Self-Necromancy: A Dark Fantasy LitRPG

Rate this book
Kidnapped, buried alive, and attacked by monsters, Kalvin's having a terrible day. If this is what he gets for crawling out of his grave, maybe staying dead was the better option?

When Kalvin wakes up, having been buried alive in a graveyard, he figures it was a hospital error, an easy mistake for them to make since he’d been half-dead and on life support for years. But when the entire cemetery comes alive and everyone begins to claw their way to the surface, he figures it might not have just been a mistake.

Kalvin doesn't get long to contemplate his unlife, though, before he and the other grave crawlers find themselves torn apart by rampaging monsters- only to wake up clawing his way out of the grave once more.

Trapped in a terrifying, impossible time loop, dying just to be reborn once more in an endless cycle, it's up to Kalvin to find a path out of this nightmare.

Really good

I quite enjoyed this book. The MC is wonderfully broken. That ultimately makes him a better and more well-rounded character. Do yourself a favor and pick up this book.

Highly recommended.

Novel take on necromancy

Solid read, good world building, interesting mc. Definitely a new way to handle necromancy. If you are a fan of the menocht loop, and tower climbers, give this a go. I can't wait for the next.

Pretty great 1st book

Hopefully there'll be more. I enjoy leveling up, time loops, litrpg books. This hit all the right spots. Not too dark and not raising the dead to serve or fight for you despite title.

An awesome unique take on a Necromancer. A great time loop progression Litrpg, interesting side characters, and an interesting world that throws you in at the deep end (along with the mc)

The author never explains what is wrong with the MC. Does he have leprosy? Nor how everyone continually awakens in the graveyard.

Note to self: not for me. Too much of a downer for my preference.
