One urban legend after another became reality, and one dead person after another had their traces erased. When the supernatural descends, death is the end. This is really good, everyone! I read the latest chapter in one go for several days in a row. It's a bit slow-paced; the first arc took a long time to write, but the pacing gets faster later on. The interactions between the male lead and his brothers feel so real and full of life, haha. As for the pairings, there's a female character who's quite ambiguous with the protagonist in the early stages, and it's really cute (spoiler warning!), But later she mostly appears in the male lead's memories. Judging from the author's reply to a reader's comment, it seems there's no romantic pairing. Important: The male lead has a ghost sister who transforms into a white-haired, long-haired woman with a softer appearance. (Spoiler alert!) The death rate in this arc is really high, everyone be careful! My eyes almost peed while reading it!
