This is generally missing a tag: Overpowered MC. Mr. Main Character starts off OP, then the prologue ends and he's weak for a few chapters and then he's OP again.

With that said, and we're dipping into spoiler territory here: for plot reasons (that borderline ruin the entire manhwa) -> Mr. Main Character rolls a natural 1 on like 50 rolls in a row and almost dies once. Then, once again near the end of the manhwa, it happens a second time where he straight up actually does unironically die. The first one is a lot more excusable because it gave him a reason to do some training to get even stronger to fight the final boss, but the second one? Pure nonsensical whacky railroad-storytelling that makes zero sense. It happens a few chapters before the end and I wanted to just straight up drop it when it happened. I just finished it because hey, a few more chapters, I guess.

On top that, it is EXTREMELY predictable. Early on, and I do mean really early on, it is blatantly revealed that Mr. Main Character can casually get all his powers back and become as strong as he was in the prologue if he gives up on being human and I was like "he's going to do that at the ending, isn't he?" Yyyyyyyyyup. I didn't imagine it would be over such pathetic reasons though. The author had a story to tell HIS WAY and he never realized that his story kinda ruins his characters.

I also think that this was axed because some details are just left in the wind, to be explained with a text bubble in the final chapter with no proper payoff. Congratz I guess.

Sigh...
Sigh again...

Besides all that noise above this, what does this manhwa offer? Do you like Gosu? Do you wish Gosu was more fun and less cumbersome? Then read this. I do recommend it despite the nonsense from above.

Without the nonsense, then I would've been like "honestly? We have a completed manhwa that's a lot of fun to read, isn't too long, and has some pretty awesome characters. Seriously, when's the last time you saw a 'heavenly demon" that's so strong and yet so chill that you enjoy seeing his actions and even character-to-character interactions? It doesn't bog you down with merciless explanations because everything HAS to have an explanation. 10/10"

But, the nonsense exists and it is borderline manhwa-ruining-levels-of-bad -> and thus my final score is a 6/10. It's fine, I guess.
I'm really bitter over the author's stupid decisions... bah.

I dunno. It's been months since I read this. How about "until you get bored" or something?

Well, if you take negative five and add negative three, you'll end up with negative eight which is a more negative number.

Yes: it is better to be alone than with a human being who is actually a walking disaster in disguise. What you don't do is give up and choose to stay alone forever. You keep trying.

You're so pathetic. You're the traitor. If someone, who was your ally before you betrayed everyone -> refuses to join you in your betrayal, that person isn't betraying you; you're betraying that person and you're upset that they're upset.

It's like burning your friend's home and upon your friend meeting you, in the middle of burning their home, you're like "hey, let's go burn the next home" -> and you're surprised that they're upset?

There are demonic cultivators but then there's this pile of dung. He has one thing going for him: he's old and was in the right place at the right time. If he was half his own age, he would have nothing.

800 to 900 | Nothing, sect is bottom-tier
900 to 995 | Nothing, sect is bottom-tier
and finally
On year 995, he got Zhou Fan to join the sect
Year 1000 | Sect is now middle-tier
Instead of getting penalized for being useless all this time, you were given a comfy position for retirement. Talk about ungrateful.

Also, anyone who says "I don't need companionship" hasn't really suffered from loneliness. She has a loving family and after moving out, she is in a circle (that she talked about). Even if it took some time to form/get in that circle, she was probably enjoying the peace and quiet of being on her own for the first time... soooooooooo she hasn't really had the chance to realize what loneliness really feels like.

I'm pretty sure no one in the tower, not even someone on floor 99 on the hard difficulty, could hold a handle to Mr. Main Character's overpowered status/abilities right now.

Also, my guess is that Kirikiri wanted to nudge him to get better armor? Maybe some better accessories?

You wouldn't deliberately throw your life away. It is something you'd only ever choose to do if you had no choice. So... could he have done it at full health? Technically speaking, he could yes but otherwise, he couldn't.

Generally speaking, this past season has been a wash. Never before have I seen people so mehhhh about a manhwa that we're glad it is taking a break and also wanting it to end. lol

Miniaturization -> avoid all attacks
Instantly kill one before they realize it

Maybe get rid of the guy who is gloating he is "all that" when he banged his mom.

A character swings a weapon. Answer the following, oh dear manhwa that I'm reading:
1) Who? Mr. Main Character is well defined. His goals, aspirations, powers and stuff are all laid out properly, so the manhwa got that done right.
2) What? Swords, lances, shields, bows and arrows, magic, etc. Mr. Main Character is skilled at all of them.
3) When? Now, after being dead for a decade.
4) Where? In a tower. This is really generic dungeon hunter genre.
5) Why? He was betrayed.
6) How? And this is where this manhwa falters massively.

To cut to the point: power levels and stats and stuff have no purpose. The author wants this stuff to happen -> so it will happen. Common sense? Nah. That's not welcome. Here's a screenshot from chapter 2, when he was just starting out:
https://i.postimg.cc/1tF2Nnry/i.png
See how powerful he is? He's in the tutorial stage. He has this ability called "Gluttony" that allows him to consume things to get stronger. He does it to gain abilities like a bunch of tolerances, poison immunity, etc etc.
Except here on chapter 11, he is much higher level and his stats aren't crazy high as you'd expect them to be.
https://i.postimg.cc/L6QcwpX0/i.png

Fun fact: you NEVER get to see his stats ever again. I checked.
Anyway, his "Gluttony" thing is described as the most powerful that gave him a huge advantage in his previous life -> yet he going around and refuses to use it until he is blatantly told to do so. It goes from bad to worse because if I was him, I'd be eating every boss the first chance I get. One such boss has regeneration so strong that if you rip his head off, he'd regrow it. Mr. Main Character practically nukes him off the face of the planet -> and instead of eating anything left over, he just... does nothing.

This is a consistent problem: idiots yapping instead of doing. Yap yap yap, and aforementioned boss heals back up and WINS. He WINS and the "good guys" are forced to retreat. Pathetic.

A very important mention of the "Necromancer" in the title of this manhwa... It is irrelevant. Serious: at the start, all the focus is on it but there's no details. Do the skeletons use up mana? Do they come back after getting popped? Oh, they're spirits now? Do they get stronger with use?
Yeah uh, none of this is answered as it doesn't matter.
Mr. Main Character gets the power of "All-Master" which is like a jack-of-all-trades for weapons, except being a MASTER at them and the summons become a lot less relevant. They're kinda just mentioned in passing, if even that, by the end of it. Bah.

Ultimately, it was axed. Read something else. If you want a dungeon hunter genre that has Mr. Main Character aim for revenge against people who betrayed him at the start -> read "Kill the Hero" instead.

I read this and it was a bit of a tedious read. I thought I already typed up a review for it but I didn't, so here I go.

Heads up: I'mma be flagrantly dropping spoilers. I don't think this is worth the read overall unless you really like this genre. I kinda had to force myself to keep reading.

So, the description is kinda accurate. The plot takes a curve immediately when you realize, effectively immediately, that there's this one specific character, a femboy, that is making all of them gay. You'd think "oh, so he's THAT hawt?" No. Actually no. He's just a terror that's using charms, magic and other things to force people to fall in love with him.

One of the femboy's methodsd is a "medicine" for an immortal archmage dude who is suffering from PTSD. The medicine does help but it is massively addicting. This manhwa does a good job illustrating it by having fish, literal fish, go wild and kill each other because Ms. Main Character fed them the medicine instead of giving it to the archmage.
This brings up some questions: why? Not "why did she feed it to fish instead of the archmage?" That's obvious: she doesn't trust the femboy. Why did the femboy give her the medicine to give to the archmage?

Why is the femboy doing half of what he's doing? Oh, he wants a new body or some something. Then why did he not just allow Ms. Main Character's sabotage but also encourage it? He addresses this very point and instead of anything happening, nothing happens. He just... kinda likes her. Bah.

Ms. Main Character isn't even that interesting. She is a goofball who doesn't want to be here and instead of accepting any one of the three dudes who will effectively: keep her safe, make sure she's happy, etc -> she rejects them under really stupid reasons. The happy ending almost bothers me, tbh. This character is so stupid, I don't think she deserves to go home safe and sound except now she is in a throuple with two hot guys from the other world - one of which is the archmage who kept his powers.
Also, she is really REALLY sensitive in the weirdest and almost the wrong ways. Sure, look, the fish are killing each other and it's gross, but why are you collapsing? Jeez, get over yourself. Literally no one else, including the literal baby, is bothered.

On the topic of this being not worth the read: it is SLOW. Like jeez, would you hurry up? 20 chapters of the status quo and nothing happening is nice over in the lonely loser genre which is not this. It isn't a villainess work but it is pushing that direction, generally speaking. The thing with the medicine and the fish takes place over like 10 chapters. That's a long time and other stuff pops in between but nothing substantial. Every one of those 10 chapters features Ms. Main Character casually doing her duties to take care of the baby prince and not much else.

In short: bleh/10. Read something else.
