Haha... This is hilarious in some ways, and pretty fast paced. I feel it's Chinese mythology fantasy and comedy or something around that.
There are 12 7min or so episodes, which follow a girl, the new king of the underworld, even though she is terrified of ghosts, and her struggles as she faces situations and also tries to overcome her fears.

Also, can't forget the occasional fourth wall breaks.

The story, well, I wasn't expecting much story, besides her doing her things, and the other characters doing their things. There is a small overarching plot however.

Art: I'm not great at reviewing art, but i thought it was fine.

Sound: ... The voice acting was great, the opening song and ending song were funny and a little catchy, and I wasn't sure if I could hear any background music. The sound effects were cool, I think.

Character: The characters are mostly based on Chinese mythology, I think? There was a character reminiscent of Sun Wukong, the super famous monkey from Journey to the West. I think. Other characters all had some sort of mythological aspect, and then there were the completely ordinary people, who were at the school in a few of the episodes. They are all entertaining in their own way, even the villain(s).

Enjoyment: I wasn't expecting too much out of this series, but it was very enjoyable and I would probably show it or recommend to some others. There were comedic moments and jokes, such as "you look like you've seen a ghost," with someone who is technically a ghost standing nearby, or other similar moments.

Overall: Not bad, I've seen worse, and if this was made for comedic purposes, it has done its job. If it was made for some sort of nice fleshed out story with deep characters and lots of psychological, then no, it failed. I think it was pretty good and worth spending about one and a half hours on.

This is adapted from a manhua and because they only have 7-8 min per episode, it rushes the story way too much. If they had more time, they might've been able to flesh out the story and characters more. Overall, it's not a bad watch and it doesn't take too long to finish it. Mainly comedy but if you're into Chinese Mythology, that's a plus too. You see a lot of powerful deities and figures from Chinese Mythology and see how they are turned into more human versions. Kinda like Percy Jackson where they Gods are often a more modern, down to earth version of ... themselves. To put it simply, this is a great story but just needed more time to flesh out everything in order to capture it all in animation.

As a myth enjoyer, it's great to see some of the lesser-known mythological dieties and spirits internationally being fleshed out in a fun and fresh way. do hope they could world build through the material. It would be a waste if this would stuck as a comedic slapstick.

Overall: Great

Characters: Unique selection choice, it creates a new fresh understanding for Western viewers about the plethora of Eastern mythological lore. Might peak interest of viewers, on who they were in actual myths.

Setting: Modern, somehow relatable.

Pacing: Rushed. could need some more world building for viewers to be more receptive and emotionally engage with the characters.
