Description
That day after the depressed-looking Cen Jin had dropped out of his school, he noticed a little enrollment ad put on a streetlight post outside the school entrance. When he saw that the third-rate technical school advertised in the paper didn’t need an admission exam, he enrolled. Cen Jin, who only wanted a miscellaneous diploma, found out that the usual lesson of this technical school was: teaching them how to slay a god! There were three codes for new students to adhere: -Do not trust all the Gods. -If you encountered the mysterious (Grim Reaper) and failed to seek help, then adopt these actions: Negotiate, pounce, dominate, and kill. Do not stop until you’re on your last breath. -Please use up all your strength to convey your feelings, and pray for the gods’ favor. Cen Jin had no option but to address the gods and deliver a totally committed, passionate confession in order to survive, despite his embarrassment. Until the first Freshmen’s Skill Competition Conference, at the critical moment of life and death, he confessed before the public, attracting the pity of 100,000 gods. Only then did he come to know that what he had drawn was a satirical version of the freshmen codes, and the object of his confession was superior to all the 100,000 gods. Students and instructors all around the world had simultaneously witnessed the chaotic uproar of the Freshmen’s Skill Competition Conference – that tumultuous day, 100,000 gods were inspired to come and, uniformly, cheered to the inconspicuous gloomy yellow-haired in the center of the crowd: Wife teetee!! You wouldn’t be able to see that sort of scenario unless you leave Earth.

The Grim Reaper Can’t Be Tricked Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator
My Thoughts on The Grim Reaper Can’t Be Tricked
"The Grim Reaper Can’t Be Tricked" is definitely a unique read, throwing together elements you wouldn't normally see paired. Academy life, gods, gore, and Chinese mythology all swirl together in what is, at times, a captivating blend. It's a wild ride, and while it might not be for everyone, it certainly left an impression on me.
First Impressions
The initial hook is strong. I found myself immediately intrigued by the premise of a seemingly mediocre MC who's actually quite brilliant, desperately trying to maintain a low profile. The contrast between his capabilities and his desire to be a "salted fish" is compelling and relatable on some level. Plus, the hints of Lovecraftian horror definitely piqued my interest.
What Works Well
The world-building is a standout. The novel dives deep into its unique take on gods and the supernatural. The MC is a fascinating character. His moral compass, combined with his questionable actions and nonchalant attitude towards the gruesome, creates a truly unpredictable protagonist. I appreciate how the author crafts this morally gray character, making him both likable and a little unnerving. The author's ability to combine genres is commendable.
Areas of Concern
The plot can feel a bit disjointed. The pacing sometimes falters, and certain arcs feel less engaging than others. I can see how some readers might lose interest if the focus shifts too far away from the core characters and their immediate surroundings. Also, the Chinese nationalism and xenophobia are a concern and can be off-putting.

Final Verdict
Despite its flaws, "The Grim Reaper Can’t Be Tricked" has a lot to offer. It's a creative and imaginative story with a compelling MC and a unique blend of genres. However, be prepared for some tonal inconsistencies and potential pacing issues. If you're a fan of dark humor, supernatural mysteries, and morally ambiguous characters, this novel might be worth checking out. Just be aware that it requires a certain tolerance for gore and a willingness to embrace its unconventional narrative.
