As a note, I've read further elsewhere.
Story
Zero the Hero is genuinely incredibly entertaining. It follows a boy, George, who's whisked away by mysterious means to another world, with danger around every corner and mysterious factions vying for his freedom and life, but with newfound friends he might just make it out okay and make the world better in the end.
The story does have some dark elements, but it's not depressing, and there is an underlying theme of Hope in the Darkness. It would best be described as Nobledark, at least in my own opinion.

Grammer
The grammar is spot on, and the author is rather attentive to fixing any mistakes that are pointed out.

The character relationships are also really well done. The protagonist and his main friend are just super endearing, and grow closer through trials of fire.
Each character's relationships are unique and how they view each other changes and grows over time, for better and worse, and they make mistakes and learn f
