I think I'll delve into the details before I give a general overview. When I say it, it actually feels a little backwards...but, it's easier to tackle small things first.
Style - Yes.
Reading this reminds me of many other stories I've read (printed, of course), and I found myself enjoying myself. I think the way you write is working great.
Story - Intriguing
The story is pretty simple, with the idea of building and settling...I don't see too big of an absolute goal, but I think it's all right how the story is going right now. Just wanting to provide for some settlers is motivating enough to continue reading.
Grammar - Better than most, I'd say.
I caught one spelling mistake. Other than that, I had zero problems following the text right to the very end (currently chapter nine). Proofread well, and I think you'll be fine. Even if you don't proofread, I bet your readers will catch it for you anyway, at least, if they decide to say anything in your comments.
Character - I think I'm starting to know them.
For me, characters are the biggest point of influence. While I like action and suspense, characters tell me more story than explanation. Currently, the characters are starting to get pretty familiar, and I can't wait to see how they'll develop in the future.
Overall - I like the story.
As an isekai reader, I would definitely pick this book up and read it at all points of the day possible. Once I'd finish whatever volume I had, I'd be waiting to buy up the next one on whatever book hunt I go on next. Good job.

I don't know what more to say other than this was really nice to read.
Unfortunately, there is no Truck-kun, but regardless the "getting to a new world" sequence was quick and the narrative progression began without much delay after that which is always a win in my books.
Even though the story is only 10 chapters deep, I can already feel the snowball building very well, meaning the pacing has been carefully plotted and the story benefits immensely from it.
The main character is pretty typical for your LITRPG MC and in my mind that is no bad thing. The system is also something pretty typical, and also beautifully simple, meaning less time is spent explaining random system shenanigans.
Overall a very nice kingdom building litrpg.

This is a very literal kingdom-building story. A main character who is sent to another world to *literally* start from nothing and see how much he can build up. There's something very satisfying about a story like this, with simple objectives like "Build an altar" or "Increase the population of your area to X." The goals are visible things, like the things we'd try to achieve in real life if we were transported to a pre-civilized situation/location, but aided by a System.
If that basic outline of what kind of story this is appeals to you, you will probably like this one. The style is a bare bones one, for the most part, not interfering with our perception of the characters and the events, but there are also moments of dry wit or other humor that are noteworthy.
I'm interested (and entertained) to continue visiting the world this story is unfolding.
The characters have not been sketched out fully yet, as we're still in fairly early days in this story, but there are already at least three distinct personalities in the small cast, and I have a good feel for what sort of people we're dealing with.
The grammar is probably the only small minus in the story, in that it's imperfect, but it's pretty consistent for the most part. The author is a non-native speaker, and considering that, the grammar is very good.

I was not sure what to expect from this book, since I usually do not read books of these types. I was in for a surprise, and what a pleasant surprise it was.
This book is about a man who does not seem like leader material at all, yet he is going to find himself in this role. He just wants to have a new start. And that is precisely what will be given to him. However, as soon as he chooses his class as Settler, he will be in for a big surprise.
Style: I love the style that this book has been written in. It feels consistent, and it has a nice pacing with a few time skips. Which is good, or else we will be reading ten chapters about how somebody is fishing and chopping wood.
Grammar: The grammar is fine, I noticed a slight error here or there, but nothing too major. Nothing that interrupts the flow of reading.
Story: The story is great, it totally gave me the feeling as if you are playing an Age of Empire game where the people randomly spawn to help you. I do wonder what the meaning is behind them appearing. I expect that this will be explained further down the road.
Character score: While I really like the main character, there are plenty of other characters since this is a village building book. I need some extra time to find out who will become the main cast, who is going to wear red shirts, and more things. But this will all be revealed in due time.
If you are looking for a fun book, then this is the correct choice!

This story is four stars, but it's a solid four stars. The writer has room to improve, but the story has enough quality that it's definitely worth reading, especially if you like kingdombuilding stories.
My primary criticism is that the story seems to move quite fast at the beginning. My secondary criticism is that the MC could be more interesting somehow. My tertiary criticism is that the author is lacking a unique voice or style to their writing.
But it's pretty good despite those criticisms if you like the genre. As always, I encourage the author to keep writing.
