★★★★★ 5.0
Sometimes the task of revenge falls to you because there's no one else left. Or so that's the situation Lani finds herself in with her parents dead and her brother missing and presumed dead. And when seeking that revenge involves risking death, she sucks it up and takes the plunge. So starts this LitRPG with dungeon granted abilities and Xianxia-like power-ups.
We're still early on in the story, but there's already a lot to like about it, from the pacing which starts right into the action without getting bogged down in expository world building to the relatable main character to the interesting ability system and how the abilities are acquired. I tend to avoid stories tagged 'Superhero' but this story has felt more like a contemporary dystopian LitRPG than superhero, and I'm glad I gave it a try.
Story 5.0
The story is in the early stages having just finished the introductory arc, but I like the author's initial setup (orphaned MC seeking revenge by joining the organization responsible for her parents' death) and there's potential for complex character growth and morally difficult decisions depending on how the author works the plot.
Characters 5.0
Thus far the few characters that have been introduced (the dedicated but missing brother, the vulnerable but driven and risk-taking MC, the talkative thief seatmate) are complex and interesting with each being more than they initially seem to be. Hopefully, the trend will continue into the next story arc.
Style 4.5
In general, I like the style. Early on there are some issues where long paragraphs should be broken up into several smaller paragraphs but this becomes less of a problem later where the paragraph lengths are better arranged and nicely varied. Character actions and tags used to frame the dialog show good variety and avoid overuse of said/asked. Some instances of present tense narration have slipped into a few of the chapters, but it's uncommon enough to overlook.
Grammar 4.5
The author has a good grasp of gramma

★★★★★ 4.5
Currently enjoying this story though it has a very gamer-y element to it that I wasn't expecting as I somehow overlooked the Dungeon tag. I relented and continued despite this stumbling block as the story is interesting and I'm a sucker for dystopia.
The synopsis of this is short and sweet and it does what it says on the tin. The superheroes are introduced though little detail has been given about any individual hero yet. We have a tiny glimpse of how they interact with MC but nothing yet about how they interact with each other which would have been interesting to see (but it's still early days yet).
The current world is also introduced, but it has been left to unfold naturally, rather than via lengthy exposition (which is appreciated).
I even read the prologue! Which I normally skip over and was pleasantly surprised to see that it was both relevant to the main storyline and wasn't a dull, dry read.
Some of the interactions between characters are a little cliche which is the only reason that I've knocked down style and characters a smidge. Maybe I'll change my mind as the story progresses.
I've also been overly generous on the grammar scoring as this isn't 4.5/5 but most of the author's writing has strong grammar so I'm assuming that the speedy output of writeathon is the real culprit, rather than a lack of ability.

Rise!
