  "The Entropic Knight - a litRPG" by Stimpius is a gripping read which keeps you wanting more.
  The story-line has me eaglery awaiting new chapters all the time!
  Very well written and very well split into chapters to distinguish between scenes and also to give the cliffhanger effect. The author uploads regularly around their seemingly busy life.
  I am looking forward to continuing the read as new chapters are published.

  The pacing, the lore, everything about this story just tickles me right. I can feel the indignation and determination of a bright youth brilliantly wrapped up in a character. The way you conceptualize the dungeons was very interesting and very much far from basic. Just like the character, I hope you also have such luck and hit the jackpot with this story. I look forward to future developments and chapters!

  Overall this is a story which starts off relativley slowly. The first few chapters, through necessity are a little slow paced, they are a touch heavy on exposition in places - but not overly so. The author does not overburden us with information, giving us only what is required at the time. Once the action starts, it picks up pace rather rapidly, and will be very interesting to see where it goes.
  Style: the style of writing is good, free-flowing, with decent pacing. There is no jarring bouncing of scenes or shots and is easy enough to follow without being simplistic.
  Story: Only 6 chapters in, but there is scope to see where the story may well develop to, but without it being obvious. The random chaos factor should play well to this. The story itself is similar in parts to others of the same genre, but not identical in any ways. You can see influences of other authors, but no plagiarism.
  Grammar: Very few issues, primarily the author likes semi colons over any other form of punctuation.
  Character: hard to score more than a 4, we only have the one character, and the author has in some cases been intentionally vague it feels regarding the MC.

  The start is a little slow, but a lot of them are. The story is interesting in a sense that you either get lucky or you die, there is little between the 2 options.
  The style is nice, i would a little more contrast about the system messages and the rest of the writing, but besides that the writing is rather fluid
  The story is in the early stages, so we will have to wait and see more, the contents and lore are not heavy and its easy to read, if not lacking a little more background, but its up to your own opinion
  The grammar is solid, no major flaws if any.
  There are little characters for now, but i have to say the author really did bring a lot personality to the goblins, i didint expect to see sapient monsters this early, but its an interesting approach, there is no much to say about the protagonist, just a guy who wants to go in adventures and has over the top luck.
  So ill say you should atleast give it a shot
  PD: is the first time i wrote an advanced review so i hope i made my impressions clear

  The book starts interesting, and we are essentially discovering the world currently, followin the adventures of the main character.
  There are issues. Especially the characters (besides the main character, more or less ingorable or non existent to date), but also a bit of the story - it is very much built on the adventurers the main character has. This is not necessarily bad, but the entirely missing supporting cast hurts here. Also, the plot armor can be quite ridiculus, but admittedly, considering his entire stick is Luck, it isnt as absurd as one might think. Luck isnt well explained, but then again, we have a in universe explanation why that is. No one knows, not even the gods.
  The style is decent and fitting to the story. I like it.
  Grammar is good. No obvious mistakes, or at least none I have noticed while casually reading. Which means that there are not any game breaking mistakes I have noted.
  Characters are, besides the main character, non existent, more or less, as I mentioned.
  I think he exchanged more words with his Patron god than with both his parents combined.
  All in all, an enjoyable read, which I will continue to enjoy. It definetly has potential, but time will tell.

  ★★★ 3.0

  For starters, I disliked the novel and it would be 1 star or lower on that front so some of my criticism may be biased even if i try to stay as unbiased as possible
  The premise is interesting and the system seems crafted well enough, grammar and writting is ok so the foundations of the story are solid
  on the other end, the character are idiotic and cartoonish, the MC can pass for a rebelious teen but doesnt fit with his surrounding even if he hate his circumstances, he feels like a big city dweler looking down on a rular for no reason other than bias while he is the most clueless of all, its fine for him to look down on his lifestile, he is a rebelious teen afterall, but he should also feel like he grow up where he live, also he complain about prejudice but he is probabilly the worst on that front but again rebelious teen, it just make him dislikable in my opinion. His parents are just a caricature, the whole town feels like a caricature, also the MC got bullied growing up(for simpaty points i guess)
  there was a single dungeon dive and it was ok for the first part but then it got ruined when out of nowere after finding opponents in his tier, then all of a sudden he mets opponents he has no busines facing, we discover that the dungeom is just teleporting ppl somewhere else, wich kind of broke what we know of them, overall the the while thing felt somewhat hard and anyone with a decent class could do it alone while the end was compleatly out of place
  epic grade tresures are guarded by a noob monster
  bandits let you live just to chase you soon after instead of robbing you immediatly
  another sore point is that the MC seems to have no clue of the strenght of higher level ppl, or what he could encounter, he is stupidly week I know he has a luck based class but really either given the initial stats everything with some levels could obliterate him and he should be awere just looking at the adults
  the MC has a luck based class, wich make it extremly difficult to account for

  Starts out okay. Then the MC starts in on a Luck build. Very hard to do that well and it shows in this story. There's no tension possible in the story when the MC literally runs through a trap-infested area relying on his Luck stat.
  The MC is also not very bright and is incredibly unlikable. Basic brooding "nobody understands me" trash. If he wasn't the MC with incredible plot armor being played off as the luck stat he would have died so many times by now.
  This ends up feeling more like an idiot from our world trying to survive rather than someone from a fantasy world who should have a basic understanding of survival/fighting skills. Especially since his father is a guard.

  The story tells the tale of a young lad, while the paste is quite good and to my liking, almost everything else isn't.
  The grammar and spelling mistakes are enough to make reading a pain from time to time and while the book is fairly okey as long as the lad is alone, it turns to a disaster as soon as another person comes into play.
  Dialogues are cringe and often unnecessary or make little sense.
  Oh also, the amount of plot armor is staggering.

  There might be the outline of a good story to be found here. If that is the case I can not see it behind the execution. The story starts with multiple chapters of badly chosen and delivered exposition, bad grammar, and a missing attention to detail, followed by action without understandable reason until I dropped.
  Style: Lots and lots of tell don't show. Especially the mental states of characters or hightend tension are only stated but not supported through style or structure. There is a lot of exposition and it is near entirely frontloaded and often unprompted.
  Storry: The very basic LitRPG awakened adventure, but with so much exposition about the world, so litle exposition that explaines why stuff is happening and missing atention to detail, it is hard to enjoy. And when I say little atention to detail I mean stuff like the MCs first classes stat detribution being wrong or contradictions in the basics of the setting:
  The lucky warrior gains 14 points per level. +1 to STR, CON, INT, INS, +2 to REF, CHA, +4 to LUCK
  The starting vilage exists to prevent overflows from the local wood tier dungeon, which is easyli managed by the 3 Iron tier fighters of the vilage.
  Overflows hapen when the Dungeon isn't sufficiently delved.
  Higher tiered people can't delv a lower tiered dungeon.
  Grammar: The storry is readable but it is not enjoyable.
  Characters: The storry fails to give us reasons for many of the actions.
