Spirit Boss
Dear readers of Spirit Boss,
This is Mukyuu and Mikyuu, the translator and editor of Spirit Boss. Some of you may have come to Spirit Boss because you enjoyed its prequel, Spirit Hotel, and some of you may be here because you want to know how a devil and a human fall in love.
After reading some of the early chapters, you may have started to realize that Baal is… Not A Nice Guy. At all. He’s physically and emotionally a jackass towards everyone, but especially towards Wang Xiaoming (well, probably because he’s stuck with Wang Xiaoming 24/7, so he has more opportunities to be a jackass towards Wang Xiaoming).
If you are here for a cute and fluffy romance between a fallen angel and a human, we regret to inform you that Spirit Boss is probably not it. At least, not for quite a while. In fact, throughout the story you’ll find examples of Baal emotionally and physically manipulating and blackmailing Wang Xiaoming. There are even instances of dubcon or noncon, depending on your definition. Baal may be a fallen angel, but we don’t believe that excuses his behavior.
We don’t condone any of the actions that Baal does to anyone. We don’t think that what Baal is doing to Wang Xiaoming is right or an example of a healthy, consensual relationship. We don’t believe that anyone deserves the treatment that Wang Xiaoming is getting.
We are reading as we are translating, so neither of us knows when, or even if, the relationship gets better. We undertook this translation on the strengths of Spirit Hotel but clearly, this novel is a deviation from the overall tone of Spirit Hotel.
We are committed to finishing this story, but we would like readers to be aware that the content is not a fluffy romance or a fun romp, despite what the tone of the synopsis may suggest.
Sincerely,
M*kyuu
As the boss of a ghost-catching company, Su Ling couldn’t help but feel exhausted. Not only did he have to deal with capturing ghosts, exorcising evil spirits, and reading feng shui, but he also had to constantly look out for and protect his newbie employees!
A typical day at the company:
Su Ling: “Come here, this ghost is a bit powerful.”
And so, the employees all hid behind Su Ling.
Su Ling: “This ghost can manipulate minds, cover your ears.”
And so, the employees obediently covered their ears.
However, one day, the employees let their guard down and something unexpected happened—they were all actually big shots from the underworld:
The underworld judge is his recordkeeper, the Black and White Impermanence are the receptionists, Meng Po is an administrative assistant, and the Ghost King is his driver!
Su Ling: … trembling in fear.
Ghost King: “Don’t be afraid, I’ve got your back.”
Su Ling: You go away! You’re the one I fear the most!
The Ghost King waved his hand and extinguished countless ghosts, turning back: “Hmm? What did you just say?”
Su Ling: No no no, I didn’t mean you! QAQ…
