——

A pop-up event for some ‘modern fantasy’ media I loved so much that I even took a precious day off work to attend.

On that day, I ended up transmigrating as a character in that very fantasy world.

As none other than a newly hired employee at a famous large corporation!

A dream job with great benefits, an excellent salary, and even kind and competent bosses.

I’m using the information I know about the world to rise through the ranks at lightning speed!

Am I happy, you ask?

Please, just let me go home. I’m begging you.

※ Note : The genre is horror.

This is so good

100% a great read if you like characters that act one way on the outside but are internally facing a dilemma (player hides his past, I was mistaken as a monstrous genius actor, etc)

but I also have low standards..

anyways it's a great fic I really love the horror parts and how MC deals with everything !!!

I love it. Especially braun, he was such a cute tiny bear. In this story it talks about the MC and his fear of ghosts and the his contradiction of the fact that he loves reading ghost stories. He dies and goes into a ghost story company where he tries to make points to go home. Misunderstandings about the MC personality is great!

I was really afraid that this story would become monotonous at first, since the beginning of the chapters seem to be forming a pattern. Not to mention I wasn't the biggest fan of creepypastas either, just knew a little bit about them. The biggest reason I started reading this story was because it was written by the same author as 'Debut or Die' and I love their writing style and world building. Their characters are always well thought out and the plot is just as engaging.

Suffice to say I had... more>> high expectations, and boy were they met! It was an absolutely thrilling experience reading this story. As I expected the author really has a way to make all their characters and the plot extremely engaging. While reading the story there were so many fun moments, I even grew to start actively becoming a fan of creepypastas all thanks to this novel. The story always manages to keep me on edge and there is never a dull moment, though sometimes I do start worrying about my poor heart XD. Sometimes I feel like I am getting contamination while reading the story, that's how deeply it pulls me in. Maybe this story itself is a darkness and we readers are unknowingly getting pulled into it hahahha

The main character somehow seems like a perfect blend of Kim Dokja from ORV and Shen Yuan from SVSS. A self sacrificial fool who is hell bent of saving every single person and someone who seems calm on the outside but always freaking out on the inside lmao. Also loved how both of the author's main characters are cowards, Moondae gets scared and covers his face while watching horror movies while Kim Soleum is barely holding himself from fainting.

The side characters are the best part of the story, love how we have all the types for that meme temple 'in good there is evil' ' 'in evil there is good' 'then there is our angel' and 'then there is this bastard; pure evil' (I can already think of one bastard that immediately comes to mind lol). Have fun categorizing each of the characters, you'll love it. They are all something else XD. I swear I can say with confidence that 백덕수-nim is my most favourite author ever T-T I love their stories so much <3 <3 <3

And I forgot to mention the best part, the translations! Translator-nim has genuinely put so much effort to make their translations engaging and match the vibe of the novel, not to mention how good they are, thank you so soooo much we love you <3 <<less

This novel is sooooo good. I love the scp/creepy pasta theme, it's amazing horror with enough graphic descriptions that makes the suspense intense but also the fact that nobody has died yet (lotm ptsd). I really appreciate the platonic relationships between Soleum and people around him. I'm struggling to say more because then I would have to write a 10K paragraph just praising this novel.

The only negatives I can think of so far are that the author doesn't mention small basic details like eating, flavors, taking out tr*sh etc etc.... more>> This sounds s*upid but I think you know what I mean. Those details ofc. don't need to be discribed each time but the novel in my opinion barely mentions them at all. It would make the story a bit more realistic (?)... I think but I digress.

I also want to thank the translator Salt Goblin for their fast and free translation! I really appreciate it. <<less

Very good. A lot of the dynamics are fun and rarely does the story drag on. It only has done so once & that is when the silly horror story logic really had s*upid rules to it. I have read 1 other story like this & I will say the premise of these sorta stories really benefits. If I could put my finger on it. I would say the constant change of the world building rules keeps the story fresh in that way. If you add in good characters and... more>> neat arcs you can easily make a wonderful monster of the week type novel. The horror setting and the wishy washy logic of scp things also benefits for inherent knowledge & keeping the story smooth. I think some QT novels even dip into the horror honey pot every now & then. Very good also has a really well defined goal which also may mean a really well defined ending which is wonderful for these types of novels. Some of the drag is looking to the horizon & seeing nothing. <<less
