Sylver Seeker by Kennit Kenway

I’m 50/50 on this novel. The main character is unusual—a reincarnated immortal lich in a who’s trying to find his friends and students. The problem is you don’t really see the immortal lich. I didn’t think he’d be cold-blooded and emotionless, but I did expect a professional demeanor. At first, that was there, but in some situations—like —he completely lost his shit and threw a tantrum. I get it, scary, but with Also, instead of writing like this “it’s over Anakin I have the high ground” author writes like this “I formally declare this debacle of yours as terms for your defeat. Henceforth, I will proceed to conclude our lightsaber combat, Anakin. Observe, my former pupil, for I possess a tactical advantage granted to me by my undoubtedly considerable altitude: therefore, given your less than remarkable disadvantageous position, it would be most unwise for you to proceed.”

The system is very generic, not much to say there. The real issue is the author’s attempt to blend the system with laws of magic—that contradict each other more and more as you read. If you stop to think, a lot of what MC does doesn’t make sense. For instance, lead is not part of the system, and its inherent property is that it blocks magic. If you have lead on or in you, you can’t cast spells, and if you face a door made of lead, let’s just say go find another way in. Yet, throughout the novel, the MC ignores this, even though suffers time and time again from it. One gun would’ve solved 90% of his fights with 10% of the effort and he knows about guns. And not exactly a rocket science to come up with lead projectiles. Anticlimactic I know, but hey I don’t make the rules just an observations.

Not reading this yet but looking at other reviews its clearly gold. This author might also be a descriptive type with a good mc to go along. Immortal but death time skips. Similar to how shadow of war's death mechanic and nemesis system. Should be a good read.
