A pop-up event for some ‘modern fantasy’ media I loved so much that I even took a precious day off work to attend.

On that day, I ended up transmigrating as a character in that very fantasy world.

As none other than a newly hired employee at a famous large corporation!

A dream job with great benefits, an excellent salary, and even kind and competent bosses.

I’m using the information I know about the world to rise through the ranks at lightning speed!

Am I happy, you ask?

Please, just let me go home. I’m begging you.

Absolutely Incredible.

This isn't your typical Isekai story. Kim appears into an SCP type of world where ghost stories are real and everyone is forced to deal with them whether or not they want to. He decides to work for one of the foremost companies that deals with these stories in hope of eventually receiving a "Wish potion" which can bring him back to his original world in Korea.

Kim, being a huge coward with a love of horror stories, worms his way into the company and quickly discovers that he's amazing at the job, due to his deep knowledge of the stories themselves.

While there hasn't been romance in what I've read so far, the story isn't lacking at all in emotional connection. Kim is a great human who causes others to drift towards him, including the very SCP entities that he's terrified of.

Braun is one such entity and arguably my favorite character in the entire series. I absolutely love how deeply the author writes the relationships in this story and can't help but get caught up in it. I have loved every bit of what I've read and only find it getting better as I go on despite how long the book is.

I would happily have this series on my bookshelf.

A bit of an indulgent review, due to the very different prose in the translation I got my hands on than regular books.
The ideas are derivative of the SCP universe, but are coherent and fresh enough to feel like their own thing, and the characters are interesting enough that it keeps things fresh.
as a note I did not read it completely, but it has been consistent enough that I felt comfortable reviewing it.

Love this , tho is there any Recc like this but like series of book. I really want something with overwork employee? I already listen to magnus archive. And I don't think he is ever going home they never do. And hope my stock doesn't crush even tho it already did once.

Not even surprised by how much I loved this book. I think Soleum deserves a vacation and some well-needed therapy. Long-ass book but somehow I still want more. I was genuinely scared for him many times during this book like it got very dark
