Basically, enter the tower, play the rpg game, if killed then die. If not, live to next day n start farming xp.
Theres some loophole in the game system that could be exploited, but it seems author isnt following that path.
However, the overall story is good.
MC is a competitionist who strive to be number 1 in class. He yearn the blissful feeling of being the champion. But...he got his own mental problem. And this problem hits again when hes inside the tower. Thus showing that despite being a perfectionist, hes just as fragile.
And thus, another non-OP MC by this author. And its good.
The class that MC choose is also quite unique. Thus reader would become interested in how author shape MC's growth without too much plot armor.
The negative side of this story plot is...it seems author isnt familiar with litrpg trope nor gaming in general.
E.g. while in first floor, theres an obvious aspect of the game that could be exploited and author isnt exploring that path.
Overall, its a good read. The characters are likeable n believable. One become interested in seeing how MC exploit his class. Oh, theres also several supporting characters that adds more flavour to the story. And this is nice.
Kudos.

I follow the Author on Patreon and I like the direction its going over there. TG Parsons has improved their writing with each of their fictions and it really shows. The best part of following this Author is the fact that they actually finish their novels! Caledon's fall and Saga of the Twin Suns are both done, with satisfying conclusions.
No real problems with grammar or spelling, and the character seems relatable and believable.
I'm excited to see where this one goes.

This story has been fulfilling my enjoyment of world-building fantastically. The duality of the floors and the MC’s experiences is interesting and the variance adds a measure of depth, although the understanding of the overall system is slow to accumulate.
The writing and grammar have been well done, with few mistakes noticed.
The main character’s reactions and development are well thought out. Power levels are managed and the MC never feels OP for long.
One of the author’s strengths is how they deal with time passing for the MC, and not getting dragged into minutiae.

This story is fun. I enjoy the premise and really enjoy the system within the story. The numbers don't mean much, just a sign of progression, while the 'Blessings' and 'Disiplines' (Powers and Classes) are the real way to gauge power along with floor progression.
All the fight scenes and the talkative interactions are well written and there is few or no points where I have to re-read things unless it's because I get distracted while reading. I never get lost in the story or have a hard time remembeing what is going on.
A few times names / characters pop back up, but luckily the Author re-does a description or goes over how our MC remembers them. Again this story is a hidden gem on Royal Road. It deserves all the love.
As a fellow Author who has a MC who is named Mathew and is a Lawyer (Small world!) I have high hopes how our MC further develops past these lower floors. I binged the story in a week, and am probably going to get a Patreon to binge further chapters. Seriously, if you enjoy any tower climbing stories like Tower of Heaven or others, read this one!

The beginning is average, as some decisions, descriptions and circumstances are questionable. It looks like Author in first 10-15 chapters was still looking for what he's trying to write
Afterward, tho, it becoming good. Characters are suddenly personable, decisions more logical (or at least believable), the world starting to fleshing out.
In summary, worth a shot.

This story is interesting in a lot of ways, the sheer number of timeskips involved make it stand out by themselves, but the way power scales is quite interesting as well. There is however a point that I just REAAALY hate and it makes me sad to see it ruin my experience with the novel.
To be frank having the MC's build completely change twice now is just plain frustrating. The first one was an interesting decision that underscored the world's scaling, but the second is just damned irritating. Losing all progress and swapping to a completely different source of power with the whole words of power system feels like an entirely separate book and that's without mentioning the whole Apostle thing seemingly going directly against what the story was building to become.

Nearly every floor is "and two months went by like this" "years went by like this" "floor duration 10 years" and obviously its just going to be time skips each time where the MC with the most unimpressive and boring powers magically becomes powerful/relevant after time skipping and throwing a bunch of new powers, levels, and items at them.

At first it was fine, there was a build up of power, a lot of fighting, and each floor was long. Then suddenly at 195 everything was lost. The power was useless. Like how would a level 1 fight a level fifty if he can't and doesn't even have the reflexes to fight them. He is just using words. He can't even see his enemies. But that is if the story procceded as it is. It seemed the author just wanted to finished the novel and not drop it. All the following floors were lame just stories of "adventuring" not really a tower wanting to kill people. Because if we follow the logic from floor 10 He only had 30% of surviving the next 10 floors and the first 10 were the easy part. It seemed that the first 10 floors were actually the hardest.
