    Reader note

    If you're currently experiencing a reading slump, you could try "During the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, I Inherited a Funeral Shop." The opening is quite captivating; the protagonist inexplicably takes over a "funeral shop," initially thinking it's just about selling paper money and performing funeral rites. However, the more jobs he takes on, the more suspicious it becomes—this shop deals specifically with "the afterlife." What's most interesting is that this book isn't a typical "leveling up" story; it emphasizes rules and the profession. Every job feels like walking a tightrope; many seemingly insignificant actions have hidden intricacies, and breaking the rules can lead to disaster. The overall atmosphere is also top-notch, not relying on sudden frights, but rather a chilling effect that seeps in gradually through the details, becoming increasingly unsettling as you read on. If you enjoy urban supernatural or folklore stories with a realistic feel, this book is truly addictive. However, I suggest not reading it alone at night. It's very profound and also quite terrifying.
