I wasn’t sure if I should read this at first hahahaa glad I did!!! The MC way of thinking is just hilarious. Though I think the romance is a bit rush, I love both MC and ML. I love how MC “you know what” on the bus to Manager xia on the bus. I laughed my a** off. Recommend. 4.6/5⭐️

Short cute story about struggling young teachers first job and it's a ghost school! But he is too dense to realize that all other teachers and students are ghosts. He thinks they're weird but it pays well, teaching hours are short, and has a free accommodation! He is not going to complain. He helps each of them to reach afterlife.

Not much romance, it's only towards the end. And MC here is much stronger than ML.

This story relies heavily on the protagonist’s naivety. I refuse to call it practicality or a spirit of scientific inquiry because there are several instances where the protagonist doesn’t put things together logically. He professes time and again that he upholds the law and yet when he is attacked and nearly killed by a colleague, he is comfortable with the reassurance that the colleague has been sent for therapy. The question of reporting the incident doesn’t arise. The protagonist trusts the principal’s goodwill purely because he gets paid handsomely and in advance. There is this constant inconsistency which makes the protagonist unrealistic. There’s no attempt to flesh him out and he, therefore, remains a caricature in his own story. What starts off as comedic writing starts grating the nerves beyond a point.

Plot: 5/5

I'll keep this short. Just like the story.

The plot is very simply, but it was also very interesting equally. As far as I remember, there was no hole in the plot, as it was very simplistic.

... more>> The pacing is normal. Not too fast for the readers to not understand, not also too slow for the readers to get bored of reading it until the end.

The gore was not much honestly, but it was quite detailed in a few scenes.

In other words, the plot and pacing are perfectly balanced.

Romance: 5/5

The romance is quite slowburn, probably because of the main characters. But now that slowburn though. You can see the development of their relationship in every chapter. They have a very harmonious relationship, one that I rarely see when I read danmeis.

MC is ignorant, so ML protects him. ML is too serious, so MC is that one safe place ML has.

This might make it sound like the MC is weak but... If you read the early chapters of this danmei, you'd certainly would not be able to say that MC is weaker than ML. They're of equal strength and they really are a power couple if you think about it.

Main Characters: 5/5

Ah... How do I say this... I really love the main characters! Their characters were really refreshing!

The MC is definitely cute and the ML is far from the usual danmei male leads, and I love it.

I love how MC tries to teach the ghosts the human laws and when he finds out they are ghosts, he wanted to teach them ghosts rules. He's so upright and so cute istg, plus, he has a buzz cut?? I love Teacher Shen! I'd do everything to have him as my teacher.

Side Characters: 5/5

While I really love the main characters with all my heart, I also love the side characters very much!

All their character traits are so distinct and so unique! They are all special in their own way so I am able to remember them very well. I love the side characters, the living ghost girl is so relatable too. I hate tests to the point I would really run away lmao.

Overall: 5/5

After reading a few chapters, I really thought that it was boring and that it didn't match my type of genre. So I dropped it and ignored it for months until I was looking for more Cyan Wings work since I liked the Venerable Also Wants To Know and I started reading it again. I didn't think that I would binge it in a day...

Overall, this one is so good! It didn't need a lot of chapters and a complicatedly deep plot to be a good story. The plot was so easy to follow so I recommend it to new readers! <<less

I read this on a whim because the discription grabbed me and I have never recommended any other novel so quickly to my friends. Personally, my only complaint is that it's too short!

Spoliers!!

I very much enjoyed the concept, the plot was well paced and proceeded quickly but not so rushed as you couldn't follow what was happening. I loved the sde characters, they were all memorable without being overshadowing to the MC. There are some brief mentions of gore and body horror, but it's also very refreshing to see how... more>> the MC handles these with the utmost seriousness even as you, the reader, snicker knowing that he's expending all these efforts over ghosts.

A couple people have already mentioned that the romance was not as well developed as it could have been, and I agree with that but I also think that it wasn't the main point of the novel. (I know, odd for a danmei). If you read the story the romance is second place in the MC's mind because he wants to put his students first as he firmly believes a good teacher should. In that context, I feel the romance is perfectly balanced with this novel, and I also think it was cute and sweet.

My only complaint was the Love Intrest went from somewhat frosty to "omg this guy's is precious I must keep him" literally overnight, so it was a little bit odd - but it didn't really interfere with the flow of the story, and the author did explain the LI pov in the extras so you can follow his logic there. <<less

4.5 stars

This is hilarious and I love how oblivious the MC was with everything and was incredible scary to everyone else. The romance isn't the main story here, definitely way in the background, so don't read this for any great building of emotions. Read this to laugh and have a good time.

So funny and cute! It's been a while since i've read something that actually makes me chuckle out loud. The MC is so funny. I love how oblivious and confidence he is sometimes. He is truly a good man at heart ~ The ML is so cute!

He's also respectful!! Their interactions are so cute! This is truly a wholesome novel <3

I liked it. It was short and fun.

If I had to nitpick, it would be; the author made MC intentionally dense for comedic effect but for me instead of humor, it diminished/reduced the character of MC.

Spoiler

The MC is very righteous and trustworthy.

one time he was told an item is very old and should not be carried around and taken out under sun. He agrees thinking its an antique. Then the next day he tries to mend it and put it under sun to dry. This scene is written as funny bit where he is so innocent and righteous that he tries to fix things but actually he is torturing ghosts. But it is not funny to me. It just paints him as an idiot, forgetting his promise and agreement just from 1 night ago.

sweet short story. The horror part is actually the comedy part of it. Even I am someone who don’t like horror can still appreciate it. MC is a bit dense but cute. ML is supportive and sweet. Side characters are all so sweet. The plot hole is not very disturbing, like you can see there plot hole and the author didn’t even try to hide it. I read the author other work, the special part is that the side characters have their unique characteristic and the vibe is positive.

4.6 stars, I LOVE THIS ONE.

I'm a scaredy cat, I don't read horror story much except it mix with comedy like "New time new hell" and this one has all the tags I want so I gave it a try and it's perfect. The MC is a optimistic one with his own comedic thought, he's kind in any possible ways but not to the point of annoying. The ML is not outstanding here but he's not a stubborn freak and willing to watch and learn. The ghost characters had their... more>> own tragedy, they are fierce but still cute most of the time.

Overall is very satisfying, from the beginning to the extra, I love every chapters of this novel. <<less

A heartwarming novel that made me smile all the way through. I loved reading the ML's POV in the extras.

At first, I thought this novel was just a cliche horror comedic novel with an overly naive MC and boring plot but as I continue to read, it is actually full of fluff.. (for me though) , some tragic backstory, and interesting way to view life. I love the MC's way of "theoretical knowledge" and optimistically tortured those ghosts in hilarious ways. This novel also ends in satisfying way without hard feelings or the feeling of being hanged. Overall, I really like it and highly recommended.

I loved this story. It’s a heartwarming story that encourages people to be good to each other. Also I liked all the characters. I highly recommend it.

this is such a cute novel!! I love teacher shen's personality so much and how he helped the ghosts transcend each time without knowing it. Im also very thankful for the extras because it gave ning tiance's pov during the whole time with teacher shen and how he gradually fell in love with him.

all in all, a very funny and cute novel 🥰❤️

Two words. Amazing and hilarious. Yes maybe it's hard to find someone as fearless as teacher Sheng, but it is intended to be a funny book and it serve beautifully.

The book is hilarious and the joke is never old. Throught reading this I laugh my ass off which surprised me since not many novel can actually make me laugh because the joke rarely delivered right. But here, I found myself wanting for more of this and even though I'm sad it ended, I'm still glad I get to read this... more>> amazing book.

Recommended for people who just want to have a nice laugh and fast read. Thank you for the translator for dedicating so much time translating this. <<less

So far, it's hilarious. However, I'm having problems with the MC. Maybe it's because it's written in a first POV, the thoughts of the MC are exposed to the readers. Hence, I sometimes get annoyed or frustrated by his personality. This is especially when he encounters people who believe in ghosts and he would invalidate them. I get that he's a materialist or has a whatever ideology. Let's see if my opinion would change. I'll be continuing.

Personally I think this novel is bit overrated, I was expecting so much after seeing the ratings or maybe I compared it to other popular high rated novels. But still it is a really good read with funny plots and interesting characters. The translation is done well.

For those who found this book to their liking, I recommend you '' New Times, New Hell'', which is also a hilarious novel like this one.

The story is perfection, and the translation is perfect as well. It is one of the most comfortable and satisfying reading experiences I've had. Lovely, warm and sweet. I loved both the MC and the ML.

Not your typical comedy-horror story (honestly more of just supernatural stuff than horror). Made me chuckle quite a bit. A touching, satisfying, and humorous story. A Perfect ending. Kudos to translator-sama.

Definitely worth your time.

This novel is so good! It’s make me laugh very hard. The characters are cute and have adorable personality. I have many thoughts I want to write, but I’m not good with English. So, read top comment, it’s contained most of the opinions I have.
