Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Sometime after ‘Gates’ appeared in this world, humanity was divided into two: [User] and [ordinary human beings] Lee-kyung was able to awaken into a user and choose a [Class]…but, in momentary misjudgement, chose to be a [Necromancer], the worst of all classes.

Lee-kyung, searching for the materials to evolve his skeletal servant, ‘Lackey,’ was barely able to participate in a high-level raid for [Tower of Command] Dungeon. In an accident, he falls down alone to uncover a hidden conspiracy.

Injured and desperate to survive, Lee-kyung called out to anyone…and reached a vengeful spirit. “Please, I’ll do anything….Please form a contract with me and save me!”

–-You’ll do anything?….

[Will you accept the ‘oath’ offered by ‘Seo Dawon’?] –-You’ll do your best to help me achieve my revenge. And, I will do my best to save you wherever, whenever you are in danger. Is that acceptable?

[Initiating a new contract with ‘Seo Dawon’]

Junior Necromancer Choi Lee-kyung and Ranker Mage Seo Dawon’s delightful revenge play!

For anyone who feels reluctant to start the novel because of all the comments regarding Leekyungie's lameness, I recommend you just start the novel and see for yourself. Leekyung is NOT a static character and as the novel goes on you can see his growth in character as well as skill and common sense. Even if you've only skimmed this novel updates page, you can tell this is one long ass slowburn, so of course it's goning to take a while leekyung to grow and for the things you want... more>> to happen to happen.
Spoiler

Leekyung only really starts getting 'cool' around 200 or so chapters in, so if you aren't committed to reading up to that point with a white lotus MC, then maybe choose something else.

[collapse]

Regarding the romance:

The romance in this novel is more of a sideplot with the main plot being more about getting the servant's revenge. I feel like there is a good balance between fan service and actual meaningful feelings, but I and personally not very big on fan service so ¯\_ (ツ) _/¯.
Spoiler

The romance between the MC and ML can be very frustrating at times and we readers often wonder why tf leekyung continues to like dawon and not his handful of other suitors. This is where I would probably criticize leekyung's character the most bc it seems like he will never realizes his worth and how he does not have to stand for dawon, his other servants, and everyone around him's shit. He also always gets flustered whenever dawon is mentioned and that is frustrating in its own regard as well.

[collapse]

There's a good cast of characters and nice plot, nothing is overly complicated and the translator is awesome, she updates frequently and always clarifies any confusion in the footnotes. It's also a pretty easy read, so theres that too. However, if you're here for the dungeon aspect, then you might want to click off because as the story progresses, there are less and less dungeon scenes. If you're here for the romance, buckle up, it's a long and tough ride. And if you're here just because of general interest, I hope you pick up the story and enjoy. :) <<less

Hi, this is the translator.

As the translator, I'm obviously very biased, but I'd like to give my reasons for enjoying and translating this novel. I've read a bit more into the novel than what's translated, so the review covers more than what exists on novelupdates.

This novel is a long and slow burn. Full of world-building that builds less on the combat and more about the political situations and life-situations of the Rankers and Users in this dungeon world. As a 400+ chapter novel, there's a lot to get through. However,... more>> what's great is that it DOES get through them. A lot of the issues people point out in the beginning (where MC isn't given a chance to do much. Where The ML makes plans on his own. Where ML brings MC Along while MC doesn't yet fully understand the situation) does get addressed. It becomes character development points for both of them (MC learning to assert himself and ML learning to trust others and work together with them). Similarly, the problems with the romance that MC points out gets addressed. (Including the justifiable reasons for why the MC is reluctant to let himself fall in love) All this happens in between learning about the mystery behind the Red Lotus Guild's annihilation.

The Mystery itself is well done, in my opinion. I often see dungeon stories center around the concept of "getting stronger" or "the MC getting revenge on those who looked down upon him." That's not really the case here. Sure, those aspects aren't absent, but the story is more focused on the ML (and his guild's) revenge and finding justice. The MC even states, at some point, that the other Rankers are unlikely to understand his mindset. He (the MC) feels that hanging on to bitterness never helped find him peace and he'd rather forgive those that wronged him. He's not the type to be vicious nor bloodthirsty--but he's the type to be sympathetic and help out.

Speaking of the MC... The novel doesn't shy away from the psychological effects of what happens throughout the revenge on the MC. The novel itself is fairly dark--for someone so normal and gentle, constant exposure to the depths of human depravity isn't exactly the most healthy. The novel delves deep into the trauma and doesn't necessarily leave it unaddressed nor unhandled. But, as is the case with most other aspects of this novel, it releases hints here and there and does not resolve it (or rather it doesn't brush trauma away) quickly. I personally think the long narrative helps make the eventual resolutions feel earned. I want to hug MC a lot--my ordinary child that just wants affection. <<less

Edit: this just got better and better. Our MC is the kind of your usual twenty something idealistic guy that's trying to survive in this world when the world is not just by his side. He's one relatable guy because his demeanor spoke to me who dreams too much but doesn't have any privileges to even reach it. As of chapter 21, the MC and ML has already meet and initiating a contract. Now let's wait. . YES YES YES YES YESSSS.

Not much plot is going on in the first... more>> five chapters because the author is doing world building, but this is game/dungeon system ala Korean Style, but BL and that in itself is already a plus point for me.

Cmon fellow BL readers, march to our own drums.

I hope the further this goes the better it become. Thank you for the translator for picking this up. <<less

Honestly, MC is a bit s*upid and naive and has all the regular Mary Sue traits. But he's made tolerable and endearing in the sense that, the author doesn't try forcefully try to make him appear smart, like dumbing everyone else down to make the MC seem smart. He's your average, not-too-brave, not-too-bright guy with a conscience and regular morals, who happened to be thrown into an entire conspiracy.

Nobody is claiming that he is amazing or "OMG MC, you saved the day!", like other novels, where they put the MC... more>> on a pedestal and shower unwarranted praise despite the MC not deserving it at all. Here, the MC is pretty much unskilled, and barely getting by. I saw a review above that questioned why the MC didn't research dungeons or monsters before he entered them, but I'd argue that he is quite literally a layman. He's stuck with the worst class and never had a chance to advance. I wouldn't expect a guy like that to be super involved in the dungeon scene. As well, because he was so uninvolved given his crappy status, his morals and conscience aren't warped like everyone else's. He maintains his humanistic qualities, whereas other 'users' no longer even blink at torture, gore, etc.

That aside, in this case, it makes sense how his slightly dumb qualities endear him to others, as everyone likes him because he's like a squishy therapy dog. The trope of "everyone falling for the MC" makes sense in this case, given how he's surrounded by people with traumatic backgrounds, spanning from the deeply betrayed to the excessively abused. To those dark people, a softie like the MC is probably a breath of fresh air.

Anyways the novel is pretty good. There are a few plotholes here and there, but they're more like background/side-plot hiccups and not too serious. I decided not to take a star off for them because the overall concept and worldbuilding are really quite amazing and thorough in this novel. Most world mechanics are quite grounded and the revenge plot is interesting too. <<less

This is not a light novel

This is one of the twisted dark novel with unreliable narrator

If you want an OP MC, than this is not for you. Because he will became OP in the future, but it is slow paced

the worst world villain

So, I guess my hunch that he looks like Wei Wuxian on his way to become grandmaster of demonic cultivation is right. MC class as necromancer is definitely has a lot of negative impact toward MC. I hope he stay sane at the end of this novel

I recommend this to my fellow reader who love dark romance and want to read a bl novel with an fascinating world building <<less

I dont get people who are like "why is he such a white lotus" "why is he so weak?" "why is he so naive?" when all Lee Kyung has really done is be a normal person. He was some normal weak dude who suddenly got pushed into the world of the strong and cruel. He's not naive, he was just reacting the way a normal person would whereas all the new people he meets are very morally grey, so he does tend to stick out with his normal person values.... more>> And the more you read, the more you see how much Lee Kyung is growing as a person, no longer that weak and totally defenseless dude anymore. This novel, at the time I'm reading it, has over 500+ chapters (which seems like a lot but honestly it feels like I'm breezing through it the more I read), so of course it'll take some time, did you expect him to grow in the short first 100 chapters? The plot seems a little slow at first, but it starts becoming more and more interesting later on. It really frustrates me to see reviews (which either doesn't show where they're at in the novel/at a really early point in the novel) ignorantly comment and complain something about the novel that was deliberately put there for the sake of future plot and character development. I hope anyone who wants to read this novel is patient. It's certainly not your typical bl novel, but that's what makes it such a breath of fresh air. <<less

No, I have not read much of the story yet, but the fact that this story is like your typical Korean-modern dungeon novel, but with BL...

DAMN!

... more>> I'm going to binge read this later.

Edit: The MC is actually quite humane and thinks like a normal person does. He doesn't try to exaggerate anything and his reactions are what you would expect from any other person out there. Some may call him cowardly, but I think that if they were put in the same situation, their situation wouldn't be any better. I would also like to add that his initial personality may have been braver, but after so many setbacks, he is bound to have mellowed out somewhat. The ML is actually a bit of a flirt and he isn't a Yoo Jonghyuk (if y'all know what I mean) for once. The story itself is actually quite interesting (like many korean dungeon novels out there) and I'm looking forward to what's next! <<less

I feel this novel is not fit for inpatient people, those who have not realised the novel has 500+ chapters and have just stayed at chapter 80+ not even letting the characters develop.

MC is a weak (strength wise) *, low self-esteemed character who grew up in a toxic environment and was taken advantage of others (and mocked) so often leading to his own social isolation.

*Maybe a spoiler, but it's a lie that the Necromancer situation doesn't get a development. Again, if you're impatient enough to drop the story before that... more>> part, that is your problem, don't come here to slander the author saying they didn't explore MC's ability more, because that's not true. He gets more abilities, more understanding of what s Necromancer should do the risks and also the advantages, but once again progressively.

People say he's a whiney push-over, when in fact, he's just a broken person too scared to let himself open again to the world to be hurt.

Maybe a spoiler (? And, again, MC stops having to rely so much on his servants and starts to find himself patterns of attack and ways to solve instances and defeat monsters without having to engage in close combat.

Some people love the OP MC, weak to strong in 20 chapters MC, or the "was hurt and then blackened to become a merciless OP MC" troupes.

Yet this is not it.

MC is hurt and has not been given even a second to heal before he's thrown more and more problems, burdens and things that just wreck his mental health.

For those people saying MC is a weakling white lotus, could you take what MC has taken? Without breaking down? Without wanting to cuddle and cry you eyes out?

Personally, I wouldn't.

MC has yet to be put through so many hardships, we're still at the beginning of the story. MC has yet to have his character development, can't you give him a chance?

I'm currently at chapter 213 and I want to say, his character development IS starting, so for god's sake, be patient.

Not every MC can be your OP, strong-willed, determined MC, from the begining. Give Lee-kyung a chance.

MC's personality (Yes, he has one) :

He has a low self-esteem, fears people disliking him. He doesn't dare to stand his ground in front of his servants but scolds them internally. Cherishes interpersonal relationships like gold. May seem slow, but once he is explained what's happening he understands it real quick. Has been hurt so he has many insecurities. He can be chunnibyou at time. Tends overthink a lot! He is super sympathetic/empathetic. Looks forward to becoming better everyday and pushes himself harder than anyone because of this, to the point of overworking himself and damaging his health. Has the strength to withstand many mental blows, even if he seems to have a weak mind. He doesn't have the highest adaptability, but after sometime he forces himself to digest and overcome his trauma. He's a devoted person who just needs some counseling, some love and some people telling him he's done his best and has done great, because no one does it.

(Besides MC progress is pressed down at all times, information is being kept from him, he is constantly lied to, the people around him mansplain, manipulate and gas light him every day, he is told to do better when he's done his best and is never comforted when he feels he's about to break down, how could he possibly grow in those circumstances?)

ML's personality (Surprise! He does have one too!) :

He overthinks a lot, is a manipulator and has a tendency to control which is often addressed by his teammates and MC himself. Is considerate in his own strange way (? though his consideration may not be seen as such by others... He loves his teammates really much, he's s good leader, though not the greatest. He is a god-level gas lighter alongside his teammates, I'm not here to defend him. He's smart and many times he's an a**hole, he can deduce a whole plot having little information. Is not the best person teaching and has a strange love for money (? Can do anything to achieve his goals, he is determined and super strong-willed. Besides much of his personality is twisted due to some external issues explainer in the story.

As for ML, yes, I don't like him that much, but hey! They're not even together yet, MC is still discovering (thoroughly, because he has been doing so all the story), how much of a manipulative scum ML can be.

- Side characters are well (greatly) developed.

- The story is well thought.

- The plot is engaging.

- The world building is mind blowing.

-It has foreshadowing.

- The character development is prepared for throughout the story, though it start to actually develop until later

-And the writing is immersing.

Do you really want to give up such a great story for being impatient and not letting the story (500 ch long) take its flow? For the MC not having a character development in the early 80+ chapter which are only about a fifth of the story?

I mean, in my opinion, that is a pity. I love this story and I feel regretful watching so many people dropping it for not being able to understand how a character/plot development works.

That's all I have to say for the time being, I'll be adding thins as the story progresses. <<less

The MC lacks skills. He goes into a dungeon without researching boss attack patterns, weaknesses, etc. I think he is fine at first, he is inexperienced because necromancers are shunned so it's understandable. However, he became dumber when he met the male lead. You can probably say he is still weak but got an OP thigh.

This is BL so a lot of people might like this novel for the cute interactions. But the MC is really acting like a typical annoying bottom in every goddamn BL novels that don't portray... more>> bottoms as smart. Ch 100 already and he is still pathetic. <<less

Literally... everyone is good, the setting is good... Why is the MC so... disgusting and disappointing? You can’t say “Oh he’s so human just a reasonable guy”
Would a reasonable guy complain whine beg cry for everything yet does nothing? How can you not even know what necromancers can do???? Huh?? Wdym you never knew? Never deemed to explore? How can you say you’ve tried your best when all you did was be carried by other groups, and cry of “embarrassment and humiliation” when you get kicked out of the... more>> group?

Ohhh my godd.. I always avoid any story with weak MCs, , i’m fine if they show development, or just even their mentality gets better but this guy.... How are we the same age? Bro...

Needs to be spoon fed everything or else he’ll die type of guy. I’m sooOoOooOo sad bc I love Dawoon LeeKyung Garam Ok? In that societt how can you live with “just morals”??? Huh?? MC you’re pretending to have morals just to make yourself seem better than them playing good cop to their bad cop... Literally this MC whenever I see this type of character in real life you could never find me within 10m of them bc I know it’s just white lotus bullsh*t (easily destroys everything due to their incompetence but gets forgiven bc whine cry to their protectors)

Okay, the 2 stars are for the amazing premise and story building plus the translator frequently updating the novel with stellar translations. That's about it.

The Author enjoy portraying the MC as a hamster that cannot think for himself if not for the ghosts that now accompany him for their revenge in exchange for basically nothing. The novel starts off with an interesting premise that the necromancer class isn't good at all and that the MC is struggling in life extremely. His only way is to try and get an evolution... more>> material for his skeleton in a hard dungeon, this dungeon is where he meets the supposed ML.

In a hundred chapters, the only mention of his own family was in the first dozen chapters and an off reference of them in chapters 100~. Since he is a "user" his mother prides in him and sent him cash that he uses to go into the dangerous dungeon. After gaining money it never mentions him sending his family anything.

Spoiler:
Spoiler

The ghosts that then follow him are manipulative to the extreme. It's simple when you think of them wanting to fulfill their revenge and how the novel beautifully explains how their emotions are limited after being resurrected as an undead. This goes as far as my boundaries go with the MC though. The "hub" which contains most User information for some reason paints the Necromancer class as only useless as no one has explored it's full abilities. Which means the MC wouldn't ever be privy to the information the ghosts constantly bombard him with and look at him as if he's s*upid.

The longer these gazes of contempt continue the more the MC is insecure and the more he gets manipulated and distrusts them. Which lets the author build to the breakout chapter where I dropped the novel. The MC never verbalizes his own feelings and the 'facts' the ML pushes onto him covers his grievances with regret for his own outburst and 'realization that he's in the wrong'. The information related to the Necromancer class that the ghosts that were summoned can be attributed to becoming an undead and/or being a part of the largest guild before they were betrayed.

The character relationships in this novel cannot be seen as romantic. The 'romance' that is available is an MC who has a crush on the 'ML' but these feelings are not only unreciprocated but are uncovered and used against the MC.

[collapse]

Countless times the MC is portrayed as a hamster that is timid, cowardly and cannot bear burdens without his 'masters'. The author's characterization fails at this standpoint. The MC being exposed to his own mumblings being heard by his summons detrimentally affects him as that used to be the way he is able to think to himself and think aloud. With this avenue cut off, his thinking process is slow and skewed, the one's in total control become the ghosts he summoned. You'd think after the stuff that's happened the MC would have mustered the courage to at least speak up and retort to the manipulative ways of the 'ML'.

TL;DR: The relationship in the novel may as well be non-existent and it's barely BL (A one-sided attraction that is manipulative and based on the foundation of revenge is not a relationship.), the forced characterization of the MC to being a 'hamster' is off-putting and makes the MC a non-human who is timid and faint-hearted, the constant "gaze of contempt" that is directed to the MC forces the aforementioned characterization (For being dumb, for not knowing something 'obvious', for being 'weak', for being 'poor', for being 'timid', etc), and no mention of his family other than an off-handed remark a hundred chapters after they were mentioned.

I thank the translator for the time and effort they put in this novel, and it has entertained me up to this point. For my taste this was entertaining up until this point and for others who can endure this "character growth" this novel is for you. <<less

The first couple of chapters had a lot of info dumping but obviously it's vital as a start to the world building of the novel so you really do appreciate the explanations more down the line. The slow building of characters especially the MC has been really nice to read about. There's just so much we don't know, or aren't of it yet but rather we're being fed information slowly through the pov of the MC.

I also really enjoyed the morality (?) of certain situations, given that MC is a... more>> necromancer and well isn't really strong at the beginning it's interesting to see how he reacts to gorey and torture scenes that occur. The different relationships between the characters is really something that really appeals to me about this novel. Other than the ml, you really start to appreciate mc's interactions with others and seeing him slowly develop as both a character an a user.

The plot build up (as of yet being caught up with the translations that are available) is just...... amazing. I know the themes of 'dungeons' is a fairly common trope but this novel utilises it in such a great way. It's use of revenge as a driving theme for certain characters as well as this ongoing mystery MC must uncover with his new 'friends' really drives the plot forward.

Usually with these stories, I can sort of predict what's gonna happen in the mini arcs but with this novel I'm always taken back by some plot developments. Either they have me absolutely laughing in shock or just staring at my screen in anticipation.

The MC is relatable as hell right from the start especially with the way he ends up choosing his current 'class'.....I absolutely adore him T_T

The slow burn is *chefs kiss*, idk im rambling under this comment but oh my god is this story addicting to read.

It starts off as a kinda fun fruity typical Korean dungeon-crawling novel and then past the 100 chapter mark you really have to applaud the way they develop the characters.

1. The MC is an incredibly unreliable, insecure, and depressive narrator who you just want to cuddle, protect, encourage, and (sometimes) slap. His inner dialogue can feel painfully real - especially those who see their low self esteem and catastrophic thinking patterns mirrored in him.

2. The ML is not all powerful and all knowing and a carbon cut out devoted archetype... more>> - he's cheeky, charismatic, clearly obsessed with the MC but also kind of wishy washy and scummy. And he's definitely not perfect. This is both a win and a source of frustration. You're constantly mirroring the MC's uncertainty and frustration over his ambiguous behaviour but he's so damn charming. 3. The main antagonists are really fascinating and multidimensional as well and I love that you get sometimes get their POVs and use this to mentally piece together what led up to the big betrayal.

i won't say this is a definite 5 star but I do think 4.3 is underrating it slightly when compared to its fellow novels. It's not an amazing story but it's a compelling one and it's got a very clear plot centred around revenge that is easy to stay invested in. It's also not often that you find webnovels that try to shape relatively unique or complex characters and I think thats worth celebrating. Plus, all of these factors are nicely packaged in with very solid world building and a looming mystery behind that. So many mysteries to be solved! <<less

This novel tickles as a guilty pleasure from how much tension there is. The chapter length varies.

If you adore the type of protagonist you can call son and then sell him off to his ill-mannered spectres, then this novel is the one for you. He's more of a sore loser than a white-lotus. I wouldn't say it was teasing but more like bullying, at least with how willful they are. It also established that MC already had MM inclinations early in the story, he's just reluctant. That aside, there is found family aspects to this story. It might have all began because of contractual circumstances, but the specters are having fun with it.
Spoiler

So far in my hamster son's family harem:
-a dog like skeleton monster

-sugar daddy, dungeon meta master
-a super sub redhead
-a mischievous cutie
- (psycho chimera)
-badass antagonistic paladin
-*new* homophobic, pretty boy DPS

Love all the characters. Although I'm more used to danmei novels, Korean Bl sure has its own uniqueness.

The story had an amazing start, but I eventually lost interest the more I read. If you're looking for your typical gate dungeon story like I was, then this story is not for you. It's more based on revenge and making the people who killed the ghosts the MC has get payback, which is not really my thing. The start has more focus on the dungeoning part, which is what kept my interest. Unfortunately, as the story progresses it turns into a revenge story rather than the MC and ML... more>> plus the deceased members of the ML's ghosts going into gate dungeons together. The relationship between the MC and the ML is... meh. At the start, they were really cute together but gradually I feel like the author kind of forgot how MC and ML acted like? MC is reduced to just a cute blob while ML is super possessive and doesn't really have much of a character, and from what I remember at the beginning it wasn't like that. The romance is just not really there in the later chapters, even though there is more 'spicy' stuff happening. This story is just not for me tbh. The world building in this is nice, it's just a shame it's not really expanded on after the story starts leaning to the revenge plot. <<less

It’s soo fun!!!!!!!

the plot, the characters, the world building is flowing really nicely. The translation is also very top notch!

mc- choi leekyung is a very fun and realistic person. His responses are so relatable and cute! He’s not cliche, accepts criticism, hardworker, but also would complain which is very humane. He’s also very empathetic. He’s very human, his character might be my absolute favorite.

the fights scenes are very exciting! The power level tropes are explained carefully and although, yes, in the first few chapters there are a lot info dumps,... more>> but they are fairly interesting to read and useful for us to continue reading, to familiarize readers with gaming jargons for people who do not play games.

and also!!! For all the people who said leekyung is oblivious and irritating, you are very VERY WRONG.

Spoiler

I think leekyung’s pretty reasonable. Before all of this, he’s just a regular guy. And although it’s implied in the first few chapters that he might have no interest in girls, he still has zero experience in love. Also, all of their relationships are contract based.

Although we can see that somehow both garam and dawon seems to be a little overprotective and defensive towards sangyoon regarding leekyung, it could also be taken from leekyung’s perspective because he’s literally the red lotus’s lifeline and success factor of the revenge.

And then about sangyoon, we can see his attitude change came abruptly with the contract establishment, so ofc leekyung would think that any changes in sangyoon for now is the influence of the contract. It’s not that he’s oblivious, he’s normal.

One last point is that all 3 of them (sangyoon, garam, dawoon) are practically celebrities, hell, even dawoon has the image of an unattainable man, so hypothetically, if you’re in leekyung’s position (a regular person), would you think that these high quality men are simultaneously in love with you? I think not.

Dropped it after 80 chapters. It will be a good novel IF MC has bs, nasty personality. I can’t stand a naive, nice, indecisive MC go along with a full of jealousy, nasty, evil, arrogant son of a b*tch ml. I wish they are both nice or they are both a**hole.

The reality is ML do all the thing that annoy MC to death but get away with it cause

1. He is pitiful

... more>> 2. He is much much stronger than mc

3. He is handsome

4. MC is kinda a pushover

ML is a very problematic child and all will be good if MC also has a nasty personality, they can do evil deeds together, laugh at the victims pain, struggle and make pp life miserable. But MC is just hella nice and I dont like it when ML (a servant) keep doing whatever he like, regardless of it will put MC in a difficult situation or make him really uncomfortable. It all will be fine if he only minding his own business and that business not gonna effect MC or make MC feel annoyed, helpless but then that won’t make those fan girl happy so arthur just say no and create an annoying f*cker ml. I hate couples that love isn’t built on weighting the important of each other feeling, one just do whatever they want without any consent, and the other one just put up with all kind of bs and can love unconditionally. <<less
