Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Hello, everyone! My name is Shen Jianguo. I am a night school instructor teaching ideological development and Marxist philosophy, occasionally analyzing recent policies and measures for my students.

All my classes are held in the middle of the night; I’ve never seen my coworkers or students during the day. The training institute’s classrooms are all in abandoned schools, hospitals, or residences. The license plate number of the bus that picks me up is 444; it always arrives at my house at precisely midnight and disappears at five in the morning.

What? You’re saying I’ve met a ghost? Impossible! As a staunch scientific materialist, I absolutely don’t believe there’s any such thing as ghosts!

I’ve only had one problem recently: couldn’t the training institute hold its classes a little earlier? Wouldn’t around 8 PM do? I fear neither heaven nor hell, but I do fear going bald.

This story is cute, extremely well-translated, and HILARIOUS. Intense patriotism and nonsensically OP main characters are usually things that annoy me, but Teacher Shen is such a well-meaning dumbass of a character that it was barely irritating at all. It starts kind of boring but picks up the pace quickly after the exposition dump in the first chapter, so stick with it! I was almost crying laughing at both elevator scenes.

The romance elements are pretty cute, if minimal, and the interactions between Teacher Shen and the students are absolute gold.... more>> They get surprisingly heartfelt in a few places, as well.

All in all, highly recommended :) <<less

I just want to say that I was hoping this novel would be a bit longer because I don't wanna stop reading it wuwu

This is absolutely one of the funniest and saddest novel I've read in my lockdown life. I pity the ghosts while also laughing because, well, they're so funny and adorable!

Thanking the Author, translator/s, editor/s, and publisher/s for their cooperation in this novel.

This was pretty good for a short read. Had it's comedic moments, a little bit of romance, and interesting ghosts.

I only had some minor complaints. The first being the story was too short for what was being set up, but I don't think I wanted his naiveness going on longer. Just something was missing.
Spoiler

the idea of him staying at the school to and helping the ghost intrigued me, but then all of a sudden the principal is actually dying and he will need to do a 23 ghost transcending ritual.

[collapse]

The other issue I had are with the extras. While I liked the POV of the bus driver ghost, I found the one with the ML POV didn't give much insight that we didn't already know. I would have much preferred more about his new job or romantic moments between MC and ML.

This novel is lowkey socialist propaganda, but it's pretty subtle despite being really in your face about it somehow, and it's mostly used as a plot device to explain MC's OPness when dealing with ghosts, so it didn't bother me too much. It's told in first person, which I usually avoid as I prefer third person limited omniscient but it's a short read so it's not extended torture if you hate first person novels. The overall tone is very humorous, and the romance isn't the main focus but it was... more>> still a nice addition to the plot.

MC is a bit overly oblivious but the comedic tone makes it believable, and this novel is mostly a parody anyways, so his lack of awareness doesn't feel unnecessary or annoying. His character is overall very righteous and kind, and his dealings with the ghost children are all very sweet. The ML also is quite likable, and his sincerity when dealing with MC is very endearing. They have a few cute scenes together in the main story, but I especially loved the first three extras, where we get to see the story from ML's POV:

Spoiler

The fact that this man knew about MC's feelings way before he actually confessed, and even prior to starting anything was already calculating their compatibility based on their birthdays, considering his father's approval of their relationship, scheming ways to make the MC reveal his feelings, and secretly observing MC with stars in his eyes... absolutely brilliant.

[collapse]

Only thing I was a bit disappointed by is that this story only takes you through the details of 3 or so of the ghosts' backstories before basically exorcising the entire class of fierce ghosts all at once. It's an interesting choice as I wonder if the author just got tired of writing or had planned that from the start, as we don't really get to see any of why the other 23 or so children were holding on as fierce ghosts. At the same time, I appreciate how short this novel is so I'm not too upset! <<less

Every chapter have a twist ?

After reading this novel, I saw ghosts with different point of views.

Every ghost have their own story that make you sad and can't help felt sympathetic.

This was very funny. It isn't so much a horror story perse but a fluffy novel. The MC is a teacher who takes the moral stance every time and a firm believer in science. The ML is a celestial master who believes that he has to help the MC stay safe from all the ghosts he's encountered. The last few chapters are extras that retell the story from someone else's POV. There's a few from the MLs, the ghostbus driver, the celestial student, and so on.

Sweet, funny, and heartwarming. MC is a badass, but doesn’t know it. He’s adorably dumb about a few specific things, but is genuinely good-natured. Happy ending, mostly comedy, with a light romantic subplot. The translator is superb; everything is from the MC’s perspective, but the translation clearly communicates to the reader the things the MC doesn’t notice. Highly recommended!

Very funny, and the plot outside the romance was very nice. (The romance was also nice, but it was the outside plot that really drew me in, watching the MC resolve things in his unique way was great)

This is a must read for anyone that love a light hearted and funny story consisting of hilarious misunderstandings of ghosts. Even if you are not into BL you could read this as that is not the focus of the story, and their interactions are light and suitable for children. I love how righteous our MC is but his righteousness come from his heart not from his fist. If you like scary ghost story this is not for you as its not scary, but it is still neat to read... more>> about variants of ghosts. <<less

Cute novel where the MC is a righteous person who doesn't believe in ghosts... and actually ends up teaching a whole class of them whilst not realizing their real identities.

He cares about his students either way, which is heartwarming to see. I kinda wish we got to see the stories of his other students though.

Anyway, I liked it. Thought it was cute and funny. Perfect for when you want to read something light. A worthwhile read 👍

What a breath of fresh air. A perfect palate cleanser after something heavy or a bad novel that tries too hard. This one is more of a tongue-in-cheek caricature type of novel that knows what it is and creatively capitalizes on that.

Although it's a comedy, typical ghost stories often include tragedy and heavy topics. These were not handled carelessly for the sake of comedy, they were given the respect they deserve without lingering too much or getting too heavy. This was made possible with the lighthearted touch of an oblivious... more>> but caring and well-meaning protagonist with deep-rooted beliefs and false confidence. A perfect personality combination for maintaining the comedy without it being in poor taste.

It's a charming story with charming characters, every single one of them. Highly recommended. <<less

Very entertaining. Watching the MC deal with fierce ghosts like a true teacher who cares about students was quite amazing.

I disagree with people who say he's dense. The MC is smart just very determined. When he realizes the truth, he is able to cope and adapt very quickly and continue to do his job.

It's hard to do 1st person stories well, but I think this story was very well suited to this form and the author used it very effectively. I will definitely be re-reading this story!

What an incredibly sweet story! And I can't believe I'm saying this about a story that's centered around ghosts!

This story is cute, it's fluffy, it's got incredibly likable characters, alive and otherwise. The romance aspect is very limited, but rewarding.

MC is well intentioned, not overly pedantic, all while righteously upholding his beliefs in the face of constant opposition.

... more>> I'm not a very pro-go/v individual, so I took in Teacher Shen's lessons with a pinch of salt, but the intent behind them was commendable.

The translation is incredible, which is the standard for E. D. <<less

I was attracted by the synopsis and thought it would be hilarious to see MC's obliviousness. But it was way too much for me to handle, he seemed absurdly dense, I mean this neutrally. Throughout the novel, I just had one sentence in my mind seeing him interact with ghosts, 'impossible'. I still cannot believe a person can be as dense as him, even if fictional, that too in this aspect. Thus, I didn't really enjoy the main theme, as such, I cannot really judge this novel by stars.... more>> But for those who don't mind MC's character, this novel may be very enjoyable. It is lighthearted (mostly) yet somewhat deep, funny and just a lovely, fast read. Maybe I can enjoy this after I take some time to adjust to the theme of the story. <<less

Personal rating :2.5

This novel is a lot of things but overall I decided to drop it mainly because of the MC

The plot idea is 3.5/5

... more>> The Main Character is someone who doesn't believe in the supernatural when he got hired to be a teacher of 25 strange students and lives with 2 strange roommates and finally falls for a strange but handsome guy. Of course, those strange students and roommates are simply ghost while the handsome guy is the exorcist.

Thought there is ghost, it aint a horror story. Simply mild comedy that I love the book for it. The MC disbelieve in supernatural creates for hilarious events but without the interaction of the other ghost it simply became obnoxious. I notice many comments loving the MC but I can't relate.

"What? You’re saying I’ve met a ghost? Impossible! As a staunch scientific materialist, I absolutely don’t believe there’s any such thing as ghosts!"

As the MC said in the summary he is a staunch scientific materialist. And apparently, he has been unknowingly fighting with ghosts for years back. What annoys me is despite the clear distinction of people saying they're dead or when I used to be alive and etc. He views the other as psycho and needing therapy and when he sees anything weird he views it as their odd hobby. Which is fairly insulting to me.

Of course, if it was simply that I would still be able to enjoy the book. But I find the MC to be a self-obsessed, obnoxious person. To explain, because he doesn't believe in ghosts he goes to try to prove to others that science is truth and ghosts are just brainwashed stuff. He's a crush and exorcist. He decided to learn more about him in order to show him science. It sounds very much like how religion occurs. One learning the other to prove how the other's religion is false and that he's is the truth. So already he's acting like the world revolves around him. But the fact that the author makes the story actually revolve by making him OP? Because he a late20s virg*n with who follow the rules of the world and virtues or something. The way he thing his crush is making his move on him and not going to listen to the truth because ghosts are nonsense. Science is the truth.

And to the author. Yes I know he's gay. You dont need to compensate every time he says the girl is a beauty and followed by I'm gay. Or I won't be lusting for the women because im gay. Or because I'm gay I believe I should be a gentleman. Like??? Most straight guys ain't a gentleman. You don't have to compensate for being gay to be a gentleman.. It's cringe.

Seriously tho.. Why is he OP and why is the ghost afraid of him just because he's yang energy is so high because he's a virg*n? There must be a 50 years old virg*n in the world. Let alone tons of 28 years old virg*ns. And for alll of his ' you need to be good, lawful and never sin personality' he really does like to eavesdrop or busy body until before he actually hears good info before saying, its not good to eavesdrop as a lawful, angel. Or something.

Honestly, I love the novel, but yes. The MC really ruin it for me. It has potential. The way he doesn't deny his student because they seem pitiful or something reminds me of a BL manga, about a sensei giving his love to the entire class. And now the whole class is in love with the sensei and he began ****ing them because he can't refuse their love for him. <<less

I liked it very much.

But how often Teacher Sheng mentions Marxism and how patriotic he is, felt slight like brainwashing. It probably is normal because it is China, however it bothered me a little.

The way it was put on the text, Teacher Sheng might as well be the MC because of his beliefs, and putting one belief over others isn't right.
