## Chapter
- number: 88
- release_date: 2025-03-02

### Summary
This chapter delivers a jarring but effective blend of intense horror and absurd slapstick comedy. Readers were profoundly unsettled by a sudden and terrifying "jumpscare" featuring a grotesque, hanging ghost, with many commenting that it was one of the scariest moments in the series and left them unable to sleep. This genuine fright is sharply contrasted with the chapter's main comedic gag: the continued, hilarious mistreatment of the new elderly character, "Gramps." The humor stems from protagonist Yoon-jae comically "bullying" the small deity, treating him like an inanimate object or a "pokemon" to be literally thrown at supernatural threats. This dynamic of "boomer spirit abuse" was a major highlight for readers, who found the situation hysterical. Amidst the chaos, the central relationship is reinforced, as readers praised Yoon-jae's courage in trying to protect Beom-jin despite his own lack of powers. The chapter is largely seen as a successful, if tonally chaotic, "palate cleanser" after the previous heavy arcs, though its "monster of the week" format has led some to speculate that it may be a filler arc.
