The Iron-Blooded Necromancer Has Returned

Description

Hela, a world of relentless killing, war, violence, and murder.

Kang Hyuk awakened as a necromancer in this world. He did not know why or what had caused it. Was it because he had encountered death too many times?

Six years after his brother returned to Earth, Kang Hyuk had become the ultimate necromancer and received troubling news, "My liege, I have something urgent to tell you. Your brother, who returned to Earth, has died."

Kang Hyuk's future was thus set to return to Earth as he vies to obtain vengeance for the death of his brother.

Another korean MC that can't read emotions with a cast composition is 95% abusive boys -- by reviewer Joese

Oh? Really? Hell, yeah! I've always loved the cold, emotionless psychopathic anti-heroes!

It took 18 chapters for a girl to get a line... The author gives chairs more detail than girls. -- by reviewer Joese

Considering how stupid and annoying the vast majority of women in manga/hwa/hua aimed at boys and men are I am so goddamned thankful to read this.

I'd rather these artists and writers never give women voices then have to deal with the misogynistic nonsense they put in their female character's mouth.

Revenge story and that's all for now

This is not a "Hero's Journey" or whatever it is called.

The protagonist isn't here to learn, he is here to have his revenge on the world, and he has the power to do so.

And there is no challenge because it's not a story where the protag is here to struggle to become better, he is here to destroy everything. -- review by TribesX

Say no more. This is exactly what I've been looking for.

Although, gotta admit, the MC's character design looks very uninspired. Even his "evil overlord" costume is...um...not interesting.

EDIT: Art is terrible. Oh my god. Everyone looks like NPCs. No one stands out, not even the main character.

If they had to more pizzazz ir style or just something that'll stand out this would have been at least decent but forgettable slop.

As it is, it doesn't have anything to save it.

Huh, art is slooooooowly improving. Hopefully the hype moments are worth it to make up for how fugly the characters are.

EDIT II: this artist cannot draw fight scenes. This is very bad considering how much action there is.

Apparently, every single human man on Earth who has some kind of power are thoroughly evil. Even the one MC saved is kind of worthless and self serving.

I'm still very happy this doesn't introduce a woman. I'm like 99.9% the woman can be the worst, mass murdering, jay walking, cannibal rapist but if she's "hot" MC will save her instead of bitch slapping her into the lowest level of Hell.

LOL, how did they even turn his brother's guild into a guild of thugs in less than a week? I mean, it took him years to build, and it was supposedly a threat to the bad guys around the world... Even if they infiltrated it, there is no way everyone loyal died so fast...

Even though I agree with the description of AnduinX, my opinion is different.

This is not a "Hero's Journey" or whatever it is called.
The protagonist isn't here to learn, he is here to have his revenge on the world, and he has the power to do so.

And there is no challenge because it's not a story where the protag is here to struggle to become better, he is here to destroy everything.

This ressemble "Fukushuu o Koinegau Saikyou Yuusha wa, Yami no Chikara de Senmetsu Musou Suru" on that point.

At least, as far as chap. 33.

It's hard to find the words to describe how bad this is

I am an avid fan of manhwa and have probably read all of the necromancer manhwa that have been translated to English. Some of them are really good, while some are mediocre. The one thing they all have in common is that all of them are better than this. This is, without a doubt, the worst necromancer manhwa that I have ever read. I am not trying to be comical here. I am dead serious (pun intended). I downed a bottle of wine reading this and not even the alcohol can save it.

Do you like reading about a character that levels up and grows in strength, gaining a more powerful army over time? You won't find that here. The main character already has all of the powers - but that's not necessarily a bad thing, right? After all, power fantasy can still be good when done right! Well, let's just say, this is not 'done right'. This MC is completely devoid of all emotion, save for the occasional display of anger. He just walks from one place to another with the same blank expression, slaughtering human hunters with skeletons... and that seems to be the entire extent of the plot. Gangster wannabes pick a fight with our MC, and he kills them with skeletons. Over and over and over.

Lets talk about the skeletons. He doesn't seem to need to raise corpses to create them. He already has all of the skeletons. He just pulls them out of his arse - as many as he needs! Not that he needs many, because his skeletons are so overpowered they slaughter every wannabe gangster in his path.

Do you like reading stories about portals opening and monsters attacking humanity? Do you like reading about protagonists who delve into those portals and face off against powerful creatures? Well then, give this one a pass, because our MC pretty much ignores those portals. He only seems interested in hunting humans. Our MC has only entered one single portal so far, and the only thing he killed in that portal were, you guessed it, wannabe gangsters.

If you like reading about a 'necromancer' with unlimited skeletons and no emotion that goes around slaughtering the same stereotypical bad guy architype over and over and over without end, then this is the manhwa for you! May GOD have mercy on your soul.

For everybody else, I strongly advise you pass on this one. I'm going to drink more alcohol now, and forget that this manhwa ever happened.
