This isn't technically a one star read but I'm just so disappointed with the author. Now at first, the story being an absolute mess and making no sense wouldn't matter. This is because the story might just seem like a smexy, for sex only type of bl. However, there's like actual intriguing plots and backstory. For example, why the string got cut and then tied. Why top/blong guy is so desperate to see ghosts and why are main character even wants to act again etc. the author however just goofs everything, are poor baby boy main character dumb as hell. Not cute dumb, not silly dumb, not even annoying dumb but author writing character to do dumb things for no reason. Just because the blonde guy/top wanted to go to the hotel does not mean he had to go to the hotel. No the reason for the hotel isn't just so they can smash because it happened so early on and there will be even easier dumber chances for them to smash anyways. Especially after the MC has leverage over blonde guy/top, that blonde guy wants to see ghosts. He magically doesn't realize that he has leverage, and try to just straight up talk to the guy. Now even if top were to tell MC everything, I'd like to point out the story could still go on. Because MC already sees blonde guys trash, and despite that he needs him so that MC can act. They would still have to meet and smash anyways. I'm just frustrated because this can still be smexy b******* and have an actual story but the author just said "why do that?". And this is just my personal opinion but I feel like those first 15 chapters could have been like 10/20 . We had events that would usually be arcs happened so fast and have no effect on the story whatsoever. I feel like we could have had their interactions be more mysterious and have their chemistry build, cuz no offense there is no chemistry in chapter 6, because it was chapter 6 in the author is maybe new at this who knows?
Sorry for writing a paragraph I just feel like this is such a waste of a solid idea for a BL. I know that apparently blonde guy/top is the worst after looking at comments but still.

    OMG, I agree! Some people might think and say that it's just not our cup of tea or if we don't like it then don't read it, well I guess that might be true tho...

    Honestly, I love the art and the horror/supernatural plot, but I think the author could make a better character development and chemistry.

    At first I thought the MC was pretty cool, but suddenly he turns into a dumbass when he's with the blonde guy, their chemistry isn't built well so the smut scene doesn't feel heart-pounding to me.

    It's not the worst story for me, but I think it has the potential and could be much better if it's not so rushed and make the characters act more logical.

    Yes, I think so too. But I guess I'll keep reading it because the art is beautiful.

    I completely agree I feel like this art and storyline has been wasted. They’ve built up the mc to be such a complex character but he just acts dumb when he’s with the blonde guy and never fully gets his plot-progressing questions answered. If the author wanted the story to revolve around smut they should’ve done that. Instead it feels like they’re trying to make such a mysterious plot but literally don’t progress it at all. Tbh it feels like the story has regressed to just smut. Unfortunate because it had a lot of potential and the mc had a lot of potential to be a great character but he’s been devolved to being stereotypical dumb bottom that can’t get enough of the good-looking top which is seen in literally every other bl story.

    Yeah, it seems like the plot is half baked like this, what a waste...
