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!

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.

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!

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

so much fun

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

Moral Dilemmas and Diplomacy

Overall I would give this book 4.5 stars. It’s a fun litrpg listen. This book has less emphasis on combat and settlement building the previous books in the series. Instead it’s heavier on characters development, moral choices, and diplomatic relationships.

***Potential Vague Spoilers***

The main character struggles with how his power shapes his interactions with others. A lot of the book explores how much he can and should force his will on others and how much a bad situation can justify it, or it just being abuse of power. All this occurs while a new threat looms that acts as a twisted reflection of the main character. Both the main character and primary antagonist of the book perform similar actions, but for different reasons and justifications. Multiple times during this book I was reminded of the quote, “He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster.”

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.

a bit too much personal moral delemm but good overall

the protagonist spent too much time pining about his moral issues. I understand the author was trying to convey a point but it was overdone. The rest of the storyline were fine. the ending was good as well. I will listen to the next volume and see how it continues from thwre

This story is amazing

I loved most things about this book. It keeps going and keeps you on your toes. I am anxiously awaiting the next in the series.
