Shameless self review to get he book noticed so I can advance quicker! I plan to write a long series spanning at least a couple hundred chapters, and that there will be a lot of outlining. Seriously, a lot of outlining. I have papers taped to my room's wall that takes up half the wall. That's just the first arc and character sheets.
This is a really good book, pretty good grammar, nice communication between readers and the author and THE PUNS!!! Luv them. The author updates regularly đ Grammar is 4âď¸ Which is pretty good and this story has an interesting plot. Right now, itâs really intriguing albeit a few bumps here and there with the change in writing style and the author trying out some things. GIVE THE AUTHOR SOME POWER STONES!!!!
So, Iâve read up to chapter 119. I think itâs good and early on it definitely was spectacular. However, recent chapters and the current arc post-war is extremely underwhelming. Personally I donât find noble squabbles as particularly entertaining and the pacing post-war with the lead up to the academy has be completely unenthusiastic for the 4 years the characters are going to be spending there. Iâm extremely worried about pacing and overall entertainment value because I also dislike school arcs. Sure, they sometimes add to the overall world building and bigger picture of the continent but theyâre so incredibly boring and thereâs the whole nobles vs commons shtick that will be the main theme for the entire next 4 years worth of chapter content. It gets old fast for me and Iâm already over it from the several other novels I read that use this trope. The story also makes every noble an extremely terrible person with zero redeeming qualities so itâs like, why give a sh!t to keep reading about the stupid group of nobles surrounding Thomas? I couldnât care any less for them than I do now. The author also added some random âsleepiness/confusionâ to the MC to keep him underpowered I guess? Like, thatâs the only reason I can imagine why he did it as the MC would need to be nerfed I guess? I donât quite like nerfing MCs as it really makes me lose all motivation for continuing to read. I personally read novels to see characters grow and continually push their limits. I donât want a Gary Stu or someone thatâs completely invincible but to use a nerf with no explanation on why itâs happening and leaving the audience in mystery for a dozen+ chapters doesnât sit well with me as I completely lose interest. Then you randomly solve it with scaring him to death but itâll come back again? Just seems like such a cop out to keep him underpowered because you probably feel he might be too strong as a combined Lich+human. I started reading this book because I WANTED THAT COMBINATION. Now that we have it in a superior form with them combined, you did that? Personally I find that boring and the antithesis of why I wanted to continue reading. Either make him strong or explain the situation to the readers. I donât care if the MC still has no idea and you go out of your way to make a side character recognize the situation heâs in and not choose to help the Mc. Just donât leave the readers clueless for a dozen+ chapters in my opinion. This is a wall of text so Iâll finish it off with a couple notes. Writing quality is good with a few spelling or grammar errors once every 2 or so chapters. Overall itâs miles ahead of translations on here. Story and premise has so much potential but I personally feel the author has slowed things down too much in the current arc and Added elements that I personally find incredibly boring to read while at the same time being very slow. The story was good up to the war ended and I kind of wish I stopped reading at that point as this new arc has made me dislike this novel tremendously to the point where I am now dropping it entirely. I donât have time to waste on stories that donât have the things in them that I want to read about. The author can keep doing what theyâre doing but personally I find the current arc boring and the premise for the arc even more dreadful and uninspired. The characters all feel like they have life but the nobles feel incredibly âsame-yâ. Theyâre all caricatures of what you expect horrible-selfish-greedy nobles to be. Thereâs nothing good about them and theyâre all terrible people. At least thatâs what is basically written about them and the dialogue/vibes they give off from reading up to ch119. Anyways, for anyone else. I recommend reading to the end of the war and dropping it at the end of the final battle. That is the storyâs peak and you wonât be disappointed like I currently am for having read past that.
This is pretty good. Give it AT LEAST until chapter 6 to decide if you like it/hate it, but this is gold. The concept goes against everything the typical protagonist does in favor of a better direction that makes this book the awesome read it is. I really love how no character is strictly good or bad.
As the title said, it bore me to read this novel. The world setting is generic medieval fantasy with magic, the so called gods are bunch of brain dead beings that repeat the same thing over and over again for who know how many thousands of year (like the definition of insanity). The MC is hypocrite, he claim to not be evil but his actions prove otherwise. I enjoy ruthless MC like Fang Yuan and FY never once claim that he is a good person, he enjoy taking advantage of other to his own benefit so sure he is "evil" by his world standard but atleast he is not hypocrite. the characters so far are pretty generic, just because they said something ruthless doesn't mean it make the better (they are all bark but no bite type). Overall I'm disappointed by this novel, what a let down.
Oh maaaann, what a prologue, it's nice and capture me right away, like i said in the comment, it's not the best, but one of the coolest and nice.... i just read it to chapter 7, and i can't say keep up the good work to you author san.... I must say " KEEP UP THE DARK WORK " .... "MWUUUUAHAHAHAHAAAA " [laugh in evil tone]
This book inspired me to finally put up my stuff on webnovel. It also showed me how great writing and pacing is supposed to look like. The world building is one of the best I've seen and I think Doevm is one of the most spectacularly nerfed op characters, I've read. Great stuff, great author, great guy. Also love the shameless powerstone plugs, lol. Never gets old.
This isnât the run-of-the-mill story with the lazy use of âsubconsciousâ and never ending floods of unnecessary exclamation marks. A Bored Lich has vivid descriptions of the characters and world, competent characters, and humor that I enjoy. Itâs definitely not for everyone, and itâs not perfect, but itâs been leagues better than most of the stories Iâve read on this app.
People who like simple sentences should read this book. It's perfect for the typical first grader who hasn't grasped a compound sentence. Dont get me started on complex sentence structure. The reading just doesn't flow. Also, the author hasn't grasped the nuances of dialog that make reading more interesting. When the characters interact, it sounds completely *******ish. I read till chapter 50 and couldn't take it any more.
