I’m reviewing this off the LN. Was hopeful for this novel. Interesting premise done a number of times, but it could have still been good, but the tangents, monologues, and s*upidity killed it.MC monologues for pages on end, and useless backstory can fill nearly a chapter. The MC is beyond s*upid as well. For some reason he feels the need to help every idiot that struggles in the dungeon, despite the fact that he is an undead and may face the full wrath of adventurers and priests because of it. He finds a secret passage that could help him grow tremendously, and he struggles with whether or not he should go down it or sell the info instead. Not only that, he gets some rando with no skill or experience involved and decides to give the spoils away for practically nothing because said rando has a failing restaurant that he took a loan to keep surviving. He justifies it by saying it’s good to have him as a middleman to do things for him since he can’t go to the guild easily, but he already has two people that are willing and have agreed to that already. Why does he need a third that he knows nothing about and is taking all of his rewards?It might get better, but at this point it’s too hard to get through and not worth spending more time on.
