The Lich’s Custom Creations

I want to order a Saintess of Light doll, author, please send it to me quickly.

Is it just my imagination? The plot seems to have gotten a bit strange after it was released. A love-struck saintess, the dead Nina, a bunch of dead characters, a border city nearly breached, and then the Lich Association appears. And a succubus too. The latest chapter mentions becoming a god again, with the lich, who took off using the system of the god of art, talking about becoming a god.

This book has always had one problem: the plot is driven by fate. The protagonist frequently faces life-threatening situations, but in my opinion, this is entirely intentional on the author's part. While the protagonist lacks combat power, he can create legendary-level items. Why doesn't he create legendary-level defensive measures for himself?

Glowing skeletons, huh? Isn't that simple? Just coat the skeletons with fluorescent powder.

Sure, after reading the first few chapters, it has a bit of the feel of "The Mad Lich's Experiment Log," but the style leans more towards light novels. The writing is decent. Given the current decline in the quality of novels, it's a pretty good read.

This is a massive outbreak of "intellectual youth syndrome"—that's the only way to describe it.

After its release, things did become somewhat chaotic, mainly because the characters were often inexplicably drawn into nonsensical situations. While the story supposedly included a theme of pursuing art, this wasn't reflected in the writing at all, leaving the novel in a state of essentially lacking a main plot.

I read the latest chapter in one go, and the writing style has improved significantly. The unnatural excessive sentimentality from the early chapters has decreased considerably, and it no longer feels like an outline. The latest chapter, in particular, shows a big change, and the writing is much more natural. I don't understand those who say it got worse after being published.

After it was released, things became a mess. Do you think readers can easily remember a character who only appeared a few times? This is a major taboo in works with dual narratives.

Both characters and plot can be the core of a story, but one should never compromise too much for the other. From the moment the demons breached the city, you introduced too many elements and too many plot twists in a short period, largely exceeding the normal efficiency of information delivery, making the events seem too radical and the characters too calm. This gives the reader a sense of deus ex machina.
