A fun and interesting horror BL!The first arc is the one described in the summary, it's takes several horror tropes but borrows the most heavily from the camp slasher type horror ala Friday the 13th while throwing in some other fun stuff.Even though the characters are based on cliches for the first arc, I quite like the side characters. The side romance is honestly kinda sweet. While it plays into the genre, it's not mean spirited.After the first arc, the story sorta opens up into this uh gauntlet of horror tropes. The scenarios are pretty classic but fun and exciting in their own way! It alternates POVs from Seojun and ML. Seojun's pov is generally suspenseful and tense.Honestly I enjoy the American setting. Firstly, there's a lot of horror born from America (cornfields, motels, gas station, summer camp) and secondly, it's very funny for reborn Korean Seojun to despair over the real American horror - American healthcare and health insurance.So Seojun, our protag. I have a love hate relationship with him. He's like a sopping wet cat who is constantly drowning in the nearest body of water. Honestly, he can be selfish, paranoid, callous, and unhinged. But like that's the point. Seojun is this unhinged coward but then he does something selfless or kind and you see he's trying to be a better person despite being a hot mess. He is also mentally hanging by a thread but it's a resilient thread! Honestly, considering he is Always encountering The Horrors I'll give him a pass.ML. I love him lol. He's also experiencing the horrors but aceing them. Romance is slow but he's constantly present in the story so it doesn't feel too slow. Since Seojun is the kind of guy who attracts horrors, you can guesswhat kind of guy ML might be! But he's still cute.Also shout-out to the translation. It really captures the suspense and gore, I really enjoyed reading it.
