The translation upto c13 was really good and made me interested in the novel. Then I tried to MTL and that’s when I decided to drop the novel because I’m not sure what’s happening anymore.The storyline goes like this: MC is transmigrated into a novel he read as the villain’s pocket mirror that can reveal a demon’s true form. It’s the modern times where demons coexist with humans. The ML works in an agency that captures wayward demons.The thing is author doesn’t say what the ori gong and ori shou in the novel does that causes the downfall of the villain. We only know that the MC is pissed and hates the ori gong and ori shou. In the initial chapters, ori gong makes a brief appearance but nothing really happens.The story is focused on how MC is a clueless naive person as he tries to pretend to be a normal mirror but everyone knows he’s not. ML is aware of MC’s existence from the beginning and gradually his staff at the agency realizes it too as they can hear MC’s voice and see him sneak food away. I cannot imagine how MC looks as ML described him as a small black dot on the mirror initially and later on can see MC’s hands. So does MC emerge from the mirror or is he hanging around the surface of the mirror? Author mentioned the mirror is also like a space. So what’s the dot??? Cannot imagine nor understand.The chemistry between MC and ML also felt lacking to me. ML seems to have instantly fall for MC and his cute naive antics. MC thinks ML is super handsome so far but that’s about it.The story also has some mystery elements as the demon agency solves cases. But it is usually solved easily with no effort.Not keen to continue so I’m stopping here.
