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.

This is technically a calming slice of life type action fantasy anime.
The character and surrounding people are developed well. There are fights at intervals.
The concept is familiar yet unique.
The screenplay has some depth and it keeps you interested.
Watch it when you want a chill anime.

Adventuring and its risks are well explained.
One good part - No extremely annoying character which has now become a common trait.
This makes the anime so peaceful.

Story & Plot: 7/10
The story is arguably slow, the first few episode was amazing where the story developed, while in the middle it starts to falter and continue with what feels like fillers episode with minimal to no developement in the plot. some episode felt really dragged out. depsite all this the story that is trying to discover the theme of humanity in a setting where you are reincarnated as a monster is really refreshing, it strays far away from your normal undead isekai/fantasy show where they just dont bother addressing this part. i just hope if this has a chance for season 2 it ...

Great premise and huge potential for a great story that quickly turns into garbage writing and kids show. 
It had a good base recipe for an interesting story: 
A good,hardworking, likeable adventurer who, despite all of his effort, cannot move past the limitations of his body.  gets killed and finds himself to become a monster while retaining seemingly intact consciousness, personality, and memories. All while having a mad scolar/mage/love interest who is willing to hide and help him stay human on the inside.

It had no isekai BS, no harem. No stupid, silly jokes, and good art to boot. 

It explores the themes of : The meaning of humanity, ...
