Seoul Object Story

It's an SCP-like story that follows a protag who dies and gets reincarnated as an anomaly. It's really good so you should just go read it right now. Fights are written well, and cool enemies.

It's a fun story and the mc is like a kitten- eternally curious/playful. The overall world building is a little off, probably because of cultural differences. What I mean is, the world, institutions, bureaucracy, and interpersonal relationships will seem absolutely normal to korean people but will seem extremely binding and dictatorial to any non-korean reader. It's how the culture of SK is. That corporate and goverment hierarchy is quite prevelant in the novel but the characters are quite carefree and the individual arcs are intriguing with the reader never getting bored. Plus the abilities and effects of the 'objects' are very imaginative and wide ranging which makes it a refreshing read with no repetition. 

I like scp stories with powerful scps with thought-out abilities. This novel has all that and I am happy. I read this on another site but decided to put a review here to bump it up. The MC isn't some Shonen protag but kinda just chills as antagonists and plot points come to them. Is this bad? No, it fits the story. The side characters aren't cardboard cutouts, there are many interesting and menacing anomalies. The mcs ability is to see the shortest fastest and most efficient way to destroy the target. This makes the fights good because many of the strong anomalies have strange or vague killing conditions, for example, one could be immortal until you make them laugh.

I've read this on another site and here's what I have to say about it.

The MC is pretty passive. They don't really go out to find the plot; the plot finds them. They also aren't overly op with some objects being able to contend with them. The side characters are fun. The power system is law-based which is a good reason why weapons don't work on some of the objects for example a law trait the MC and a few objects have is "can't be damaged by physical means. Of course, if one object with a law power uses it on another with the same power they cancel out so they're not unkillable. Overall I quite like this novel.

Absolute PEAK!!! i haven't read other scp like novels so i don't know if this story is the only good one. Honestly this story is very cute and is an amazing read.

Do you like SCP (or Project Moon games)? Do you like cute entity MC being cute and everybody loving MC because they are cute (and they totally don't [SPOILER]). Do you like reading how some people are desperately running away from some horrible monsters the very next paragraph? Of course only so cute MC can cutely save the day of course. I swear this is a wholesome novel, cases of [violent imagery expunged] happen only very rarely. Experience a Korea ruled by Objects, with Seoul being one of the last human cities, see the follies and delusions of humanity, witness our cute and powerful MC take on dreadful entities to save those they care about (or for fun), unravel the mystery behind a doomed world and the origin of the objects, take bets on how many civilian casulties our next adventure will reap, and of course try not to overdose on sweetness while reading about the cute interctions between the humans and MC Grey Reaper and [SPOILER]. I'm off now, I've heard Grey Reaper likes pudding, so I've invested all my life savings into pudding to give it to them.

Additional notes found in a deserted house: Korean is notoriously difficult to translate, so some sentences feel a bit off or sometimes gender switches around. It's best to see for your yourself. For best reading experience, I'd recommend taking your time instead of binging several chapters at once.

This novel is quite strange in how the main character and the little crew of researchers they live with are super chill and not serious, while everyone else is struggling to survive. Given the researchers likely act that way due to the mental contamination of the Grey Reaper (mc).

Anyway, 5/5; some of the fight scenes are epic, and some are less intense, requiring a little thought to find the kill condition.

Seoul Object Story is like a whimsical SCP entry crossed with an anime about eldritch beings and snack-loving mascots. It’s strange, oddly sweet, and emotionally resonant at times—but you’ll enjoy it most if you vibe with the MC and aren’t expecting fast-paced action or a masterclass in storytelling.

Read this on another site and decided to give it a review. It's fun, all the antagonists are interesting, have fun plots, and nice drawings of the scenes (they aren't on this site but look really good). The Author has already completed this novel and is writing another called "Seoul Cyberpunk Story"

Scp story? Check. Slightly overpowered protagonist who slower grows stronger? Check. reasonable sidecharacters? check. This fits all the boxes for me.
