Ok, this story hits different. It's really amazing. I haven't really looked around to see if there are stories focused on Neurodivergent characters, I'm sure there are... but this is my first experience with it and i's fantastic. I'm ND myself, and reading through this, so many of the quirks the MC has, I see in myself, almost exactly. I was immediately able to connect with the character and begin to understand their situation. I could put myself in their shoes, being thrown into a new, unknown place.
The story is starting to build up by the point I'm reading and I'm thoroughly enjoying where it's heading. It's a unique take on cultivation and LitRPG mechanics that I find refreshing. The writing and prose is great. The author does a really good job here. Grammar wise: there are just a couple of typos I've noticed. I will point those out in comments when I go back through it. Everything is really well polished. I am excited to follow this story and I hope the Author continues building this character and this world. I hope many people come to find this story and enjoy it as well. Take a look, I don't think you're going to regret it.

STYLE: The writing style is extremely fun, and one of the best parts of this story. The story is in first person present tense and takes complete advantage of this, with the MC's narration being extremely fun and unique.
GRAMMAR: The grammar is slightly rough around the edges, mainly with some tense switching, but for the overall quality of the story it can be ignored.
STORY: So far the story is good, but not much has happened. It's pretty early on (8 chapters in) so I don't have much to say, but I'm very interested in what is to come in Lara's story.
CHARACTER: Along with the writing style, this is the shining beacon of this story. Lara is so relateable as a character, I feel like I've lived her experience, and reading this has made me consider seeing a professional on whether I'm a little neurospicy or not. Behind her goofy, joky monologue, is a lot of pain, and it is so relatable.
OVERALL: So far, this story has been very unique, and very relatable. Lara's first person narration is very fun, very goofy and I absolutely recommend it to anyone who wants a story about a relatable character, and some fun prose.

The MC of this story is very relatable. The story is well written with a focus on character development. There are also are consequences to the MC's actions. What they do has a big effect on the story.
It's a good slow nuerodivergent fantasy isekai.
