I really like this story, it manages to keep going strong over its full length.
I just read the first 300+ chapters in one go and it kept evolving and changing, while still keeping the same charm and feel the whole way through.
Many stories with such a long runtime either get stale or (d)evolve into something completely different, but this story managed to thread the needle and keep me engaged the whole way through.
Hat off to the author I'm really impressed and happy to have found this, keep up the good work.

I started this story some weeks ago and caught up to the current chapters in no time. Now im waiting every evening for the next chapter. The story ist great and the main character Sofia is really likable. The story also takes a different twist to the necromancy genre, which I enjoyed very much and looking forward to reading more about it. The system in the story is also very interesting and the worldbuilding feels slow but good.
In my opinion this story is a recomandation for every fan of a good LitRPG, necromancy story or just a good story.

I was not the biggest fan of the audiobook, but that was more of a personal preference issue. It still got me hooked and I've since finished the rest of the available chapters and I am really enjoying it so far. I like the characters quite a bit, especially the fact that we don't see some of them for a good chunk of chapters just to have them come back into the mix with their things going on and their own progression. Overall, very well written and I will be following this one for the foreseeable future.

My only negative comment is that it wasn't finished when I started reading it. Because by god. There's a lot of hooks set, but as someone who enjoys the loop of getting stronger, this is fun. It's also a unique take on how people get to higher levels. Despite the name, there is an alarming lack of skeleton density, but I'm willing to hold my breath.

I really like the style of writing that the author has, I was originally thinking that this was going to be going in a different direction than it has, and I am basically all caught up. The pacing can be a bit odd at times, but that gives more room for the background to creep up around us and let us learn more about the world that we are immersing in. I personally like that the MC doesn't realize the gravity of her situation and the dragons had to set her straight. My favorite character is her first skeli, maybe bookie too, but the first one is... well grown on my for sure. I think that the cosmetic changes that shows what she has been through is a good touch as well, and reminds me of things that happened when they are brought up. I am stuck in the dungeon arc where it slowed down some, but now I have time to read again! I want to blitz the rest of the chapters released the rest of the way, and I hope you all will give it a try if you haven't yet.

Saintess Summons Skeletons is a fun romp that starts with an unlikely protagonist wanting to be a Necromancer. We get to follow Sofia on her her journey as she meets, interacts with, and creates a variety of interesting side characters as she goes from the mundane desire of wanting to be a mere Necromancer to something even greater. The story feels fresh and makes use of the tropes of its genre exceptionally well. At no point did the use of Sofia's powers or abilities feel tired and the pacing of the novel flows from scene to scene quite well.
If I had a single complaint about the novel it is that, at times, Sofia seems rather scatterbrained or so overwhelmed with potential goals that there is no focus on the resolution of some of them. The novel does a great job to explain away many of these things within the story as the protagonist not meeting the level requirements to achieve those particular goals. While this helps the story narratively there could be a tightening of the overall story progress that would allow one goal to flow into another instead of leaving behind a laundry list of things to be done. On the other hand, it is quite feasible that this could be a character trait for our overachieving protagonist and not a deficiency in the story - which only time will tell as more of the story is released.
I recommend Saintess Summons Skeletons - the story is well written, the characters are fun, and it is a great read to chew up a few afternoons.

I like this story so far. It started off pretty strong, with an interesting premise and interesting class mashup that I hadn't seen before. I'll definitely continue reading it.
If I had to offer one critique it would be that there doesn't appear to be any continuous plot thread. If this were a man vs nature story of survival, I wouldn't comment on it, but there seems to have been plenty of opportunity to introduce a through plot and it hasn't really come around yet. Hopefull it will come about soon, but until then I'll just try to enjoy the ride.

Overall, this story is quite good! The LitRPG aspects are complex enough to be interesting while also remaking simple to understand. The story and progression are well paced and the wonderful writing makes it a hard story to put down. The characters all feel well fleshed out and have good character progression in both stats and their persona as a whole. A chefs kiss and my compliments the the Che- er, author!

This is a good one everyone! Necromancer stories are generally interesting cause it causes so many problems: where and how do you get the corpses? Is there a manual like How to care your undead army? How many liters of blood can you keep in storage and for how long?
Maybe this novel will answer those, maybe not, what's for sure is the system is super interesting in the way it works, the worldbuilding is slow and steady which makes it more realistic. The best thing is the MC, she has such a chaotic neutral energy without being omnisicient-like or crazy, makes it much more entertaining and endearing.
Eager to see what comes next, if you like Litrpg stories this one is for you, and if you dont like them, I would still give it a shot.

This is a really fun read. The MC is growing at an insane rate, something that continues to be pointed out by other powerful being around her. Thankfully there is a consistent set of challenges for her to keep her from feeling too broken. Hopefully the author slows down a little in the level progression and brings her skills and supporting cast up to par, or just does a little more world interaction.
