I think this one is great.

No forced isekai setting is nice.
Mysterious plot to solve.
People in general have brains and don't cling to hate/fear while denying reality.
MC is OP, seems soft at first but doesn't hesitate to be harsh when it counts.
MC directs themself / decides on actions for themself, and isn't just directed by their surroundings.
Also the art is nice. Characters have distinct looks.

I like it alot.

Art is kinda rough but its kinda fine imo. What make me hate it is because it is such a waste of potential simply because the generic disease of most isekai MC (altho this isn't isekai) which is too kind to a fault but not to this degree.

MF already tricked to join under a weak ass country on freaking chapter 1 essentially forcing him to submit and degrade to a mere strong pawn. This kind of MC always lucky to have a good superior and never the one that would manipulate him because if they were, MC would definitely do it as they order

Haven't read the next chapter but i could predict MC will show his OPness once again the girl he met would fall in love with this punchable dense MC.

Edit : Sorry, a little rant for manga these days

when long ass titles are no longer enough to describe the story, so the description gets chopped up into incomprehensible mess... so this necro guy wants to make friends, and at this empire's dire moment comes to save them... but his goal is friends, so using the power of some super appraiser, he somehow hides his profession, cuz that's what appraisers do, that is actually for some reason loathed, instead of being praised for saving the empire,, and becomes an adventurer. But he's so damn op (he did save an empire) that his power can't be hidden (but didn't he want to hide it, because everyone hates it, even if it did save the empire, whatever the empire is), so it causes rumors for some unknown reason and disturbs the daily goings of "the" kingdom that we've never heard of before. But it's very important, it's "the" kingdom.

I haven't event started reading the manga, but god damn the description has some issues, not to mention the typically long title.

I feel like the most interesting part of this story happened off screen.
Yeah this is an after the war story where everything major happened and now everyone's trying to settle down. MC is the hidden mobster character that kicks the ass of the final boss before the heroes show up.

Damn, this translation is quite bad is the translator ESL or is this some low quality machine translation? Either way I've seen enough to drop it ¯\(ツ)

we need Lyra Scans back on this series. the cancer ManhwaFreak causing to scanlations are becoming too great, every series that they touch turned a mediocre isekai into a worse bottom barrel trash with their censoring and shit translation

As someone who likes necromancer classes, I really wanted to like this. But I have decided to drop the series upon reaching the latest chapter (ch. 8). Throughout these chapters, they rarely gave me any feeling that we were following a story about a necromancer. The only things that address the necromancer aspect is the very first chapter and his backstory. Even if his 2 main companions were revived because of his necromancer abilities, you could literally take that reviving and/or necromancer pact detail out of the story and barely anything would change. Rather than a necromancer, this story mainly feels like we're following an OP dark magician.

In terms of the MC's character, I can't help but feel he's way too bland and simple minded. Basically, he's been lonely his whole life since he's a necromancer so he wants to make friends. Sounds fine on paper, but unfortunately it doesn't seem that well executed. I get they're trying to show that the MC never had any experience mingling with the humans so he doesn't know what they would typically do, but I find it hard to swallow that he doesn't have any common sense gained throughout his years of living, whether or not he's been driven out of towns. He just ends up letting his naivety drive him due to his desperate need of friends. Lastly, while I'm a stickler for characters who "speak softly but carry a big stick" or "show mercy to friends and ruthlessness for enemies", I can tell that the author is trying to have the MC follow that mentality. But because of his simple mindedness I mentioned earlier, the way it's portrayed just feels improperly balanced. Most of the time, his excessive need for friends and kindness outweighs his "no shit taken" side that it's hard for the readers to take him seriously. Perhaps if that aspect of his character is properly balanced and we get more insights in the character other than just "I was alone because of my powers so I want friends", then this story could have better potential. But so far, it hasn't reached that point yet.

So in short: story doesn't properly deliver on "Solo necromancer and immortal army" part of its title, characters are bland and aren't interesting enough (especially the side characters), and even if it's supposed to be satirical and some kind of absurdic comedy making use of the "secretly OP but failing to hide it" trope, it unfortunately doesn't deliver in that comedy department. Interesting concept and idea, but not properly executed.

4/10; A pretty bad series that doesn't properly deliver (yet).

I'm way too tired and misread the title poorly....
"The Solo Necromancer Leading an International Army of Toasters to become an SSS-Rank Adventurer"
