[WPC #224 Silver Price Winner: Undead and inmortal]

Hello little soul. Were you murdered? Hit by a truck? Did you commit suicide or just slip in the bathtub? Well, the point is, you\'re dead. But don\'t worry about that, because this is not the end.

Welcome to A.T.I.R.

At A.T.I.R. we make sure that qualified souls who deserve a second chance are sent to other worlds to live a new life!

Although it should be noted that not everything is free. It is likely that after your reincarnation, you will have to fulfill a certain purpose.

But nothing too serious, so don\'t worry!

Now enjoy your new life!

WARNING: The journey between dimensions can cause the acquisition of superpowers, loss of senses (blindness, deafness, loss of touch, etc...), baldness, short-term memory loss, loss of organs, and body malformations.

The agency is not responsible for the place or world where you will be reincarnated, if your species changes or if you suffer a problem during the trip. Any inconvenience you may have, please notify the complaints department (they will probably ignore it).

Thank you for choosing A.T.I.R., have a happy life!

\"That doesn\'t sound very good...\"

Follows the story of Marcus, a simple guy who was reborn in a skeleton and despite all the misfortunes, somehow he is still \"alive\".

Fighting monsters, demons, humans, ridiculous situations, and existential crises. Marcus will embark on an adventure to get his freedom in this new life and find the reason why he was called to this world.

But his decisions could alter the destiny of an entire universe.

Starting from the bottom to reach the heavens.

Sigh... Look this is my first novel so I honestly don\'t know how to write a good synopsis without making too many spoilers

But trust me, the novel is much better than this synopsis.

I would appreciate any kind of critique to help me improve as a writer and English is not my native language. So I apologize for any grammatical errors, I will try to fix them if you let me know.

I will try to post a minimum of three chapters per week.The chapters are between 2000 to 3500 words.

    Can be summarised as mediocre and disappointing

    Interesting premise but nothing is done with it... story quickly devolves into isekai cliché about a wannabe hero

    Use of details in parenthesis is distracting
    Too many inconsistencies in plot and worldbuilding
    Grammatical errors almost every paragraph and limited choice of words

    Side characters are somewhat interesting but unfortunately mc is bland and much less fleshed out... makes you wonder who is the focus of the story

    This novel would have been better if it focused on mc's quest for power and answers but was instead wasted on a silly tale about another heroic monster protagonist

    five stars. this novel basically does everything right and the writing and grammar are also really good

    i just hope it won't be like other novels where they take a break and never return

    all in all i would recommend this novel, just read the first few chaps and you'll be hooked trust me

    Shameless self-review. (Let's be honest, almost all authors do it.) I started posting this story as a way to practice my writing and gain more confidence. I never thought it would place second in a WPC.

    I actually think the plot and story are pretty decent, my only problem would be the grammatical errors (English is not my native language.), but I will try to correct them if you let me know. I accept any criticism, comment or suggestion that can help me to improve as an author.

    So don't hesitate to tell me your opinions, even if they are a bit harsh.

    Thanks for reading, I hope I can continue writing this story until the end.

    This is a potential hidden gem as long as it is not dropped.  Doesn't look like a power fantasy of a psychopath like a lot of other novels or boring.  Grammer is good characters are well written and story flow is also good.

    5 Stars! This is has got to be one one of the best novels I've read! In fact it's so good that I actually decided to leave a review. I haven't left an actual review in around a year(not including exp reviews). Anyways it's super good. I personally love just about any story about Necromancers or Skeletons or Necromancer Skeletons. The MC is a cool skeleton necromancer dude, and his character is built super well. It's a tiny bit repetitive in the beginning, it has the usual "you killed this" " you leveled up" "you killed this" "you leveled up". But it gets better as your progress. The Author does a good job writing the fight scenes as well describing the environment and characters. As you get in the MC encounters civilization and is able to blend in and hide his his strength. This is also something I quit enjoy. I love reading about the cool, strong, mc's belding in with society and deceiving people.

    I'm not entirely sure about the consistency of updates, I just started reading this tonight, but the description says the Author updates 2-3 times a week. So based on that I'd say the updates are consistent. Additionally the chapters word count is in the 2,000's to 3,000's, so waiting a few days is worth it. It goes premium at chapter 47, but it's definitely worth using fast passes to keep reading. You can read 2 chapters ahead if you have the app (I don't).

    As I said the character design is done really good you can really connect with the mc in a way. Most of the MC's pre-reincarnation is hidden(as of right now), but it adds a certain sense of mystery to the MC.

    The World Background is also done stupendously. The Authors created his own fantasy world and has a done a good job introducing it. There's a chapter that introduces a lot of the background and the history of the world. One of the languages is a lost language called Germanium(I think I spelt that wrong), the author said it isn't German, but I refuse to believe that!

    The writing quality and the grammar is good, I haven't noticed any misspelled things, run-on sentences, punctuation errors. I think a reason for the updates times, is that the Author spends a lot of time going over and revises and fixing any mistakes. Additionally he gets feedback from the readers that helps him fix any mistakes. I can't really rate this area to well, as I'm German and English is a second language for me. But at least on my standards the grammar and just overall writing quality is awesome.

    All in all it's a super good story and I definitely would recommend reading.

    I like the story so far. The fact that he didn’t start out OP is refreshing when compared to other Monster Reincarnation stories. Though it gets a little hard to understand for me sometimes, it is still an interesting read.
