Excellent Start

The premise is entertaining. In what looks like a LitRPG world - system, classes, gods, magic, nonhuman intelligent species, et numerous cetera - Sofia is an orphan who decides to become a Necromancer in order to give herself a future. At the instant she takes that class, she is also selected to become the next Saintess of her god. (Each god can have a Saintess, and it’s usually a plum position. The god of Sofia’s country has a reputation for imprisoning Saintesses and using them up quickly.)

The System isn’t designed to handle multiple classes, and does its best. Sofia becomes a Necromancer with some Saintly touches - and bizarrely-random skills. When she is imprisoned - to be used up as the next Saintess - she has resources her captors do not suspect.

As I write this, the story is past six hundred chapters. I got the first three books from Amazon, and they were worth getting and worth reading. Later books have fallen into a rut, of the “we will now spend thirty chapters following Sofia as she works through this dungeon” variety. The individual chapters are still entertaining, but the story as a whole has bogged down.

Postscript: Several on Amazon in several books.
