This is a prime example of a cliché premise turned into a wonderful & interesting story 👏

THE STORY : I'm happy that it's not the kind of story where added scenes seemed to be hastily thought up just to unnecessarily prolong the story. You can clearly see that it's well-thought-out. The execution of the story is well done. It gets the reader progressively interested and excited. Also, I like how the arising issues or conflicts aren't repetitive. Although the vampires are the main enemies, the scenes where the MC &... more>> his companions get tangled up are actually quite creative and gets you all hyped up.

THE MC : I gotta say at the beginning, Allen was the naive kind of MC where he thinks that he's not OP just because he's supossedly an extra or in his case, a "mangnani" but thank the goddess Gaia cause that mentality of his didn't last long.

Allen has quickly become one of my most favorite MCs. His personality is quite colorful and he's hella funny too (although a bit insane) but hey, it runs in the imperial family's blood so I can't blame him. If I have to point out just one thing I don't like is that, he almost always takes care of everything all on his own. Like seriously, why do almost all the MCs I know have this tendency to sacrifice themselves despite them having some strong-ass companions 🤦‍♀ Oh well, I guess it's just the old common "self-sacrificing heroic syndrome" that practically every MC of a damn story has

CHARACTERS : I love that I got to know the characters' unique personalities. They're not one-dimensional and although not all, I got to peek a few scenes from their pasts as well as their thoughts which in turn, shaped and engraved their own special characteristics in my mind. I also like the character growth of some of the supporting characters. Although they weren't focused enough, it's still good. The bonds between Allen and his close confidantes—especially Charlotte—warms my heart and gets me teary-eyed on certain scenes 🤧

This was one hell of an exciting ride full of action-packed fighting scenes, heart-wrenching reunions & funny dialogues from our one and only MC. Oh dear goddess Gaia and Lord Saint, thank you for gracing this poor lamb with this wonderful novel 🙏 <<less

This has to be one of the worst novels I've ever attempted to read. Every single character is annoying. I could feel a mounting frustration at the sheer level of idiocy and a cast of imbecilic characters. I wanted to reach into the novel and burn everything and everyone.

I'm quitting this novel because every second of reading this burns brain cells. I'm not even talking about plot holes. So far, everyone we've come across, and yes that includes the MC, is so ridiculously s*upid that I have no idea how... more>> anyone has survived long enough for their world to exist.

No. Just no. Dropped. Metaphorically thrown into the garbage can. I wish I could erase its existence from my mind. <<less

Pretty good novel, a nice all-round coverage of the main aspects, e.g sufficient world building, character insight and a decently unique concept. Only one thing bugs me.

Spoiler

The main character commonly uses a musket and prays to the God, Gaia, of that world, thereby buffing his gun with holy power or whatever. I'm pretty sure this is the exact same concept from Youjo Senki, 'Saga of Tanya the Evil, ' but it's still pretty good

This novel is mashup of many things that make me hate novel that have them. And yet I enjoy reading this one. Author made story interesting, funny and coherent enough for me not to question it.

MC is disgusting who eats while covered in puss, blood and rotten body fluids, he is pushover and has a memory of a goldfish. He baptizes villagers and forgets he ever did that, even though it very significant event for him.
MC is reincarnated person but has no aversion to dead bodies and playing with zombies with their stinking fluids just because his class is necromancer? That makes zero sense, even in fantasy there should several methods to keep themselves clean while doing their shitty jobs or clean themselves after the fact.

I don’t get where those “awesomeness “ come from

i don’t like everyone single characters in this novel (+ MC) beside only thr white hair girl (Charlotte) because she didn’t do much, didn’t speak much.

paladin and entire king family, muscle brain even our MC

... more>> MC IS IMMATURE BRAT, in and out of his so called “pretense”

nothing is dependable when we are the readers,

no plot introduction, no introduction of the character even MC (I learn MC name like 20+ chapters later and it’s not by MC internal monologue)

great potential really I mean it

by due to authorks laziness, I wonder why u slay it so BAaaaaD <<less

This novel is just average, not good, not very bad. Alot of the characters in this novel including MC are hypocrites. The power scale for this novel over time is just silly especially pertaining to the vampires. Example, at the beginning a count vampire was considered powerful but after a while they just small fry plus there were about 1 or 2 at first then somehow they just show up in droves or flocks, never ending, which is ridiculous. I gave up on this novel after the plot went towards... more>> "Attack Of The Titans" which is kinda lame.
Spoiler

Also the vampire King is just a sad naive creature. His motivation is pretty weak and also his power as well.

[collapse]
I don't like how the author writes about when one of the vampire sees how his fellow captured vampires getting tortured and experimented on as something evil and horrendous, are u kidding, this doesn't even make sense. The author has too much bs/wtf in this novel. I think the author ran out of ideas and just keeps plugging random plots and materials in. <<less

The beginning volumes were fun but then everything started being too easy for MC and I started losing interest. Plus webnovel with holding the chapters for over 7 months made me almost forget about it.

MC became op and him being a necromancer didn't really affect his position so the stakes had no meaning at all. The only reason I kept on reading was cause the dynamics were interesting. You can feel the author rushing through the later half of the novel.

I think this could have been a lot more fun... more>> if we explored what the heck Allen himself is and how his soul came to inhabit this plane and how he's able to use the powers of holiness and necromancy. (Also I ship Allen with Charlotte and Alice. Dang give me the romance damn it!) Some more moments with his wacky insane family could be fun too. Each and every member of the imperial family is bonkers and I like that. This novel could have easily been 100 chapters longer with proper time spent on the characters and this unique world and system and I would have loved it. Cause this certainly has a unique world building. Also we need to learn more about the gods man. They're important.

I used MTL to finish this as it's quite short.

3/5 stars <<less

this novel is really good ! It doesn't feel like it at all at the beginning but the more you read the more enjoyable it becomes, I mean come on 40 chapters in and it gave me the battle I waited nearly a decade to get from game of thrones !! WHAT.A. BEAST :)

I'm still reading but from what I'm seeing this novel should have the Op protag tag though honestly him being op is more on the supportive side which is awesoooooooome!! Remember he can also support his... more>> own summons :) what an awesome novel with an enjoyable main weapon and set of skills

edit: oh no no apparently he's going beyond mere support :) <<less

I honestly enjoyed this story up till the end of the third brother arc. Was it the author who didn't properly describe what is what or the translation. But

... more>>
Spoiler

while it is somehow a "good" ending. Everyone in that family did him dirty. And it had been described that he had never personally done atrocities nor commanded such to be done. He didn't even have a proper name for himself.

[collapse]

His father a deadbeat, his mother a lunatic, his grandfather a muscle-moron.

Up till then the novel followed plot armor after plot armor with satisfying ends to the arcs. If you can swallow the unjustified doings of the imperial family towards the poor guy - then do read the novel!

It is satisfying to read about the "holy undead" and the weapon that MC choose to use.

As for the review mentioning "The character is promoting alcohol at the young age, which is very disturbing to read at all. It could be acceptable if he is in legal age, but MC is 15 years old!"

I think it was mentioned his body is a bit older than that. Plus, the MC is a transmigrated adult, one forgets the age of him most of the time while reading. And lets not forget that the novel describes a different culture and different times.

And lastly: kids are allowed to mu*der and go to war, but god-forbid they drink alchohol (note: I am talking about in-novel specifically). <<less

It's a bit of a fight-after-fight-after-fight. It's so overshadows other things in a binge read, that I'm tempted to leave the review just that. 'll see if I'll need to update this.

Note, the alternative title shortens to "Grandson... romancer"* as a default filename, in, at least one case, which is my case, and I find it funny.

*NU seems to force a space after three dots, annoying as it is, take it as another note?

This is a good novel. A refreshing read really.. Tho it is a bit cliche in some parts, it makes up for it with its exciting entrance and action scenes. The plot keeps me invested, while the crowd's 'Misunderstanding' of MC's action never fails to crack me up. The character's development is there, world-building, everything essential, at least enough to keep the story coherent and exciting. The ending does feel a bit rushed tho, but at least there were no loose ends (that I can remember)

The title is a lie. Should be called 'Holy Emperors Grandson is NOT a Necromancer'.

The reason I'm saying this is that due to the holy emperor heritage, his necromancy powers are inverted to something holy. Curse becomes blessing, muddy swamp becomes holy water pond, and the revived corpses have a holy element. This actually sounded interesting, but the author is an idiot. The MC hardly ever uses his skills, doesn't level up at all, and is far too accepting of being isekai'd. A modern person shouldn't adapt so well to... more>> medieval times where he is a gravekeeper in the middle of nowhere.

His unconcerned attitude is annoying, since he never uses his power to show he can back it up. He just sits at the back, buffing and healing them all. Hang on, that's a priest. Or since he physically fights a bit, then paladin. Sure as hell isn't a necromancer.

What the hell is a mangnani also? Does the translator not understand what translated means? Its not cute leaving words untranslated, it is rage inducing and lazy appearing. Now I have to look it up myself and break my reading flow. Minus one star just for this.

Some other reviews say this is good, but I lost interest in the MC, and therefore the story. Part of it was that his name hasn't once been mentioned yet. His true one, or the prince one. I am not joking. <<less
