This story is a great start. I like the character development of the MC Victor so far. everything seems logically consistent and relatable. You also have a good number of chapters so far. Keep it up! look forward to seeing more.
If you feel so inclined check out my books as well.

Not a bad story and the dialogue is decently written. Can get a bit wordy and needs work on pacing but the author listens to critics and fixes where he can. It is worth giving a chance. All in all not bad for someone's first attempt at a lit RPG.

Overall Score: 4/5
Artifact Hunters emerges as an exciting and immersive entry into the fantasy genre, striking a balance between adventure, humor, and exploration. The narrative delves into the life of Victor, a fledgling adventurer, and his companions as they navigate a world teeming with powerful artifacts and dark secrets. The story succeeds in providing intrigue and character-driven moments, though certain pacing issues and a reliance on familiar tropes occasionally dampen its otherwise strong foundation. For fans of high fantasy and character-based journeys, this story is both engaging and rewarding, with enough to keep readers invested for future installments.
Style Score: 4/5
The author’s writing style in Artifact Hunters is notably clean and readable, with an emphasis on straightforward storytelling that doesn’t get bogged down in overly complex prose. The blend of lighthearted banter and darker, more serious moments works well for the tone of the story, particularly in the interactions between Victor, Gargrim, and the others. Dialogue is a strong point, with characters often delivering lines that feel genuine and relatable, especially Gargrim’s gruff wisdom and Victor’s naiveté.
However, while the style remains accessible and consistent, there are occasional moments where the writing becomes overly expository. Long chunks of dialogue, especially when world-building or explaining mechanics like artifact properties, can feel like info dumps. These moments occasionally disrupt the flow of the story, and the dialogue sometimes veers into redundancy, repeating concepts or explanations that had already been established. Some transitions between action and reflective moments feel abrupt, potentially confusing readers about the emotional stakes of certain scenes.
Additionally, the pacing of some chapters, particularly during action sequences, could benefit from tighter execution. The narrative occasionally rushes through significant developments, undermining the e

I found the beginning of this story is a bit frustrating to read.
At first you have the misery that is the life of the MC and then comes too much exposition for my tastes. Maybe if I would have never read a litRPG story I might need it. And when I started to skip stuff in the third chapter, I realized this story is not for me. There just wasn't a hook to keep my interest.
Still, you might want to give this story a try.
