Who Hid My Corpse?!谁把我的尸体藏起来了！

Главный герой чёртов идиот, ведущий себя беззаботно.

After reading the entire work, I can say that it was worth it. But I still really want to know the continuation, though it’s unlikely to happen.

masterpiece really thats all. i rarely read past 50 chapters on other novel. that’s alone tell you about it. visas the goat

Первые 3 тома интересные, потом какая-то то х**нь происходит

Reviewing at chapter 68, end of 1st arc.
This is a story with amazing writing. The character development gives me immense hope for the novel. Untill the very end of chapter 68 you cannot predict how the development will happen. Amazing writing. Truly amazing.

Up until I read the last arc I would have rated this book a 4.5/5. Great worldbuilding, smart main character and good side characters + good character development. TheInkDrunkWanderer's review covers this in more depth and I agree with most of it except their take on the ending.

Unfortunately the ending took a lot away from it for me. Without spoiling, it let me take an excerpt from the afterword:

The entire last "arc" didn't seem well thought out or connected to the story. It seemed more like the author was given a challenge for how quickly they could finish the book. Maybe I'm being too harsh on them, but with how good the rest of the book was it just makes the ending all the more bitter.

Would I still recommend this book? Overall, I think so still. There are 350+ chapters of a great story and the author has started on the side stories after the ending so there's still hope the ending can be salvaged.

This is actually so good?

Daoist Inkdrunkwanderer's Review of Who Hid My Corpse?!

Every once in a while, a novel comes along with a premise so bizarre that you can't help but get curious. Who Hid My Corpse?! is one of those stories. Imagine being transmigrated into a game, only to discover that you're not the protagonist, a villain, or even a particularly important side character. You're a finger belonging to an overpowered mythical being whose body has been scattered across the world by terrified gods. Yeah, you read that right.

And somehow, the author manages to turn this absurd premise into a genuinely intriguing mystery.

The story follows the MC as he manipulates the hosts connected to the scattered body parts, using deception, careful planning, and the occasional display of overwhelming power to achieve his objectives. Each host has their own circumstances, motivations, and struggles, meaning that every arc introduces a new perspective rather than simply repeating the same formula. The MC might be the thread connecting everything, but the people he encounters have stories of their own.

Character development is arguably the novel's greatest strength. Even minor characters can undergo substantial and believable transformations, with their decisions shaped by the circumstances they face. The hosts aren't merely disposable vessels for the MC to exploit; they have their own lives, conflicts, and often tragic circumstances. Watching their stories unfold adds emotional weight to what could otherwise have been a straightforward collection quest.

The worldbuilding also deserves credit. The scattered body parts, the powers associated with them, and the gods who feared the original being provide an intriguing foundation for the overarching mystery. The MC's access to the full power of Visas(The character)comes with limitations and a considerable price, preventing his abilities from becoming a convenient solution to every problem. The result is a story that rewards readers who enjoy clever protagonists, supernatural mysteries, deception, and characters who aren't simply brainless pawns.

However, the novel isn't without its flaws. Pacing is its most divisive weakness. While some readers praise the worldbuilding and the way the different systems fit together, I feel that the setting, its gods, and the broader mythology deserve more exploration. The first few arcs appear to make the strongest impression, while the fourth arc has been criticised for feeling more conventional and less engaging. That said, I enjoyed the later material and I praise the ending for staying true to the story's central themes without dragging things out unnecessarily.

There's also the matter of expectations. Despite romance-related tags apparently attracting some readers, romance isn't a major selling point according to what I have read. If you're coming here for a conventional romantic subplot, you might be disappointed. Come for the mystery, the manipulation, the supernatural powers, and the character-driven arcs instead.

Final thoughts: Who Hid My Corpse?! is a creative and underrated novel with a wonderfully unusual premise, strong character development, and an overarching mystery that gives its individual arcs a reason to exist. Its pacing can be frustrating, and its execution doesn't always live up to the potential of its world, but its strengths make it worth considering.

My advice? Give the first few arcs a chance and see whether the writing clicks with you. If you enjoy stories where the protagonist must manipulate circumstances rather than simply overpower everyone, and where even seemingly minor characters can leave a lasting impression, this one deserves a place on your reading list.

After all, how many novels can promise you a protagonist who begins his journey as a literal finger of a god-killing entity?
