Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (58/? chp)
This is highly similar to Durarara in structure. After the start/premise in the beginning, the manga slowly starts amassing cast of characters and keep switching between different perspective. Over time this result in more and more and more characters being added along with new points of view, pieces of story, storylines and so on, and eventually it will amass to become some sort of avalanche which will result in some sort of conclusion.

As of chapter 58, no conclusion in sight.

In details:
6/10 story, 6/10 art, 5/10 character, 6/10 enjoyment, 6/10 overall.

The story is decent, if you can handle Durarara storytelling with constant point switching. The problem with the story, however, is that over the time number of character and parallel storylines reaches critical mass, and then story slows down to crawl. However it is still interesting to watch this unfold and grow in complexity, so that's a plus. On other hand, slowdown due to high number of parallel storylines makes some events take many chapter which is a minus. Then again, compared to the incredible number of cookie-cutter isekai mangas recently, that's at least above the reset.

Art: 6/10.
The art is decent and is mostly highly detailed, however, there are plenty of dialogues with talking heads and completely white backgrounds. The art is also fairly typical modern manga style, without any significant differences. Necromantic moments do stand out when they're present.

Character: 5/10.
No character development. Instead, characters slowly unfold. Basically, each one start with a "role", and then the author clashes them together, showing the reader what happens. After 58 chapters I haven't found anyone evolve, and many characters are over the top. Which means, they're good enough, they're not cliched, but don't expect to find a lot of real people with life-like characters.

Enjoyment: 6/10. It became pretty fun once the story gathered more characters and switched to durarara storytelling. The beginning was kinda slow in comparison.

Overall: 6/10.
Worth checking out, especially if you're tired from the endless stream of nearly identical identical (modern) isekai mangas.
