  The story is well written and very similar to Overlord. It has a lot of crafting and worldbuilding in it. What I especially like is that the MC is a whimp nor a total dickhead. He/She has a logical and easily understandable way of thinking, which makes him/her quite believable.
  I couldn´t stop reading after I began.
  One of the best stories on royal road so far.

  Wow, just wow. This story a combination of sword art online and overlord with a modern twist from a young perspective. I loved this story and can not wait for more. The story is very well written, little mistakes but the story flowed so well. The characters are overpowered like in overlord the action that the characters took was very realistic.

  This is very different, though some of the people in it I would love it if they are scared....... for disrespecting the strong.

  -well written
  -fluid and cohesive dialogue between characters
  -good pacing;  it could, perhaps, be a bit faster, but it's not too bad.
  -story flows very well, I was never lost during transitions or wondered what I'd just read.
  SPOILERS-MAYBE
  -Love the crafter oriented protagonist
  -The NPC that are transported with the MC are more believable than usual.
  Conclusion
  -Hope the author keeps writing and I would recommend this story; it's an above average narration here in RRL.
  -Congrats to the author and I wish him well.

  I don't normally read gender bender, but Zander always seems to pull it off so well! I'm really liking how your main character is a crafter, it's a refreshing break from all the muscleheads out there. Well written so far, I hope you continue!

  Awesome and entertaining. I hope that you continue the story. It's definitely in top 10.
  I was weary of the direction you would take it to with relationship between MC and his NPC mage, but I'm happy that you resolved it flawlessly. The pacing is kind of off, but longer chapters can fix this issue. The characters are what to be expected in this early stage of the story and there is no major flaws with them.
  There are a bit of typos, but it's no big deal.

  I like this story very much. The main character's personality doesn't change with the transportation to another world.  I think it detracts from the story when you have a character in other stories have a huge change in personality when being transported to another world. This one doesn't go overboard personality wise and the story flows very nicely. Cannot wait to read more chapters as they come out

  Style
  The maps are super appreciated. The world itself is well developed and well-explained.
  The writing flows smoothly except in cases where the sentences are complex or there are mistakes in sentence structure.
  There are no confusing parts as far as I could tell. First person POV is perfect. Minor tense mistakes but it can be ignored and isn't exactly noticeable unless you really look for it. This means, that there are times when the tense (or rather, the tense of the words you use) switch from present to past or vice versa out-of-context.
  The style is just as what i would expect from a 'transported to another world in a game character's body' type stories. It isn't unique in that regard.
  Story
  Use shorter paragraphs. Info-dumps and observation analysis are good to read but put them in shorter paragraphs. Otherwise, it becomes difficult to read it all. People tend to skim over big paragraphs unless and until they are a die-hard fan.
  On the other hand, the crafting descriptions are nice and unique. The best part of the story thus far.
  Grammar
  - too many passive sentences. Active sentences preferred. Less use of comma preferred.
  ex-  in chapter 2:
  1:Though, to be fair, due to technical limitations I never really even noticed the difference unless I looked in a mirror.
  2:It was also a bonus that, in the game, I was able to have my mom’s beautiful red hair too. I vowed that, once I graduated highschool and was on my own, I was going to dye my own in real life.
  ^no need to always use comma after 'that'.
  3: I was, particularly, skilled in this regard. Most potion recipes could be interred from actual knowledge of plants and botany.
  4: By learning about Xternity’s plant life and of each plant’s effects when consumed, I became the foremost potioneering expert in the entire game.   I became the foremost potioneering expert in the game by learning about Xternity's plant life.<-- This flows more smoothly,
