First Necromancer, Book Three

A System Descent LitRPG Adventure

De: Coldfang89

Narrado por: Christian J. Gilliland

With the Slosth and Devil Incursions taken care of, Drew Wright should be settling down for some well-deserved rest. But… the world is still in shambles, survivors are fighting over limited resources, and he no longer has access to magical, gun-wielding minions.

So, rest will have to wait.

Drew needs to find a new way to control hordes of undead minions without his brain leaking out through his ears. Becoming an undead Lich is certainly an option, but that involves losing certain… assets that he’d rather hold on to, especially with him and Amber considering the option of having children. Which is nearly as daunting as the apocalypse itself.

To further complicate Drew’s life, the gods of the multiverse have finally come to Earth, making deals and offering great strength to those who bend the knee. Meanwhile, other powerful figures are emerging, ones that Drew will not be able to face alone.

When a new threat arises, one that seeks the extinction of the human race, Drew is forced to set aside his morals to focus on what really matters…

Survival.

Another darkly hilarious and action-packed book!

Coldfang89 delivers another darkly hilarious and action-packed book in the First Necromancer series, Book Three, and Christian J. Gilliland’s narration brings Drew Wright’s snark and struggles to life perfectly. The stakes are higher than ever as Drew weighs becoming a Lich, starting a family, and surviving gods invading Earth—all while trying not to lose his mind (or his manhood). If you like clever undead chaos with heart, this one’s a must-listen.

Morality

This book has a lot of philosophical questions of right and wrong. What would you do if everything was at stake? How far would you go for you and your family to survive?

Most of the book was set up for the main battle. Part I is in this book, part II in the next.

Excellent narration!

Why does he talk so slow and think so slow?

I love LitRPGs and I really enjoyed the first two books. This book gave me severe anxiety. Dealing with large scale army warfare is one of my least favorite scenarios in any media. The third is probably politics. Second is forces that the MC can not reasonably be able to stand against (Gods, B ranks, million number army). I was really disappointed that this book already went there.

The main character can be pretty frustrating at times. Why start a conversation and then get lost in thought and a sentence in? Why does he expect Gods to solve all his problems and throw fits when they refuse? What was the point of having him attain more guilt in every book? Is he meant to be really annoying with all his stupid moral inner monologuing? It is the end of the world! Deal with it! Obviously, a nonfictional character would be much worse, but this is fiction. For entertainment. Annoying might be more realistic, but it isn't entertaining.

The voice acting is incredible

I extremely enjoy system based litRPG’s and I have to say this story is extremely well crafted, blending in fun with storytelling.

World war necromancer!

Large scale conflict well written and designed while still maintaining morality, ethics, and mental health discussions for the characters undergoing the conflict.
Great combat, tactics and grand strategy implemented as well as human interaction city management.
A complex book that kept me thinking and where to see what the characters do next.
What choices will Drew make and what will the consequences be?
It’s just the fate of the world and humanity at stake!

I love the story, however...

I feel like it might be growing pains but the MC has become very immature in some of his actions and thinking which feels like a regression from the last book and the 10 years he spent growing as a person and a necromancer. Still love the story I'm just hoping it won't be a continuous issue and we can mature.

so much fun

very few books so moral quandries and then make you chuckle. this is one of them

Just keeps getting better and better

Wow. i absolutely adore this series, its fun and action packed. There are some somber and complex moments but it just builds on the mythos. Looking forward to the next one

Story , characters, narrative

First review on audible. This is a great series ! Great character building, great narration, love the magic system along with how gods are involved in the story ! A must read ! or listen lol!

Good but you made MC into a whiny baby

I like the story though I am a bit disappointed with the developments in some ways. You've turned an intelligent and driven MC into a whiny baby who throws fits that Reyna Lear won't solve all his problems despite him getting absurd OP levels of help from her. He has an absurd amount of qualms using his own undead, and is afraid of his own spells. I like the series but good lord please pull back on the mambo pamby MC angle.
