Jay was merely an abandoned butcher’s son, living in a small village on the outskirts of a magical world. When humans came of age, they would receive their class from a mana conduit, granting them magic powers, and begin their lives as adventurers. “Status,” Thought Jay, checking his class. [Necromancer Level 1] “...I’m a Necromancer?” His eyes widened in shock. Looking around in fear, he breathed a sigh of relief. No one heard him. This was a monster class, and one of the more powerful monsters at that; a powerful being which raised the dead to fight on its behalf. If anyone knew, they would hunt Jay down and kill on sight. He was not just a threat to the authority of the nobles, but to all living things. “But am I a monster now? Or human? I guess it doesn’t matter. They’ll kill me all the same.” Jay had only one option: to get stronger, building his necrotic powers up so that he may one day become untouchable. Through plotting, secrecy, and sometimes by sheer carnage, he can only attempt to survive in this hostile world. Join Jay as he struggles against all odds and misfortune, against a world that wants him dead, as he secretly rises and bends this world to his will.
Solid world building, introduction and development of apocalyptic setting. Could have been so much better. Then the novel completely stagnated after Chap 70, all characters hang around doing nothing, no progress, no development, nada, just some lame skill development. Author also decided to go way way left with all the gratuitous titillation and fetishes. Pedophilic tendencies (MC's adopted little sister is pre-pubescent and very immature, devolves into sexual relations, chap 100+), netorare tendencies, many many chapters dedicated to describing the gang rape/abuse of women. One character is repeatedly gang-raped, saved, gang-raped, saved, gang-raped, and finally killed. Absolutely pointless and sick fantasy from author. I get that a lot of the readers rated this highly because of the titillation though, seems very juvenile. Gave up after Chapter 120.
