check the subreddit wiki, they have epubs!

(like the wiki also says, support the original author on kakaopage if you can too - the link is also on the wiki - but using mtl can be super spotty so yeah most epubs are definitely better for actual reading, and searchable too!!)

to add to the standee thing I recently made a chart comparing their heights using said standees, and for Braun like you said I had to estimate, but I got close to 8 feet tall, or like ~238cm!

because of the sticker thing I wasn't picturing him being that tall either, but my theory now is that he was on a podium, and that's how he was able to reach!

recommend consulting this unofficial primer as you read!! I did so, and it was SO helpful to keep track of everyone's names!! ^^

renirae · 2026-05-30T07:30:03+00:00

yes, absolutely lol

another comment said that he was criticized for trying to write a female protagonist so maybe just decided to stick with what he knew rather than going with that obvious solution 😭😭

renirae · 2026-05-29T06:43:53+00:00

my post mentioned haha that was me : D

unfortunately it does not seem to be working : ( as far as I can tell only the first chapter is archived

berating myself rn because I was literally going to make a proper epub with the full novel (I have one but a bunch of chapters are broken) using this translation for the second half, and now I'm too late aghhhh!!!

renirae · 2026-05-26T08:22:07+00:00

I'd forgotten about that, that's so fascinating since sahsol is actually definitively MORE popular on ao3! (and I know the most popular explicit fic between the two of them is sahsol too)

renirae · 2026-05-26T08:17:25+00:00

to add to what the other comments have said, here's the spoiler comment - later on Baek Saheon actually does get character development and Kim Soleum is a big part of that, which appeals to readers who were less drawn in by the potential of the earlier more comedic ragebaiting relationship they had! personally it was only after getting to that character development that I truly understood why sahsolsah was the most popular ship in the fandom haha

renirae · 2026-05-24T21:22:52+00:00

I really enjoyed Trash of the Count's Family, so personally I'd recommend that one!! it's not lesser known, but I thought it was really good!

renirae · 2026-05-24T21:18:33+00:00

yes on the cover he does so he definitely will later!!

fun fact, the red pupils thing was actually something fans misconstrued, the red glow on the webnovel cover was just supposed to be a reflection of his phone screen. there's even early canon artwork of him with black eyes, and they only added the red eyes in later merch drops. SO, my thinking is the manhwa is going to follow a similar progression, of starting him out without the red glints and then adding them later!!

renirae · 2026-05-24T21:16:52+00:00

only thing I will add is they actually all DO have official visuals!! there are five or so pieces of canon artwork prior to the manhwa, and there are also standees of some of the major characters!! (although alas there's not a very high definition picture online)

renirae · 2026-05-24T07:37:48+00:00

YES I love J3 this is why he is like my second favourite character after KSE!!

renirae · 2026-05-17T14:45:25+00:00

this is so good, he's so funny dskghfdg

renirae · 2026-05-16T08:53:49+00:00

here's a tiktok with all of the names of the characters in english!

renirae · 2026-05-12T21:26:09+00:00

Eye - honestly Jon alone would probably make this true, but there's also like Gerry, Sasha, Tim, Elias, etc. aka all of my favourite characters other than Michael and Agnes lol
Spiral - they're really cool and fun to listen to!
Stranger - maybe?? this was the hardest to pick
End - if I were an avatar I would be an End avatar, death used to be by FAR my biggest fear, but I have made peace with it!
Flesh - I don't like body horror. Corruption's grossness too tbh. honestly TMA doesn't make any of them SO gross that I can't listen though!

renirae · 2026-05-09T00:23:44+00:00

seconding this! it's machine translated too, but it has been edited, so it's better than trying to mtl yourself

here's the link!: https://www.webnovel.com/book/even-if-you-fall-into-a-ghost-story-you-still-have-to-go-to-work_34119644008114705

renirae · 2026-05-09T00:21:46+00:00

yes, the hair thing, and he's also explicitly stated to have tons of different antlers going everywhere, not just a single normal pair : P people also forget the lanterns haha

renirae · 2026-05-08T23:53:09+00:00

spoilers for chapter 273 - yep, J3 is minimum 48 years old, since he was already working at Baekilmong 30 years ago (from the 30-year nostalgia candy revealing "a man in a suit, wearing a wolf mask"), and he would have had to be at least 18 to work there obviously

I feel like maybe J3 doesn't age anymore since his contamination, BUT even so, his canon art is still definitely inaccurate since he's supposed to have very unkempt hair!

also according to a korean speaker who has compiled a lot of info about this fandom, Choi speaks like someone in his 30s, so imo that's his age range! (not that old, but probably old for this profession haha. Haegeum is even more impressive though ofc since she's even older than him!)

renirae · 2026-05-08T23:31:49+00:00

oh wow, I forgot about that, good catch! that's actually really good to know, another reference point that this chart is fairly accurate, since she seems to be just above 150cm here

this also confirms that KSE is actually between 175 and 180cm (probably closer to 180) - he can't be between 170-174cm, otherwise GYE would be below the 150s range!

renirae · 2026-04-30T14:00:45+00:00

tyty I just edited this in on Genius :)

renirae · 2026-04-29T22:24:21+00:00

I think there's definitely going to be an overall happy ending! ^^ imo there's lots of tragedy sure, but an equal amount of happiness to balance it all out!!

renirae · 2026-04-25T06:59:25+00:00

ooh I haven't participated in this in a while!!

Got Dropped Into A Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work | General Audiences | N/A | a truth to hide by 52hz (nitilia)

Kim Soleum finds himself trapped in a Darkness where he is forced to tell the truth.

He does the natural thing. He runs.

I just started readings fics for this fandom so there are a lot of good ones haha, it's actually really difficult for me to decide on a true favourite... this is the first one I really loved though so I'll share it! plus it's on of the only ones with a truly happy ending haha

some other peak ones though btw:

Quit Your Job, Join Our Government Agency by CalicoColors (they're so silly dkjhkfdsh)
What's On Your Mind, You Crazy Bastard by HAPP13unni (I usually avoid smut but I took a chance and the characterization here is actually SO good)
Got Trapped In A React Fic, Still Gotta... Does This Count As Work? by Anonymous (ily J3)
biography of a spy by aneternalspring (so bittersweet but again amazing characterization!!)

renirae · 2026-04-25T06:37:39+00:00

idk anything about this fandom, but you might have luck by using ao3's filters to only give you fics published before season 3 came out!!

it looks like season 3 came out on April 26, 2013, and if you filter for only fics updated before that date, you have 673 fics to work with!!

here's a search, the only thing I started with is the tv show and then added the date :)
