TL;DR: Great implementation of hero's journey with a training montage that gave me a need to read some old treaties and maybe improve myself more. Great Scotsman, this is some properly good reading by an author who likes to teach and expound on a multitude of topics. And loves to learn. :)
I love you, author, as you've made art which imparts want to learn besides entertainment. Thank you.
This is what it looks like when you use the genre for your purpose. When you are good enough to either understand or feel the rules and internalize them, you can use the right tools in the right situation and create a work of beauty. And it left me in awe.
That said, there are a few things that could make me happier when reading. The training montage feels, despite the deliberate pace, a bit hurried, and I might have preferred to take it slower.
Even though, now, reflecting upon the situation of the world created by the imagination and knowledge you present, it might not be in as much of a hurry as I thought. There is, after all, the world opening at large, and the scope of building it needs to keep the level of detail is fit for several books.
Oh, how I hem. Oh, how I haw. For I don't want to stop pondering the world and what else can I find in this font of fun and childlike sense of glee and anticipation of learning something I have dismissed, now given new enticing forms. But it is time to stop my tangent and get to a review, short as it might be.
How do you rate the grammar of someone, who knows more of several language systems than you do? You don't. You just acknowledge it is beyond you for now. Let's leave it for some other time, ages and ages hence and trod the road well travelled by.
Style? Oh, it is glorious. I have seen better, but it is, as much as everything here, used with uncommon competency. And not just for this site. I have not been reminded of Capek; My favourite author, not just for his use of Czech language in some of his works I've read and treasure, and see a

The story is well-written, well researched, and well-edited. It's a little bit on the slower side, our MC doesn't become the Hero who saves the world overnight like in some stories, but the pacing works well for this kind of story. Liam is not only getting stronger in levels but also as a man, discovering who he wants to be and how to become that person. Basically, he's human. And I enjoy that a lot. 10/10 rubber duckies.

Every element about this story is fantastic and is shaping out to be one of, if not the best, LTITRPGs I've ever read.
It is clear that the author took their time in researching and crafting this world, characters, conflicts, and power systems, As it is unmatched by many of its contemporaries in the genre.
I cannot wait for further updates and look forward to the protagonist's romance and city-building plotlines (if they exist).

I wanted to wait till I'd read all available chapters before reviewing, but I don't think I have the patience for that.
This is a fantastic story so far. Rich in details and descriptions, while still remaining engaging.
The setting is quite interesting, and I look forward to see how the story unveils.

this story is an oasis in a desert of terrible litrpgs. the author has put incredible effort, love, and skill into this work and it reads like a high quality novel in a genre (that i desperately want to love) riddled with unreadable garbage. when a finished book is released i will be buying it if for no other reason than to support the author.

This story is incredibly well thought out. My gut feeling is to compare it to Bernard Cornwell's incomparable trilogy of Arthurian legend Warlord Chronicles. If you were to try and craft a LitRPG with the same care in detail, I imagine this is what you would get.
This story deserves to be read
That being said - for me and many others, we won't be the ones to be reading it in its entirety. The only detractor to this fantastic story is its greatest strength - the setting. If you are not currently looking to read a story based on real world history then the enjoyment will falter after finding appreciation of the craftwork put into its creation.
If this isn't a published author's penname posting a forray into serialized fiction then I'm utterly astonished. I can't wait to see what other worlds Carl Dehal can come up with once done in this one.

As you might have noticed I have only read the prologue and the first chapter for this review, but that is enough. You can see the author's passion for the time period and understanding of the time period on which he relies from what he has written so far and even if he fumbles at some later point, this start justifies an early reading investement. Give it a try.

Like this story a lot. Great attention to detail and the author is also interacts in the comment sections regularly which I appreciate. The author has obviously thought a lot about this world, has a plan, and isn't just blindly stumbling along the storytelling path. Looking forward to seeing where he goes with the MC and the story

It's a LitRPG that feels like it was written by someone who majored in history.... and yet somehow it works perfectly, between the excellent pacing and deep lore (don't worry, it's all show but not tell.... no info dumps here boys.) it just all clicks together so well.
In my opinion it's criminal that this story isn't more highly rated, if it continues then i can certainly see it being one of the big hitters.
I've seen some people talking in the comments about grammar or how they were annoyed about some characters having an accent written in, maybe it's because i came along a bit later and am reading an edited version, but i had no complaints on that side.
The character starts off as a bit of a blank slate, but he gradually comes into himself as he explores the world and is shaped by his circumstances, again, no complaints here.
Honestly, the only reason I'm still writing at this point is because 200 words feels like it's longer then you would think, I'm sure that everyone can see my point by now, it's a great read with a good slow burn.... go out and give it a try.
