Chapter 1.1: So MC got into a media called 'Dark Exploration Records' enough to buy merch for it, did a roulette at the store and landed on the tiniest sliver on the wheel. I think it must be like Call of Cthulhu, an RPG popular in Japan where people have made their own characters and stories set in it.

But come on, this thing had a 15+ age recommendation slapped on the wiki!’

Why are there so many kids here?

Quote of the century right there! A media will be for adults but you'll see kids in fandom yelling about how adults interact with it.

Chapter 1.2:

And the Field Exploration Team…
‘It’s the department that’s no different to a suicide squad.’
Like the red-shirt crew members in a certain sci-fi drama. They rush in at the slightest excuse to ‘explore paranormal phenomena’ and get chewed up in the process.

Star Trek reference. 😂 Not good foreshadowing!

Chapter 1.3: Okay so he was transported into the world of Dark Exploration Records as a new employee of the Dreamcorp Inc company but the newbies have to pass a test first, which is making it through one of the ghost stories. This one takes place on a subway where you have to get off at the right station to survive.

Apparently Soleum's name is the onomatopoeia for goosebumps? He likes text-based horror but can't handle visual-based like movies or images.

Chapter 2.1: The prize got from the roulette was a tool that allowed him to read the wiki on his phone. He realizes he needs to convince people to get off at the right stop with him because he's too scared to go alone. The man sitting next to him at the Daydream Inc company introduces himself as Baek Saheon.

Chapter 2.2: Baek Saheon is a named character from the story who later becomes Section Chief and does a lot of explorations.

Chapter 2.3: The option comes up for one person to safely disembark.

Chapter 3: I literally said holy shit out loud, Baek Saheon's future nickname Viper comes in to play, he really struck like a snake when he thought the moment was right. I love Soleum holding out the real lost item to the window for Baek Saheon to see. 👌 I wonder if we'll see Saheon again the future...minus one eye.

Chapter 4: ‘Dear fuck almighty. Save me.’ 🤣 I like that Soleum isn't some fearless leader. 7/10 people escaped, not bad! But who'd want to stay employed there after that lmao.

Chapter 5.1: Daaamn they just straight up melted a bunch of people who survived for not contributing more. Only 4 of 7 from Soleum's group left... They have to listen to the 'employee benefits' before they can safely resign. The main benefit is a potion called 'Wish Ticket' which can grant any wish. This is why a lot of people still stay in the company instead of leaving. But I'm sure they don't just get the potion for joining, they probably have to fill some quota...

Chapter 5.2: How does Soleum know he won't just wake up back at home if he quits?? He doesn't even have a home in this world. And why is he seemingly the only human to have been transported to this world, surely there were other participating merch stores where someone won...though I guess the chances were that slim.

Of course I had to stop at a bit of a cliffhanger. I'm enjoying this so far and am curious to see where it will go.

CW: People dying in horrible ways, not too explicit descriptively imo.

Part 1) So the twins Black and White share each others pain and that made the mom...split them up?? I guess they already knew or hoped that the connection would break with distance.

Ooo Russian! White went to Russia, Black went somewhere with the mom. It's too bad White had to break up with his girlfriend before going back to Thailand but...LDRs. The song playing while White reminisced about their childhood was pretty.

So I guess Black is in Thailand now or close enough for their connection to work...

Is it just me or do Thai BLs give away too much in their OP/credits/etc scenes?

Part 2) So Todd stayed with Black as friends.

Okay that closensess was too fast even for childhood friends, Todd barely even looked at White and then they started dressing each other in scrubs;; They hadn't seen each other in ten years, right??

Man, the audacity of his dad telling him to forget about Black in episode 1. They're twins, they share a connection and they protected and raised each other up. White got his ears pierced and tattoos and he had to give up the job opportunity. Maybe he should've beefed up a bit too.

Part 3) So Black's friend Gram wasn't directly involved with the beating at least. Lol White should've just gone along with the girl and said he was messing with Gram. And he got caught wearing perfume and styling his hair even though he had Todd and pictures to help him;; He could've at least looked into what Black was studying.

Part 4) White sucks at hiding his lack of knowledge. *smh* Even if you don't know something at least act confidently when you make an excuse.

Hmm no one acted suspiciously when they saw "Black" alive and whole, though they thought he was acting strange and Gram checked his arm tattoo.

So Black's group is after Tawi, a politician, and they're on the way to burn his house down...

I guess Todd's not gonna play much of a role?

The actor who plays White is a cutie, he looks so innocent it's no wonder others are wondering what's up with him. 😂
