My Thoughts on I Can See the Correct Rules of Ghost Talks

This web novel, "I Can See the Correct Rules of Ghost Talks," presents an intriguing premise: a clever protagonist navigating dangerous horror scenarios by deciphering and adhering to specific rules. As someone who enjoys a good mystery with a supernatural twist, I was initially drawn to this story, and while it has its strengths, it also has a few aspects that gave me pause.

First Impressions

The initial hook is strong. The idea of "ghost talks" as a subgenre of infinite flow horror is unique and immediately grabbed my attention. The concept of a protagonist who isn't necessarily overpowered but relies on her intellect and reasoning skills to survive is refreshing. Su Rong, the MC, seems like a character I could root for – capable, cool, and not afraid to analyze her surroundings.

What Works Well

I appreciated the focus on mystery-solving and world-building. The blend of horror and puzzle elements is well-executed, creating suspenseful scenarios that keep you guessing. The setting itself feels thoughtfully constructed, with the rules playing a significant role in shaping the world and how characters interact with it. The fact that the government is aware of the fake rules and allows them to remain, adds a layer of complexity to the narrative. I also found the dynamic between the MC and the male lead to be agreeable, as it doesn't overshadow the main plot.

Areas of Concern

Unfortunately, I did have some reservations about the story's portrayal of certain nationalities. While some readers might find these elements tolerable, others might find them off-putting. I'm not a fan of narratives that lean too heavily on nationalistic sentiments or depict characters from other countries in a negative light. This aspect of the story made it harder for me to fully immerse myself in the world and connect with the characters.

Final Verdict

Overall, "I Can See the Correct Rules of Ghost Talks" is a mixed bag. It has an engaging premise, a clever protagonist, and interesting world-building. However, some readers may be put off by the nationalistic elements present in the story. If you're a fan of horror mysteries with a focus on problem-solving and can overlook its flaws, it might be worth checking out. But be aware of the potential for some uncomfortable and potentially offensive content.
