One of the better reads I've had in a while. The MC is by all means completely average in every way except for the fact that he's been possessed by some sort of game-like system and now continually crosses paths with various ghosts. That's a good thing in this case. He's unremarkable, but not boring. He isn't a genius by any stretch, but he's not an idiot. In fact, he reacts fairly realistically in every situation. The author did a great job making the MC realistic and relatable to the average person.The side characters on the other hand, are a bundle of quirks and overly-strong personalities, but somehow they're the least interesting part of the series. First off, the 2 male side characters are two-dimensional. I think it's safe to give up on any character development for either of them.
- One is an obese Japan-obsessed weeb that has made Otaku culture his entire personality, going as far as slipping japanese words into practically every sentence he speaks.
- The other is a narcissistic know-it-all that looks down on everyone else with his over-inflated ego. Certain events in Ch22 change his attitude towards the MC and only the MC, but that's not character development. He's not a better or more complete person, he just recognized the MC as someone who can get things done and has a bare-minimum level of intelligence. Dude's still an insufferable egotistical prick, and will likely remain the same for the entire run of this series.
- The first is a dirt-poor, timid and shy girl who under normal circumstances couldn't hurt a fly, but also has a yandere tendency so because the MC was the first guy to show her any consideration/be friendly with her, he has become here target of
affectionobsession. As of Ch34, she has only leaked her Yan side three times (once when she misspoke and almost said she would be with MC forever, and twice under extreme circumstances where she unhesitatingly and mercilessly attacked a person she viewed as a threat to MC), I look forward to more of that leaking out. - The second is a blond delinquent girl with resting bit*h face that sleeps in class a lot because she works a part time job... that's it. There hasn't been much interaction between her and MC because apparently her face and general demeanor are scary to the guy who has personally experienced the horror of death several times. Yeah, okay. Well, even if he's uncomfortable with her, with the latest haunting he has started pulling her along with the club so we'll likely be seeing more of her from here on.
- Girl #3 is a charming psychopath. She is calm under life threatening pressure, to the point of seeming almost entirely unaffected when people are dying or going insane around her. She has no hesitation towards acts of violence, going as far as choosing a knife to protect herself when everyone else in the group chose blunt, less lethal weapons like pans. At this point, she's the character with the most question marks surrounding her.
- Finally there's the teacher. 34yo and single, she apparently comes from a family of shamans so she has a tendency to get possessed easily. Also, when she gets possessed there has been a trend of her being weirdly h**ny so I don't know if that's just a regular character trait and we haven't seen her unpossessed often enough to see her be h**ny normally, or if she just attracts h**ny ghosts. Time will tell, I suppose. At this point, she's somewhat of a comic relief character. That stereotype of an adult that while generally competent, has enough disappointing traits that they kind of overshadow her competent ones. That being said, I'm not confident that that's how she's supposed to be read because, similarly to the delinquent girl, she just hasn't had enough screen time yet.
