    The imagination is wild! I'm currently reading the first book. The protagonist inexplicably becomes a ghost, working at a funeral home, and is invited to participate in a dating reality show. However, the director's script for him is to be sarcastic and universally disliked. But he has a devoted fan in the underworld, leading to constant arguments between the underworld and the living world's online comments. On the surface, it's a comedy, but the content is also very tear-jerking. The second book is even more imaginative. While reading, I realized... The alien dog is actually me!
