ā€”ā€”

A pop-up event for some ā€˜modern fantasyā€™ media I loved so much that I even took a precious day off work to attend.

On that day, I ended up transmigrating as a character in that very fantasy world.

As none other than a newly hired employee at a famous large corporation!

A dream job with great benefits, an excellent salary, and even kind and competent bosses.

Iā€™m using the information I know about the world to rise through the ranks at lightning speed!

Am I happy, you ask?

Please, just let me go home. Iā€™m begging you.

ā€» Review:

Got Dropped into a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work! delivers an imaginative and thrilling narrative that seamlessly combines supernatural horror with the mundane grind of corporate life. Written by Baek Deok-soo, this novel explores the life of a protagonist who wakes up in a world thatā€™s both familiar and terrifyingā€”the modern fantasy setting of their favorite series. Now an entry-level employee at a major corporation, the protagonist must navigate office politics while solving spine-chilling ghostly mysteries.

The brilliance of this novel lies in its juxtaposition of two vastly different genres. On one hand, it captures the unnerving suspense of horror tales with unpredictable twists and eerie encounters. On the other, it humorously portrays the absurdity of corporate culture, where filing reports can feel as daunting as exorcising spirits. The protagonistā€™s clever use of their meta-knowledge of the fantasy world adds a layer of strategy and ingenuity to their journey, keeping readers hooked.

Baek Deok-sooā€™s writing shines in its ability to craft a tightly woven story that balances thrills, humor, and character growth. Fans of the authorā€™s previous work, If I Donā€™t Debut, Iā€™ll Die, will notice a darker, more suspenseful tone here, but the authorā€™s trademark sharp wit and compelling storytelling remain intact. The protagonistā€™s inner thoughts and their often comedic misinterpretations of their situation provide much-needed comic relief amidst the tension.

The novelā€™s popularity speaks for itself, with over 29 million views on KakaoPage as of November 2024. Readers have particularly praised its innovative premise, relatable protagonist, and the satisfying blend of horror and humor. The ghost story segments are atmospheric and gripping, while the workplace drama adds a layer of relatability that grounds the fantastical elements.

Recommendation:
This novel is a must-read for anyone who loves the combination of supernatural thrills and workplace shenanigans. Whether youā€™re a fan of modern fantasy, horror, or just looking for a fresh, entertaining story, Got Dropped into a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work! is a fantastic choice.
