Review Detail of Delorra in Midnight Bookstore

First of all, please fix the lump of text meshed together in some chapters that make the story really hard to read. Other than this formatting issue, the translation is top quality. FYI, don't get scared away by the formatting mess in the first chapter. I actually almost dropped the novel because of that. Persist and you'll be rewarded. I have been looking for a horror novel with good story telling, like My House of Horrors and Dreadful Radio Game. (Plague Doctor is just too confusing for me.) Midnight Bookstore definitely fits the bills. It's made up of many exceptionally good ghost stories. Pros: - A smart MC - A funny side kick friend - An interesting walking female corpse - A creepy Envoy of Hell kid - No homophobic undertone - So many curve balls and plot twists that you don't see coming (it really makes you doubt every character that appears) - Many of the ghost tales are in the gray area (there's no black and white, it's hard to tell who's right or wrong) Cons: - Will this novel ever get picked up from the trial read?! - How long do I have to wait?! - And oh yeah, please fix the formatting issue. Other thoughts: - MC's store is not a Midnight bookstore, more like a late night bookstore since it doesn't only open at midnight (in fact, it even opens during daytime) - MC is always thinking about sleeping with his wife (but not in a perverted way-ish?). But thanks to his side kick friend though, now he has a psychological issue he got to overcome before he can do that 🤣🤣🤣 - The bone-chilling terrifying element isn't that prominent here. But that is offset by good-story telling. So, not a con per se. Overall: Definitely worth my time.

Really? I read this on the webnovel website on my tablet browser. I guess it's just my browser's issue. No wonder I didn't see anyone else talking about this. I don't like using the app on my tablet since I can't rotate the orientation to landscape. Anyway, here are the list of chapters with formatting issues on my end: 1, 4, 6, 8, 11, 38, 39, 58, 59. If you can fix them, that'll be awesome. Thank you.
