Synopsis
Xuan Yi is a film director who solves production crises by recruiting actual supernatural entities. Whether he needs a haunting ghost for a horror film or a fox demon to replace an injured actress, he simply captures the necessary creature and drags them onto his set. This novel reads like a supernatural workplace comedy, leaning heavily into the overpowered protagonist trope within a modern urban setting. It is ideal for readers who enjoy lighthearted BL narratives and absurd humor, while those seeking a serious industry drama or a slow-burn romance should skip it. The pacing is fast and punchy, driven by a series of comedic vignettes that highlight the chaos of his filming process. Its standout quality is the irreverent way it treats legendary monsters as stressed-out film crew members and special effects consultants.

Editorial Review
The novel offers a refreshing and imaginative premise, blending the mundane pressures of movie production with occult absurdity. Its greatest strength lies in its conceptual humor, turning the casting process into a literal hunt for monsters. Because the story is completed at a concise 62 chapters, it provides a satisfying, low-commitment reading experience without unnecessary filler. However, the brevity is also its primary weakness; the short length suggests a lack of deep character growth and a plot that may rely more on episodic gags than a cohesive narrative arc. While the BL tag is present, the focus remains heavily on the comedic chaos of the set, which might leave readers looking for a central romance feeling underwhelmed. Overall, it is a charming, niche piece of fiction that prioritizes laughs over emotional weight.
