Read the full take

Horror Story Club puts its protagonist in a cruel loop. On his first day at Nakseong High, Lee Jun ignores an ominous warning and is killed, sent back, and killed again three years later. Forced to restart high school, he must lead a new horror story club and rewrite the school's urban legend. The premise is tense and clever, and the loop gives every choice a sense of consequence.The series is at its strongest when it treats its legends as puzzles. Each story has its own rules, and the club setting gives the cast a reason to investigate together. The shifting threats keep the tension high.The drawbacks are that the death-game beats can grow repetitive and the horror can be sharp in places. Readers who enjoy time-loop horror with a school twist will find plenty to grip them. Those wanting lighter fare should look elsewhere, though the mysteries are well built.
