I like the story—the premise is good, the art is pretty, and even though there’s a hint of harem, it doesn’t bother me because the story focuses on horror. Plus, all the female characters are wandering ghosts, and their stories are touching enough to show they were all good people.
What really bothers me, though, is the MC’s personality. I feel like common sense should tell him that entering someone else’s home without permission is a crime, no matter the reason. Most houses these days have interfaces that record attempts to unlock doors, so if he tried breaking in and there was evidence, he’d likely get caught. On top of that, he’s still not in the clear regarding Hayeon’s body—thanks to his help, he even becomes one of the prime suspects.
He could have at least explained to the new ghost, Sieun, that she shouldn’t act rashly, or planned his approach more carefully. From what Sieun said, she lived with an old friend who ran away from home and was later killed by that same friend. MC should have deduced that this friend might still be living in Sieun’s place. Also, the fact that no missing report was filed for Sieun after her death should have raised suspicion. In an apartment complex that seems well-maintained, neighbors usually notice if someone hasn’t been seen for weeks, months, or even years.
If he’s a game streamer who has played across multiple genres, is it really possible for him to think this naively? Surely he’s played at least one detective-style game. How could such a simple deduction not come to mind at all?
Honestly, his naivety makes the story frustrating to read. For the first time in a story with a male MC surrounded by female characters, I actually disliked the MC. Usually, in harem stories, I criticize the author for too much fanservice, but here, I genuinely don’t mind the fanservice at all. It's amazing how my annoyance is entirely focused towards the MC’s behavior, and I think this might be my limit.
But… well, since I don’t have anything else to read right now, I’m trying to hold on for a few more chapters. If his personality improves, that’ll be a plus for me. If not, then it’s just one more reason to drop the story completely.
