  ★★★★★ 4.5

  Tensing in this story threw me off so damn heavily. I get that it's grammatically okay to do, I get that there's nothing wrong with doing it, and I understand that I shouldn't rank a fiction lower just because of it.
  But screw whoever thought that. I don't like those kinds of tenses and that's my personal opinion. Some people on this site are going to like it, and I will respect their decision(even if it's a stupid-*ss decision.)
  Grammar is alright. Kinda heavy on descriptions and not much else. Would have to read more to figure out if it's just like that in the start but I guess I'll leave that up to any other readers. 4.6/5 from me.

  ★★★★ 4.0

  The premise it´s a promising one, a human from our world throw it in a one who resembles the alien worlds of the stories of Clark Ashton Smith, the grammar it´s right but i feel a bitt confused right now by the direction that it´s a full description right now of the setting and the protagonist trying to process this uknown situation not giving much attention to understand the nature and motives of the other characters because of the language barrier, but it´s the main course for now, there it´s potential.

  ★★★★ 3.5

  Vast majority of everything is internal monologue, which is fine up until a point of excess. Plot doesn't follow show through doing, but monologue everything to fill an entire chapter, and this gets tedious when everything is overly vague. It's slow paced to the point of 23 chapters barely feel like anything has happened. It's just reading the thoughts of the main character, as minor things happen.
  If this was about a fighting video game, it would waste an entire chapter on inner monologue why the player hits the A button to throw a single punch, and takes dozens of chapters to finish the round.
  Some people like this style, but it's not worth it when the story doesn't have enough chapters to go anywhere, and you know every update will be just as slow paced. It's more of a "read later" novel after there's 500 chapters, which should be enough to have a plot line you can follow.
  The existing content right now can be summarized in a few sentences. Guy transmigrated, can't speak the language, goes on a small trip, sees some monsters, then learns some questionable magic, which I honestly find repulsive with how it works by sacrificing the users body. That takes 23 chapters to happen, and you still don't have any strong plotline other than what the main character imagines is happening. So it may be interesting enough to start reading, but it's definitely not worth following minor updates, as that would tax most people's patience.
  I believe some authors do this deliberately to pad content over time. Which is only tolerable when there is a balance, and you have a proper story to follow. If you don't have a clear story, and no balance, well there's no reason to keep reading. People drop shows after watching the first few episodes, and it's no different for novels. So if the first chapters are too slow and boring, people quit reading. I shouldn't have to point this out, but it appears common sense isn't that common. I honestly think there needs to be a list of common sense rec
