Description
Laura was facing financial difficulties due to her stingy parents and four younger siblings. Her worries intensified when a typhoon blew away the roof of their old mansion. However, her luck seemed to turn when she learned that the duke’s mansion was hiring. The duke, the owner of the mansion, was a well-dressed man who seemed to have obsessive-compulsive tendencies. He was also quite handsome, but the dark circles under his eyes conveyed the impression that he was fatigued… Huh? Excuse me… There seems to be a ghost behind you! The Covozhalden Mansion was known to be haunted, but the job offer was too good to pass up. Despite her fear, Laura decided to take the job and improve her livelihood. So she began working there, running around every night to help the various ghosts that she encounters cross over to the afterlife, such as the little girl running down the hallways, the painting that keeps tilting, and more. She is the only one who can see the ghosts along with the duke, who works just as hard to help them cross over. * I blinked my eyes several times. I even leaned my head forward, trying to get a better look. However, the girl remained in my sight and didn’t disappear. After a brief moment of hesitation, I carefully extended my hand above her head and slowly brought it down. It was supposed to be a gesture to pat her head, but I couldn’t touch it. My hand went straight through her head. “Sister, that’s my cerebral cortex there, you know?”

My Thoughts on I Got A Job At A Haunted Mansion
"I Got A Job At A Haunted Mansion" promised a delightful blend of comedy, romance, and the supernatural, wrapped in a European-esque aristocratic setting. And while it delivers on some fronts, I found myself with mixed feelings after diving in.
First Impressions
The premise is undeniably charming: a poor, hardworking protagonist finds herself employed in a haunted mansion filled with wealthy characters, a handsome duke, and ghostly residents. The blend of genres immediately piqued my interest. The initial chapters set the stage well, introducing the MC's dire circumstances and the quirky world she's about to enter.
What Works Well
The atmosphere is a strong point. I enjoyed the descriptions of the mansion and the interactions with the various ghosts. The comedic elements are sprinkled nicely throughout, providing levity amidst the spooky setting. The translation is also well-done, which allowed me to easily immerse myself in the story. There's a clear potential for a lighthearted and entertaining read here, and the hints of romance definitely add to the appeal.
Areas of Concern
However, I did find some issues with the protagonist's actions. Her seeming lack of concern for her siblings after securing a job felt jarring and inconsistent with her initial portrayal as a responsible caregiver. I also found myself wanting a bit more depth and proactivity from her, especially when dealing with the supernatural mysteries of the mansion. It would be nice to see her take a more active role in investigating the ghostly occurrences, rather than simply reacting to them.

Final Verdict
Overall, "I Got A Job At A Haunted Mansion" has potential. The setting, humor, and romantic undertones are appealing. However, I believe the story could benefit from a more consistent and proactive protagonist, as well as a deeper exploration of the mysteries surrounding the haunted mansion. I'm willing to continue reading, but I'm hoping to see some character development and more compelling plot threads emerge in the future.
