About this listen

Morgan Lovecraft had a problem. The world hated him for what he was, and what he could do.

Saved by Duke Kinson, Morgan found a new life in the world of Dunnishire. Orphaned as a young teenager, he found himself in a new world where making friends was easy. That all came crashing down the day he turned sixteen and found out he not only had a death affinity, but was also a necromancer. For a time, all necromancers were put down before they could gain levels or power.

Morgan was born after that nonsense, but many of the old prejudices and hatred were still prevalent. Going from having friends to being an outcast once again, he hoped his scholarship to the Mages Academy would be a new turning point for him and a way to redeem himself.

Most people think of necromancers as beings of great power who could raise hordes of the undead to do their bidding. Well, yes, that part was true. But necromancers were a fantastic utility class that could be both DPS as well as some minor healing and maybe… just maybe… cast resurrections.

All his planning, hopes, and dreams went out the window on the first day of classes when he was challenged to an honor duel. Making mortal enemies five minutes after walking into school? Being asked by the duchy to speak to the dead for them? Help them solve an assassination plot and corruption of public officials? Not wanting to be in the spotlight, the former Earth gamer finds himself right on center stage as he becomes The Duchy's Necromancer!

The Duchy's Necromancer is a fantasy LitRPG progression-based storyline. There are grownups in this book who act like grownups. They drink, swear, make bad jokes, and fall in love. What's not in this book? Harems. Sex scenes. Graphic or otherwise. There are plenty of jokes and innuendo about it, however.

a well crafted story inside a larger universe, suffers in audio format from Stat sheet read time though

The performance is good. no Kevin Pierce but still a good choice for the genre.

Enjoyed the development and characters

Very OP MC but overall enjoyed the book and look forward to next book. The book has development of both characters and estate management towards the end.

Good story that is easy to get into

Really like the story and the narration. If you like necromancers, this is what a non-evil necromancer would act like. Yes, he does become op but still a lot of fun.

One criticism is that battles felt to fast but that is not really the focus of the book so it wasn't to bad.

The second criticism is the repeating of the descriptions in the character sheet. Given how many times the character sheet is read, it becomes annoying to hear it again.

Still, this is a fun, slice of life as a necromancer story.
