As Gabriel walked on the thin line between life and death while fighting for his life, something came in his life... Something that was going to change his life and the world forever...
Step on this unforgettable journey of light and darkness that transcends boundaries of space and time like never before...
Complimentary first review from the Author: The story is set in a world where magic exists, and each Magical Element has a Holy Church, with the Holy Church of Light being the most influential and strongest. The only element which doesn't have a Sacred Church is the Element of Darkness as it was destroyed, being thought to be the work of the Devil. Since then, all Dark Mages were hunted by the world and killed whenever discovered. In this world, Gabriel wakes up with the Holy Element of Light, but due to circumstances, he wakes up with a second Element, Darkness which brings him at an unexpected crossroads. The story will be an epic filled with mystery, adventure and actions. Please give it a try.
I'm on chapter 83 atm I don't have much to say but good things writing quality is top tier. Updates all the time Story is really good character design is top tier the world-building is good too only thing that would make the novel better is some lemons. ;]
This is one of the best necromancer novels that I had come across. Man, the character development, world background, spells and the artifacts. I just simply love everything about this novel.
This is prime example how you do NOT write a good fantasy novel. The story is all over the place. Characters act like a binary code - one second they are admiring mc, then over some non-existant cause they are out to gouge his eyes with a spoon (real people don't act like that, which may be a surprise for author). Mc himself is badly written mary sue. The world is generic and rules are non existant, cause author writes them down ONLY for the mc and any other character to break them in the next paragraph. Oh, also "zoomer language" is not helping. Over all this is worst novel, no, worst piece of media I saw in a LONG time. So am I writing this? Well, you see, this TEXT is somehow 4th place in rating, hence why I picked it up. Turns out, you should never trust in ratings.
Development of the 1st arc was horrible, with unnecessary conflicts, and worldbuilding failures. I left the story. he is the enemy of the world and insists on betraying his allies.
The conversation seems so fake and cringe
A strong affiliation towards the light, but pushed into darkness by jealous conspirators. A story that doesn't shy to delve into the ugliness of human societies, told through a visceral depiction of both the good, bad and the ugly. If you've enjoyed DA's other novels, then don't think further and jump into this. You're in for a grand ride.
Reveal Spoiler
just read the first 20 chapters. I don't like how he starts off with the most powerful weapons in the world. The story is progressing too fast with almost no character development. story is very bland and somewhat unoriginal. would not recommend.
SPOILERS I've read up to 620 and I feel like I'm just being trolled by the author at this point. The author just decides to destroy the world that Gabriel/Karyk is from for absolutely no reason. Also whenever Gabriel/Karyk decides to kill or betray someone, it just miraculously happens that they had ulterior motives all along.
A review of a privileged reader: As of right now everything is being lined down by the author perfectly but cons and pros are impossible to avoid Cons : Story development is annoyingly slow! Like before in the tower ark i was reading throughout it with in mind 200+ chapters to read more but now its BAD chapters a not long enough too! Half the chapters even in priest of darkness privilege is just all shitty talking! Update stability is never the same time a day! Tge story is so predictable! Author have a no existence talent of the element of suprise! To hell with this am reading to this point because I believe this guy can catch up of things! LIKE u don't need 2 chapters a day of random nonsense with a chapter so short that there's no progress in plot! A whole chapter was about him dodging holding hands with a girl! I just started a month ago and i been lovin the story but plz at least let us have a meaningful chapter or just do 1 day!!!!
uhhhhh who is saying this book is elite? This book is bad. Like really bad. Don't read this book if you want logic, consistency, character growth, a good plot. In it's current state it's really weak. I donno if this is spoilers since it's literally the first 5 chapters but he very first plot point is that the MC gets accepted into the holy church for being the youngest mage to awaken and have a compatibility with light. The head priest of the church who is accepting him as his disciple decides not to give him a guard or a trinket to save his life or anything for that matter. We then learn there is a Head priest of the village that the MC lives in who has a son who also happened to awaken with light compatibility at the same time but he's a lil old so not so cool. The head Priest of the entire church says nope I'm not gonna accept him in the church he has to go the long way to get into the church. The problem with this is that we immediately after this fact learn how rare light users are.... so why didn't the head priest accept him? This leads to obvious hatred in the sons heart and conflict arises but you see how forced that was? How illogical that whole scenario was? It's like listening to a 5 yo lie to you using 5 yo logic but you are an adult and you can see right through it. Then there's the word padding, it starts right in the beginning. The author will blatantly rewrite but slightly reword sentences that are just reiterating the same thing over and over. Stuff you normally see in novels after they go platinum sometimes.I don't understand how this is ranked so high.... This book reminded me why I like books that have been published and have editors and an author who rereads their own work and makes multiple drafts. I hope the author goes back and rewrites this cause it seems like there's good ideas in there it just feels like whoever wrote this is in elementary school (very rookie writing mistakes). It's like that. I hate leaving bad reviews cause I'd much rather love a book than feel like I've been wasting my time.
Reading this novel is like watching one-piece anime the author drags and drags the chapters on, something which only should of took 20-30 chapters and managed to take 60. I just really dislike the author writing as he drags stuff out.
I’ m on chapter 229 n what I can say so far abt this novel is if u coming hear to read abt evil mc u not going to find it at most mc it’ not even considered anti-hero tbh but u can still read there no female lead that good thing but still there a lot of unanswered question for example how big it’ s the world it’ there going to be harem etc the most I can say abt this novel that read but but keep in mind that this it’ not masterpiece at most u can say pop corn novel btw if u read this novel u will noticed it’ s a lot similar as the other one that he wrote even if it’ not the same setting it’s almost like copy paste keep that in mind too but at most I can say this novel it’ s 3.6/5 if he doesn’ add harem and mc becomes more evil or cold it could be at 4/5 novel
I loved the concept of two totally opposite elements to work with each other. I was just thinking about HOLY NECROMANCY and voilà a novel about it was in my recommendation. I am very much satisfied with this recommendation. it's little sad that the love intrest of mc is going to die in future (after 3 years). Revenge + weak to strong = Great story(in my opinion) hence ❤️ Arifureta , Shield hero (S1) & now Holy Necromancer
