QT: Another Failed Mission

Description

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

Chen Ziqing got into a car accident, became a vegetative state patient, and later became a host. Assigned to the Paranormal 120 District—a place where ghosts outnumber humans—he diligently and earnestly carried out tasks. Yet, time and again, he failed. His defining trait? An unshakable positive attitude.

666 is the overseer of the Paranormal District. Ever since he took on a host with a zero success rate, his performance metrics have been like water in a sieve—impossible to retain.

One day, the main system summoned him for a meeting.

“How’s that host of yours doing lately?”

“Performing excellently; the task failed again.”

“…”

“Failed again, huh? Did he cry?”

“All emotional indicators are stable. He’s already sworn he won’t fail the next task.”

“And if he fails again?”

“He’ll keep swearing.”

I rated this 5 stars because of the low rating and because I personally enjoyed this novel a lot. But there is definitely a lot of "thunder points" to this novel.

I read it a while ago so I'll just try to say what I remember without spoilers.

The arcs are very inconsistent in both quality and content. The very first arc is very plain and the emotional line takes a long time to happen. In other arcs it's like full on dog blood drama straight up from the beginning, like crazy... more>> dog blood, you don't even have time to take a breather.

As the arcs progress... this novel kind of takes on a "harem" vibe. But the MC only likes ML1 (same ML1 in all arcs), ML1 always has some kind of disability and his personality is paranoid, obsessive, but at the same time very pandering and spoiling of the MC (to the point of helping him put a "green hat" on his own head as in several arcs ML becomes aware that MC is on a mission, and mission involves other guys too). He subconsciously remembers previous arcs or has some sequelae so it's like he has PTSD about losing the MC but suppresses himself violently... it's very dog blood. Of course he's also excellent, gorgeous, handsome, etc etc whatever is usually apply to ML in danmei. However MC is not always handsome (sometimes is, sometimes not), which I quite like.

However I can pretty much say same thing about ML1 about ML2-4, they are all "excellent" (quotation marks lol, coz most is also crazy or becomes crazy, I just mean they're rich/handsome/whatever) and all psycho obsessed with MC. Their presence in many (not all) arcs is very strong, some also become self-aware about the world being "fake" and they have a lot of scenes, to the point where it seems like it's a harem novel with the only exception being that MC does not reciprocate their feelings. MC only has physical relationship with ML1, but occasionally has ambiguous interactions with the others (coz of mission requirement). There is only one world which is legit harem, that's because ML1 consciousness split so they are all him.

So this novel will suit those who like dog blood drama. There's actually not too much angst or knives (by my standards, as I love those 2 things) but just a lot of drama. So shura field, obsessive love, crazy, yandere characters. The author is great at this and performs in this aspect.

But some of the plot lines are very inconsistent and often end abruptly. Theres a supernatural element to some of the stories that feels extremely forced and tacked on. I'm not sure if the author is very good at telling mysteries or ghost stories, but in some arcs there's a lot of time dedicated to this, which comes out not amounting to much in the end.

In the end, if you've read this authors other novels and enjoyed it, you are likely to enjoy this one too. If not, I'd recommend reading "I have a secret" first; I would say that one is the most consistent and well-written of her novels - although some similar problems here exist there too (bonus the MC/ML of that story makes a teeny tiny cameo here and the MC/ML of "I'm almost dead" features in the extras). But if you're reading that novel and thinking wow it's not dramatic enough, I wish there was more shura field and dog blood and jealousy and obsession.... then this is your book! Hahah.

It's Happy Ending overall. But some/most (not all) of the arcs have tragic endings. Also some arcs are unnecessarily long I think. If you're reading one arc and thinking hmm, I'm not vibing with the plot of this one, I suggest just skip to the end of that arc then go to the next one. The next one may be great lol! <<less
