  This fiction follows Noah Smith who wakes up in a game world very much like Log Horizon. The MC is like Dead pool if he exclusively made gamer puns. The story is a comedy taking place in a play through of an RPG with NPCs, quests and a tutorial. The MC chooses a Magical gunslinger class and is not OP at all. He nearly gets beaten by a level 1 slime during the tutorial. By chapter 10 he has met a friend. a fellow player who fills in covering for his weaknesses, making them a good team.
  The style is very smooth and straightforward. The jokes may be a bit niche for some readers. The text is very descriptive of the world, though some phrases used to describe things are like... repetitive. That said the story is still fun and light hearted.
  Grammar and spelling: I saw no issues with the spelling and grammar. well done.
  Characters: the story doesn't spend a lot of time developing the backgrounds or motivations of the characters. It feels like the setting is the primary focus and all the players are just there to have fun.
  story: the story follows popular tropes effectively and has a interesting wide world to explore. The story makes good use of tension and has good pacing.
  Overall, though the story has room for improvement, it is still a good story.

  Endless Dungeon: The Misadventures of a Gunslinger Who Can’t Shut Up is a classic take on the system fantasy with the addition of guns. The story is a pleasant and light read that can draw you in easily. Where it shines, in my opinion, is the gunfights. I myself am not a fan of guns in fantasy, but I have to say they work here. The fighting is not simply stand-and-shoot but is actually gripping and dynamic, with adrenaline-pumping action.
  Style: The style is lighthearted and easy to read. Although the fights and action certainly have stakes, the conversations and quips add comedy. There is a lot of quippy humor, and although it can sometimes be too much, the jokes hit the mark and make sense, so it never pulls you out of the world.
  Story: The story is a classic of the RPG genre. There is not much setup, and not much is needed. The guy gets an offer and is tossed away into a dungeon world, and the fun begins. And we are all here for the fun part.
  Grammar: Nothing to comment on, all on point.
  Character: The titular gunslinger is a funny and ironic young dude who is easy to like. Even though he is our MC, he is not invincible and learns from his mistakes, which is always nice to see. He shines in battles with some quick shooting and even quicker jokes.
  Overall, a very good take on a classic. Recommended.

  Gunslinger hits the ground running and doesn't stop! This is a fun, light-hearted action romp with an enjoyable snarky MC and a fun world to explore. I enjoyed my time with it quite a bit and will definitely come back for more as the series progresses.
  Style:
  The author's writing style is crisp and clean with a lot of personality to it. The rapid pacing keeps things moving right along, and the enjoyable dialogue between the two (now three with my big guy Dimitri added to the roster) main characters is sharp and fast, matching the tone of the writing and world perfectly.
  Characters:
  Noah is a fun wild man to follow. His skills and experience as a master gamer are serving him well in this new world, and I'm enjoying it quite a bit watching him have to overcome the challenges he faces in the form of mobs and monsters that aren't just cannon fodder from the word Go. Eve is a cynical dungeon fairy that I get vibes of "don't get attached to this one because I've seen too many others die", and I outright *love* Dimitri. I have a feeling he's gonna be my favorite.
  Story:
  It's early days yet in the series so the main story is only just beginning to form. Noah seems happy with the challenge of "getting to the bottom of the dungeon" as a driving motivator - which matches his personality - but there are hints of something bigger at work just off screen. The too-powerful level-1 monsters, the question of what exactly drew him to the new world and why... There are some questions the current plot raises that I'm eager to have answered!
  Grammar:
  No notes! Everything is crisp and clean and the writing does a solid job of conveying what it needs to without overstaying its welcome. Very well done!
  Overall:
  I'm enjoying my time with Gunslinger, and am definitely looking forward to more! The author has a solid start to a snarky power-fantasy LitRPG here, and I'm in for the ride!

  Get ready for some punches because you’re getting them and you’re going to love it. Such a refreshing take on the LitRPG/Dungeon trope, that never lets you down chapter by chapter. It’s written in such a way that absolutely everyone can just pick it up and get stuck in and you’re never thrown more than you need to know. Because just like Noah the main character, we’re all in this Gunslinging tale. There’s much more to him than the quips and one-liners he has, and it’s really captured as you read more of the story. He’s a fish out of water and coping in the way that he knows best. The LitRPG elements really help it standout as well, they’re not just easy number paddings, there’s been a ton of thought into it and has a lot more of a relation to the story than I think anyone may realise just yet.
  Story
  The humour is sprawling throughout really contrasts the severity of the game world he’s dragged into. It’s bleak as hell and Noah despite is best efforts is a fish out of water as he even the most basic of moments is more like a mini boss in the Eternal Dungeon.  A slime that nearly ends him in his first fight, and then a chance meeting of a what I think is going to be a fan favourite in Dimitri then onto fighting  wolf’s that at level 1 are frighteningly dangerous to face.
  Between the downtime, side quests and field bits, it’s a world brimming with life. And yet at the same time I get vibes that literally nothing is what it seems at the time.
  Grammar
  Absolutely no issues here at all. It’s surprising how well everything just transitioned into each other. There’s a ton of description but in a good way, it’s dotted throughout the chapters but never feeling like an info dump.
  Character
  I love the guy he’s a whirlwind in the best way possible. Hyper optimistic and continuously trying to still have that gamer mind set despite being repeatedly being blasted backwards with the world he’s fallen into. Nothing he says is just for the sake of it, it’s often honest and worthw

  Style
  The writing style is confident, accessible, and modern—anchored by Noah’s consistent inner voice. Humor is used well; it adds flavor without overwhelming the action or emotional beats. Dialogue flows naturally and rarely feels forced, which helps keep things immersive. That said, there are moments where the humor risks undercutting the tension, particularly in scenes meant to carry weight. A bit more variation in tone during critical moments could help create contrast and raise stakes more effectively.
  Story
  The story does a solid job introducing the world, game mechanics, and stakes without heavy exposition. The pacing is brisk, and the scenarios escalate logically—from soloing a slime to teaming up with Dimitri for a more tactical encounter.
  Grammar
  Technically, the writing is polished. Grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure are handled well, making for smooth reading. Transitions between action and dialogue are fluid, and paragraphing is well balanced. If anything, trimming a few of the longer action sequences might tighten the flow in places, but nothing stands out as distracting or clunky.
  Character
  Noah is a strong lead—clever, flawed, and easy to connect with. His sarcasm feels earned rather than performative, and it’s balanced by his growing competence. Dimitri provides a fun counterpoint with his big heart and tanky bravado, though he sometimes drifts close to caricature. A few subtler traits could help him feel more grounded. Side characters like Nene are introduced effectively, but so far remain in the background.
  Overall
  This is a strong and engaging start with a clear voice, good pacing, and a smart balance of humor and tension. The action scenes are creative, the world feels alive, and the characters have distinct personalities that carry the tone well. With a bit more tonal variety and a clearer long-term hook, the story has excellent potential to grow into something memorable. It’s a fun read with a lot of personality and a confident hand

  The title really sums up the story so far. Noah has been transported and rather than being traumatised, it's as if he still has his headset on and is complaining about broken bosses and cheats. If you're a gamer, you'll enjoy the references like I did. The closest comparison I can think of would be, Tower of God in a video game with a dash of humour.
  First, this is a very easy read. The prose is great, with nice descriptions of the imagery and particularly on the action. The pacing is ideal; no chapter runs on too long, but none of them feel short, either. It just hit the sweet spot.
  For characters, Noah is of course, a loudmouth who always has something to say. So, having Eve (the voice in his head) shut him up or dwindle his ego gives them a funny dynamic that can only grow. I quite liked how Noah wasn't worried about the real world and instantly rolled with the punches of this new adventure, even if it's trying its best to kill him.
  The story is solid, an end goal of beating the endless dungeon, but so far little is known about the world, so I'm waiting to see more as the story will naturally progress as the chapters go on. The world has endless potential, so I can imagine anything is possible here.
  Overall, this is an enjoyable read and it can really only get better from where I have read. Considering this story has essentially endless potential for world-building, I'm excited to see where it goes.

  Style:
  quite a lot of effort has been put into the style. The narrative voice is very distinct if a little cheesy at times. Snark seeps from every word in the narration, an interesting choice and one I’m sure will resonate with the right audience. The style isn’t for me and that’s fine. I think it’s clear that the author put a ton of effort into giving the narrative a unique feeling, even if it over relies on memes and references that might not age well.
  Story:
  The story is okay. It’s not exactly a classic like The Brothers Karamazov but a decent enough story to be a solid web novel. I think the author has a lot of talent I can definitely right some good stuff if he plans of pursuing writing as a career.
  Grammer:
  I don’t remember any errors which is impressive. Honestly the writing quality is probably better than mine.
  Character:
  This is easily the strongest aspect of the story. Every description, every interaction is bursting with character and easily allows for Noah to feel like a real person. Like a lot of these kinds of stories the MC does seem oddly at peace with leaving his past life behind. This is something I’ve come to accept as weird quirk of this genre so I won’t let it affect the score.
  overall this is a decent story, nothing too crazy but better than a lot of the slop that dominates RR. I wish you good luck and keep it going.

  I am really not trying to be mean here. This is a genuinely interesting concept that I think could be a very fun read but the problem is the writing quality. The dialogue feels forced and almost cringe worthy at times due to the "game lingo" that feels forced and not suitable for the situation. Also the MC just gets over the whole being in a video game way to fast. I think there is potential for the concept but its not there yet for me to enjoy it.
