Me encanta la historia, sería bueno que su título de emperatriz pudiera evolucionar a algo que le permita ser una fuerza a tener en cuenta más que solo ser un personaje que solo gobierne o brinde apoyo, cómo habilidades de campo o de ataques de energía o devorar vitalidad en un rango amplio.

While yes, I'm sure there's some things that Scott could work on in his writing, he always amazed me with his dedication to researching everything for his novels.I've read up to his latest Patreon chapters, and the amount of philosophy and we'll thought out ideas impress me. These novels are not just whimsical power fantasies. They are flawed characters in unjust situations that make the best of what they've got. Well thought out in comparison to a lot of other web novels I've read. Rather than just write a chapter without much thought, Scott has been crafting a wide web of stories which obviously have a great plan to them.I enjoy reading Scott's novels and look forward to seeing what comes next.

This story has a great opening act, and everything is done very well upto this point. But we're reaching the end of the opening act, and I've seen many stories falter at that point. We're not there yet, so 5 stars. Perhaps I'll come and lower it later though.

I will preface this by simply saying yes. Yes. And yes some more.Style Score: I love the style of world and character description. The method of writing, and the deep story that is still evolving. It all lends towards an amazing setting that I can't get enough of!Story Score: I love the story so far. It's deep, detailed, and has a sense of history that we are only scratching the surface of. The writing lends gravitas to the fact that multiple worlds are involved, with potentially more world's to come. The rich descriptors, developing story arc, and progression leave me wanting to read more, and faster, just so I can get more.Grammar Score: neat, tidy, and clean. Easily understandable and easy to read. Some big paragraphs here and there, but you gotta splain stuff sometimes. No errors that I could find, punctuation was solid and enjoyable.Character Score: These characters aren't shallow. Except for Demon, cause he is apparently literal miasma and has no depth. They are well written, emotionally investable, and relatable. I would go to the same lengths to save my parents too. The Demon fella has some serious ego issues, and I can see him being an on and off antagonist/protagonist ally in the coming chapters.Overall Score: five stars bro. I love the fiction. It's solid, rounded, progressive, and has me cringing, crying, and wanting to collude in all right places. I am definitely invested. Gonna keep reading and following.If your other fictions are on this level then I will be checking those out as well.

Most of hrdcore undead lovers thought that the time of good unded empires stories were coming to an end, and we grieved. But now! Now we see there's still hope for the undead!! Now we can once again watch an undead's empire Rise to Glory! Now there's a new story that hails from Royal Road and that soon will be known across the Internet!Don't read BEFORE CHAP 10, potential SPOILERSNow after that, the serious review ("serious").For now it has an intereting start, I'm not sure if it could count as reincarnation, but it sure as hell counts as isekai. Next thing, masacre. It still hasn't been overlygraphic and I don't know if I should hope for graphic gore scenes or not, because honestly I don't feel like they would add anything good to this story.Another thingy, there's a real Devil!!!! Not those typical stuck up devils we normaly see, but one that feels like a manipulative and really powerful one.

This is an interesting story. Not a standard trope. The story starts with a deadly encounter. And a transformation/ class event for the MC. And there is no tutorial mode startup either, poor MC is dropped in at the deep end. Obviously has difficulty adjusting at first, but luckily she has an epic class and can summon (really good) help. The helpers are also interesting characters.in my opinion the first 9 chapters are basically a prologue while the new empress is making her way to her new base and getting her initial team together. Main story arc is just starting in chapter 11 or so.While there was a tricky startup (starting a noob MC in DOOM mode is not easy on an author) this is shaping up into an excellent story with an unusual trope.

Fair warning this story has multiple POV and is great with that to develop the characters but if that is something you don´t like don´t blame the author for it.It is a bit dark at the start and it will not be every´s readers cup of tea with Undead rising to build an empire for their Empress in a fantasy world after the once Human girl now Lich Empress was kidnapped from Earth to a new world with magic and monsters.It is a litrpg where the system does not show everything and you need to desire and ask the right question to find out which skill you have and how to advance them.The world is nicely built and has shown now multiple intelligent species form Toad People to Salamanders, Spiders and mutated Gorillas.If you want to read about an Empire on the rise in a strange world it hit the right spot but it needs time and it will you also show the perspective of those that are conquered.

StoryA girl get transported to a fantasy world along side her parents and a bunch of strangers. During this process she is transformed and gains access to necromancy. Using these powers she starts her own empire, utilitzing war and espionage among other things.SettingThe fantasy world shefinds herself in is fairly unique. Let's just say you shouldn't expect any elves, dwarfs or goblins. The world is also fairly gender equal, however if someone is badass most of the time you'll find that their female. This does not come off as the author taking a political stance. You'll also find the setting isn't strictly medieval but as of right now there isn't any guns or anything like that.StyleIt's written in third person and does not shy away from taking more than one person's perspective. However it does not show the same event from multiple perspectives.PositiveI like the unusual fantasy creatures and societies and the slow pace. While the main characters are very strong it's justified and they do face equally strong opponents(not always tho). The system is also quite complex and the cast large.NegativesRather than settle their own city the cast finds a abandoned over powered city that offers a lot toconvenientperks. In terms of expressing litrpg aspects it's also rather limited. While you could say it info dumps, it's more like the protagonist is told about her system by her aids and summarize it for the reader. That being said I don't really have any suggestions about how to improve this.SidenoteNot sure where you can find any right wing propaganda, that an other reviewer apparently found. It's a dictatorship since it's a empire sure, but it's far from ethnocentric, preachy or anything like that

Book 1 and 2 establish the genre as kingdom and army building, but by the middle of book 3 the genre changes to mythos, mystery, and adventure.The writing is good and I'm sure the quality of the narrative is the same, but the genre it has changed to is not why I originally started reading. I'm just not interested in the new direction.I'm sure the author can agree that book 1 is a bit too slow, but to meet the word count I'll also mention I dislike the use of the LitRPG elements. It has a level of depth that washes over you. DefectivebyDesign said it best in the comments of B1-40. (Personal gripe ahead...)The status page has a level of depth that overwhelms you. The denominations of power are arbritary - from colours, to proficiency, numbers, to directly telling you Elinor is relatively "extremely weak" in a certain category compared to...compared to what? Nobody can keep track of this, and if they could it would matter little as the power dynamics change constantly, as they should, except the status page can't seem to match the changes in the story, not even from the beginning.
