I really like this setting! I've seen many people in the comments section who are dissatisfied with the protagonist's somewhat naive (?) State of unintentionally becoming someone else's powerful backer, but I'm the opposite; I love this kind of thing. Simple, invincible stories where everyone is subservient and everyone who opposes them dies are boring. I prefer Li Jiong's current state of chaos, neutrality, and amnesia, with his own unique logical system. Hehe, I like it.
It's great, I really like it. I hope the main character will always have such a high status in the eyes of others, whether ghosts or humans.
I absolutely love this style! It's exhilarating without being mindless, and the main storyline with its side quests is fantastic! The protagonist might seem a little frustrated in the early stages due to their lack of power, but I actually think it's fine. After all, if they were fully powered from the start, the story would be quite boring. This is just right!
I finished reading it in no time. It seems to be another book that hasn't been written for very long, but it's quite well written. The perspective of the ghost protagonist who hasn't regained his memories is very interesting. I'm very curious about his identity. He doesn't know who he is, but all his actions are separate from ghosts and humans, like a third party. I look forward to the development. Keep up the good work, author!
The writing style really appeals to me 😍 The protagonist isn't an invincible, mindless, and overpowered character; he has his own thoughts, and a three-dimensional Li Jiong has already formed in my mind. The interactions with the players (one-sided?) Are vividly described without being awkward. I really enjoy watching the protagonist participate in the game 🥰
It's definitely worth watching; it's very original. It's strange that I found so many five-star reviews, but I don't know why the rating is so low. I've been looking at mostly five-star to four-star reviews.
The male protagonist is not human, there is no romantic pairing, it's a medium-length novel containing episodic small-scale stories, featuring a mix of Eastern and Western supernatural beings, dark fairy tales, and parallel storylines of the present and other scenarios. It also includes elements of an abnormal sub-bureau, mental pollution, and assimilation.
I feel there's a slight issue with the pacing, but I'm not a professional and won't comment on it. The advantages are numerous! The characters are very distinct, the setting is original and unique, it features an ensemble cast with both humans and ghosts, and I especially loved the way some characters, like the bride, spoke.
It's pretty good, but it's too over-the-top. It feels like the protagonist is a ghost king, but he keeps getting offended by ghosts. It would be better if he could just easily defeat a few powerful ghosts head-on.
It's a good watch with an open ending. I really like Kobayashi; he's kind but not a saint, and despite being unloved by his parents, he doesn't complain or show any darkness. He's vibrant and full of life, a bright light in this strange world. He truly lives life to the fullest, and every time I see him, I'm amused by his uplifting vitality. He's such a wonderful and lovable person 🤭.
