VN - Ren'Py - Completed - The Necromancer Arises [v1.0] [Whiteleaf Studio]

Review for v0.02

As mentioned in the overview, the game takes a lot of inspiration from Solo Leveling (A relatively popular webnovel/manhwa/anime if the name means nothing to you). It's quite the claim that this game is even more exciting, and after playing this, has to be a joke? This actually took the setting of Solo Leveling and somehow made it incredibly boring. There is nothing "exciting" about this game so far. More than anything, it feels like a subpar imitation.

Honestly I don't even know where to start. The game creates all these situations that actuality could be interesting... and does fuck all with it. Everything is so quickly glossed over and just lacking in any sort of tension or intrigue. Not great. I can already feel myself cringing at the MC when the game inevitably tries to make him seem like an overpowered badass.

What did I actually like about this game? That art isn't bad. That's it. In fact, the only reason I'd play this game again is to download a full save and see all of the art for the scenes.

Maybe my expectations were a bit too high after reading this was based off something I really enjoyed, but this was a let down for me.

*maaaaan this game was fucking amazing all through the story part i was thinking about how this is just all gate type manhwas and man i love it*

*the art in my opinion is so fucking good i love this vintage feeling art and the girls are really hot*

this was a review from a more hopeful time when this game just came out and it looked and felt promising but alas

the once promised solo leveling/gates inspired story was barely used in favor of just mc fucking his aunt sister and mother with absolutely no interaction from the player like some badly written porn parody

the fact that the game is called necromancer arise when the necromancy is just a summoned undead girl (not even one the mc raised) who barely does anything other than suddenly jacking off while holding the mc

why was the hunter school introduced when the mc has little to do with it and the last we hear of it the school was closed cause of a gas leak or something
my question again why introduce the school when its not even critical to the plot that has happened (for now) the mc when into 1 dungeon thats it, thats where the solo leveling inspiration started and ended and he didnt even do much in the fucking dungeon met one monster and then came back out (not even a lewd scene where the monster in the shape of the team mate would like flash the mc to distract him or anything)

when i heard it was inspired by solo leveling i thought it would take place mostly in dungeons but alas no it barely has anything to do with dungeons or just awakend people as a whole

Looks like whiteleaf studio drop a new banger. The plot is literally every hunting, portals, gate manhwa (solo leveling, etc) but in hentai vn form. Arts look good, everything look solid. Character design could be a bit better (from my taste, I suppose). I hope there's more fantasy clothing and armor later on. Cuz I'll be annoy af if the hunters gone into gates wearing regular ass outfit without any protection.

Still this is good potential vn, I recommend you to come back and play this game in a few months because this game is still in its early phase.
