Description
Sage Dwight subjugated the Demon Lord along with the hero. They, who had returned peace to the world, were suspected of becoming the next Demon Lord and were pushed into the valley of the dead to die. Ten years later. Dwight quietly survived at the bottom of the ravine, becoming a skeleton that lost all its flesh. With deep remorse, he held the hero’s dead body and said to himself. “What’s wrong is the world. I have to prove it to them.” Having resolved himself, Dwight ate the Miasma of the valley of the dead. He became an existence that surpassed the previous Demon Lord and headed for the surface, leading countless undead with him. All for the sake of world peace. The King of the Undead, who received the strongest power, began an all-out war against humanity.

The Executed Sage Reincarnates as a Lich and Begins a War of Aggression Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator
My Thoughts on The Executed Sage Reincarnates as a Lich and Begins a War of Aggression
First Impressions
Okay, so "The Executed Sage Reincarnates as a Lich and Begins a War of Aggression" definitely hooked me with its title. The premise is intriguing: a betrayed sage, reborn as a lich, seeks to unite humanity by becoming their common enemy. It promises a dark fantasy with a touch of antiheroism, which is right up my alley. The early chapters drew me in, setting a good foundation for a revenge story with a unique twist.
What Works Well
The initial concept is undeniably strong. The idea of a character sacrificing himself to unite a fractured world is compelling. Some readers appreciated the well-done plot progression and the author's attempt to give the MC a character arc, even if it's a bit unconventional. The translation quality also gets a thumbs up, which is always a huge plus. The pacing, while divisive, was seen by some as quite fast, with the protagonist quickly establishing his kingdom and engaging in wars.
Areas of Concern
Unfortunately, the execution seems to falter after the promising start. A recurring criticism is the lack of depth in the world-building and character development. The magic system, factions, and even the protagonist himself can feel somewhat basic. I found myself agreeing with the sentiment that the story doesn't fully capitalize on its potential. The protagonist's internal conflict, while intended to add depth, comes off as "emo" and repetitive to some, undermining his initial resolve. The dialogue is sometimes generic and the humor can feel out of place, disrupting the overall tone.

Final Verdict
"The Executed Sage Reincarnates as a Lich and Begins a War of Aggression" has an intriguing premise and a solid translation, but it ultimately struggles with execution. While some enjoy the kingdom-building aspects and the fast-paced plot, the lack of depth in characters and world-building, coupled with an inconsistent tone, holds it back. It's a story with potential, but it needs more refinement to truly shine. I'd recommend giving it a try if you're looking for a quick, somewhat dark fantasy read, but don't expect a masterpiece.
