For Evin, the Voice inside his head was always something to be despised. Because of it, he is shunned by all, even his own family. His mother had left him, leaving him behind with a father who is beyond done with the mentally-ill child under his care.
Yet still, the worst of all is the Voice, a mad and sadistic being, who utters nothing but insults and mockery.
But everything changes when Evin discovers he is a mage. To his surprise, the Voice inside his head grants him an advantage in spellcasting that no one else possesses, but Evin does not care for these strengths. He only wants one thing and that is to separate from the Voice. His identity as a mage is a glimmer of hope for him to be finally free from its grasp. The Voice also expresses that it wants nothing to do with the useless boy it inhabits.
As they embark on their journey toward separation, Evin and the Voice come ever closer to the mysteries of Alvox, a closed off world ruled by the immortal Final Empress.

Most of you probably recognize the Evernight Goddess. When I'm rich, I'll commission an art for the Final Empress proper.

TLDR
It's a really nice novel. A new take on Isekai that I haven't yet seen and also the theme and mood of the novel feels special.
Would give it a try.
Longer review:
As an isekai, there's a few twists already. For example, the isekaid protagonist is a ghost that's been wandering the earth. And when he finally gets isekaid, he doesn't even get a body of his own. He gets stuck inside the head of a boy, which is our MC. I feel bad for Endra lol
Speaking of Endra, the strongest part of this novel was for sure the characters.
As the voice inside Evin's head, who was wandering the earth for who knows how long, he's definitely insane and unrestrained, so it's fun to read his dialogue. And not just his dialogue, it's fun to see him not caring about the risks and dangers and actually acting unrestrained as well.
He actually tries to kill the infamous 'spoiled noble young master' coz he was pissed and he does it all while filling Evin's head with mad laughter
And it's not like the other characters are blind. They immediately notice that there's something weird inside the MC's head and tries to get to the bottom of it. They each have their own ideas regarding it, so it's fun to read their different reactions and deductions.
If you're someone who likes character-centric novels this is definitely a good one for you
As for the other aspects of the novel:
Anyhow, Great novel, would recommend
