Is there even a single character in this serie that is... normal?
I guess the author REALLY wants to portray the MC as a justified saviour XD

Thanks for the translation!

I guess he didn't have a choice but to put her in the body but someone with more self confidence would have been a much better option, the prince girl would be a good choice for the male porn star if they were going down the genderswap ghosts route but last chapter implied they can't, or at least won't do that.

I mean they are powerful enough to the point they can do anything they want with little to no consequences, actually feels pretty realistic

Prince girl the rapist belongs in a prison like the rest of the inner monster girls. "we will kill, rape, maim anyone if they stand in our way" good lord. are they training them into tyrants?

can't we have nice people in the manga? sigh. but it is what is good about this manga... they get the "Karma is a bitch" treatment sooner or later.

So far the only nice people are the ghosts

 

[G33kG0dT4und3r]

Wont lie, this chapter kind of felt unsatisfying, like there should be more.

 

[DementisXYZ]

This author is a master at worldbuilding. In one chapter, we've fully cemented that, in this world, if you're alive, you're a piece of shit. If you want to be a good person, you have to die.

 

[Substitution]

Do people not know the MCs power? It feels like people would not be careless about murder in a world where people could talk to ghosts. He's a born police detective

Not really.. the MC just wanted to not get killed by his sister..

In the world of Superpowers it bound to happen.. But I hope you are right they are deserved to have Karma later..

IDK but isn't that just because of the MC power "Hacking Ghost" that the ghost are nice to him.. It's already on the name..

Not lot of people knew.. Even Ririka is misunderstood his ability.. And people will not believe what can he do.. Because in this manga Male is "supposed" to be have shitty ability..

But yeah it's just discrimination and propaganda and not really true..

The realism is a bit wonky in this story though. If I'm not mistaken, the adults should have powers too but for some reason they're not doing anything to stop teenagers from turning into literal crime lords.

Like, the only thing they did with their authority is force them to attend an ability school. They don't do anything if the MC gets beaten half to death on campus or even bother to check on students who never show up like Ririka (who apparently never even attended, she only used this place to trick and enslave girls to get some ransom money from their families). Man, I wish the teachers actually tried to do their jobs.

Yea, author looks like he's going the "turn every female character into irredeemable monsters" route to justify MC stealing their bodies/lives and leaving them stuck as ghosts forever.

 

[Reina4444]

the laundry list of evil continues. this guy is going to have a host of ghosts haunting him for a lifetime, bastard sister included.
and they totally have it coming for torturing any innocent person they come across.

 

[Ahkatsura]

Wow look at that new rape victim

 

[Blackrobe]

most living females in this story is so insufferable

Maybe the fact that the old man claimed to be able to sense spirits as well is misleading, but I'd wager most adults do not have abilities. Abilities appeared in the year 2000, and only to newborns. Based on the first chapter, if we assume the year in the manga is the same as in real life, then nobody over the age of 25 has an ability.

Alternatively, the 1st chapter stated that only 1 in every 20 people has an ability...whether this means the year is much more advanced forward than 2025 or if there's really just that few people born with them, that places ability users into a very elite club. Note also that includes men, meaning maybe roughly 1 in 40 humans have an actually useful ability. With this in mind, even dedicated educational institutions might have teaching staff who are all ability users, but inferior to the top students.

Most teachers are probably either powerless, or not many can match the top students. Even if a few powerful ones exist, they are likely few in number and may need to engage in a bit of give and take with students to control them. This author has gone to some effort to world build, so I'm assuming no random details. In that case, it makes sense to reason that the top students (aka the ones with the most powerful abilities) are being promised future prestige and power. In exchange, they maintain the hierarchy that has been built into the school by keeping less powerful ability users under their heel.

We see this in practice right from the start. Problem students and other issues with abilities are dealt with by the student council, who are clearly full of monster ability users, and not by teachers. It's also the usual Japanese school policy IRL and trope in manga, but the author has made use of that rather than it being coincidental, given how he as constructed the character of Hiroto's sister as the student president and the virtually aristocratic hierarchy of the school.

Even putting that all aside, I honestly do not see any problem with how the female students are. Even if they had teachers over them, they're likely 1 in 40...the more powerful ones among them are even rarer. Maybe the teachers don't give a shit either, they're ability users too. It's easy for such a group to come to look down on others and assume the rules don't apply to them...or those like them.



On another note, Akemi seems getting flawless at acting as Nirasawa. I wonder if that will cause issues later. Betting they'll capture Prince by having Yamada/Ririka do it...nobody said it had to be Hiroto himself.

Prince is in for a rude awakening, lol. What's the deal with the chick who has a cheese grater for teeth? 😯

Thanks for the upload, Heat.

Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. I can't imagine how much worse the world is outside of school.
The writing really suffers from what you pointed out. Like the author knows what the MC does is wrong. So, he has the last girl also mention that she sends people to be gangraped. Every other line has to be about how increasingly evil they all are. No real character. It gets stale and we're only 14 chapters in.

It was previously stated that powers aren't told to the public directly, in fact no one but the gov and her family knows that the sister has 3 op abilities. Just so happens most girls don't mind showing off their powers.

Yeah, its very lazy and kinda disappointing. But it might have a reason for it. Like the powers actually corrupt the users or something.

IDK but isn't that just because of the MC power "Hacking Ghost" that the ghost are nice to him.. It's already on the name..

Yeah, very first chapter mentions that ghosts like him because of his ability. But it might also be because they're dead and can't interact with anything.

I'll take a stab now and bet that either the aunt is the actual baddie or that the MC had his memory messed with. Maybe both.

 

[koollast]

So we got the student council and some hot prince girl to deal with now, shit just can't go right for these people. Seems like the prince girl got some kind of sexual power or something, explains why people are eating out of her hand, might be difficult to deal with her and the student council who knows what their deal is yet other than just being jerks and evil

 

[Mangamoz]

Yeah thought so, author will just make the lesbian be an uber evil rapist to make the protag killing her seem justified.

Are we really reading the same stuff, justified saviour?
He literally is taking over people's bodies to save himself only. He isn't really saving the world nor saving some random victim of bullying.
Sure, the powerful girls have bullshit personalities, but from the coldness he has shown until now, I don't think he would be against taking someone with a powerful ability just because they are a little nice to him.

Still, some interesting abilities, and a girl that could be taken by a man's spirit. It would be funny seeing Prince girl being taken over by Legendary AV actor. LOL

The story said that around the 2000 people started being born with powers.
We are in 2025, so your adults are what we could call "post-teenagers". Plus, what says that these adults themselves don't fear someone stronger?

Even the step-sister with all her 3 super powers seems to still not want to be found out.
