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 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.

Good story, good characters, no grammar mistakes if i recall correctly. Good. I like the
half skill things that she can put together to make new skills
and i like how most heroes experience terrible pain during summoning (as would make sense for teleporting from one world to another). One of the only LitRPGs I actually like.

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.

It's really good story. It's pretty rare for me find any good female lead stories, it has almost all important aspects of good story like consistent story progression, humour and good characters with actual personality. So in short I love so keep it up Mornn, love to read your story

I highly recommend you read this series. I enjoyed it so much, I bought the first book, and read the next 322 chapters in the span of three days. Sophia is a great character, and the world is very interesting. Mornn has a really nice writing style that keeps the action flowing, while still also focusing on interesting world and system building in between. You should read this. You should follow this, you should favorite this. Then, because you will be thoroughly addicted, you should sub to the Patreon for even more skeleton goodness. I promise you will enjoy this story.

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 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.

I'm not really the type to leave reviews since I mostly just lurk, chill, and read. But now that I've caught up to the latest chapter, I want to start to change that because I think this fic deserves a review. It's a whole load of fun. The side characters are like likable and so is the MC. For people who are new to RR, this is a good story to start with!

This is a very entertaining story. It moves along at a good pace, which is a relief to read after some of the stories on RR that seem to go for 50 chapters without really accomplishing anything.
Honestly I can't think of any big downsides for the story. Other than maybe a few tonal inconsistencies in the beginning before the story settles down into more of a light and humorous tone.
