A cynical youth struggling to find meaning in his life dies horribly in a car accident, only for his soul to transmigrate into the body of a dead scavenger in a futuristic, apocalyptic world.
"If this is what hell looks like, then I'll seriously be disappointed," were some of the first words to leave his mouth as he opened his eyes, finding himself in a foreign world waiting to be explored!
It's a pretty entertaining story in a dystopian sci-fi/fantasy setting with a protagonist of the clever villain type that you can't help but like. The cynicism is also just right and doesn't feel like some cringy attempt at comedy.
It's really missing an editor to shape it up a little though. It's not so much a problem of faulty grammar, but there are a whole lot of typos. Also the author really really likes saying "that is neither here nor there" and they'll put it into every sentence they can get away with it.

It's entretaining so far, the MC is fun to read, and he's not a japanese beta-cuck type, so that's a plus.
It's not completely filled with tropes and i've not read anything cringe-worthy yet, he's not fully dead inside too, which means we actually get to imagine his reactions instead of a blank face that never moves. The system is basic so far, with the most ''rare'' thing being that his stats come in ranks (as in, F, F+, E-, well you get the idea), also his system
is not tryinghasn't tried to kill him yet.Enlightened Violence's biggest flaw is it's grammar, you can understand everything based on context, which is almost more frustrating than it being completely unreadable, because they're little flaws that would take little to no energy to fix. e.g : 86 instead of 96, sort instead of short, etc... As I said, mostly typos, that an editor would take 5 minutes at most working on.
TL, DR: The MC is entertaining, the world-building is decent so far, can't really give my opinion on other characters because they haven't had the chance to develop yet, basically, give it a chance, if the 10 first chapters don't engage you, this is not for you.
PD: Author, getting an editor would provide a good boost of quality to the story, just saying.
