Description
It seemed as if Lin Banxia was being targeted by something strange. He was alone, but the home was full of strange noises; banging closets with nothing in them, dripping taps with no water, and strange chewing noises outside the window. Until one night… He woke up suddenly, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a skeleton as white as snow lying on the ceiling of his house. It turned its head, grinning at him with a brilliant smile.

My Thoughts on Phantom Skeleton Painting
"Phantom Skeleton Painting" is a wild ride, blending comedy, horror, romance, and supernatural elements into a surprisingly cohesive narrative. I initially dove in expecting a spooky story, and while it delivers on the horror front, it's the humor and heartwarming relationships that really grabbed me.
First Impressions
The premise is immediately intriguing: a corpse collector buys a haunted house and gets entangled with his mysterious neighbor. The initial chapters are a great mix of unsettling events and comedic interactions. I found myself quickly invested in the main character, Lin Banxia, and his strange new life.
What Works Well
The dynamic between Lin Banxia and his neighbor (the ML) is fantastic. The romance is a slow burn, evolving naturally from friendship to something deeper. Many readers praised the side characters, and I have to agree – they're well-developed and add depth to the story. The supernatural mysteries are genuinely exciting, and the cases the MC and ML investigate are both scary and intriguing. I particularly enjoyed the "secret org"-ish vibe and the unique way the author blends horror with humor.
Areas of Concern
While I overall enjoyed the story, I can see why some readers might feel unsatisfied with the ending. It felt a bit rushed, and the last arc didn't quite land as well as the earlier parts of the story. Some found the plot and world-building to be lacking in detail, and I agree that certain aspects of the organization combating mental pollution could have been fleshed out more. The power progression also felt a bit uneven, and the MC's sudden power-up towards the end felt somewhat unearned.

Final Verdict
Despite its flaws, "Phantom Skeleton Painting" is a hidden gem that I'd recommend, especially if you enjoy a blend of genres and don't mind a slightly uneven plot. The characters are engaging, the mysteries are intriguing, and the romance is sweet (with a bit of spice thrown in later on). I give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars. Just be prepared for a wild ride with some potentially triggering content.
