It's a fine story. I like the setting and generally the direction it's going. There's a few issues with the writing itself though. It's full of unfamiliar slang that, while sometimes makes sense in context, is mostly is incomprehensible to me. On top of that, a rather significant bit was written in what I assume was latin, with no way to know what it actually said without digging for a translation. That said, the MC seems smart and generally capable of thinking and breathing at the same time. But here also, the writing is doing her an injustice by not including some of her internal thought processes on some of the decisions she makes. Overall it makes for a frustrating read which could have been so much more with a bit of thought put into it.

Edit: it just gets worse, and the author has apparently decided to silence all critics by blocking people that say anything slightly negative. Comment section is basically dead.

The other reviews really are correct. The content is good, and there is an excellent characterisation of the people in this story along with more than competent world building. 

The issue is little happens over several paragraphs. The pace is a snails pace as the main character describes every little thing she goes through in excruciating detail, causing me to skip paragraphs at a time, merely just reading the first and last few words of each to get the gist, and little context is lost for me.

The use of slang is also overwhelming, to generous in its use. Unsure if its Australian or British cockney slang, as there is crossover there, but its frequent use becomes more egregious as the story continues. I also don't like how from chapter 13 onwards, they have a large space between paragraphs. It ruins the flow of reading for me, but that is more a personal gripe.

Another minor gripe is with the formatting of the LitRPG mechanics, with dialogues mixed in between them with little distinction between what the status is and what the internal monolgue is. My suggestion here is to make the status box more distinct, such as in Mother of Monsters or Rebirth of the Nephilim, and to use the status as sparingly as possible. It isn't something you want to show to your readers with too much abandon or it can get overwhelming, especially since it's more often than not, the same data being repeated over and over.

There is a lot of good substance here, but as it stands, I am not entirely sure if I want to continue reading or not. I might keep going and edit my review if things improve, but up till chapter 18 at least, it needs a bit of a do over after chapter 13

The lexical choices and syntactical structures employed are nothing short of exquisite, and the prose achieves a level of sublimity that is commendable. HOWEVER, it is fundamentally deficient in substantive content. The narrative is excessively inflated, both in terms of verbiage and thematic substance, with each action subjected to relentless scrutiny and excessive contemplation. The protagonist's behavior diverges from what would be deemed rational in a survival context, instead conforming to the dictates of the plot—such as it is—crafted by the author's whimsical decree, thereby rendering the narrative contrived and lacking in authenticity.

The start dragged a tad; after Chapter 10 it picked up wonderfully. The writing is unique, giving an all-to-needed change to my eyes. The internal debate written out while receiving a new skill/upgrade is often longer than enjoyable, but the rest of the story more than makes up for it.
Plus, since it's just one part it's easily skipped or skimmed if you're not in the mood.

Before most actions you see their thought process, which some may not like, but knowing how someone plans to move is fitting granted their 'build'. Nothing is excessive and the reuse of slang drops of greatly as you continue, or I got used to it. It's well-worth at least getting to chapter ~15-20 to see if you like the story - only gets better as it goes!

You know how when a teen first starts to curse, they'll throw 14 f**ks into a sentence? That, but the slang. It's really hard to take any supposedly tense situation seriously with 5 wankers, 3 blimey, and 2 'right proper's thrown in the same paragraph. 

Aside from that it's not bad. Grammar is mostly solid, characters seem.. Motivated. I'll probably maybe give this another shot in a few months.

Ok, I probably should rewrite my previous review. The story is great so far, author did a thorough job with world building and created really charismatic MC to the point, where I had to resist the urge to skip long litRPG parts to get a new dose of plot or action. And that is the main problem of the story: it's intentionally stretched and can shine without litRPG part. You can actually skip whole paragraphs in some chapters without losing anything, because MC likes long internal monologues when she need to make some decisions, especially for her [status menu]. Really, if you are capable to write good fantasy without adding [systems], you should try to do just that. Writers usually add game like elements to their stories, when they are unable to create interesting enough character and want reader to associate themselves with a cliche "puppet" they use as MC it their endless RPG. If you actually put a "Personality" in a "World" with intention to write structured story (not a shonen you can continue endlessly as you can stomach), you should actually use all that paragraphs to write about the path your protagonist walks to obtain their power, not them mulling for hours over skill icons in some menu.
