There’s a Ghost Inside Me

Here's a brief review: Rating: 4 stars (out of 5). I've read over 600 chapters. Let's start with the good points, which are self-evident: This book is quite enjoyable on Qimao. The plot development is excellent, and the writing is decent. It subtly introduces the identities of the young chief and Beiming Gui in just a few sentences without being overly offensive, resulting in a logical and…

Overall, it's alright, but the plot feels a bit dragged out, and it's hard to keep up with the book. Every time Jiang Xiao appears, there's a seven or eight chapters of setup, and his teammates are already half-dead. Also, it feels like there's an excessive emphasis on Jiang Xiao's values, with many descriptions of him not caring about others.

I don't recommend reading this; it's increasingly depressing and unsuitable for today's high-pressure society. With over 800 chapters, the protagonist is constantly forced to grow passively and take damage passively. He only appears when his side suffers heavy casualties. The protagonist is mentally ill, selfish yet selfless, loyal yet cold-hearted.

The character gradually develops towards being mentally ill, but he still has his own bottom line as a human being, and he is able to control his desires and protect the people he loves most. The plot gradually surprised me, offering a fresh take on familiar themes. Of course, it also has some unavoidable flaws. The pacing was too fast, especially the protagonist's twisted development.

The earlier descriptions of the relationship between the protagonist and the Nightmare Ghost were too brief. It's understandable that the Nightmare Ghost likes the protagonist and helps him, but the protagonist doesn't seem to like her much, repeatedly risking his life to save her, and even helping the Underworld, showing no regard for ordinary lives. Having read this far, I still have no good feelings towards the Underworld or the Nightmare Ghost.

Having read over 600 chapters, many people say it's forced sentimentality. But wasn't there a lot of foreshadowing in the beginning? Jiang Xiao's transformation from indifference to feelings for Ji Wange, and then to reluctance to leave the Underworld—there was a lot of foreshadowing there. Isn't it good for the character to grow? What's the point of watching someone whose character remains unchanged from the beginning?

The writing is mediocre. Middle school level. The plot is formulaic: a fat guy, missing parents, a pretty younger sister, and then a cheat code. Boring. I'm leaving.

It's a really good ghost story, with all sorts of monsters and other abilities, and it has a mysterious revival feel to it.

The protagonist is of poor character and has distorted values.

Absolutely fantastic, I couldn't stop watching!
