I think the story is good so far but since it has such a slow start building up the world, the character, his family and life at school it's hard to give it a go ahead so soon since release. Looks good through chapter 15 so far though. The story has a slow start, it picks up around chapter 12 and 13 where a bit of action starts. The story begins with the MC having strange nightmares daily and goes from there. I kind of thought it would turn into House of Horrors but it ends up being a bit more like a students horror anime. The translation quality is great, nothing translation wise took me out of the immersion so yeah good job. I'll give it a 4 for updates, it released with the standard 15 chapters. Not good or bad so yup. As for how the story is going so far, well the story is really slow at least in the beginning. You learn about the MCs recurring nightmares, his personality is a bit warped from having his past life memories from the original earth. Family issues and financial problems it's actually a really well thought out world he's in. As for the main character himself, he has a fleshed out and well made background. His character is a little bit too passive, almost like he doesn't have much of a personality but I think most teens are a bit like that. Unfortunately the MC supposedly has his past life memories from earth so his undeveloped personality is a bit of a plot hole in my opinion. The world itself is very well developed, it's basically the earth in the 80s or 90s. I can only tell the worlds age by the fact people are buying cassettes and CDs also exist. The internet exists and is in lower tier Chinese high school facilities but is slow. As for the world he travels to in his nightmares, it's still to early to tell but he seems to be affected by what happens there. He dies in his dream and suffered for two days in reality. Overall the story up to around chapter 12 is just building up the world and characters, the MCs family situation and his friendship at school and the world of nightmares.

Yeah a majority of teens don't actually think about much.

I always wish that authors would stop using the "hit by a truck and suddenly reincarnated" trope, and instead come up with a more cohesive and logical integration for their transition from previous to current life. The author really isn't able to portray the 30-year-old mentality well, and it just seems inappropriate with the MC's whole situation.
