This story was In my next read list, I had read the blurb and it intrude me.
The story fascinates me to no end. But the spoilers in the comments somehow stole the excitement of this story from me :(
But well it's still okay, let's talk about the advance review.
Style: I have given the style four stars not because I didn't like it but because the narration is a little fast for me. The story unfolds a little too quickly.
Story: The whole plot (as much as I have read) is very interesting.
Grammar is all too fine, simple and concise, perfect for understanding.
The characters are well. It's good. Let's say there are a few things that are neither too attractive nor too unattractive. Every story has a flaw, nothing is perfect after all, Stories are another definition of creating a lie and illuminating it into something interesting. Few hold this art.
As a reader, I loved this story and will continue through it to the end.

This novel has some interesting ideas, particularly in its power system and the ideas behind the world building, but the actual execution of the ideas are seriously hindered by the character writing and presentation of the story.
Let's start with the good. The power system is interesting, and the systems at play that control the second Earth and how it differs from their home planet are intriguing if backed by a bunch of fantasy described as science. Humans have levels for *science* reasons, and other powers at play can transform humans into demihumans of various races, some seen before and some not. The ideas being played with are interesting and the main reason I kept reading.
Grammar, for the most part, is fine and typos are extremely rare.
Now for the issues, most of which stem from the characters.
If I had to describe the characters in this novel, it would be something like this: The author has a draft for a play that they want their characters to follow, they hand out this draft to a bunch of terrible actors, and the actors all attempt to play out their role in an attempt to let the main character Artie get to his next plot development. If an actor happens to miss a line or forget to act out a scene, the rest of the actors just continue as if the line was said and the scene was done. This leads to basically every character acting completely nonsensically and there are so many examples of this it's hard to even pick. Basically the entire first village arc could be used as the example.
Artie (The MC) Gets to a small village after running alone through the woods for 5ish days after landing on the new earth through AI magic and escaping the predators in the area. He gets to the town severely injured, and the play starts. The characters he meets give him a rock, the rock glows and says he's a hunter level 1, they then proceed to explain nothing of what that means (the entirety of humanity has just been given magical powers with gaming elements and noone talks about
