2.5-3. There's something disappointing about this, especially when you realize who the author is and how they could've wrote it better. The premise of this novel is incredible and so interesting. However, that's probably the only different thing because everything else reads like a basic entertainment novel, just with ghosts.

Pros: the MC is ok I guess. I like his vision and determination. He doesn't know all but he tries to keep the ghosts under control the best he can. The idea of a ghost entertainment group is fun. That's pretty much it.

Cons: the pacing omg. It's not terrible, but it just feels like it's too slow and just unnecessary details esp when those details arent even well described (more telling). It does feel like there is more telling than showing, esp after the first 17 chapters or so. The pacing and lack of critical interesting events is the biggest thing too. It feels very linear and like I'm on a train and I know why what's coming up and why that. Happened bc it'll take me where we're going. It doesn't help that, when you really think about it, besides a couple ghosts, do any of the characters, even the MC to some degree, feel like they have a real personality? The MC has the most personality. The ML is just a stereotypical soft marshmallow boy. And everyone else (human) is a bit annoying imo. It's not particularly funny (never laughed) nor is it scary nor is it exciting nor is it mysterious nor is it wholesome nor is it cute. Its just a good idea with a mediocre execution.

Tbh, if you like basic entertainment novels, I think you'll probably like this. Otherwise, it's just moving slightly boring. I dropped it. At best I think people can enjoy this but I don't want to waste my time.
