I'm still reading, because I want to know what happens, but giving this a 2 star so far.This novel is kind of hard to read, I'm not sure if that's the author's fault in their writing or if it's the difficulty in the translations. I can't seem to keep up with all the different ghost types, titles and different names between each chapter. The novel also jumps between 4 timelines: MC's past in a regular world, MC's past in a supernatural world, other MC's possible future in the supernatural world and MC's current timeline. In addition to all those timelines, other characters in the novel are also reborn and they all take their time having flashbacks to what happened in their future, etc and those flashbacks are a lengthy chunk of each chapter. On top of that, since we get the story from the POVs of side characters a lot, they all seem to have their own names, titles, nicknames etc. for what I think may be same characters but because there's so much going on already it just adds to the confusion. It feels like the storyline is just dripping full of potential but huge parts are confusing and that makes it hard to keep the plot in mind. There are also parts where the plot just drops off like every single live streaming, we see that the MC started the stream and there's a couple barrage and then there's no mention if the MC turned off the stream or not when he's off battling a ghost or possibly revealing his strength as more than what someone with a "disabled" ghost should have.I also find the personality of the MC and ML to be bland. So far, ML is a killing machine, absolutely untouchable and no sense of warmth to anyone except MC... except that in the first few chapters he's described as someone down on his kick and resorts to singing in bars to earn money and he smiled when MCs brothers pulled him forward (isn't that touching??). MC is super bland in that every scene with him is him experiencing a flashback off the supernatural!MC or him observing something or just thinking. He doesn't seem to have much personality or charm so I'm not sure how he managed to capture the group of brothers that he has. On the opposite end, all secondary and side characters are rich with distinct personality and aspirations, even the spiders are cute and hilarious. The one scene Canon fodder ghosts are also funny. It's really the side characters keeping the story attractive to read.I'll keep reading for now and will update my review if my thoughts changes
