This Japanese Monogatari Isn't Lame

The book is as the title states, not 'lame'. I am noticing a trend of "horror"/supernatural novels being translated and it is refreshing to read some of them. The things I like about this novel: 1. The Mc is cool headed and not some degenerate happy pervert. He was apparently some medic student, the cn kind, before becoming a jap boy. Mc does seem robotic the first few chapters but he gets better. Now that I think about it, he reminds of the Mc from plague doctor but slightly inferior. 2. The setting or world seems to be interesting. It is set in supernatural Japan so no nationalism bs. Also all the other guys who mess with mc are jap betas so they learn their lesson quickly and don't keep constantly bothering mc. Then some other things I guess.... Things I didn't enjoy: 1. A girl called Mirai? who is just there for making more dialogues. She doesn't seem to serve any purpose and is annoying. The mc is of the silent type so she is probably there to expand dialogues only. 2. The mc does feel a bit too calm but I would take this any day rather than the dumb, pervert scum ones. Overall, this novel seems to be better than the other vrmmo bs and cringe bs with no plot so I would like this to be picked. P.S :Support this novel but first I want the I am the Mc, but why I do I suck at cultivation to be picked first.

I obviously haven't read all 60 chapters yet. However, from what I've read so far the novel is extremely interesting. It has a good setting with no crazy nationalism/racism (the MC acknowledges the customs of Japan and does not disrespect them). He is also very cool-headed, this however does make the MC seem somewhat robotic at first, but it gets better in a few chapters. Overall none of the characters (imo) are that annoying and seem to serve a purpose (for at least the short term). All in all the best part about this novel is the fact that it isn't a trash generic cultivation/videogame novel with no originality. While the topic has been done before (Sword Deity in Tokyo) this novel seems to have a better execution and a better progression system that seems like it will actually progress at a decent pace instead of stagnating. I personally like this novel so far and really hope that it will be picked instead of the countless generic novels in the trial read.

A reincarnated MC, who does not have the memories of the host, and as such in a refreshing twist is not bogged down by stereotypical revenge. A cold mC who is equal to all. There is some Japanese stereotypes but more making of it.
