Xiao Gui’an, a D-list actor, died—but not completely.

He was chosen to play an NPC in a supernatural horror world.

Now a ghost, Xiao Gui’an thought he could finally stop being afraid.

But who knew the protagonists in the horror world were even more terrifying than the ghosts themselves? They sliced through spirits like chopping vegetables, took the words “brutal” and “psychopath” to the extreme, and surviving in the hands of these destiny-favored madmen became priority number one.

So Xiao Gui’an had to do everything he could to juggle between ghosts and humans.

How did he rise through the ranks? With acting!

How did he keep his sanity value stable? Also with acting!

Eventually, thanks to his award-worthy performances, Xiao Gui’an unknowingly became a real boss respected by both humans and ghosts. The chosen ones started treating him like a walking cheat code, and he found himself stuck on the path of working three jobs a day like a tireless role model.

Xiao Gui’an: “Why the hell am I a ghost still fighting for my life every day?” Collapse

    I’ve read up to chapter 267, and honestly, the plot is still interesting so far, even though there are some parts I don’t really understand and that aren’t explained clearly. 6 6

    The MC is pretty ordinary. He’s not the sly or mastermind type or anything. But I think he’s quite smart. He’s willing to learn from his mistakes (I guess).
    No—actually, I think he might be insanely good at ACTING. If he existed in the real world, he’d probably win an Oscar. (Just kidding… or maybe not?)

    Anyway, since this story is all about misunderstandings, I’ll share a bit of my impression.
    This is the classic type of misunderstanding where the MC is mistaken for someone super powerful or some kind of higher entity. You’ll find a lot of lines like, “Could it be…?” “Don’t tell me…” “So all this time…” “How is that even possible?!”
    The story is so heavy on misunderstandings that it sometimes feels a bit over the top. bond

    The setting of every world he enters is pretty interesting, in my opinion! There’s also a system concept here that feels kinda weird. It seems like the system isn’t all-powerful and feels a bit human—or more precisely, almost unreliable. (Or maybe not?) pressure

    But yeah, this is just my personal opinion~ everyone has different tastes, right? know Overall, I think this novel is quite good. I’d rate it 3.5/5, because I often felt bored in some parts.

    MC’s original job is actor, now he’s to fill in for roles in horror story scenarios as an NPC

    Would prefer if MC really experienced more, after two hours of reading they’ve only finally finished their third role and the first two were done simultaneously too

    Not bad actually, not much cheating going on
    The Proxy System is an offshoot of the main one, in charge of, well, emergency maintenance I guess, so not omnipotent
    2nd arc I’d call an interlude between 1st and 3rd, it’s a drag but okie
    Chapter lengths are okay, plot moves alright
    A bit confusing sometimes, events just happen, but the lack of transition is a writing issue and not a story issue so it ok

    MC kinda dumb. I expected him to be cunning, but he actually just relied on the misunderstandings.

    I tried this before, found it below average, it's mostly forced misunderstanding moving the plot.
