The continuation of works with over 70 pages in the first chapter having a strong start!

For this one in particular, it's heavy, with normalcy. Nothing particularly happened yet the underlying issues, tones, and meanings already seem to be present and contains a lot of potential and paths to explore...

It’s good. Obviously. But from experience this kind of story will not have a satisfying conclusion. Abstract nonsense ending, axed, dropped by translator. That sort of thing. I hope that doesn’t happen to this one.

I really hope author is going somewhere with this.
Maybe MC is the real spook, because he's the only one who isn't a spook in this Spooktown city, ran by esoteric Politburo.

So, the human gets obliterated by alien or supernatural phenomena and turned into delivery service? I bet that dog is the boy's father.

That announcement reminds me of Frostpunk. "It's 8 am! Time to work! Earn your place!"

i love the world-building in this and how we're just thrown into the world, only to learn that all of these horrors are actually relatively normal

I managed to find the text you can read between the panels on page 6, the "Room No. 001".
It's a short story by Anton Chekhov, called "Ward No. 6".
You can find it and read it for free on the internet

This is a really fascinating-looking setting. I’m interested in more, but this first chapter also works quite well as a oneshot.
