    This story is very well written and the characters are the best part in my opinion.  They are well thought out and all have their own motivations. The litrpg system exists but is not intrusive. It provides the MC with enough power to advance the story without making him too OP. The MC struggles socially and has to work to improve himself. Paired with the authors clear knowledge of the HP lore, this story reads more like a sequel to the HP books that has been mashed with a bit or reincarnation and litrpg. Really well done.
    Grammar is great and the writing flows well.  Lots of swearing is included so be wary if that bothers you.  Very worth the read.

    I'm not a huge Harry Potter fan but the interactions between characters in this book has me hooked! The only issue I had was quickly made mute by it being a disadvantage the main character could remove.
    The story is well written, the main character is pretty overpowered but things don't go how they want it to. I really like it!

    Good progression and I like the MC.  A lot of fanfics seem to want to make their MC as OP as possible as quickly as possible, but that is not the case here. Having a decent growth rate shows some grit and I enjoy seeing that.  Looking forward to the future.

    Grammatically ,and functionally this is good story and i'll come back to finish it.  However the littpg aspect is annoying, and this is much more in the lines of intrigue, and mystery. It reminds me a bit of a soap opera. Its not what you expect with an isekai fanfic, but its still worth read if you skip the first dozen chapters.

    Everything kind of goes pear shaped in the mid 60s chapter-wise.
    Up until then its a fairly standard litrpg power-up-of-the-week fanfic, with the standard Potterverse format of an underlying mystery to the year and basically a whole cast full of custom NPCs to interact with that makes it a bit fresher than the usual Potter fanfic fare. OP protagonist? Check. Convenient powerups? Check. Lots of smug interactions? Check.
    After that it seems to want to shake itself out of the yearly cadence, and timeskips and doesn't really find its stride again.
    There was a decent amount of world-building and thought put into the first part.
    Apparently, human trafficking is just a thing in Potterverse Britain after the Dark Lord is defeated. Ho-hum. I guess I'll just pay a fortune to an auction house to get my friend back. Usually you need to actually own a thing to sell it.

    Story seems Decent but is So Generic . if you change some known Names from HP you could think MC got Isekaid into your Basic Fantasy Magic world and goes to shool .
    Becase besides the Names there is No plot no Canon nothing to Follow in this "Fanfiction" its an Oc Story that borrows names from HP .
    Chapters are also realy Short but at least get frequently Updated .
    For HP ff Lovers who want a Break from a Meaningfull Long story to get something Different thats OC with a Touch of HP.

    First, The system isn't that good... Its average for HP systems but overall seems more like a "Oh yeah we also have this!".
    Biggest problem though? The characters and his... interesting interactions with them. The MC owned a home in his past life, he was out of education, meaning he is probably in his early twenties or late.
    He is in his 6th year so 16. so that means he has on multiple occasions been around minors and even thought of or even acted in a romantic or even semi-sexual manner. If the MC was a student before getting sent into this world? Perfectly okay... but... not this.

    I want to say that it started with an interesting premise, but I would be lying.
    MC gets a gamer interface that penalizes him for behaving OOC. Yeah, it's as bad as it sounds. Why would the interface care about any of that stuff anyway? It doesn't, but the author wants to justify the plot rails.

    Man, this story is incredibly bad.
    I don't even know where to begin.
    Here are a few things to start with:
    - Having LitRPG elements in Harry Potter is not the best of ideas, given the magic system is more animism and spiritual based, then hard facts and limits. HP doesn't follow DnD rules after all. But there are ways to write it well, even so. This story fails at it completely. To formatting, to start with, popups come with triple "!!!" exclamations everywhere, like if the system is some reddit trolls who doesn't know proper English. It doesn't run on experience or levels, but instead on "story points". So, when things happen to him, he then unlocks abilities. Yup, his LitRPG powers are pretty much just plot armor. So instead of the author having to balance his growth with the challenges, he can just wave his hand, gain SP due to this and that happening to him. That is the game system in place. Neat right?
    - The MC is an idiot. And when a say an idiot, I mean an idiot. Very small spoiler here: When an Auror suspiciously appears happy he lost his memories, and he sees that same Auror looking at his animated portrayed, he thinks "hmm, weird". Yes, very weird that the law enforcement is happy you do not remember how your family died. Very weird, I wonder why? Oh and he sees no issues with the same Auror seeing him, yes the MC, who is alive, in a animated portrait, where only dead people apear. Nope, nothing suspicious there for the Auror to find.
    - Not doing any magic. Can you imagine waking up in HP and NOT doing magic or learning about it right away? The MC from the moment he is inserted to getting to Hogwarts, is a known amnesiac to others by the way, does no magic research, does no real research into the world he found himself in. What does he do every day? No clue. The story just kind of skips from scene to scene, completely ignoring the fact he is a wizard. I guess he is just sitting around in place until the next scene the author wants to write. Also, yes, in th

    This is the most cringe worthy shit I've ever seen. It is like written by a 15 year old who thinks he is the smartest guy ever. Mc is lame and boring. Story is bullshit. Unfortunately i need to write 50 words to be able to publish this which is a waste for this piece of fiction, one word is enough. It is shit.
