1) What is about?

Is a OK popcorn type, but not outstanding, smooth necromancer story.

Well done basic, if generic story, about timetravel mind to the start and get OP quick making use of future events and honed skills with toothless dangers/enemies and many chances of quick improve strength. With a competent and not suicidal MC that is able to leverage his advantage for a smooth improvement, he is seen to handle situation in pragmatic manner when needed and is not the super dense type so don't expect the "will they" drama and being surronded by quick obedient and competent companions make them fine if not bland.

Regarding the Powersystem, the necromancer tech tree is very classic, skeleton+zombies+ghosts -> elite versions -> with some abomination to spicy things up and he eventually control hundreds of undead with variety of quality lvl, that is a big plus.

There are hint of originality with in the magic system with "zombies eating corpse to make special props", "temporary fortress" and "Pale Architeture - using bodies to make special buildings", but they kind go start and stop without playing anything more.

While the Plot better than generic ones and have some twists is relative straightforward and you can see the end of each arc relative quick as the MC is never in any real danger or any draw back for what he does.

2) Why 3 Stars?

Is very a "safe" story, the plot is ok enough to keep reading, the necromancer is a interesting magic system, the supporting characters aren't annoying, dumb or useless. (Beside the half-elf lady and her arc) While a rather active MC is a good enough to read.

Is just is forgettable, the hints of interesting come and go, I believe the greatest problem is the lack of real "threat" to the MC and his smooth improvement. This mean that we lack interesting battle, exploration magic system and plot. Lacking that, if had something better than the inoffensive personality and interaction of the character including the MC, it could have been a 4 stars.
