Fun book, excellent audio book

I'm mostly writing this review as a recommendation. I really liked the book, and the audio book in particular. Its the highest quality audio book I've listened to.

Entertainment: Its about a necromancer reincarnated as the daughter of a hero and saint. Most of her actions are focused on getting people to pledge their loyalty to her, so she can add them to her necromancer army when they eventually die. Despite the selfish motives, her actions get interpreted positively by others, and she is often thought to be a saint. I thought the book was funny. And again, the audio book is very well done, so it was a lot of fun to read. The major turn off is the main character's personality. Especially in the prologue (pre-death) he is a slimy incel loser. Post reincarnation, she is a lot more bearable. Selfish, but not obnoxiously gross (usually). If you don't like the man reincarnated into girl trope, you should stay away. But if you're only turned off by the prologue, I'd say give it a shot.

Learning: For language learning its pretty average, and I don't have much to say. It has the same problems as other fantasy LNs - a lot of jargon and katakana words. Having read a lot of fantasy already, I was used to this vocab and didn't mind.
