This is a horror themed body swap novel with a horror fanatic and an axe mu*derer (would be mu*derer since he states he never kills anyone, but often a talks big game about how he loves the idea of it and even attempts to mu*der someone from the start but backs off since the woman is bigger than him which is really s*upid, in fact, just set up your character as a wannabe cowardly mu*derer in the first place and it would be easier to digest). The mu*derer is also acting like an 8th grader in that he'll constantly say he will kill someone but find any reason on earth not to.
The horror parts are brainless and the "CUT" chapters depicting the rom-com style life of the so called mu*derer is ridiculous. I would love it if the author mentions his changed state of mind or slowly integrated some character development for the mu*derer, but no, it's a gag comedy styled reverse domination for the mu*derer in a horror novel, the axe mu*derer, who should be devoid of such emotions, even cries about being put in a scary postion and talks like a young, weak man (cause he's in the body of a young, weak man his mentality becomes as such? Then why isn't the MC suddenly a psychopathic mu*derer after he crosses, instead his mentality stays as a normal and rightous young man throughout).
I guess it's meant to be a break in between the horror but the horror is not even scary, it's mostly action and also kinda s*upid cause the MC will constantly say "this is a cliché and something bad will happen" and then just do it and say "I knew it" afterwards. It's ungratifying and I wish he never talked about the cliché in the first place if he's just gonna go ahead with it anyways and not even talk about finding a different solution or just discussing the issue with the parties involved. Nope, just do it.
If you are younger you might enjoy this, I can see myself enjoying this if I was a teenager, it's also really light horror so it won't scare you either. Every important character in the novel basically has a teenage/young mentality and every other character is either a gag character with stereotypes or bland or both.
Spoiler
There is a psychiatrist in the story who, as soon as introduced, is depicted as a proud and arrogant person, jumps to conclusions and diagnoses the MC on 1 question. The final diagnoses he arrived to is that the MC is over compensation for his small weiner with his large build, to which the MC starts describing it being extremely large in his thoughts. Afterwards, the so called psychiatrist starts comparing sizes, saying his is bigger and asks the MC to show his to him, vehemently at that, even after being hit and thrown out of the house (where he lowers his pants and shows his first and asks the MC to show his to which the MC describes it as small in his thoughts, so this is literally a random d*ck measuring competition out of nowhere just to let the readers know the MC is packing). Was this a psycho maybe for an upcoming story? Nope, just setting up a character to hate cause the MC essentially causes his death seconds later and you won't feel too bad cause he's a crazy psycho pe*verted psychiatrist. I started rooting for the monsters at some point. If the author knew anything about psychiatrists, or normal people, and stopped using excuses like, it's a trope in horror movies to set up dumb characters, this would be easier to read.
