I'm going to be editing the current chapters before I start writing the new ones. It might take a few weeks for new chapters to show up depending on how much time I have to write.

    I always kind of liked these kind of stories, where the hero of the story isn't the brave knight, or the simply farm boy who will be king, but a monster who comes out on top instead.

    5 starts for now as the story is truly enjoyable. Thanks to the great plot and pace of the story.
    Story is written in a very neat and concise style. Author also interacts really well with the readers and listens to criticism for the sake of improvement on story.
    Makes me feel like it's a combination of Overlord and SAO (but the MC is not a white-knight faggot)

    I voted yes, but at the end of the day it's up to you. It's hard to write a story if your heart isn't in it.

    Hurray! So I love the story :D
    I gave you a 5 for style, because your style is light and amusing, and gives off quite a nice light feeling to the readers. I think that is really commendable as your fiction is amazing for a quick read. Compelling, quirky and interesting. Though it is quite generic, I still love it.
    For the story, I feel like it would be better if you elaborated on the minor things, like how many skeletons there are, or what they are doing. Some nice filler-y stuff would be nice, especially skill training or stuff to fill in the gaps in skill level and plot.
    For grammar, it is better and quite decent for a fiction. There are quite a lot of grammatical errors and spelling errors though (but thankfully quite few).
    Finally, for Character. I think there should be more development before building more one_dimensional characters like Elisabeth. Like, is it intentional for Alexander to keep the same attitude as he started, looking at his current position? I would love more detail.
    All that being said, I think it would be nice for more detail, but if the author's style fits the lighter side of thinga much better, then why not? It is overall a cute interesting read.

    All I've got to say about this : Good job, but be careful.
    Even thought this is yours first work, it's definetly one of best ones (atleast in my opinion). It's easy to read and has this different 'feeling' to it. Main part that I like about this how our Skelly is mistaken about the system and keeps calling it 'Mother'. It brings unique kind of charm into it.
    But it isn't all good. The story keeps accelerating in plot progress and our MC is getting way too powerful for 14th chapter, I mean we just recently discovered that S rank adventurers are only about ~475 lvl (which I assume is highest rank of them) and our MC just hit level 140. With this speed of progress our MC will likely be oponentless in 30 or so chapters, and I would truly like to see this story running for atleast 100 chapters as it's quite fun. Because of this I'm giving you 4 and half stars. Not to discourage you, but to serve as warning so you don't let spiral your story into OP madness.

    Originality is praiseworthy.
    The only thing I want the Author to take notice is the way he throws information after information that I didn't have time to process everything. This is based solely on my opinion but rather than "The young man is.. hair is.. armor is.. While the girl is.. robe is.. And another one female is... She is..." continuously, I preferred taking it more easy and slow. Giving descriptions one at time like "*conversation* She exclaimed, while the young lady flipped her sapphire blue hair elegantly. *continues conversation* She says, her robe that matches the ocean the way she sways while walking. *continues conversation*  Then again this is just an advice. The Author holds the pen, the style's all up to you.
    So other than that, I give the rest two huge thumbs up. Things often turns unexpected. Story development is commendable. Pacing is a bit fast but it's not a problem. The Main Character's a dummy considering what he is but it's cute. (The slime is the cutest though, haha!) He's also strong and have a thirst for knowledge. I'm looking forward to his development. I don't hate the different points of view but I hope to see the MC's adventure more. Humors that make the story more fun to read is also here and there. Don't forget foreshadowing and cliffhangers too, okay~?
    I really love this story. Keep up the good work. I'll cheer for you~

    My only fear is that, the pace might be going too fast and that it might hit a road block further in the story.
