  Really fun read. Starts off decently with the prologue though could be. However, the authors style is a bit annoying at first but he has staerted to change it which is a plus.
  I think in time, this could be great. The more practice the author gets, the better it will become. Like most things.
  Edit: oh yeah, he shot himself in the foot with the setting for chapter 1. Is not the best way to entice readers but kept me going with the mysterys.

  Style - The novel employs a third-person perspective, but it's heavily focused on the MC, so we pretty much know only as much as the MC does. The pacing starts out pretty fast and slightly confusing, as we and Knight claw our way through the dungeon and whatever situation he's suddenly been thrust into. To a certain degree, this works by building up a mystery that hooks in the reader. But, personally, I feel like it went a bit on too long, and past the first few chapters, it slows down a bit too much.
  However, I was pretty invested in the story trying to find out what the whole situation was really like, and as I read further, I started to enjoy the style the author employs, swapping between more serious moments and super hilarious ones. I guess that's what kind of got me addicted to the story, and I guess I'll definitely be coming back for more every week!
  Grammar - I read a few reviews mentioning the grammar, the sentence structure comes off as a bit odd, but I think that's mostly to do with personal tastes, and since I didn't really spot anything that screamed mistakes, I think the author's done a pretty good job cleaning up! So if the other reviews are discouraging you from reading this masterpiece because of the grammar, you should probably ignore that.
  Story - I kind of mentioned it in style, the pacing is slightly inconsistent, but I think its intentional, the first arc should serve as a hook, and the next few arcs should slow done and explain things a bit. I think this novel does this pretty well, which shows that it should've been planned out pretty well, so the future arcs should connect pretty well with what we know right now/
  Character - I feel like Knight definitely draws a lot of inspiration from the more comedic MCs in Japanese light novels, as you read, it gets pretty clear that he's definitely someone sent here by truck-kun. He's not someone with upstanding moral qualities, but he's not exactly the scum of the earth either, he's pretty much your ave

  The premise of this story was phenomenal, and the idea of the story was well executed. I found myself enjoying the first six chapters, and I know I will continue to enjoy the coming chapters as I keep on reading :)
  Grammar
  The grammar is well-executed, and I found trouble finding things to suggest. Well done in that department :)
  Style
  The author's style is something I found a little hard to get used to. I think this is because I am also a writer, and not just a reader, but the style is very different from my own and it took a while to get into the right mindset. That being said, once I was able to put myself in the right place, I found myself enjoying the premise.
  Story
  The story is the only thing I could tick down on, and that is because of the way the writing style is portrayed. I think it might be because the style of comedy just isn't to my taste, or simply just not a writing style I'm used to, but it drew me back. Something small, and probably due to my own bias, which is why I only ticked it down .5 star!
  Character
  I quite enjoyed the characters in this story! They provide life to the story, and each one has their own personality and qualities that are put forth to the bigger picture. Moving puzzle pieces that feel real, feel unique and are nice to follow. One of my favorite aspects to this story was the characters! Which is good, at least in my eyes :D Characters are hard to portray, but the author has portrayed them well.
  For a style that I'm not used to, this was a phenomenal piece of writing. I enjoyed it and will keep reading it to see where this "Ordinary" adventure takes me :)

  Let's see... let's start with grammar. By the time I got to reading, the chapters have already been edited and fixed by others. So in terms of typos, I couldn't spot any while reading so far.
  The story has been interesting, definitely different from the average isekai. In terms of structure, it's clearly taken inspiration from light novels. Those not familiar with those types of stories might need a bit of time to adjust, but I am personally a fan of it.
  In terms of a main strength, I'd say this author's strength is his worldbuilding and descriptions.
  Characters are varied and the MC is definitely atypical from other MCs. Let's just say it has the secret identity and anti-hero tags for a reason.
  Overall, if you like anime-like stories and light novels, this could be the fic for you.

  Hello, I am a massive fan of up and coming writers and I have to say that for a beginner this story really has alot of merits. You can tell that the writer has a great love of his work and the characters that exist within the story. In addition I feel like the writer behind the scenes has put much effort into the world building and power scale of the characters. If you're interested in a unique take on the Isekai genre I suggest that you read this work of literature

  The story in a nutshell:
  Our ordinary guy Knight gets brought into a new world by a mysterious person through an accident. He awakens in a prison and together with a golden eyed girl he has to get out of that place before he can truly begin his "isekai" adventure.
  ~~~
  In general the idea of the story is pretty unique and the author did a great job writing it out.
  However The first half or so of the book is pretty bumpy and very confusing. I was tempting to give it 3 stars at most but the later chapters changed that.
  At first the characters had been pretty lacking in depth and personality. Especially Knight who made some unreasonable choices and with his thoughts making little sense.
  In addition to that there was a lot of confusion as many things didn't get explained. While it can be a good nice to keep secrets from readers, planning to reveal them later on, an author shouldn't let the readers be completely in the dark.
  Luckily, the author does more explaining in later chapters and the characters get more fleshed out too. You even start to relate with the characters.
  All in all it was an enjoyable read!

  Ehh... This story has got that certain type of content that makes me not as much a fan as I would have liked, and that’s a pet peeve of mine—serious comedy. There isn’t anything wrong with it, but when I am getting a silly comedy story, which a whole lot of An ‘Ordinary’ Adventure is, what I’m not looking for is many chapters all about the physical pain and emotional torment of the characters, played entirely seriously. It’s done a lot in anime, and a lot of people like it, but I sadly do not.
  Actually, this book is very, very much like an anime series, and is formatted very closely to a Japanese light novel. That’s for good and for bad. For the good, it means lots of jokes and weird silly stuff. The main character’s name is Knight, which is exactly the kind of on-the-nose joke that makes me giggle. And the dialogue is filled with comedic moments. But also like a light novel, the prose is flat and doesn’t do enough to describe characters, settings, or action. If you’re used to fan translated light novel writing, though, you won’t bat an eye, I think.
  The biggest problem with the story then, for me, is the stretched-out feeling of everything. I read through Chapter 1, which was divided into about 13 parts and took somewhere around 80 or 90 pages I believe. However, it dragged on and on with an extended action/escape scene and chapters that didn’t even have a full scene to themselves. Chapter 1 felt like it was supposed to be a fast-paced intro, but the way it was written was too sluggish to get itself going. I believe the chapter could be cut in half length-wise and still come out on top, so the length as it is is mostly excess.
  But I still think this is a perfectly OK story for those who want a silly (but not that silly) light novel-esque adventure. That’s just not my favorite subgenre.

  As the title says, this is a nice little fiction, but it is very much a work in progress. The author is still finding their groove, and as such there are some drastic changes in style, pacing and characterisation. All of it is pretty good, but it's not yet one coherent piece.
  The style probably suffers the most from the author's changing approach; there is a strong move away from heavy description into light and humorous comedy. There are some real suggestions that the author is getting to a stage where they can marry these two strengths, but, as it stands, it reads almost like it was written by two or more people. Don't be disheartened though, there is real quality here, just a change in priorities.
  Sticking with the style theme for a moment, I just want to highlight an interesting technique harnessed in the early chapters. The author uses disjointed syntax that, deliberately or not, nicely parallels the panic-stricken state of the MC. I wanted to give that a nod, because I feel it was under-appreciated. However, to really shine I would recommend being more sparing with repetition, so that it is more obviously deliberate when used.
  The story is a little on the sparse side, but I actually found that quite refreshing. It's a bit of a different approach to world-jumping, as our MC is powerless for at least the first 100 pages, and has no clue what they are doing and where they fit in. I personally enjoyed that, but I don't need 400 people to get butchered in 80 words to keep me on the edge of my seat. I like a bit of character driven narrative.
  The grammar is almost perfect but a few of the later chapters could do with another readthrough. I get the impression that the author is generally very hot on this kind of thing but doesn't always set aside a ton of time for proofreading.
  The characters... are a bit confused, or at least the MC is. I can see from the comments that Knight has been tweaked a few times, and it does show in places. I generally found his motivations
