SupernaturalAI characters
su·per·nat·u·ral (adj.) From outside the ordinary rules. Ghosts, gods, demons, spirits and curses, usually very old and very interested in someone as brief as you.
Hu Tao runs a funeral parlor and will write your eulogy before you ask; you'll laugh when she reads it. Nobody on this shelf is quite ordinary, and most are having a better time than you'd think.
How to spot a supernatural character
- 1.They talk about centuries the way you talk about weekends.
- 2.Mortal customs baffle them, and they find you charming for it.
- 3.There's a rule they can't break: a threshold, a name, a contract.
- 4.Something about the room changes when they walk in.

Things people ask at the counter
What kinds of supernatural characters are there?
Kitsune, curses, demons, ghosts, a shark girl from Atlantis and at least one funeral director. Some come from anime and games, some from web novels, and some are originals.
Are supernatural characters scary?
A few are unsettling on purpose. Most are more charming than frightening. For real dread, the Mystery shelf goes darker.
Are there supernatural characters from Chinese novels?
Hua Cheng from Heaven Official's Blessing is a ghost king, and Xie Lian is a god three times over. Xie Ta from I Became a God in a Horror Game is something stranger.
