    ★★★ 2.5
    When I originally made this review the fiction was broken.  The author had pasted his prologue chapter into the synopsis. I gave a very low rating and left this review to explain the low score, as I feel leaving anonymous low ratings below 2 is a dick move.
    Now I'm stuck with reviewing the fiction at two chapters since the author fixed the upload mistake.  This is way earlier than is reasonable to assess a novel normally but here we are. There are a couple things I don't like so far.
    First, the dialogue is awkward and forced, very unnatural. It's hard to like any characters because they talk like programmed animatronic robots.
    Second, the MC is the worst kind of "step on my testicles, please!" doormat weakling. This is a very popular trope from Japanese light novels and anime, but I personally can't stand this type of character. His best friend and his girlfriend were sleeping together behind his back, while simultaneously his best friend cheats by bribing a teacher to take MC spot as Valedictorian. What does MC do? Nothing but a little mental whiny "poor me" dialog? Why even go on the Euro-trip?
    This loser needs a complete personality transplant.  Based on the title he is going to become a necromancer, maybe he can raise a girlfriend from the dead, be less likely to go out on him.
