Description
Cyril was a Harry Potter book fan. He unexpectedly obtained a chatterbox system that said it would take him to experience the desired Wizarding World. He rubbed his hands together gleefully. Was there such a good thing? However, once the system was finished, he found that this Wizarding World didn’t seem quite right? Cyril (eyes shaking: Forest monster? Brass steam train? Gloomy wizard’s tower? Wizarding academy of the fittest? This wasn’t right! System (forcing itself to be calm): Magic creatures! The appearance doesn’t matter! The architecture isn’t the key! It is still a wizarding academy! There isn’t anything wrong with it! Not bad, not bad! Cyril struggled to make it through the Blackheart Wizard Academy. Fortunately, there was the gentle and courteous chief gentleman to cling to. This was until he found that the handsome chief seemed to be plotting against him… My god! This seemed to the other identity of the crazy great magician and necromancer? *** According to legends, the dark, paranoid, crazy and pe*verted great necromancer rubbed the white and delicate neck of the beautiful young man in his arms and whispered, “My dear, I heard that you have been very close to the commander of the Holy Light Knights recently? Cyril denied it three consecutive times with an innocent face, “I’m not! I didn’t! Who is talking nonsense?”

My Thoughts on After Being Fancied by a Necromancer
I dove into "After Being Fancied by a Necromancer" with high hopes, and while it had some charming aspects, it also presented a few quirks that held it back from being a complete home run for me. It’s a magical academy story with a cute protagonist and a supposedly obsessive male lead, so naturally, I was intrigued.
First Impressions
The initial premise is definitely appealing. Cyril, the MC, navigating a wizarding world he’s unfamiliar with, sounded like a fun journey. I was definitely drawn in by the promises of a unique magic system, a non-human big bad, and the whole "fish out of water" element. The early stages, where Cyril explores this new world and starts learning magic, were particularly engaging.
What Works Well
I appreciated how the magical setting wasn't just a backdrop, but an integral part of the plot. The system was well-integrated, and the story felt immersive. The plot flowed nicely, taking us from Cyril's initial bewilderment to his eventual mastery of magic. The wizarding trials, treasure hunts, and wand shopping were all classic fantasy tropes done reasonably well. Many readers seemed to enjoy the world-building and the blend of magic with elements of capitalism. The author created a world where wizards are known by everyone, and that was a nice change of pace.
Areas of Concern
However, I did find some aspects less enjoyable. The male lead's characterization felt a bit… much. The constant rose metaphors became tiresome. The translation also seemed to have some issues, from gender confusion to inconsistent character names. Several readers also pointed out that the pacing felt rushed towards the end, particularly regarding the development of the romance. It felt like the author wanted to wrap things up quickly, which led to a less satisfying conclusion. The ending felt a little too abrupt, and I wish there'd been more interaction between the main couple.

Final Verdict
Overall, "After Being Fancied by a Necromancer" is a decent read if you're looking for a lighthearted magical academy story. While it has some flaws in pacing, translation, and character development, the engaging world and cute protagonist make it a worthwhile experience. I'd give it a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars. It's a fun read, but don't expect a masterpiece.
