The Young Master has returned from the Infinite Game

Before his near-death, Chi Shen entered an infinite game.

He vanquished tens of thousands of malevolent spirits, dodged covert and overt attacks from countless players, and finally emerged victorious.

Before leaving the game, he set two simple goals for himself:

1.Find a job.

2.Be a better person.

The first goal was a cinch. Matching his expertise, Chi Shen effortlessly landed a job as a horror game designer. He joyfully went to work, sneakily slacked off, casually adjusted the company’s feng shui, exorcised spirits for colleagues, and even… occasionally took on the role of proxy head for several prominent spiritual clans.

But the second goal proved challenging. The love from his adoptive parents he once longed for, the recognition from his birth parents, and even the family’s exclusive exorcism techniques – all came pouring in. The imposter, who had once led him to his demise and obstructed his return to the family, was now kneeling, sobbing uncontrollably, begging for his life.

Chi Shen glanced at his birth family’s home, the debts of blood accumulated by the prominent spiritual clan, and the lost souls in the hands of the imposter. With a smile, he retracted his hand, “Do not disturb my daily life. This is your only warning.” Within his shadow, a catastrophic spirit opened its blood-red eyes, gazing at everyone, and slowly unveiled a menacing grin.

This comic supernatural mystery novel starts with two tropes -- Switched at Birth and Infinite Horror Game. A poor young man finds out that he was switched at birth and is actually the heir to a wealthy family of exorcists in another town. Turns out, his newfound relatives have been turning malevolent ghosts loose on people and extorting them in a protection racket. The fake heir tricks Chi Shen into a ghost holding pen and leaves him there to die. Instead, he stumbles into a Death Game in another dimension,... more>> with the promise that he can return to our world if he wins. Winning takes him over a hundred years and then he gets dumped back the second he left, only with top grade supernatural weapons, a century's ghost-hunting experience, and very little remaining memory of the world he was born in. His scum relatives have no idea what they've unleashed on themselves.

Meanwhile, Chi Shen has to navigate a modern world he barely remembers and finds himself more comfortable with ghosts than people. He gets a day job developing horror games and a sideline as a police consultant/mental health therapist for ghosts. In the process of helping the undead deal with their traumas, he takes a bunch of ghosts home to live with him, including a handsome young phantom who may or may not actually be dead.

The novel unspools as a series of mysteries. There's the mysteries of the individual ghosts, the mysteries involving various magic-wielders of various degrees of virtue, the mysteries of exactly what his different scum relatives are up to, and finally the biggest mystery of all -- what actually happened to him in that Death Game?

If you like your mystery leavened with supernatural comedy, this is for you. Enjoy. <<less

Not bad but it's somewhat boring. I don't understand the main character at all. He says he wants to be normal but then spends all his time with ghosts? He says he wants to make friends with ghosts but beats them first? He says he doesn't want to hurt anyone but ignores when they torment humans? He says he feels no emotions towards his ab*sers but torments them anyway, in a long-winded and indirect way. What does our MC actually want because I still don't know. It's like there's a... more>> hole in his brain.

There's no one interesting at all, the plot is stale, and the MC is too op. I can't feel any emotions from him at all. So, I can't connect with him and I don't care about anything happening. <<less

I noticed too late that I already tried to read this some time ago.

What attracted me was the writer's notice that the ML is a ghost and will stay that way, something you rarely see.

The thing that ruins it for me is the brainless hidden identity plotline.

... more>> MC pretends to be a normal person in front of everyone, really everyone, even people that wouldn't give a damn and wouldn't put his peaceful life at risk.

It's a constant circle of people underestimating him, calling him a waste, and getting face slapped by MC's ghostly friends/some other means caused by MC.

That gets old and annoying very very quickly, mainly because there's absolutely no need for it.

He's the most powerful person around, no one can do anything to him, and he doesn't want anything to do with his family.

But he still pretends so they cause trouble for him again and again, instead of coming clean and forcing them to leave him alone.

The mental gymnastics characters do to justify why it definitely isn't the MC, even making up some mysterious person when nothing points to someone like that existing, are laughable.

Not in a comedic manner, but in a "writer didn't know how to keep it up" kind of way.

It's artificial drama that drags down a nice idea and a romance I was very much interested in but will now never see because of the forced, nonsensical hidden identity plotline. <<less

Huge fan of the ending, which tied up almost all the loose ends and was very satisfying; I also enjoyed the reasoning for the infinite flow game. Fun main character, and I think he had great (subtle and sweet) chemistry with the love interest. Super wholesome story-- I love how they treated death and passing on, and how love and grief stay behind after. I cried multiple times.

Going to give this five stars to offset the low review count. Personally, I think its cute and a worthwhile read, but a 4 might be more accurate.

A nice slice of life comedy with some action. I really like the way the author has subverted the infinite flow genre by writing about the MCs life after the Infinite Flow Game. It lends well to the comedy. Man I love these ghosts.
