It's got a cool idea and I like the set up of how he make it to the new world. It's well edited for grammer and spelling. Could maybe use a bit of tweaking in the pacing between exposition and action, but still flows well. Looking forward seeing where it goes from here and more of how the system works.

Just 10 chapters in, and I'm already hooked on "Riftor"! It’s an absolutely riveting blend of science and fantasy. You'll get sucked into Alistair's world, packed with gripping adventures and some serious brain-busting energy conundrums. Even in its early stages, it’s shaping up to be a killer read for any LITRPG fan. Can't wait for the rest!

Good characterization and world building for early chapters. Writing style is fluid and easy to read. Good use of different voices and ways to indicate who is speaking and how they are communicating. With mental communicating snd telepathically bonded familiar types it's very helpful. I also enjoy the sparky commentary on skill and ability use.

This has been fun to read, and I look forward to each update. Myst is a lot of fun, and Alistair as a character is likeable and somebody I want to see succeed.
Style - overall the writing is dynamic and fun. I do feel as though we've gotten pretty exposition-heavy very early, though that's not uncommon for the genre. I am looking forward to more "show" vs "tell" but I'm confident we'll get there with time. Humor is present throughout which is a plus.
Story - a compelling hook for an isekai, and I find myself excited to see where it goes. As mentioned above, the exposition takes away a bit from the momentum. As we move past some of that I think it'll get back on track.
Grammar - its been clean. I'm sure there's a typo or two floating around, but it doesn't detract from my experience with the story.
Characters - they're fun. Alistair is somebody I enjoy reading, and adding in the quirky presence of Myst only improves it. I like their interplay off one another.
All said and done, this is a fun fiction. The author has done a great job beginning to build their world, and I'm excited to see the story develop from here!
