  Top-notch LitRPG!
  For those of you looking for a new world to dive into, if you enjoy LitRPG / Isekai / Progression, you'll love this. Well-written, great MC, excellent wit, solid action scenes, and world-building that'll give you goosebumps.
  The hunter/druid perspective is superbly well done. Definitely give this a read!
  One comment: I almost gave this up within the first few chapters. The author was finding their tone and the early chapters read a bit dry (isekai / magic happens but lacking a bit of wonder). BUT if you get through those, the story quickly picks up pace and turns into a deeply engaging LitRPG with magic that feels like magic should.
  I thoroughly recommend this and will reread it as soon as the books are released!

  Super recomendo!
  A protagonista é muito carismática e a história é muito envolvente, entretanto, depois do primeiro arco ser resolvido, saturou um pouco pra mim.
  Gostei demais do progresso da evolução da protagonista e dos seus companheiros no ganho do poder.
  O mundo foi muito bem desenvolvido e a forma que os habitantes dele interagem com ela faz sentido.

  Overall Score
  It's a fun setting, not overly complicated or with any extreme physics, easy to follow along and easy to like. The storyline is fairly typical for the genre, but done in a fresh way with fun and likeable characters and events.
  While it took a little to find its legs and creativity (or better said, to decide where it wanted to go), from about mid-book 1 forward it has been smooth sailing.
  Enjoyable read with enjoyable characters.
  Style Score
  Said in the best way possible, it's a simple style.
  Not overly verbose, not filled with boring 50-page descriptions of the correct shape of a leaf, not overly esoteric, the good guys are good guys, the bad guys are bad guys, and frosty fluffy murder kittens are frosty fluffy murder kittens.
  Story Score
  It carefully and gracefully skirts the issue most Isekais have with the elements that show up in it. The Intro arc is done in a believable manner where the MC is neither a complete idiot nor an instant genius, the School arc doesn't devolve into High School Drama TM, the Dungeon arc doesn't automatically come with instructions nor do the NPC's use readily predictable walking patterns.
  The inicial OP'ness of the MC is believably explain in-universe and doesn't last forever.
  In short, while it does feel like D&D, it does not feel like an MMO, in the best possible way.
  Grammar Score
  Apart from the expected auto-correct mistakes, things seem to be fine. Nothing over-complicated or hard to follow, nothing fluffed up just for the word count, no weird pov changes or first person to third person shifts and no huge blocks of text where you lose track of who's where.
  Character Score
  While the NPC's do feel extremely generic sometimes, the main characters are well built and (most importantly) believable as people / pets.
  The MC is a loner without being cripplingly shy, rather by choice than any particular defect, good at her strengths but not overwhelmingly so, with weaknesses but not debilitating ones.
  Also, and I count this as

  Some times it run too fast, but great novel. Interesting system of leveling up, great charakters and companions, worlds tavels.  Main protagonist has unique chatisma and down to eart (dirt) thiking, want to be left alone by people (companions are animals). Maybe autor can add more of basic survivals techniques to begining this novel.

  It is refreshing to have a protagonist that is an introvert, doubly so when the introvert isn’t also arrogant selfish and/or villainous. Or that the introvert isn’t also meek and powerless. So yeah… nice change of pace to show the MC grow into their powers but not be OP nor need to be the charismatic leader of a group.
  The plot took some turns I didn’t see coming - nice to be surprised even though I’d have preferred some other plot twists… fun to see where the author takes the story next.

  This story is the author's first and a strong start. It has everything a LitRPG ProgFant should have, Skills that adapt and change to fit the user, levels, and the advancement to superhuman.
  Style:
  I like the style. I think the first chapters are a bit rough, but the author is very clearly improving. I honestly think there is quite a bit of charm to it in that way. The fact that I can see the author grow chapter by chapter. And it's not like the beginning is bad at all, it's quite a solid start and only gets better from there.
  Story:
  The story suits the premise. We are promised survival, we get survival. Feedback is taken into account super well. There is a little politics and some twists and turns, but they're all done reasonably and quite well.
  Grammar:
  Easy 5-stars, hardly any mistakes, most get fixed with edit suggestions.
  Characters:
  I love the MC. I like all the side characters a lot, too. I hope and pray for all the animal companions. We need more reptilians and amphibians they so cute.
  The other humanoid characters are also well written, make sense, with realistic backstories and overall sensible actions. Is good.
  Overall, Hunting and Herbalism is exactly what it says it is: hunting and herbalism. There's magic and shenanigans afoot, but at its heart it's about the main character surviving while throwing herself into environments most would be scared off. And I think it does so very well.

  I am really enjoying the story, the lone wolf MC that has a reasonable personality with emotions that make sense. The story goes at a good pace and while strong the MC is not overwhelming powerful which keeps the story interesting. I love the personality of the MC and overall recommend the book.

  It's surprising how rare is to see real character development. More than progression, the characters need to feel the experiences they accumulate and change with them.
  These books provide that in spades.
  Moreover the aliens - or fantasy species - are actually alien. They behave very differently, have strange drives, are interesting!

  It's really well written. I like the MC and her companion and how they are growing. The system is detailed while being fairly light at the same time. It's a good combo that scratched my crunchy itch without going overboard. The story line is moving smoothly and the pacing is nice as well as the relationships. There are enough long term threads to keep the interest without feeling too much life a cliffhanger. Looking forward to seeing how she faces this new challenge.

  Fast paced, with plenty of action. In depth initial descriptions of powers and encounters, then a summary of additonal encounters, so as not to drag with multiole similar recountings, whic I appreciate. Characters are fun and being fleshed out along the way, with quirks identified in fun ways. Love companion as much as she loves food.
