - but I just skip most of the paragraph. Just need to read second and last sentences to get main idea of the background the author wants to potray
  • Repeating. Some paragraph are repeated in order to re explain. But it's not much.
In my conclusion, you should read this novel. It's not long but worth it. And of course, it's HE. Just read it :) <<less

One of the few novels that could make me laugh out loud XD usually I just grin but this one is gold.

I like how MC is not entirely powerless and could solve problems by himself.

My only dissatisfaction is there isn't any sexy time at all _ (;3/ it is so river-crabbed that I almost cannot recognise any attempts to be sexy _ (;3/

This is my first review on Novel Updates, but probably close to my 100th C-Novel read. A lot of which I have read more than one time.

I definitely have my favorites, but have never felt the need to add a review in the past, mostly becuase they seemed to get enough attention without me doing anything. However while reading this story I couldn't stop the thought that for once, I was going to have to leave a review. If only because...

Shang Que is probably one of the cutest ML I... more>> have encountered in a BL, or in most stories really! The best part about it is, it's not that cringe worthy fluffy cute that you encounter so often. There is no urge to reach out and ruffle his hair or pat his head. His cute is completely and adorably exasperating. All you can really do is shake your head and smile at his antics.

Spoiler

Namely his constant scamming for red envelopes so he can buy more in game products to boost his horrible gaming level.

[collapse]

I enjoyed that it wasn't just a fluffy story of ghosts and romance, the author still managed to work in some drama and left you feeling a tad bit anxious at times for the next chapter. I also appreciate that while the story didn't completely ignore the resistance same s*x couples face, it didn't rake you over the coals to deal with it either.

Spoiler

Once our MC and ML decided there was no one else for them they embraced their relationship and each other tightly refusing to slow down or look back!

[collapse]

I'm sure you have read the other reviews as well so I won't go into a long drawn out explanation of the story, plot and characters. This story might not be for everyone, but if you are looking for a fresh take on the afterlife, a plot line that doesn't take itself too seriously, mixed with some familiar ghost stories, and a very sweet and decisive love story, I think you should give this a try! Did I mention?

Shang Que is so freaking cute! :) Happy Reading!

Spoiler

Side Note: There is one chapter of pretty intense NSFW in this story, take it as a good or a bad thing, just sharing.
