Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits

Bookmarked? I finally caught up baby!

Oh boy, it’s been a while since I’ve last reviewed a manwha — four months — but I’ll try my best. Anyway, here’s the actual review:

Despite the conventional generics and usages of the usual cliches and manwha tropes, the manwha utilizes each element to compliment its storytelling ability, becoming quite an emotional tugging and engaging read via significant characters and the tone of the story. 

The plot and chain of events aren’t the most ambitious, as it is a concept done numerous of times before — necromancy — however, the story found its own charm through events that create compelling characters who compliment the memorability and enjoyability of the story and events. 

To put the characters in perspective, it’s been four months, since I’ve last read a chapter of this story, however, I still vaguely or clearly remembered each one; most notably, the sub/side characters that make up the main cast undergo their own developments and sub arcs to create an emotional attachment and life outside of the usual heliocentric necromancer stories. In other words, whenever a side character appears, it’s a gleeful and a joyous occasion, since they add life to the story but not overbearing. 

The tone of the story is quite dark despite the unsuited artstyle that follows the manga — do not get me wrong, the artstyle and details are stunning, however, it feels off at times, but it doesn’t take much away from the story. 

There are some minor flaws here and there in rationality of the characters, ever-increasing power scales, and the slower/more disengaging plot line, however, they all add depth and uniqueness to the otherwise generic manwha, creating an emotional and engaging read. 

PS: I stopped reviewing on this w3bs!te, since these longer style reviews aren’t appreciated as much, but just read the last paragraph if “you don’t have the time.”
