Synopsis

While exploring a labyrinth, Rentt Faina, an adventurer with lots of experience but little to show for it, is killed by a dragon upon discovering its lair. Shockingly, he wakes up to find himself turned into a skeleton, the lowest class of undead monsters. As Rentt fights against the other monsters of the labyrinth, he discovers that slaying them gains him experience towards higher stages of undead evolution—even ones with flesh! With this revelation in hand, Rentt obtains a new objective in his undeath: keep evolving in the hope of eventually becoming a vampire, the highest form of undead that is nearly indistinguishable from human beings.

Despite being forced to hide his past identity and monstrous nature under an unremovable mask, Rentt manages to return to a semblance of his former life. Granted shelter by Lorraine Vivier, an elite researcher and retired adventurer, Rentt assumes her surname and starts over from scratch as a rookie. Determined to pursue his childhood dream and become a mithril-class adventurer, Rentt must be cautious not to disclose his new bodily circumstances, lest the adventurers’ guild seek to exterminate the monster he has become.

Dec 8, 2024
People don't watch it because of the many negative reviews, and many stop watching it because they expect it to be just another ordinary anime about a man turning into a skeleton or monster, etc.

But this show doesn’t stop there. While much anime about a man turning into a monster focus on them never being able to return to human form, this anime tells the story of a man trying to reclaim his humanity.

We don’t see a stupidly overpowered protagonist becoming a god within 1-2 episodes. This show has real progress to tell, showing the struggle from zero to hero (and even by the finale, ...

Mixed Feelings
Anime is very misleading. Like they show MC with a blond girl who actually, is NOT a main character in any way or form.

So to cut corners: anime is great, however, there are some elements mixed into that ruints it (reason why I gave only an 8 and mixed feeling)

The anime starts extremly well, better then many others I saw. Sadly, it just gets stuck. It's like you started an anime that you are sure it will be an amazing one, but, from drama, mystery, advanture, it just becomes a slice of life, sometimes they talk about the world, but that's it. Nothing deep. And ...

Started out semi-interesting, but then the pacing took a nose dive and just became kind of a chore to get through after that. The action is pretty basic, the level detail in the characters and backgrounds too. The characters are lacking and so it the depth of the story. At least it had the common sense not to make it an isekai for no reason like every other anime of this genre. The pacing was insufferable after the first few episodes and really never recovered. The voice acting was pretty mid, not the worst, but really not very moving. The soundtrack was fine, but the ...
