Gods are, generally speaking, not fans of directly putting their fingers on the scale. This is for a variety of reasons, ranging from cautioun to amusement, but is generally because after a few hundred millennia and enough prayers to fill a hollow
Endless river has a unique premise of both xianxia and LitRPG combined, which it does so well, and it doesn't feel forced at all, especially when compared to other attempts at combination of genre.
Style: Definitely the strongest suit of the novel, the premise and ideas presented shows great breath of potential, I may be biased but I always enjoy a 1st person perspective story, and this excecutes that quite well.
Grammar: The grammar could definitely use some work, but it rarely hinders reading, merely lack of punctuation at places, or wrong punctuation where it shouldn't apply. Otherwise it is pretty good and the vocabulary is decently vast.
Story: Reincarnated as an eagle, he gets invited to join an organization for access to a system. The premise is well done and a breath of fresh air, instead of just being reincarnated just because, the main character is given a clear goal to work for from the start.
Character: Definitely needs some work, there are no side characters at the point I've read but it's not necessary for good story telling the problem is the main character you're reading about. In the beginning chapters, the main character feels quite disconnected from the story, while they have a system of their favourite MMORPG they seem to treat their life and the world like they are in a video game. While it allows the story to start immediately, which is definitely a plus, it is very hard to look at the main character as an individual.
