Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.Holographic viewing technology allowed audience members to enter a movie and personally experience it for themselves. Naturally, romance movies were the most popular and well-received, while nobody was interested in horror movies.
Su Min was the first of the viewers to experience a horror movie.
Later–
Malicious Spirit: I dare not scare nor frighten my sweetheart…
Su Min: Actually, horror movies aren’t scary at all.
Audience: No, no, no, you are playing in a romance movie! (Loudly)
The audience suddenly discovered that the recent rerelease of the horror movie was much better than the original. Furthermore, to everyone’s surprise, the ghost was very sweet…

I mean that although MC helped in search of clues, he had less paranormal activities. Only the staircase and the seventh floor. Less interaction with ghosts or monsters.
1st Arc:- University Thriller
2nd Arc:- Desperate Island
3rd Arc:- Death Show
4th Arc:- Last Meal
5th Arc:- In the Prison
6th Arc:- Ghost Ship
7th Arc:- In My Surname
While, obviously, set in a technologically highly developed future, nothing else seems to be really different, apart from the convenient social change that gay relationships are quite common so there's zero discrimination.
We learn nothing else about the world they live in, the few things that are mentioned seem to be identical to our time. Considering that they developed such a complicated technology, that makes their world seem very inconsistent, I would even say empty; the author wasted the futuristic setting, I for one am very dissatisfied with it.
If we look at the technical side of the helmets that lets you insert your mind into the films, nothing is explained, you don't know how it works, it just does.
While some readers will see this as a negative point, I personally don't, the main character doesn't know how it works, and he's the one we follow around, so it makes sense not to explain it - we have to keep in mind that this isn't hard-sci-fi - I prefer no details over senseless ones. The films
Arc one still makes more or less sense, every one after that has gaping plot-holes, later ones go so far as to give our MC plot armour.
One aspect could be used to justify the messy stories – even the MC sees that there are a lot of inconsistencies/missing details.
For me it looks like the author was too focused on writing interesting horror stories that they paid no attention to logic, the only way out of that was, to let the MC be confused by it as well.
That's lazy writing to the extreme. Characters
Well, MC doesn't have much personality, we can attribute this to his constant starring in films, there are very little interactions between him and other real people, neither do we really see him doing anything else but watching films or reading reviews.
He's limited to one characteristic – being intelligent. There's nothing else.
The ML is even worse, we know nothing about him as a person, only that he's really into MC.
Side characters play little to no role, naturally, they have even less personality.
What the novel really lacks are meaningful, detailed emotional expressions, it goes for “tell, don't show” instead of “show, don't tell”, and while that might be okay for inexperienced writers who are still struggling with how to show emotions through body language and thought processes, this shouldn't be the case for a publishing author, it makes the characters seem very artificial. Romance
There's not really any romance, it's just ML hitting on MC, and MC occasionally going along with the mood. Mutual feelings can be seen during the last arc, which is quite questionable, he has no idea who ML even is and all their interactions were limited to shameless advances from the other party. The ending
I was really disappointed. Why did the author choose the most cliché route of having ML being a human experiment, which turned him into a living soul, coincidentally linked to the film technology the whole story is based on?
There are so many ways to do it better, less ridicules, more down-to-earth and believable.
ML could have been in an accident as a child, fell into a coma, met MC, woke up after MC could no longer see him, decided to become someone who's powerful enough to find MC and repay his kindness, working his way up to be the CEO of the most advanced technological research and manufacturing firm, ultimately using the technology his company developed to meet MC in the films because he hoped that way he might remember him. For how he knew that MC will be watching these films? He's probably shadowing him for years, just like the author mentioned as well, it would have been consistent with the rest of the story.
The way the author did it only highlighted the lack of explanation for how the helmets actually work and, personally, I think it's very unlikely that someone who has gone through human experimentation would want to become the big boss of the very same project that ruined his childhood. He doesn't seem to be psychologically affected by it at all, another aspect that makes it even less believable and more shallow.
- It's pretty light-hearted and easy to understand, you can read it when your brain works at 1% capacity, like after a long day at work or a stressful holiday.
- Horror tropes, including the tr*shiest tr*sh. If you are a fan, you will spot a lot of classics, it's fun to see it in such a way.
- No drama, everything is fluffy and harmonious, nothing really bad happens, no annoying misunderstandings or love rivals.
- There is no s*x, if you are more into romance than into smut, then this might be what you are looking for.
- Gore, lots of gruesome deaths, relatively detailed. Perfect for those who are a fan of gory horror.
Note:As always, I only look over the main story, extras are optional content the reader shouldn't be forced to know in order to understand the novel, therefore they play no part in my reviews.
I will give you spoiler about MC and ML past. Let me give you a hint : ML isn't a ghost.
ML' name is Chen Su, he's Su Min childhood friend. He's a psychiatric. So, when Su Min was younger, he can see ghost, the ghost is Chen Su, but Chen Su isn't a ghost, he's a living soul, meaning he's not dead, just his soul wandering away, his body still alive. Chen Su is an experimental's material for holographic cinema. One day he's rebelled and destroyed the lab then got the hang of the VR cinema, that's why he can find Su Min easily wherever is it. When Su Min was a child his parent got scared by the fact that Su Min got a friend with ghost, they thought Chen Su is an evil that sucking SM's Yin energy so Su Min became thinner and low spirited. The parent is going to the shaman, and shaman said just hypnotized Su Min to cover his memories so SM can't remember Chen Su anymore and close his ghost's eyes (i guess).
