Everything is described and explained in a long winded, overly descriptive manner and there is endless internal monologue questioning of ethics.
if you can relax your mind and let it not grab onto the sentence or paragraph until the end, and you enjoy a fantasy DnD adventure, then this story is amazing.
Mc is min maxing for a perfect class in an almost log horizon npc are alive, players are trapped here world.
Sick world building. Complex plots. Ridiculous OP matched by ridiculous glass cannon build. It's glorious chaos.
story plot is an onion. Layers and layers.
characters are flesh and blood with annoying flaws and attitudes and depth.
If you can enjoy all that, you'll be waiting for each cliffhanger too.

Writing the review for the Earth 2.0 honestly makes this reviewer felt ...presumptuous. Just from the four early chapters alone which this awed humble self had the luck to found, the honorable author MH Johnson had shown to the world that he was indeed a true master of the craft.
His prose flowed like calm stream. With each and every word, this reviewer could only sit still in rapt attention. Almost all sentences bare the minimum required repetition, are rich in vocabularies, and it's not just those "synonyms - insert adjective here" you'd find in several burgeoning writers. Instead, it was a collection of collated tapestries, each is chosen carefully to evokes wonder.
The story itself also intriguing, slow and ebbing, yet at the same time, fast-paced. By how the interesting tidbit revealed, by each tiny detail inserted, the logic of each fundamental (particularly in the science and the fighting scene) explained, the story itself confess to this reviewer that the author didn't simply slap all his finger thought to feel right and call it a day. No, no, this reviewer would bet that he had spent countless hours of research to understand the depth of the knowledge to manage to marry both ELI5 and good old exposition.
If this reviewer must nitpick though, as all of his kind required. The prologue before chapter 1 is a work to go through, not that it's not worth it, far from it. However the constant back and forth between different timelines of flashbacks require a bit of rereading to get the feel right. And the author's choice of using commas instead of periods is not helping in this aspect.
Also, this is a personal preference, however characters (until chapter 4) are not quite distinct, while this is perhaps an intentional choice of the author style, it had to be admitted that the manner of speaking between the existing characters save perhaps from the Jack itself are too similar to make contrast.
From the grammar aspect, even though it's far from this reviewer specialt

Amazing book which I absolutely love and hope will continue long into the future. The way he creates a story line that you never know where it is going to go I a great experience and the author does it well. The main character never gets free hand outs and always has to work for what they earn.

Some people are saying some rather unfair stuff in their reviews. This story is a very creative mix of scifi and magic fantasy. The protagonist is interesting and relatable. Writing a story is hard and it's very easy to dump all over someone else's work but I ask, "where's your story?" . If it's better than well take your criticisms but if it's worse then don't complain when I tear it apart. Writers get better over time as they learn just like anyone else. Few start as amazing writers. This is a free to read story online that will likely be edited by an editor later before going on sale. We get first to read an unpolished gem but rather than accept this fact people complain that it's not yet perfect or complete. Some people are never happy with what they have even when it's free.

Great start to a new story. I am enjoying the pacing and the system motivation seems better thought out than most of the Litrpg out on the market. I really look forward to reading more of this.

This is a well thought story and it is paced pretty well. The MC is likeable but so far remains fairly static. I'd like to see more personality growth out of him. The ancilliary characters are pretty fun. I do have a couple of constructive crticisms. The first being, please pay a litle closer attention to people involved in the action. I noticed in book one, the wrong name would frequently be used for a character speaking or doing an action. The second criticism is with word form. I bring this up because I believe you're self editing and spell check won't catch the wrong word form. There were several instances where a form of "Wait" was the appropriate word but you use a form of "Weight". Weight was spelled correctly so wouldn't have been caught but wasn't the right word. Those are just two very minor things in what is shaping up to be a really excellent tale that I have very much enjoyed up to the end of Book 2 and eagerly await Book 3.

This story is written really well, has compelling characters and worldbuilding, few errors (author cleaned up Alex vs Jack in recent chapters), and is well worth a read.
Lots of action, a good amount of stats, a story that hooks you, and lots of unique bits about the world and such. Give it a try!

This story has a great style of storytelling, I love how smoothly the notifications work with the story progression and actually help in the readers immersion
Also I like how despite their differences the party can still work together efficiently. Very reflective of real people and makes the characters more likeable.

This story is amazing. It's well thought out and played out very nicely. I love the main character and how he is going for some broken class but it's not easy getting there. He has to really work for it. There are times when it's hard to follow because the pace is just too fast. The characters constantly interrupt each other to finish each other sentences or unfinished thoughts. These are the only negative. It's a must read and I definitely recommend it.

Reviewed at chapter 19.
Follow along with Jack as he explores a universe unlike any other. Our universe is ripped to shreds. Humanity uses their technology to seed the new universe being born from its ashes with an AI program that they upload their minds into. A way to escape their imminent destruction.
Jack is one of those humans. Each one of the 'originals' remembers their past when they turn 18, merging their current and past lives. That change coincides with a choice: remain immortal or greater opportunity to grow powerful. For Jack, it isn't an easy choice when he learns some world-shaking news.
Now he's on an adventure, not just for himself, but for all of mankind.
Style Score: The author has a well attuned style, and each character has their own voice. The beginning chapters follow Jack in a starter village that FEELS like a starter village. Single POV is well done and appreciated.
Story Score: I've got mixed feelings on this one. By chapter 19, I was invested and eager to read. I'll definitely be following this novel to see what happens. BUT. But the first few chapters were painful to get past. I didn’t enjoy them and almost gave up. I'm glad I didn't, but I can't give five stars for the story score with that in the way.
Additionally, the setup of the starter village and storyline gives the impression that some things are just handed to the MC. They come too easily. It might be a plotline in and of itself, but it felt like handwaving.
Grammar Score: There are a few typos and misspelled words in this story, less than the average for Royal Road. Less than my own story, I'd bet. Unlike other stories on this site, the way this one is written causes the reader to lose immersion when they come across one.
Character Score: I like the Main Character, but there are opportunities I felt were lost when the emotional state of the MC wasn't fully described. Even a line or two here and there would do wonders for improving that.
Overall, I believe that
