They All Say I’ve Met a Ghost

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.

Honestly, this is one of my really favorite online novel. I read this multiple times already so I'm confused why I didn't have a review on this one.

I even remember the name of Protagonist. Like, do y'all remember each protagonist name you read? I guess not.

I can remember Shen Jianguo, Luo Xun, Yao Xiaomo.... Unexpectedly only a few

... more>> Oh well

Anyway, I really like this novel.

Not so much of a horor like I usually read. Horor just as a genre addition just cause his student is so happen to be bunch of ghost. What happen then? Nothing

He is basically invincible towards his student. For example like a pure white milk that can't be stained.

The relationship seem okay and realistic for me. They progress and it's not abrupt. For MC it's may akin to a love at first sight. But for ML is steady progress indeed <<less

First praise to the translator who did the translation very well!!! So epic!!!

If anyone is looking for a romance story, really, this is not for you... This story is kind of a light horror story, very light, really, I even think it's a story about a gentle life. I'm a teacher, and I even think that teacher Shen is much better than me 😂

Short, finished in one sitting for me. The romance is very thin, but since it's not a conflicted story, it's nicely presented.

A good mix of horror, life,... more>> and comedy. <<less

A really fun lighthearted read with some poignent lessons. THE MC. Like some other reviews said, he can't actually exist in real life. He just can't. It just doesn't work. He's too much. But the whole premise of the novel is him teaching ghosts so who cares. If you're looking for realism please read another book. Romance is definitely a back burner to the MC's relationships with each ghost, but those relationships themselves are so precious.

Spoiler

For example, Teacher Liu to the MC before he moves on (rough translation) :

"Those who lay the blame on everything and everyone but themselves will feel that even when they see clear blue skies with clouds, that the sky is mocking them. But to Teacher Shen [the MC], even violent storms are there to help you temper your will.

I have always lived in the bitter pain I felt before my death. Everything I saw was stained blood red. But with Teacher Shen's lesson plans to guide people towards the righteous path and the views you hold towards the world that you wrote in my notebook [basically the physical body of Teacher Liu as a ghost], embedded into my heart, and engraved into my soul, what hatred and blame can I still have? Over a century has passed, how narrow minded would I have to be if I keep being entangled by these small matters?

[collapse]

Also learned one of my favorite phrases from this. Feng jian mi xin hai si ren (roughly translates to feudal superstitions kill people lol). I couldn't help but laugh everytime the MC brought out his believe in science and the material world to refute the existence of ghosts and anything mystical. Expect a really good time if you choose to read this masterpiece. <<less

It's a story about a graduate unemployed materialist man getting job of teaching ethics and morality to ghosts and make them reincarnate. In the whole journey, he doesn't know that he was teaching ghosts, firmly believing that they are all human trying to scare him

Horrifically awesome. The story is very lighthearted and the MC is very 'open-minded' to the point that his ideas transcend the local viewpoints against 'ghosts'. As I've read on, sometimes I slowly replace the word 'ghosts' to 'souls' because from the way he sees it — they're just people who didn't have flesh but should not be categorized indiscriminately. He knew everything said will be forgotten, but because he knows they're 'souls, ' his words will definitely lead them to a better path once they've reincarnated etc.

The story itself doesn't... more>> actually revolve about romance, horror, or BL itself. The comedic parts are subtle, but enough to keep you laughing past 3 am. <<less

This was such a funny and sweet story! For people who enjoys the thrills or horrors or gores, this is not for you. But for people who want a lighthearted story with a horror elements in it, this is a nice story to consider!

This might be not everyone's cup of tea, certainly not my usual choices also, but this was a fun ride!

This is... ghost comedy on crack. If you're scared of horror, this is not scary at all, so it's a good start if you're looking to get into horror bl. Though, most things make no sense at all. The explanations sounds like it came out from someone's ass hahaha, but then again, I don't think you can take this kinda novel seriously. The MC is s*upidly funny and the ML is too stoic for his good. The romance is cute, but sadly quite less, but the HE was a good... more>> cap for this novel. <<less

Ahhh, extremely cute and comedic! &Gt;.<

ML's POV was such a great additional aspect to read through - it brings more context to the ghost world and especially the romance between them

MC is way too 'dense', more like he's too materialistic, scientific and super righteous - he's literally like no such thing as ghosts, only people that need to learn about law and Marxism XD but that just makes MC's actions adorable

Anyways, this is definitely something that should be read. It's short (too short tho TAT), sweet, cute, and hilarious!

The reviews didn't lie, this was such a good novel. You'll definitely love all characters especially the MC. The right amount of chapters is what made me pleased as well. It's not too fast nor too slow. Everything felt natural, even their love story. It was a fun and heartwarming type of novel. Give this a try!

I laugh like a madman when reading this. A pure 5 star for the funny plot, and I really love our pure hearted silly loving MC. One of the best MC in danmei world! He didn’t have an easy life, but he always stay positive, hold his integrity, understanding, loving, such a great character I always want to be (i tried but until today I still be a selfish cold blooded money oriented b*tch).

No drama, no dogblood, even the romance is not really sweet, but you’ll find yourself can’t stop... more>> reading till the end. <<less

Im a fan of horror stories and this novel is really good at that!! Although I think some parts are scary even for me, the MC does a great job at calming and lowering my fear meter. If you're someone who's spooked easily but loves a great thrill - this one might interest you!!

I absolutely like the MC! This novel is not only give us a pure comedy, but also a good plot in horror or supernatural world. I absolutely adore the ML as well! He is very adorable!

I can only give this a pure 5 stars for the comedy, good plot, interesting extra chapters using the POV of other characters to see the novel involving the MC, and satisfying translation! It's short enough to finish in one day or one night.

The writing style took a bit to get used to, but this is an adorable story (and not in the cute couple way). While I always appreciate a good couple, it was not at all the focus of the story. I appreciate that.

Overall, a fun and entertaining story of a guy who just always does his best and successfully does not pass along any secondhand embarrassment to me.

Rating: 4.5/5- This was really interesting and unique.

I really liked the MC- he was such a lovely character and so true to his ideals. His kindness and dedication to doing what’s right made this a wonderful and warm hearted novel.

The ghosts were also really interesting with very heartbreaking backgrounds. I think the message of bullying was highlighted and doing what’s right, no matter what, came across well.

Highly recommend reading this for the novelty and MC.

5/5 Stars!! I have fallen in love with this novel. It has comedy, romance, a touch of horror/intrigue and most importantly heart.

You really feel for all the characters/their pasts and hope for their better future.

Its only a bit unfortunate we didn't get to spend more time with the class.

I definitely recommend this!!
