    It's been ages since I last read a horror novel! Although this isn't strictly horror, it offers such a unique and invigorating experience. I really enjoy it!

    Additionally, despite there being no explicit Yuri tags, for some reason my thoughts always gravitate towards a Yuri storyline. Is it the narrative that suggests it, or am I just being more imaginative than usual?

    The review from the two-star reviewer is utterly absurd. They seem to have unrealistic expectations, assuming the main character (MC) should be perfect in every way. The MC, after experiencing physical and psychological trauma, finds themselves in a typical horror game, with their body taken over and unsure of their circumstances. As they navigate helping four young children survive, they must maintain a ghostly presence to avoid altering the storyline. If they don't, dire consequences await.

    For an adult leading children through such a situation, one can only imagine the disappointment expressed in the two-star review. The reviewer probably hasn't had real-life experience taking care of minors, as the comment suggests. The translation, on the other hand, does a commendable job capturing the essence of the characters' thoughts.

    The critique is harsh, but it's clear that some readers come expecting an overpowered, one-dimensional character with inappropriate interests, similar to the Japanese version. However, the appeal of this story lies in its relatable, human MC, not in mindless action. The plot stands out, receiving a development score of 5 out of 5, making it a gem worth reading. It's a beautifully touching tale that resonates with readers.

    What an excellent read! I really appreciate the unique concept of attempting to assist others while portraying oneself as a villain. This novel executes it flawlessly. The character development is well done, and their relationships with each other are engaging. Plus, the urban legends incorporated into the story were simply fantastic!

    The series is undeniably exceptional, offering a much-needed break from the repetitive tropes found in conventional Korean novels about regression, transmigration, and重生. Initially, the story seems like a typical reincarnation tale where a man becomes a female ghost trapped in a mirror. However, the narrative takes an intriguing twist when he finds himself transported into a game he once played, conveniently standing before a mirror, creating a shocking revelation.

    As the story unfolds, the protagonist encounters a ghostly girl named Ella, who, feeling lonely and sad, swaps their souls. Ella tragically dies while walking down the stairs and doesn't divulge more details. The unconventional start captivates readers, presenting a fresh perspective with a captivating plot.

    While the first part is commendable, the second half introduces a new plot involving Ella and some suspicious characters, which can make the story feel somewhat stagnant. Despite this minor setback, I'm thoroughly hooked on the series and would rate it as a rollercoaster of ghostly adventures.

    Here's a fun theory with a spoiler warning:

    **Spoilers ahead:**

    I speculate that the remaining characters, like MP's seven unfinished games and the seven seats, might hold significance. The Fairy Tail-like group with members like Pinocchio, Alice, Ariel, and Jack could suggest a connection between these characters and the games MP created. Their abilities might stem from their game origins and the roles they played within them. For instance, Ella's mirror manipulation powers and ghost summoning could be linked to her game and character.

    Another possibility is that future characters, such as Humpty Dumpty, Big Bad Wolf, or Little Red Riding Hood, might possess unique abilities influenced by their respective games and storylines. Alice's connection to Wonderland might offer her protection against supernatural entities.

    This is just a speculative theory based on the given context. The novel truly offers a unique reading experience that keeps me engaged.

    First and foremost, I'm captivated by narratives where the antagonist is initially misunderstood and feared. Although the story is currently limited to four chapters, it has made an impressive and unexpected start. I felt compelled to express my support for the tale despite its brief length. The main character's portrayal as a monster is exceptional, and I can already sense that this journey will be filled with excitement, unpredictability, and eccentricity. Even if the story were to conclude at its current stage, I'd be thoroughly satisfied. It's been outstanding thus far.

    Additionally, the machine translation is commendable; it's clear and easy to understand, without any signs of confusion or errors.

    I truly enjoy this; the characters are captivating, and the storyline is exceptional. What draws me in is the gradual revelation of the reason behind the main character's reincarnation or transportation, rather than it being a simple, arbitrary explanation. The MC's determination to transform a grim horror game into a positive outcome resonates with me, as it contrasts with the typical grimness of the genre. I appreciate the concept of Alice, who turns fear into fun and horror into adventure, ensuring her companions' safety despite the dangers, akin to a thrilling amusement park experience.

    In contrast to many horror films where protagonists struggle to overcome supernatural entities, often only achieving temporary victories, I prefer stories where the hero prevails and finds happiness. Real life has enough hardship, so I seek solace in fiction that offers satisfying endings for its characters.

    While there have been casualties in recent chapters, overall, this story remains gentler compared to other horror narratives I've encountered. In essence, I appreciate the balance struck between tension and hope, making it a refreshing read.

    Hello there, I'm a translator (proofreader) stepping in. Seeing the unexpectedly positive reception of this novel, I thought I'd share my thoughts. My apologies for any errors; English isn't my first language.

    To begin, the protagonist might come across as cliché at first, declaring, "I'll stick to the story," but by chapter two, their conscience drives them to deviate from that path. The characters are likable, with strong bonds – they trust each other's lives, and witnessing their teamwork and resilience against seemingly insurmountable challenges is heartwarming.

    Ella, our protagonist, explains the baffling world mechanics as mere game rules. But a spoiler alert: as the story progresses, Ella discovers hidden reasons behind everything, revealing a bigger picture.

    The protagonist's journey is intriguing, as they grapple with their identity, creating a sense of uncertainty and危机感. Their character development is a highlight. In summary, this is one of my favorites, and I don't wish to spoil too much. Enjoy!

    A captivating narrative that, while not strictly a horror tale, delves into the profound realm of tragedy and overcoming fears within a thought-provoking and theatrical context. For those who resonate with its themes and emotions, it unfolds like a enchanting fable值得一读。 However, for those who don't connect, it may come across as an average story lacking depth, with a hurried pace. The translation, on the other hand, is commendable.
