Summary

Oberon Blackphoenix almost united all the races on his part of the world. It would have meant a term of peace yet unheard of. Sadly, he was betrayed by one of his most trusted advisors. With his once friend's sword piercing his chest, he cast his last spell.

Unintended by even him, his spell incorporates a legendary item that results in the world being cursed. Now over a thousand years later, a certain sorcerer once again wakes...and he is not happy. Alessa has been on the run for years. Never stopping in one place for long. When she arrives at a place where the secret that has haunted her the span of her short life, it might just be the one thing that lets her survive.

Will she be able to handle the consequences that result from this meeting?

So far I'm only a couple of hours into this and won't be finishing it.

The main character is OP, as an ancient world boss that's reset to level 1 this really doesn't need to be the case. Even though his old skills are "locked" it really doesn't matter as he kills everything he has encountered with no issue.

The story is uninteresting and bland, also everything he needs just gets dropped in his lap.

I won't spoil anything for those who want to give it a go.

Overall: 4 stars. Maybe a bit generous?

Performance: 3½ stars. Narrator is okay, nothing special

Story 3 stars. Could have been done differently and actually been good. Too harsh?

This is a litRPG, but wasn’t marketed that way at all. Very disappointing for someone like me who thought it would be a unique fantasy horror about a dead conqueror’s return.

Instead I got a douchy main character who is a Mary Sue (Mary Steve?), who nothing ever goes wrong for and is good at everything. It’s a boring tale of how he levels up from there.

Annoyed I spent money on this. If you’re not specifically looking for litRPG, don’t bother with this.
