That surface would be called a "mirror".
We can see through it at the day time because it's light outside but at night when it's dark; switch on the light of the room and you are able to see yourself in the transparent glass.
You need to draw a convex mirror. If you add lines normal to its surface you will see that the focal point is behind the mirror. The image is not inverted.
Because you need to be able to interpret what you see.

An Image is formed only when there is parallel reflection of light rays that falls on the surface..... Like in Mirror, the surface is plane, while in case of Paper, the surface is irregular or zic zag and hence the reflected rays are not parallel to each other and so no image is formed.

Mirrors have a special surface, usually at the back, that reflects light. This means that light that strikes the mirror's special surface bounces back. Light coming from you goes to the mirror's surface, bounces back and some of that light enters your eyes so that you are able to see your own image.
Severe distortion.
-- You don't 'see' a virtual image, unless it somehow continues to your eye and forms a real image there. -- The image formed on the light-sensitive surface of your eye is, as you said, real and inverted. The brain does a neat job of interpreting it as an erect image. When experimental subjects are fitted with glasses that invert the image before it enters the eye, so that it arrives at the retina upside-down, the subject's brain is able to make the correction within a few hours and everything works fine again.
