The Dark Healer #1
I had lain down in my crypt to rest for a few decades, but when I awoke, centuries had passed. My castle is in ruins, my clan is gone, and necromancers are considered just a fairytale for children.
They take me for a healer. That’s because the world is sick. And it’s time for strong medicine.

Self insert fanfiction
This is one of the most self insert characters I've read in a while. Every male character is stupid, and Pos and every women is in love with him including his grand daughter and he is good at everything including physical fighting so he can show off his fanfiction main character abilities for the lady's. Almost nothing plot related happens in this book it's just about the author making his self insert main character impress all the women and be good at everything

A confused story, not confusing, confused
Not a bad story, but also not a good one.
The MC switches between formal language and very informal, colloquial, language within the same sentence. And uses modern turns of phrase that he should have no idea what they mean. A small thing, but a pet peeve that makes my teeth itch.
There is also a certain amount of sexism in this book. The MC having archaic attitudes towards women would be understandable given his birth time, but the women in the book are written to be those stereotypes, either vapid or shrewish.
Finally, this should be a fish out of water story, but within days of awakening from a millennia long nap is perfectly at home in the modern world.
Not a bad idea, but poor execution. Tom out

Uggh... A main character who faces no challenge and a dull setting.

Pretty good
I enjoyed the book but my modern day morals and sensibility kept me from rating it higher. Ew, a carriage made out of people. It's one of those might makes right books. A few more tweaks in pov this could have been a true horror book about a necromancer who came back to conquer the world...

Excellent
Well paced and organized. The world is interesting, but you’re told what you need to know as it becomes relevant. The protagonist is powerful enough to be direct without being brainless. The supporting characters do their job, but this isn’t The Brothers Kharamozov. It’s high quality junk food reading that will keep you entertained.

This was entertaining enough. Even though the MC's mannerisms don't always make sense for the time period he supposedly just woke up from. He occasionally uses modern sayings and words. The MC can either be a "cool kid" (in the modern sense) or a refined older gentleman; not both. The authors want to have it both ways.

Excellent
Nice magic system, logical mix of technology and magic. Great story line. Refreshing take on Necromancer, not dark at all.

I did not finish this book… I gave it to stars because it was available on Kindle unlimited and fairly readable. However, the rest of the books in the series are not available on Kindle unlimited and I’m not enjoying it enough to purchase them. I’m not sure if there are some cultural differences as I believe the authors are Eastern European or something, but there is rampant misogyny and dismissal of women in a lot of of these books by authors from Russia or surrounding countries. It’s irritating and disrupts any kind of decent story.

Entertaining
I try and take it easy on the first book of any new series and make a distinction between the quality of the writing versus my personal preferences. The writing for the most part was solid. If I had voice a criticism it would be that there are a few points throughout the book in which the supporting characters are face with what should be a difficult decision and yet their response is simply flat or simplistic. As an example we have a character who owns, for lack of a better description, a mercenary type company that goes into these portal like zones to clear monsters and retrieve resources. He's had to take out loans to help him put together this organization and in theory it is something that he cares quite a bit about and has worked very hard for only to have the main character show up and essentially say you serve me now and thus all of this is mine to which his responses yeah sure whatever that's cool. Now setting at criticism to the side for the moment, I was entertained by the story. I do like these type of stories where there is some overpowered main character either a monster from the past or a genius from the future trying to navigate life out of his or her time. I simply wish that there had been more depth to this story. I can't help but compare this story to others like it who do it better. At the end of the day though a first book in my experience tends to be a shaky endeavor even from trying true authors. I don't know this Duo's background and this is the first time I've read anything from them. When it comes to the sequel I'm basically looking for everything that may the first book worth reading and then a little more. It is cool that this book was available through the Kindle unlimited program, however considering that it isn't an iron strong first step into the series, it makes it highly unlikely that I would purchase the sequel. I make this distinction because the rest of the series is not available through the Kindle unlimited. But making only the first book available I can see them trying to pull in readers, but with that strategy the first book needs to be a lot better than what it was. Especially when you take into account alternative stories that you can Avail yourself of such as The Alchemist or the Healer.

Simple premise with good world building. However horrible editing.
The basic storyline is simple and interesting. I enjoyed the world building in the magic system in clans that the book created. But a huge flaw here is the editing. Mostly it's the characters inner dialogue in spoken dialogue that breaks the immersion of the story and kills the pace. Do you have a 1400-year-old character that is new to the modern world and word, but constantly using colloquialisms and modern dialogue, it ruins the storytelling. Simple example is the main character made a reference to a supporting cast that he was a quote "gun nut". Most of the language used makes me believe that the authors are very young, and unfortunately that doesn't translate well when a character is supposed to be 1400 years old which predates the Middle ages. There are multiple characters that have centuries of age and yet they speak as if they're teenagers or in their twenties.
This wouldn't be an issue if they were acting a part however these issues come up during situational events and inner dialogue expositions that just ruin any believability that these characters have age and wisdom. Another issue, although not huge it is a simple storytelling, is that the main character always just exhibits yet another power to get out of a situation. The believability that his powers been diminished until he regains strength is lost because whenever he needs that strength, he's able to create something or do something. This again ruins the storytelling because it is just choppy and feels forced.
Overall there's nothing really wrong with the story and I enjoyed the world building, the book was interesting but I don't know if it's enough to want to read further books in the series. I think the books were written on 8th to 9th grade level and that may be the issue.

Disappointing
I thought this book would be good, but it was honestly disappointing. The characters acted oddly, with the female character being absolutely fine with the main character killing a bunch of people. The book needs an editor to fix the places where the authors switched between present and past tense, and also switched between first and third person when it randomly switched perspectives to random people.
The main character didn’t have struggle at all. He was competent in everything he did.
The world building was severely lacking. What is “Abomination?” Was this story written in the “real” world or was it a fictional world? I think it was the real world because the technology was the same, and the year was 2024, but the location wasn’t clear. The book had what felt like a feudal system in place, but in the modern era. Why? Why was the main character able to kill the people who bugged him but have no consequences from the law? The book had police officers in it, so I assume there were laws, but the only thing they did was pull the car over because the female character was on her phone. The book implied that the use of magic was normal, but I wanted more details about how the society functioned. I just thought the world building was lacking.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this book had been originally written on Royal Road or something like that and gained a lot of popularity, so the writers decided to go and publish it without doing anything else…

I received a review copy of this book.
The Dark Healer I'm generally not a fan of zombie books, I know I say that regularly when one of these LitRPG zombie type stories come up, so anyone who reads these reviews regularly is probably aware of this,, but I have to say, this is the first time I've heard of a necromancer that actually heals folks. Raising zombies is only a secondary activity in persuit of his goals. Very interesting story, and I expect many LitRPG fans will enjoy this one, despite the lack of nice crunchy stats. There is *some* leveling, so it's fair game for the LitRPG label, but I'm seriously hoping we see more LitRPG like elements in future books.
The translator of this book had a quirk in translation, they kept writing organism instead of body, so just be aware of that, it threw me the first few times I saw that one, but this isn't nearly enough to downgrade the rating of the story. I liked this one, and look forward to more in the series.

Necromancer really do get a bad rap. Here Maximilian Richter is the Prince of Necromancers, in the past he had dominated the magical world. But he needed a break and he decided to go to sleep to rest and to recharge. What he did not plan for was to sleep for 1000 years.
When he returns the fun starts. Max got sback to his "Castle" which has been ruined as well as most of his lands. The Richters did not prosper into the future. Max plans to make a comeback. He discovers his modern time Niece. After a couple things she believes he is family.
Necromancers are viewed as Abomination filters. People need them to not be poisoned. Max equates it to a Healer. This begins a run for Max to use the fact he is viewed as a Healer to his advantage.
This is a entertaining series. Can't wait to keep reading it.

3.8 stars. This was a surprisingly enjoyable read. I liked the premise of a once powerful and respected figure waking up in a changed world and having to rebuild from a place of loss. That part of the story felt compelling and gave the book enough momentum to stay engaging throughout. It was easy to get into and easy to keep going.
The writing itself is on the casual side, and the execution overall is not that strong, which makes the story feel lighter and simpler than the plot actually is. Some character dynamics and emotional shifts are also not shown clearly, which adds to that effect. Still, it works well as a relaxed, low-pressure read. I am not in a hurry to continue the series, but I would pick up the next book if it goes on sale.

fun story of a top-dog, OP necromancer wizard, awakened in a very-much-like-current-society, from one thousand years slumber, who finds himself forgotten in a completely changed world. #WhatCouldGoWrong.
though there are some mentions of levels, magic and dungeons, I'm fitting this book on the very outer edge of the litRPG genre.
if you enjoy the theme, the writing style, and the overall godlike character awaken oblivious to modern society this book reads a lot like "Dead Tired" by RavensDagger. #Recommend
I want to continue the series, when on sale. funny and fast paced, I think I start liking necrolords :)

2.75 An in between read. I would give this a three, but every now, and then the writers would tell instead of show, even if they didn’t really need to. It wasn’t often but it did knock my out the story more then once. Also, I’m hope the granddaughter gets developed more. (Not a fan of her being disappointed that she wouldn’t be sleeping with him JUST AFTER she found out they were related,) I enjoy stories where a bunch of a-holes get knocked down a peg or two by a more powerful (but lovable) a-hole, but it can be tricky keeping the lovable a-hole lovable. I hope these authors can pull it off. I liked Max enough that I’m getting the next book. Hopefully, I’ll like the next book even better.

I've actually enjoyed this series on audio, but I have to admit, the writing leaves A LOT to be desired. How much of it is due to it being translated i can't say, but some of these issues are bad enough (and prevalent enough throughout the series) that it does somewhat ruin the story at times.
Max Richter has spent the last several centuries in a deep sleep, and is supposedly woefully out of touch with the current times - yet right from the start, this guy is constantly using modern phrases and references (he often describes himself as "face palming" for instance). It's baffling (i don't think it's purely an issue of translation) because this could've been easily avoided! Worst of all, it's bad enough that it really does destroy would could have been some great world building.
As for the supposed sexism, ehhhh I didn't feel like there were many issues here, I mean it's not even comparable to the level of other books i've read in this genre (not even close!). Sure, Max's attitude towards women is pretty patronizing, but the same could be said of his attitude towards men.

FINALLY!
An actual well written book!
I was beginning to suspect all books in this genre were sappy, save the world, trash.
This book actually has a protagonist who behaves rationally because it is in his self interest to do so. Not because he has a quest, or wants to save his family or stray puppies. I despise touchy-feely, unrealistic and overly altruistic main characters. Who can relate to such nonsense like that in our 2024 dog eat dog world?
I like escapism as much as anyone, but it has to be rational and believable to be enjoyable.

Wow, that was fun! I loved Max a necromancer. I used to not get books when the MC was a necromancer, but I've learned that necromancers can be fightin for a good cause! And this is what happens when you accidentally take a 100 year nap 😴. You hafta clean things up... and boy there's a lotta garbage to despose of! What's more of all the powerful companions to have, you wouldn't expect that a small Shadow Lizard could do so much.
Well you know the drill, get the book and have some fun!
Here's a quote for ya:
“Our new automobile,” I said calmly. “A chimeramobile.”

I've seen this pop out of no where, and I have a feeling it's a knock off of The Healer's Way. We will see.
So far the book is like other Russian authors recently (I assume the author is Russian). Powerful person that is not so powerful anymore tries to integrate into society, and rebuild their power. Oh. I forgot the protag is usually an aristocrat.
This was okay. I might try the sequel. I think the author also has another series. Looks Harem though, or maybe I'm misremembering.

I stand by necromancers being slightly late healers but that only appears occasionally here
what do you get when a necromancer accidentally over sleeps on their fifty year nap? shenanigans; especially when the world has started using a magical energy source, that slowly poisons most, for all modern comforts.
Max the former high noble finds himself in a world not too dissimilar from ours but openly magical. why did he oversleep? can he find his clan? and what do you mean someone is living in his stables?!

Surprisingly, I ended up enjoying this more than I expected. That said, there were moments when the main character would go on about how they can do all these amazing things once they're fully powered up, but for now, they can only do a little. Honestly, it felt like a waste of space—it would have been better if the character just got on with it and mentioned that they'd do more later with a sigh.
The ending also felt like something straight out of an '80s TV show with its cliffhanger. It was a bit frustrating.

A really solid and novel story. There are some parallels in setup to Dead Tired, but at the same time feels like an isekai from a fantasy world into our world. Or at least, a world that's half way between a typical fantasy world and our world. Smart phones, TVs, cars, all that. But it's all magitech, albeit of a magical energy source that is antithetical to the world's innate magic, which still exists, but mages are overall a lot weaker than before Max went into convalescence, because the abomination energy (as he calls it) has a corrupting factor.

Despite myself I enjoyed this
Despite myself I enjoyed this. What I mean by that is when the MC starts on the I can do all this cool stuff when I'm powered up but for now all I can do is this... That's just a waste of words, it would go better if the MC just did what he could with a sigh and saying he will be able to do more later
The ending was cheap 80's tv as well where we're left with a cliff hanger. That is just annoying

Necromancy is the practice of communicating with the dead.
I have been a Science Fiction/Fantasy reader most of my life but only recently discoverd Russian authors. This series isn't like a normal fantasy novel topic. It's protagonist is Necromancer and he is not evil, the series focus is more in line with hum I never thought about it like that before. I like it and I am sure you will as well.

Very similar to the "healers way" series but much better paced.
The protagonist is a bit too op from the start but the story is good and entertaining. At the start the women were a bit too swooning towards the protagonist for my taste but luckily this ebbed down fast.
Pros: well paced and plot takes place innan interesting setting
Cons: card board characters, the cadaver car is rather unbelievable

Series not available on KU
Decent book. Writing needs a little work, and the character needs to have some more interesting depth than “is good at everything, more powerful than everyone.”
I took away three stars because the series is a bait and switch - literally the definition of it. The authors bait you with the first novel being part of KU and none of the rest of the series is. I was considering reading the second until I saw that.

This book is so comically bad that I kept reading. From the casual misogony and 2-dimensional characters to the constant anachronisms, like the 1400 year old guy comparing people to high school children or referring to a document he supposedly wrote after he went to sleep for a 1000 years. The characters are flat and unbelievable, and the writing is God awful. I have no idea how it got such a high average review rating!

Pulp fiction
An okay book fast paced but shorter than a Novello. Which is fine love a bit of pulp fiction in this genre and kindle unlimited allows me to read to my hearts content, but and here it comes all following bookes are almost £8 for what is a very short book. Honestly if your into necromancer with a bit of humor rhere are much better funnier books out there that also aren't incredibly shot and feel like half a book.
