Hero? I'm assassin, but that's the same right?

Description
Pyro is quite a notorious assassin on Earth, and was enrolled in the 'Black hands' in the 'Arachne' Division as one of the best assassins at that time, and the most secretive one. He has different set of values and in some cases lacks common sense, but as being the one who get the job done by any means necessary was one of the reasons to his fame, or infamy, depending on who you would ask.
It's year 2026, and the third world war will soon commence, but before that Pyro has a target to eliminate... or two.

As I am new to writing and not a native english speaker, there is bound to be mistakes, not critical though mind you. Oh and comedy is there just bacause I will try to make MC funny... and happy-go-lucky... probably... oh and he will be/is OP... There's no point in weaklings, right?

- WasteAgeRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Enjoying the story just decided to read some random story due to boredom. Glad I picked this one because it's interesting. I find the MC fun due to the fact he dosnt care about race because everyone is the same in his head alive and not so alive. also his crazy shit makes the story even more enjoyable. The main problem for me would be the Fact the fights are very unimaginative and a bit bland because they lack in the thrill factor.
- AvagantimosRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0I had a nice little review going but my phone crashed so I lost all of it qq. Anyway this is definitely a series I will be keeping an eye on and recommend reading up until the ball, felt so good for some reason.....maybe because of the Alien thing hehe. Grammar isn't perfect but it's quite good with mistakes being very small in scale. Love Pyro. Also when you update his status can you put in his new skills with a different font or color? It's so long that even reading all of it I can't find the new additions haha.
- TrueGuardian32Royal Road★★★★ 4.0So far its pretty good, It has a set in stone Character personality, [Still can get carved though] Multiple Heros, One MC. MC is OP at start due to past, and the OPness can be explained too, Some nostalgic references. A Status with its own mind. Possible goddess in disguise of Status, or its AI, could also be a natural being with its own intelligence, Hard to tell in the early stages of story. Giving this a 4/5 for now. Because we don't have enough chapters for a full 5/5 star review, but it has a incredibly amount of potential and could go to a 5/5 star review.
- wlsnbilybRoyal Road★★★★ 3.5Interesting characters and story, brought down by grammar that gets almost nonsensical at times so that I barely understand what's happening, unhelped by the random changes of pov between first and 3rd person. Definitely has potential, just bogged in technical difficulties, nothing a little experience can't fix. Keep at it author!
- ThethomasRoyal Road★★★ 2.5Author's grammar and story structure are massive hindrances. Fails to set scenes and provide imagery or any other descriptive devices.
The author seems to have settled on a combination of 3rd person omniscient and first person limited which is an excellent combination to use in order to highlight the protagonist's insanity but is poorly executed due to the lack of structure and descriptive devices.
Has potential but needs a rewrite. - genxdellRoyal Road★★ 1.5Keep in mind I only made it up to Chapter 10 but that's all you really need to make up your mind whether you want to drop it or not.
Style: The author does this thing where s/he writes dialogue like a script. Like, s/he writes the name of the character speaking and then the dialogue. Show more and tell less? Not a lot of description, it reads like a Walmart Light Novel.
Story: What story? You came here for a power fantasy. Let's not kid ourselves here.
Grammar: Author really likes his/her ellipses. Here's a paragraph from Chapter 10 and I'll have you judge the author's grammar.
"So... getting his ass handled to him... nearly in literal sense... Justice Jerk was now getting treatment... and oh how I'm not envious... Really that magister... hell... I dunno... scary? But he knows what he do."
Character: The protagonist is like a cringe version of Deadpool. The author writes the protagonist as this sort of self-aware character and "crazy" or "quirky". The other characters and I don't even want to call them characters but I don't know what else to call them. They're all pretty one-sided. It feels like I'm looking at an 8-bit, two dimensional people.
TL;DR
Pretty bad, even for a power fantasy/wish fulfilment story. If the grammar was better and less ellipses I probably wouldn't have dropped this one. Maybe get someone to proofread your work? I'm down for some power fantasy and wish fulfilment, it's a guilty pleasure for me, but I just couldn't get through the writing. Keep writing though, you'll get better.
