Just because he doesn't like the Jews doesn't mean he's a Nazi. All jokes aside it's a really interesting story for a certain kind of person that can accept reality as it is. There is an occasional mistake but that is to be expected, but other than that not many mistakes keep up the good work.

★★★★ 4.0

The story begins with a familiar setting: the young male protagonist wakes up to find himself transported into an unfamiliar and dangerous world, with no idea of how he got there. Beyond this, however, this story is refreshingly original.
The main character seems to lack any semblance of heroism, and is driven purely by self-interest. That may be off-putting to some, but also relateable to those of us who find it hard to empathize with bright-eyes youths eager to change the world. His actions, beliefs and political views might (along with the general setting), bother the more sensitive readers.
The narrative style is close third-person, but not totally omniscient. This reveals the thought process of the protagonist to some extent, but leaves enough undisclosed to make us wonder which (if any) display of affection is genuine and which is an element of manipulation.
The writing style feels a bit bare sometimes. Still, that is a far less common sin than the overuse of flowerly language and over-enthusiastic descriptions found in works by other authors. The short sentences are a good choice for action scenes, but not so much for calmer periods.
It is still early to comment on the faithfulness of the author to his update schedule.
Hopefully there will not be great reliance on sexual or gory descriptions, though a careful use of those would suit the story well. As long as the author focuses character development and conflict (both internal and external), rather than shock value, we might see something very good come into being.
