In the twilight of his life, legendary magician Ambrose Jenkins found himself unable to afford a Potion of Youth. The high elves—those damned beansprouts!—had jacked up prices again. To prolong his life, Ambrose had no other option than to become an undead, a lich.

The two thoughts that plagued him during the transformation, and which would thereby remain with him for good, were: Damn those high elves! I’ll never go without gold again!

Ambrose Jenkins, lich for hire, at your service.

    Just like most already said, the first arc was really enjoyable, but later on it went downhill.
    The MC became overpowered.
    The MC teamed up with the race he hated the most and there was no real storyline anymore, instead it felt as if the author decided on a whim what to do next

    Finished the MTL; it is pretty good quality. Very enjoyable novel with a proper ending.

    My main "problem" with it are the inspirations/terms taken from DnD and other contemporary fantasy stuff. Those repeatedly damaged my immersion while reading.

    200 chapters roughly, pretty good the main drawback is a lack of a greater narrative, usually mcs at the level of this mc get into the main story, this feels disjointed like the author didn’t plan things out the mc goes places gets a new interest and plot happens, although the that plot is good for me after the 1 arc every the next arc was lose I will continue later I recommend the 1st arc the later ones are uncertain

    I read around 200 chapters
    It was great in the beginning
    Great character building
    Had depth and every character seemed unique

    Great story progression
    Story was very interesting

    World building was quite subpar
    It was stated by author as vast with thousands of races
    But the empire seemed for like small sects rather than massive empires

    Power level system is quite messed up too
    We aren't told much about the power system except legends/demigod/gods

    Everything else seemed insignificant
    But sometimes non legend were mc
    Even though he was supposed to be like one of the weakest legend
    Shouldnt author make it clear of other power level beside the legends and how much difference is between them
    Mc didn't seem much like a necromancer or mage
    He was good at everything related to magic but not good at particularly anything
    Well that was also the main thing about why he was so weak but there should be a clear distinction between levels
    Atleast for me
    Also why are there so many legends when they are supposed to be like god candidate

    Tbh it bothered me a bit but didn't really break my immersion much
    But..
    After the wish ritual it slowly started becoming slop
    He became super f#cking op
    Fu#king rich
    Elves became his main ally, when it was stated that during his transformation to lich
    There were 2 main obsession for him
    Gold and hatred for beansprouts
    But he flipped so fast

    I let even that slide
    Since I liked the mc
    I liked that mc was selfish asf
    Was focused on his goals
    It's kinda rare these days since most author go the harem route nowadays
    But it went towards the harem route
    The "most beautiful" elf queen
    It was mentioned like 100 f#cking times that she is so beautiful that even though he has no emotion
    He still feels something towards her
    Also why is a empress of a empire kinda retarded like a 5 yr old
    No matter how powerful or talented you are
    Why would an immortal race let an child like empress take the reign
    Hated her tbh
    The moment she was introduced I knew the story was going to suck ass

    After that the author just started forcing the plot
    Like with druid girl
    Go back in time to save a guy you knew for like 2 weeks
    Fight lyon army to "test" them

    Gods feel like arrogant young master rather than real gods

    Also why does everyone becomes retard after the wish ritual
    Characters were quite alright in the end
    Not particularly good at negotiations but after that it's just retarded characters making mc seem super smart and giving him millions of gold coin like nothing

    Forced plot after forced plot
    Idk why would the author butcher his novel like this

    It was a very good concept with a great start
    But I feel like author should have ended it in around 200-300 chapters
    It would have been much better that way
    Author ran out of ideas I think
    Maybe he wanted to stretch it out for some reason
    So he just started writing bullshit for whatever reason

      I actually continued till 544 and then dropped it and I really totally agree with all your points, even around the end all the gods and other characters are just too dumb and plot is just going on and on and on

    I'm too lazy to write a proper review but all the characters in this are very well thought out and unique to their personalities. The book has a great sense of action as well as mystery and intrigue, and doesn't reveal everything right off of the bat. There's several things about even the main character that we don't know till the mid-late areas of the currently released chapters, so around chapter 50-70. This book does a great job of showing the MC lacking empathy but also remaining entertaining and funny, as well as being interesting to read. Give this a try, it is very very good.

    Gustavo Fring, the Sixth Seat of the Alchemists' Council and a Legendary Alchemist. The works he had published across the continent could likely fill Ambrose's entire library. He was a truly influential figure.
