    For context: I'm a D&D 5e player and dungeon master myself. I'm also sort of a rules lawyer, so from that perspective I had big expectations for this story. So far (chapter 27) I am not disapointed.
    Style: I like the style a lot, the idea with the dice rolls and the colors is very good, with advantage/disadvantage you could possibly mark the roll that is used, e.g. highlight it in bold and/or underlined, like this: (Skill(disadvantage source): x/y +z=a). Then there are the pictures, I haven't seen that very often, I like it very much and I'd love to see more of them!
    Grammar: A few small mistakes here and there, usually just one letter is missing, I know that from my own attempts at writing. Nothing that would greatly impede the flow of reading.
    Story: A kind of Isekai story mixed with D&D. I like the world building very much, the description of the places and people is clear and concise and together with the pictures (again, more of them are welcome!) a good picture of the world is drawn. Especially in the last few chapters there are a few hints that indicate that this isn't going to be just a more or less generic good versus evil story, but something with a little more depth. I just hope it doesn't drift into a love story, they are firstly mostly boring and secondly when not boring then hard to write in a way that's believable.
    Characters: The, so far, three main characters are very different and easily distinguishable. We have the main character, the hero, the seriousness, the situation and the leadership overview. Then the scholars, always in search of new knowledge. And then the paranoid loot enthusiast. All are well written and fun to play with. I just hope that the love affairs that are hinted at remain small and don't end in cringe. I also hope that in the end 5 characters with ten (!) names not become too many. There's only so much room in a story and with 5 characters, hopefully well written antagonists and a whole range of supporting characters you have t

    So far I have enjoyed the start through the first 35 chapters.  The character development is good with distinct personalities and drives.  The story is developing but still seems to be very early on in the main plot line. I was looking to start a litrpg, but don't know if I'm crazy about the dice rolls. They seem manufactured but also don't distract from the story.  They probably did get me interested in starting the story.
    I'm looking forward to the next chapter and think I'll follow this one for a while
