Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich

Angry Squirrel & IMPERFECTLUCK

This is the story of a crazy lich who possesses an internal game system and brings catastrophe to the entire world. The novel follows Roland, a lich burdened by a damned evil-alignment system that issues daily quests such as 'Destroy a town with a population of 30,000; reward: 10,000 evil points' versus 'Steal lollipops from 3 children; reward: 1 evil point' — with point deductions if neither is completed. Determined to be a good person despite being a notorious lich, Roland games the system as a 'kindly lollipop bandit' while navigating crusades of Myth-ranked Holy Knights and a world heavily inspired by Dungeons & Dragons. Originally a Chinese web novel (疯巫妖的实验日志) serialized 2014–2016, the story is known for its comedy, D&D cosmology, and subversion of evil protagonist tropes.

Progression: Structured advancement is central via an internal game system that drives all power growth. (1) Evil Points & Daily Quests: The System issues daily two-option quests with explicit evil-point rewards/penalties (e.g., 10,000 for town destruction vs 1 for petty theft, -2 for inaction). Points are spent to acquire skills, spells, and system perks, providing quantified level-like progression. (2) D&D-inspired tiers: Power is stratified into explicit ranks including Myth-ranked Holy Knights, Legendary, and deity-level thresholds that gate crusades and regional threats — each rank requiring accumulated points and system breakthroughs. (3) Lich evolution & phylactery: Roland progresses from base lich to higher undead forms via soul research, phylactery refinement, and spell mastery, with each evolution unlocking new System tiers. (4) Skill/Spell leveling: Abilities (necromancy, holy magic subversion) level through System spending and quest completion, making advancement measurable chapter-to-chapter. Every arc centers on gaming the System to avoid evil while still farming points for the next Rank breakthrough.
