  First: I have no idea of how to answer to reviews, so writing this is the only way I found
  Second: my score is obviously biased (it’s my own novel XD)
  Third: Forgiv3n324, it’s not like I don’t see where you’re coming from, I could’ve made two to three more chapters between and , but I thinked that the prologue would then be too long, so in the end I decided to shorten it, in order to start the “real story”; as you said I made a good entry for three people (Jack, Julia and Elise) because later on they will appear (pratically Jack’s story will stop for a time because of a certain event that is made possible by the other two) and at that moment I’ll take the two of them as MCs, restarting from their time in the goddess dimension untill the event that interfered with jack. This doesn’t mean they will meet, just the law of cause-effect.
  I have to say, it's true that my MC doesn't have much character, but it's not like I can help it, for now he's dealing with mindless undead, no need to get worked up if they try to kill you, right? He'll start showing his real color when he gets out of Hell.
  Regarding my grammar, I don’t have anything to say, I’m trying my best and I hope I’ll get better over time, for now it seems to me that I managed to avoid any major mistakes, tough some typos are probably still present.

  When will he evolve? When he reaches a certain level? Or rather affinity and stat requirements?

  I really like this novel. it has a good blend of comedy and seriousness, and the characters and world building are the main selling points. The story clearly has a clear end goal, and the characters themselves are very aware of this end goal and work towards it.
  This is a reincarnation novel, kinda, and unlike the norm our main character is not hit by a truck. The prologue is actually really unique, and introduces us to several characters that have relevance later in the story. I for one find it refreshing when the prologue is not just an obligatory part where you try to kill your main character as soon as possible.
  The main character himself is likable, but might come off as a little plain. This however is compensated for by supporting characters in the form of gods, who are utterly hilarious and help alleviate some of the depressing, gritty mood of hell.
  And yes, the main part of the story takes place in hell. Inspired by the Dantes Inferno model, or some other literature, hell consists of nine circles that our hero must traverse in order to be reunited with his loved ones, making the end goal quite clear through this setting.
  Though i really like this novel, it has its share of flaws. None of these flaws lie in the "essence" or "core" of the story, but rather in more superficial things like grammar or some parts feeling slightly rushed. Certain parts could probably also have been explained better, but my opinion is that it´s flaws are annoying, and if you ignore them the stor is very enjoyable.

  Just gonna state some attributes this novel has.
  First few chapters can be considered the establishment of the plot, explaining the motives & setting up a starting point for this novel.
  Chapter CAN be ridiculously small, i would recommend just waiting a week and then reading them in bunch. But if you can't, be happy to know that each chapter doesn't end in a cliffhanger, thus allowing for closure at least
  I do have my concerns with the growth rate of the mc's  affinities. But i think, don't know for sure, that the author at least planned his evolution tree well enough.
  All in all if you have time to spend i can assure you that reading this novel will at least be enjoyable.

  This is a good read with some interesting concepts.
  I'll start with the one major drawback to this series, the MC, Jack, is almost perfect. He is intelligent, kind to anyone besides his enemies, strong, courteous, and even with a charm in the negatives has managed to nearly seduce the child-like earth goddess. At some point the guy has created a plan to reincarnate himself into the world of the living through a long process of evolution and devolution with no comment on how he made this plan, what it entails, or even what clues led him to this plan. just that whenever the evolve choice shows up he chooses one and says, "I just know this is the path I need to take." This is just a personal opinion that I like to be able to relate to the choices of the MC.
  The story is good with a pretty defined plot. The characters are a little cookie cutter but each of them has enough quirks to not have been ripped out of "Character Creation 101" textbooks and the way they interact is unique and appealing.
  The world building is great. This is where the author really shines, especially with the birth of the world if you read nothing else check out chapter 24.5 The Life of a Goddess that shows how the gods came to be and shows the adorable Earth Goddess. I decided to add .5 stars to story for this chapter since RRl doesn't have a "Setting" review.
  The grammar is standard for RRl and nothing stands out that makes it unreadable. A PR or a second read-through would catch most of the mistakes since they are the usual fat fingers that we all are guilty of possessing. Check the review above that gives a 2 to grammar and you can find the same sort of mistakes that the author tends to make (missing punctuation, wrong words, auto-correct errors, etc).

  So first off gotta say I love the story so far, a tad bit slow but every chapter completely makes me forget that our MC is progressing slowly.
  First thing that has me very concerned is how OP your MC all ready is, now some people must be wondering what I mean, that is because of how strong he is and he has not even left hell yet. What I’m trying to say is that when he eventually leaves hell he will essentially be like a Omnipotent God, which I quiet frankly will dislike and that’s because for most stories that go down that path, the author 9 times out of 10 drops the story because they hit a power cap unless they introduce a next level such as god plains blah blah ect. Or keep him at the current level and he’s always beating the shit out of every one always winning blah blah blah….. boring. Now if you some how handicap your hero you are most defienetly gonna get a ton of shit about how you destroyed your character, which is quiet frankly a bunch of bull. How the hell are you suppose to do any character development without something significant happening to your MC that way you can fully flush out your supporting characters and any back round stories happening. If he loses his powers find a way the MC can get them back you could even do a mental block on the MC, basically the MC is afraid of himself and the harm he can cause others and an external influence helps him or he eventually conquers his fears.
  Anyways what I’m trying to say is take a chance, but be sure you don’t leave any major plot holes and be sure it’s interesting.
  Sorry for the rant just figured I should let you know where you are headed, and or I’m a fuken idiot and you have a great story on your hands and I’m worried over nothing.

  Contains elements of Re:Monster. Reasonable pacing. Although every aspect of grinding is intensely overpowered. I’ve seen his sisters’ progress and i doubt theirs is slow. The author should really tone down on the stats and skills. Unless he plans to never let him out of Hell because his stats greatly overpowers normal growth rate. Adding the fact that he can also grind stat points through cycling races indefinitely. You should tone down on his interaction with gods. I hope he gets unreasonably underpowered after reincarnation to make things more interesting. Although letting applicable things intact seems reasonable.
  Grammar needs improvement
  Story is adequate. Best moments are his sister’s POV actually since i got tired of his grinding and very fortunate events.
  Characters – I find the gods less appealing. I want to request more interactions between Jack and his fellow hell mates. And more sister-side stories. Dont forget help. If he is the same help his sister interacts with then he is the most interesting character in the story so far(besides loli goddess/badass gamer loli goddess)
  tldr: Everything works if he is not OP after reincarnation

  I’ve only read up till ‘The day of Revenge’ and stopped.
  There are two main reason as to why I stopped: 1. Grammar 2. Pacing is terrable
  You have a nice concept and the background is good in its own way, but since obviously this is going to be a reincarnated / taken to a new world type of setting normally the guy or girl will have a ‘past life’ and ‘current life’
  Now there are a few ways of going about this, Some give a very short entry into his past life and just show when he died and a very brief overview of his life or they go in depth on the characters life and lead up to his death/ transfer there is also one where they start off in his ‘current life’ and over time give glimpses into his past slowly.
  You when the route of leading up to his death, which implies giving a well thought out set of occurances which you do have, but you rushed the fine details and glossed over a lot it and gave POV’s of even other people such as the superwomen/SPARTAN (had 2) and his younger sister.
  That was a major turn off to me because I feel its a let down because you’re self depreciating yourself by trying to rush your own work for the sake of plot, you took the time to make a good past set-up and skewwered it due to impatients which makes be believe you will do the same to other parts of your story such as his early startings (going by the guy above its a Evolution type) you’ll gloss over it and rush to mid-point so he’s not ‘weak’ or you might make women just fall in love with him over the smallest of things just to force them together or have her stick around for the sake of bewbs
  Not that you have done any of those (yet), but your rushed prologue leads me to believe you are likely to do such things
  Now I know this might be a bit harsh of a review, but I just wanted to give you some helpful criticism and wish you the best with the rest of your story and hope you don't drop it because you can only improve your writing and even if the beginning is a bit sketchy you can still pull
