good soup, very good summoning, mc is very nicely written, the details are good, grammar seems spot on, the diversity of potential summons so far is very interesting, I enjoyed reading it and was honestly frustrated that I read all available chapters in less than 5 hours, but that goes to show how good it is! 10/10 would recommend.

The author of this story is hilarious. I love reading their author notes. The actual story is also great! Minor grammar or misspellings, nothing that disrupts the flow of the book. The background for the main character is really unique and really drives the story forward. So far the MC has been a nice balance of good guy and monster murder hobo. My favorite kind of MC. Give this story a try, you won't regret it.

Great story so far. It’s great to see a main character use their head and not just brute force through their problems with powerful summons. Also love how the main character treats his summons like friends really evokes the vibe of the old Pokémon anime from when I was a kid but maybe that’s just me

The main character has nice depth of character and the story flows smoothly and is very engaging.
So far I really like how the summoning system works, and I am excited to find out what more it has to offer.
There have been no grammatical errors as far as I could tell.

The story is good, i wish it maintains it's consistency. The world-building is good too. It doesn't lean to much from his exp in Lumia but it's still there.The MC is progressing fairly well while also contributing to the welfare of the populace. It reduces the early dangers so that the potential of others can be gained. His not selfish even after what happened to him.The support characters are good too. With varyjng degrees of being included in the arc they are part of. And not forgetting important characters and their own progression. Meaning it's not only the MC that is progressing. The advantage of the MC is knowledge and memory as well as trained skill learned from experience. Not automatically OP that can bulldoze the story and maling it boring.In writing is commendable like it is reviewed and proofed read before being published. Haven't seen any misspelled or glaring grammatical corrections. I can say it's well written. Kudos to the Author and to any that helped create this woderful story.I personally like in the story too the adapration the monsters that appeared to earth. Using our own garments as clothes, etc.All in all, i say good work. I'll keep folllowing and reading this until it's published in amzn/kndle or @ audible.

The story is just getting off the ground but so far it has been an awesome mix of comedy and seriousness, the combat is fun and the MC's abilities and unique and interesting. Not to mention the magic system has that wonderful blend between scientific method and mystical wonder that makes it great. Can't wait to see more!

Well written and compelling story. MC seems chill but I bet he will have to deal with his trauma later on.Overall a very nice take on a mix of (post) Isekai, Returnee and System Apocalypse genres.Vey interesting way of introducing a system that seems to be adapting to Earth's culture as much as forcing it to adapt.

Summoner’s Ascent is a fast-paced, action-packed, pedal-to-the-metal adventure that you don’t want to miss. So far, there hasn’t been much downtime, and the slower parts are just long enough to catch your breath. Dice has a type, and summoners are kind of their thing.
This story plops you into the middle of Ashton’s (Ash’s) very complicated life. The first page details Ash’s return to Earth after the previous planet he was on failed to stop the System Apocalypse. He had the unfortunate luck of getting yanked into servitude for a big old mean summoner from that doomed world. Ash was forced into service against his will as a summon, but his misfortune might have been a boon in disguise.
Now the System Apocalypse has somehow followed Ash to Earth, but he’s already seen how this plays out. He knows the rules, the quests, he knows how the System works from his time as a summon.
Overall, the story is very entertaining. It’s the classic LitRPG, pulp-fiction power fantasy that Royal Road is known for. The point is to kick ass, chew bubble gum, and feel like a badass one bus ride to or from work/school at a time.
Let’s get into the scores, because everyone loves numbers—especially authors. Here are the categories and their relevant domains.
Starting with Style: 4/5 Stars.
(The general feeling of the piece as created by the author's word choice, literary devices, and unique way of writing.)
This is pure pulp power fantasy we’re talking about here. So, we’re looking for fast, snappy sentences. Paragraphs that aren’t boorishly long. And info dumps well hidden in dialogue and introspection.
Dice delivers.
There are some repetitive choices, such as:
“The sound of the broken television sounded out.”
“Ashton responded excitedly, but Sam just stayed silent for a few moments. "What the- man, what's going on?" Sam groaned and waited for a few moments.”
Dice has a number of favorite phrases they like to echo, all authors do, but sometimes those echoes are uncomfortably close. Fortunate

I like the story so far especially when you take it for what it is.
My personal preferences area but different and if you expect introspection, emotions, etc. then this is not for you, but it has a good pacing, has a lot of action and seems to have picked a direction. Couldn't ask for more.
Love it's strengths, don't mind it's weaknesses all that much.
Looking forward to see where this going.

Good summoner with lots of difficulty. Knowledge from previous life and some realistic out to help but me first which makes more sense. Lots of people unwilling to kill like people that think meat just pops up in grocery store with no animals involved lol hero has suffered and lost some torture elements..not sure about romance yet
