Great book
Loved this book it was amazing! Not sure why it says ongoing, seems to me it finished.
The dialogue in this batch is deceptively simple. On the surface, it's straightforward conversation. But read it closely and every line is doing double or triple duty. Let's start with Eighteenth Lady. Her voice is immediate and distinct—complaints, excitement, self-deprecation, all in equal measure. 'I'll definitely make more friends, human or Ghost, in the future.' This is a ghost who's genuinely trying to integrate into the human world, and her dialogue reveals that longing without ever being sentimental about it. When she says 'Now it seems as though I'm the one accompanying him on this investigation,' there's a wistfulness underneath the humor that you only catch if you're paying attention. Xu Jichun's dialogue is almost the opposite—sparse, precise, understated. 'Sounds good. I'll go take a look at the festivities.' 'Good. I'll go to the mortuary to catch my breath.' He never over-explains. His questions are functional but revealing: 'Is Mount Buting fun?' is both a casual inquiry and a strategic move to keep Eighteenth Lady talking so he can plan their route. The man is always three steps ahead, and his dialogue reflects that—minimal words, maximum intent. The exchange between Xu Jichun and Lu Xiuyan is where the dialogue really shines. Look at this: 'Mingye is truly chivalrous.' 'It's nothing. No need to thank me.' The two exchanged a smile, then quickly turned their faces away in embarrassment. That's it. Two lines of dialogue and a single action beat, and you've got an entire history of unspoken feelings between them. The subtext is so thick you could cut it with a knife. And Eighteenth Lady, standing between them, 'only half understanding'—she's the audience surrogate, the one who sees the surface but misses the depth. Madam Zhang's dialogue is carefully controlled. She performs grief perfectly—'the handkerchief she used to wipe them crumpled into a ball'—but then delivers the line 'Qin Silang deserved his death' with such casual cruelty that you wonder if the tears were real or rehearsed. Her voice shifts from warm hostess to calculating relative in a single sentence. And Qin Caifan—behind the screen, we never hear her full voice. Only 'timid' and 'muffled sobs.' The author deliberately withholds her dialogue, making her presence feel ghostly even though she's alive. When she finally speaks, it's fragmented, interrupted by crying. The silence between her words is louder than anything she could say. The author's narrative voice is equally distinctive—wry, observant, never moralizing. It trusts the reader to connect dots. No hand-holding, no 'as you can see.' Just clean prose that lets the characters speak for themselves.
Honestly, this so-called "mob" is actually someone who deeply loves the world he's immersed in. Like a true gaming enthusiast, he has taken it upon himself to improve, striving for strength. It's crucial to note that a dedicated fan wouldn't resort to stealing key plot elements or items from the main character. The reality is, this individual is a single-minded player, solely focused on being #1, not a fan per se.
He pretends not to crave attention, but one of the game's events he mentions involves scoring higher than potential love interests on exams. To secure the best outcome, he tops everyone else, yet now complains about lost time and unwanted fame. Frankly, I wish I could knock some sense into him.
To be honest, I would rate it 4 stars if it weren't for the readers who judge the entire novel as terrible based on not liking the initial chapters. It's true that the character faces hardships, like being mistreated in school and his pacifistic nature, which can be frustrating. However, once he leaves the school setting, there's significant character development. He evolves, though not completely abandoning his pacifism, as he becomes more assertive.
In later parts, the story takes an interesting turn – he gains extraordinary abilities, connects with other characters, including a girl who lost her life with him, and confronts the trauma from his mother's assault by seeking justice. This includes seeking revenge, discovering his family history, and reuniting with his sister and old friends. New characters are also introduced.
The translation quality is commendable, and the female leads are well-written. The pacing issue is my main concern, though. Overall, it's an above-average read, but one should ideally read at least 50 chapters to form a proper opinion.
Crodie, where did you read the full novel?
Thanatos is the God of death in Greek mythology and like any God with the title he is also a Physcopum but, Hermes is the God that is tasked with collecting all newly deceased soul and taking them to the river Styx where they are Faried across by karon as long as they can pay his fee. So yeah Hermes is literally the gather of soul in Greek mythos while thanatos is the one who decides if your time is up and you are ready to move on to the afterlife.
