School Tales the Series Episode 1

SPOILER ALERT! [7/10]

This episode has a confusing story with a satisfying ending for our protagonist, who has character growth that makes him an antagonist. Sort of. Whether he actually became an antagonist, is up to you. I do believe that he became an antagonist, and I don't hate him for it. His name is Q, and he's the son of a corruptor. He doesn't talk back and is quite reserved, which makes it easy for everyone to pick on him. He's a student in class 4/6 and none of his classmates like him, except Tan, a beautiful girl who turns out is taking advantage of Q. In the past, there was a massacre in class 4/6, where a teacher mass murdered her students before taking her own life. She became a vengeful spirit who later put a curse on every student in class 4/6. To me, the curse is rather lame. The premise of the curse is that if a student fails to bring a book that the ghost wrote on the board in the early morning, they will die, and others will not have any recollection of them. Ridiculous, right? Like, think about it. It can be solved with students bringing all books to school every day. I'm not Thai, so I don't know if their schools provide lockers, but isn't it reasonable for students to bring all their books every day? There's no need for Q's classmates to bully him because his house is the closest to the school. What makes it more ridiculous is that every desk has a compartment attached underneath it. The space is big enough to keep a few books, just in case the book the ghost writes on the board isn't the one they need to study on a particular day. If Q hadn't taken revenge for what everyone did for him and successfully made them disappear, I wouldn't have given this episode this score. It was the make-it factor for me. It was a satisfying watch.
