only complaint I have about this book is that it and its sequel are abruptly short.
The premise is intriguing, the execution is stellar and the characters are wildly engaging,
Bottom line. I need more and these characters deserve more, On Januaryth,, an explosion rocked the International School in Seattle, Washington, That explosion brought magic to the world, spreading across the globe in what would come to be called the Awakening.
All around the world, people began to develop magic powers, some of them even turning into creatures of myth like elves and dwarves.
With magic came monsters, and other threats to the world, Some of those who had power took up the call, and became adventurers or heroes, fighing back the monsters.
Others let their newfound powers go to their heads, becoming villains, Many turned their powers to crafting, and melding magic and technology, And a few began delving into the secrets of magic for knowledge's sake alone,
But the blast that kickstarted the Awakening did more than just bring magic to the world.
Twenty students, all in the same class, disappeared that day, No trace of their remains was ever found, and no one else in the building was so much as injured.
People began calling them the Lost Sleepers, twenty souls who would never Awaken like the rest of the world had.
Forty years after the Awakening, one of them returned, NEVER AGAIN! Stars
The OP Lich is a Returnee: Bookby Stuart Grosse.
While this synopsis leads you to believe imaginative and interesting happenings would occur within its pages, it is honestly pretty boring.
This first book solely focuses on her reorienting into her natural world, Basic back story and world building, Though there isn't any true depth to the interactions,
There are so many longwinded, and repetitive, explanations that honestly could have been accomplished with far fewer words, and yet still been more easily understandable the circuitous route the author took.
While leaving amble space to fill in other lacking aspects for the overall enjoyment of the plot.
As previously mentioned, there's not any true depth to the interactions, While there is ample character building for the MC, she is honestly the only one, Inside this conversations is mostly just rote informational diatribes, There doesn't appear to be any true emotion behind the individuals and their interactions with each other.
If it was only the MC who presented this way, it might come across as the author highlighting her emotionless outside appearance, but all evidence points to that not being the case.
I'm honestly saddened that this flopped, I was excited by the simple synopsis to explore this literary world.
But nothing has really engendered me to continuing, And, I truly think my rating for this work is generous given the potential squandered in these pages, and time wasted.
Book one/Short story
Mistakes: I didn't find anything wrong with this short story.
However it is labeled as a book and clearly isn't,
Plot: To short to really have much going on,
Characters: We know very little about them,
/Nothing against the author or writing personally but I just didnt find it very engaging after the first few chapters.
Perhaps it picks up eventually, but I just didnt have the energy to wait for that to happen with so many other great books out there.
Good book much better then I expected
This is a very interesting read.
Started out as the ending to your average isekai but turns into a reverse isekai, Getting to see what happened to the world while she was gone, One of the better books I've read in a while, I'm a bit leery of the author due to some of the frankly disturbing things he tends to write, but I gave this a shot.
Thankfully free of depravity, but really lacking in anything interesting, As a concept this works, but in execution it seems dull and laundrylist like, Not bad, but not great, Im a rookie author, looking to write stories that I enjoy writing, Not gonna get awards, but honestly, Im happy with each and every person that reads my work.

If I act like an idiot, or do anything to offend you, chances are it is not intentional, and I'm being oblivious.
In that case, hit me upside the head, and tell me, because I don't catch subtle hints.
