After now officially reading 97 Chapters as of this review, I believe I can wholeheartedly say that Necropolis Immortal is a read worth your time.
The information below may dip very slightly into spoiler territory, so here is a quick tl;dr.
Regular Tomb Raider reincarnated into Xianxia Necromancer seeks to use Feng-Shui/Formations to raid Ancient Tombs in his new life. Would Recommend.
-----
Delving into a world that holds less focus on the idea of tiered cultivation levels like most Xianxia novels go (Tiers exist, they just hold less importance), and more on the ideology that the Occult tends to exist outside the realm of the Norm. Necropolis Immortal is a wonderful series that scratches an itch I've yet to find other novels cover.
Our MC is not a strong character, as his talents/strengths and techniques as of the moment all exist through his allies and the knowledge he retains from his previous life. As far as Main characters go in these novels, Lu Yun is definitely one of my favorites.
Feng-shui is a heavily used theme in this novel and ties directly into the use of Formations. It's a nice change of pace which gives every Immortal Formation a secondary purpose, and oft allows for some fun solutions that aren't simply just 'Break the Formation with pure strength', like you'll often see in most novels.
At the time of this review, the story's world-building is still gradually fleshing out the lands beyond the MC's home domain, with a mysterious overarching plot now taking place in a world filled with Ancient Tombs that define the very foundation of the cultivation world.
Last but certainly not least, the series Translator, Etvolare, is a veteran on the site and the quality of the translations alongside the personal touch at the end of each chapter easily attests to her professionalism.
--------
In short, I'd recommend this novel to anyone who wants to read a Xianxia story with some occult elements, or if they wish to have an MC more intelligent than the average, without being an absolute genius like Su Chen from Divine Throne of Primordial Blood.
