Seoul Object Story Chapter 206 Discussion

This is supposed to be horror novel but I got diabetes instead. Please God I need Mini Reapers in my life. Theyre so adorable 😭

Ahemm... Taking passages that depict the novel accurately.

"The Objects clearly appeared on earth to grant a wish... "

"Then why are the Objects so cruel?"

"... perhaps humanity's wishes would be this ugly."

Seoul Object Story bring SCP-esque tales centering around an Object born from a dying researcher wish called Gray Reaper. In a world that various Object ranging from harmless to disastrous keep being born, humanity tried to learn about these Object, either to eliminate, utilize or contain them. Growing desensitized by Objects that doesnt do any harm, humans becomes lack of caution towards Objects, thus tragedy was born. Sometimes due to greed, sometimes ignorance, sometimes just pure unfortune. The story progressed through these tragedies, presented through various PoV, from victim, passerby, perpetrator, recurring characters and of course Gray Reaper.

I jumped to this novel prepared for a heavy story, but its fairly light thanks to Gray Reaper. Rather than reincarnation, like I said Gray Reaper is more of an entity born with a dying man memory. Even with those memories, It act like a child or newly born Object. Gray Reaper has mischief and playful personality, act on impulse and driven by curiosity. Such contrast compared to other PoV lighten the atmosphere of the story. Its like im prepared for a bitter coffee but found out its actually a coffee milk. Of course I love milk. And it get sweeter and sweeter with cute antics of researchers that grown attached to Reaper and adorable mini reapers that act more pure like Gray Reaper if It doesnt have past memory.

Heh, enough with the diabetes inducing element. Fluff and comedy aside, this story is combination of horror mystery and action fantasy. On one side, the Objects performing bizarre and grotesque phenomenon running rampant, on another side Gray Reaper battling other Object that poses harm to it's comfort and attached humans. Sometimes through brute force and sometimes through puzzle because the prerequisites to kill them cant be done through force.
