Description

Drowning in medical debt and suffering through a dead-end job and an egotistical boss, William’s life seems dark and hopeless– Until opportunity arrives in the form of slipping down a dark stairwell. Granted the ability to multi-class and loop after death, he must fight his way out of a nightmarish Dungeon World with no tutorial and the most pathetic starting resources possible. But William refuses to squander this opportunity no matter how stacked the odds. He will thrive–and die trying. Over and over again, until he gets it right. Unbeknownst to him, greater machinations are afoot. Ancient beings of inconceivable power wage eon-long wars predating the existence of humanity itself. Coincidence may have brought William here…or maybe it’s destiny that he willBreak the System. Tags and content warnings are there to provide me with creative freedom later on. 2000+ words per chapter

Loving the story so far. Writing is well done, just a couple minor spelling mistakes. I’m excited to see where everything leads to. Hopefully this isn’t a spoiler, but it’s been hinted the system may be aware, but with it also being broken I’m looking forward to seeing how it all plays out. Danger lurks around the corners, but what can harm a looper? We might find out.

There are a lot of gaps in the narrative in the first few chapters. The author hasn't spent enough time developing the MC's background and personality. A race to be better than others develops before there's really an understanding of what a tutorial is or what the MC is actually experiencing. Promising but ...

Very promising concept and start, but needs work. First chapter or so was fine, but then next few chapters immediately rolled into too much filler. Ad nauseum descriptions of thoughts in MC's head and every little action that add nothing to the story and just drag it down. Story needs more show and less tell and to delete the excess and repetitive thoughts and descriptions.
For example, in chapter 6 there are paragraphs of unnecessary description in reference to breaking wood doors down and why not to do it, which are repeated in different words three times. MC describes finding a swing door to a kitchen - before he knows it is a kitchen - a prime example of tell instead of show. Kitchen is described in detail to no purpose, with moronic reasoning why MC is not taking a knife (he should take a knife). Then there is a garbled sentence (prior sentence quoted for context, garbled sentence in bold), "Any blade or weapon that provided them with stat points would be worth a lot when he eventually returned back to earth. Hopefully in time before the advancement in technology pushed them further along, whether it was through engraving or inscription, to eventually reach that stage." ???
Next issue is the painfull lack of thought with which MC behaves during his first fight, doing the same thing over and over expecting different results - takes him 25 deaths to formulate even a basic strategy, he never thinks to pick up and use the shield which first mob never uses, he never thinks to cut off mob's arm with sword before mob activates. Just painful to read the many dragged out chapters with this fight. This lack of thought seems to continue in the story.
I was going to quit reading at chapter 5, but decided to give this another go as I like the concept. Sadly, issues mentioned did not get better. Story has potential but really needs editing.
Not much on characters or world so far. Only one fight has occurred (although that fight was repeated ad nauseum) so story still moving
