    Currently, up to chapter 6, so this is an early review. I will change my review after more chapters are up, if need be. This is my first time reviewing a webnovel in this site so hopefully I don't end up screwing everything up.
    Overall, I like this webnovel and think you should read it. Defintely a gem here.
    Style:
    The webnovel is written in simple prose but I don't see this as a negative. The author clearly has a good handle on the English language.
    It's written in first person and its the worldview of the MC that sells this webnovel for me. Dark but funny.
    The writing makes plenty use of irony. A plus for me as that shows the author is not simply spewing words on paper but has put thought on sentence and paragraph construction.
    If you like simple prose that is crisp and clear, you're going to love this one.
    Story:
    Here we find the gold nugget.
    I'm not sure were the story is going exactly but I'm excited to find out. From what I can tell, it's about questions surrounding existentialism. Albert Camus is cited several times by the MC.
    This leads me to believe the story of this webnovel is about finding meaning in a seemingly meaningless world. The MC is being confronted by several worldviews (spoilers: like the one from the vampire who sees humans as nothing more than cows or the pastor's kid who wants to help everyone).
    I don't have a degree in literature or something but that's my guess. I'm curious to find out if the MC is going to change his rather nihilistic out look in life.
    But I'm a simple guy, I want to see the MC control hordes of zombies and other undead creatures.
    Grammar:
    So far so good. There are a few mistakes here and there but compared to other webnovels here, it's acceptable
    Character:
    This is the bread and butter of this webnovel. Lucius, the MC, is the central pillar of this book
    *SPOILERS*
    I think we can all agree that dissolving your uncle's body just to stay away from foster care is a big no no. But I can understand why he did it. I don't agree
