The First Lich Lord by Levi Werner

It's not interesting ,
Rank C-

Oh, this story was really disappointing for me.

You have the perfect setup for a cool, evil Mc. His character is an evil lich with a group of Overlord-esc NPCs loyal to him and he becomes his character right after turning into a lich by sacrificing an entire cities worth of people (NPCs).

Then, the story starts. MC has regressed back to level 1, but is now a lich, and is a white knight type character. He runs away from the super secret hiding spot only his most loyal NPC knew about because he’s worried he will kill him (and because he wants a new start separated from his actions).

He feels terrible about killing people, and goes out of his way to avoid using his dark magic (because dark magic is bad). He makes a monster to guard his phylactory, and then says that’s the last time he’ll use it.

Now, if the system was interesting, all that could have been okay. But it’s not. It doesn’t really make sense. Pre level 20 Mc with the aid of an NPC priest takes on a super high level dungeon and takes out the boss. It’s an uninteresting, uninspired level system that in no way makes up for the rest of the stories problems.

It is well-written, grammatically correct and no spelling mistakes or odd sentence choices.

Ahh, another book published by royalroad, I feel like this book will be especially good with that character growth tag and no naive tag, glad to get that off my chest.

Sound interesting 🤔 any poison testers
