  Spoiler: Spoiler
  I've read the posted chapters so far and plan on keeping up with it. Its a great read especially knowing it is a translation.
  There are a few sentences that you have to think about as an American English reader. The translation has been done in a very proper English manner, meaning some of the word structuring can seem odd. It doesn't detract from the story for me, but I imagine it could for some. That being said, I know I plan to make some comments to help the author with making it a little easier to read and I hope others will too.

  A great read, I was quite impressed with the translation.  It was good enough that I read the entire first 14 chapters in a single sitting.     If it was not for the locations and character names you would be hard pressed to know it is a translation.  There is a few cases of odd phrasing where the translation does come off a bit odd mostly because they seem to be phrases that just don't translate well.    I did find that at times the story pacing was a bit fast and story seemed to jump a bit in places especially in chapters 12-14 that did cause me to go back and reread a bit as well.     It mostly came from the high number of viewpoint changes made it difficult to judge how much time had passed.

  First,. I must strongly disagree with those that say the writing is bad.
  That being said it is NOT an easy book to read, especially for most Americans.  Let's face it most of us (yes I am an American)  have read only American authored books, yes  there are .alot of popular uk authors asawell. But by and large Americans read books written in an  modern American style.  Which are normally wrrritten and eddited with easy Mass consumption in mind.
  Working against the reader is also the fact that the book is a translation and I suspect that the translation method stuck very close to original wording, vs rewriting passages for American consumption.   Note:often there are difrences between the uk vversion of a book and the American.
  So is it any suprise that the sentence structure and rythm of this work makes reading it a bit harder for us?
  That being said for those who are used to such things because they rutinely reader translated works, .(be it classics such as last morte de aurthor, or modern chinese or japaneses light novels.)  I believe they will not have much difficulty.
  I also feel those without such practice will find the book more than worth the effort.  However I recommend they pick up book one and read it first to get a better sense of the writing flow. With the chapter at a time method of reading with days or a week between new chapters it will be very difficulty to get acclimated to the style.
  Ok on to the story itself. It is a solid isekai and system novel.  Though istead of the mc transmigrating to on other world the world transforms.   But the new earth might as well be a new world.  Similar to "The system apocalypse" series by Tao Wong. Or the ledgendlof randidly ghosthound by Puddles4263.  Then give this series a shot.
  So if you like isekai, stat sheets for characters or litrpg in general give this a try

  This is a good basis. The MC appears to get very overpowered very quickly but once his enemies are fleshed out a little more, this may be necessary for him to survive.
  The writing/translation is difficult in some parts and as one reviewer stated, you will not realize what you’ve read until later in the book.
  That being said, I cannot wait for the next chapter.

  I don’t have any problems in the story really, but please don’t plug shamelessly on other story’s review. Makes you look desperate.
  However, the story isn’t half bad, so I’ll still give it a decent rating, but don’t plug on a review.

  The story is intriguing and well developed, but the writing is horrible, bordering on intelligible and forces you out of the story constantly due to a lack of coherence. There will be plenty of moments where you won't understand what has happened until it is later refered to, which scrambles your entire understanding off what you're reading. Lack of logic and coherence.
