If you've seen typical horror movie, the protagonist is suddenly thrown to horror situation (either by accident, nosiness, or s*upidity), then getting scared, being chased around, and somehow survived, then yes, this novel is like that.

I expected more of MC, because he's a "prophet". As someone who knew the future, especially someone who believed to be reborn to a horror movie, MC was without preparation at all when facing the movie scene. Sure, he believed he is merely an extra and won't join in the fun, but it's really frustrating to read in the early part where all he could do is run away in fear. He did not train his body nor did he prepare weapon, defense equipment, or anything at all. Author introduced MC as that typical unathletic nerd character, who sometimes got bullied. Made me wonder why author made him to be reincarnated, rather than just having "prophetic" power.

Maybe I've gotten too used to reading reincarnation novel where the protagonist became much better (almost OP) in their second life.

First arc (the movie scene) ended around chapter 55.

The next few arcs are small cases, in which MC traveled around as truck driver and ML chased after him. Author made it interesting that MC faced the horror situation first like an average person, then how ML faced the situation. Personally I would love to have the ML as the protagonist rather than MC. Cause when ML and the serial killers meet, you will wonder who's the real serial killer (but he's still a law-abiding citizen, if no one harms him then he won't harm anyone).

It's been 50 chapters and they didn't meet yet.

One of the small arc when MC travelled around alone. He rested on a motel, then rented some movies from a Video Rental Store. Sure, his hobby is to watch horror movies in his previous life, but after what he experienced (real life horror movie) and his strong desire to avoid supernatural stuff... WHY WOULD YOU STILL WATCH HORROR???

Of course, as a protagonist of horror novel, dear author granted his wish for thrill. Somehow there's an extra video called "Real Situation", which MC happily watch thinking it was a bonus. After realizing that the scene of the movie was his hotel room, he did not immediately stop watching--instead his curiosity increased.

... Yeah, well, it's the usual self-inflicted tragedy.

Arc 1 - Friday the 13th/Creature from Black Lake (Lagoon)

Arc 2 - Husk/Into the Tall Grass

Arc 3 - A typical crossroad plot.

Arc 4 - 1408/The Ring

Arc 5 - The Hitchhiker

Arc 6 - The Wizard of Oz/The invisible man

... (I'll update as I catch up)

Man is h**ny 24/7 and ready to jump into Seojun's pants. Patient and innocent my ass. ML is very possessive and since every arc has an intermission of his POV, you'd quickly realise this dude is definitely not normal.

so I get that the first arc really took a lot out of him, but honestly, the way that he's not as suspicious or paranoid of the other situations he gets himself into frustrates the crap out of me. Like, he doesn't even seem to think twice about some things, even though it's quite clear or definitely something he should've thought twice about uuugh

the reunion between Johan and Seojun is taking! How on earth have they been separated longer than they've been together??? Like come on, I think it's about time for them to reunite and start going through these situations together and also get together fr. I think the biggest reason why I feel frustrated is because Johan's been chasing Seojun this whole time, so we've been seeing a close chase for so many chapters and not once have there been any hints or contact between the two. I think that's also the frustrating part, that it doesn't seem quite clear what happened between the two before Seojun just left and his thought process and whatnot. Bet that he still doesn't know how to react or answer Johan's confession because he didn't think on it much -- which valid, he's been in a lot of life or death situations, but idk I just think we should have some more internal development regarding the romance lol

56.

the romance between Johan (ML) and Seojun (MC).

Seojun encounters a horrifying event-> it stimulate his trauma from what he previously experienced->He somehow manages to escape/resolve the situation by the skin of his teeth->goes on with his road trip

Johan chases after Seojun->Encounters the follow up of Seojun's previous horror accident-> becomes the horror to the horrors->goes on with trying to catch up with Seojun.

the MC was actually reborn as a baby and lived his whole life in the horror universe before the actual events happen

Seojun seems interested, but also kind of like he doesn't realize he's interested. That is, he remarks about how handsome ML is, keeps mentioning things like "but of course their current backdrop wasn't a fun dating spot" and things like that.

And I particularly like how the future vision isn't his most active power/ only power. Turns out he can see the past of people and objects he touches, which is obviously a more useful ability for uncovering information that he can actually use when he wants. The future visions? From where I'm reading now, it doesn't seem like a power that he can use when he wants just yet, which makes it feel more special and important. Like it might happen when there's a large looming threat that will endanger him - similar to events for the story's first arc.

where he was just reborn and didn't realize due to his parents being overprotective (for a valid reason) and not letting him access the internet for years.

incredibly open to torture and mu*der if it's for the love of his life, Seojun

and realized Seojun wears gloves because he doesn't see as much if he doesn't touch people or objects very often
