There's only one review for this novel so I thought I'd add one.

There are only 20 chapters as of now. The translation is very good (thank you translator!).

Not really spoilers but I'm marking them as such for people who like to go into a story blind.

... more>>
Spoiler

The MC is kind of weak, a coward by his own admission. He's still likeable. Also, I don't think he can do anything else under the circumstances.

He has always been unlucky. For eg. Finding c*ckroaches in his food when other people don't. Unlucky incidents are a regular occurrence for him. The tone is not serious and his misfortunes are depicted in a comedic manner.

He enjoyed beating up a boss (Baal) in a game but he finds him in his house one day. Baal is there because Lucifer put a black Pearl in the MC's body which Baal wants. Baal wants MC to quickly fall in love with someone so that he can get it back (or something) which leads to uncomfortable situations for the MC as Baal pushes him onto people. For eg. Baal tells him to fall in love with his cousin quickly as he is not affected by human morals or in*est. He's a creature from hell so *shrugs*. Fortunately, he abandoned the idea soon.

He forces MC to do things he doesn't want to (pressuring him to fall in love with strangers) and creates shitty situations for him. He is invisible to other people and can push or make MCs body do things. Like push off people down the stairs (which MC doesn't want to). So it's torture for MC...? It's all depicted in a humourous manner so not really.

The ML is malicious, being a creature of hell and all that (right now I think he's a fallen angel).

Pros (I guess)

    • The good thing is that there is no instalove from either side.
    • The MC is not a jade beauty with watery eyes (lol) and a pitiful appearance that everyone fawns over. He is pitiful though.
    • The ML has some personality even if it's just doing shitty things to people. Like burning their hair if he doesn't like the colour. Some ml's have just one personality trait- being possessive. So it's better than that. I think he will probably become a possessive tsundere later on. As of now he's just pushing MC on different people.
    • No rebirth, transmigration, etc. Modern world with a supernatural twist. I like it when people live with their own identity. (Transmigration novels feel like fantasies of escaping one's own reality but more on that another time).
[collapse]

All in all, its an alright novel and I'm finding it somewhat refreshing as it's different from the last few novels I've read. <<less

So far, absolutely hate the ml. He’s the most selfish, arrogant, ignorant pos I’ve ever seen. I hope the MC blackens. I thoroughly wish the MC would grow a pair and teach that bit*h ML a lesson. The spoilt prick needs to get his ass beat.

aside from that, the translation is amazing.

The fact that there's a sequel of sorts to Spirit Hotel is an automatic five stars. While I don't think it's at the same level, I am only a third of the way in. It's got the author's unique humor and wackiness, and I am enjoying it. Many thanks to the translator!

I recommend this. Please disregard the comment hating ml, the op probably got a pit in their brain. It's comedic act, this novel isn't supposed to be serious like spirit hotel. So far so good

At first when reading this I was like dont get your hopes up, its a decent read from what the other reviews said. One also said how its less than spirit hotel so I was putting it aside, but in my opinion (after finally reading it) its on the same level as spirit hotel, or it could be I dont remember much of spirit hotel as I read it a while back. But I like it very much. I live the MC, I thought his cowardly personality would be very... more>> annoying but it wasnt. Anyways despite what the other reviews might say, give it a try, you might like it. <<less

I was definitely exicited for new chapters every week despite slight disappointment. Thank you translator and editor for all your hard work!

This couple would have been great, but it really felt like there was some distance that could have been closed. It feels like Baal knows WXM a lot, but WXM doesn't know enough about Baal. Baal never really gets character development, which bothers me a lot. He stays an irritated and spoiled ass for the entirety of this novel. The only difference is that he likes WXM enough not... more>> to be that way to him and thats the apex of the romance aspect of this novel. The comedy was horrendous and off-putting at times. I never really could laugh. Most events in the beginning gave me major cringe. Baal never really gets punished for the way he treats WXM.

I knew Baal was not going to get what he deserved after around 60 chapters, but I stuck around to see if he would be a better character. He was not. Its true he
Spoiler

helped WXM because immortal so they could stay together forever, but there was a lot to be desired.

Now,
Spoiler

I really hated how WXM was so tolerant towards the way his family treated him. I sort of expected him to kind of act like Baal around the end after spending so much time together. It would have been great

[collapse]
I was also disappointed how WXM has less and less lines and it is all about Baal or that f**king tiger. One last major thing was everytime the author wrote Shi Feixia. I do not lile this character, which is why I will not read the prequel to this story. I hate their humor, the constant insult to other characters. But I mostly hate how he was half a f*cking chapter worth of dialogue and actions. It was annoying and infuriating.

So all in all, 2 stars. 1 for Baal as a ml, and 1 for unlucky protagonist genre. <<less
