Really punny with a lot of heart!
When I started reading I just could not get my bearings. How could such a good story pawsibly be so bearied in the rankings when so many teddy-ous stories make their way to the top?
It's unbearable.
I think prospective readers should paws, maybe bearicade their doors, and get comfy. I could go on but I don't want to embearass myself.

Threadbare's here to save LITRPG (and the day)
Never really knew I wanted to read about a teddy bear until this. Seriously, you've got goblins, sneks, doggos and all sorts running around in litRPG nowadays, but you wouldn't think the adventures of a teddy bear that isn't some reincarnated human would be so readable.

Help me, I'm addicted
I absolutely love this story. It's charming, it flows, and I absolutely have to know what happens next. It is the one and only story that I've added to my favorites.
Style - It's a well thought LitRPG, that integrates the LitRPG elements well with the story.
Story - I'm writing this at the end of the firat arc, so I haven't seen where it's going. However, I'm rarely so heartbroken to catch up to as I have been with this one.
Grammar - Pretty much perfect. The occasional typo, but otherwise consistant.
Character - It has several major characters that are all wonderfully complete, and also very distinct. The minor characters are not as easy to remember or sympathize with, but they work well with the main ones.

Worth every last second.
This story is in one word, a Masterpiece. I have yet to meet another story on RRl, hell, even in general fiction, that can tell such a powerful tale. What starts as a charming tale through the eyes of an animated teddybear, slowly builds into a desperate fight to save the country.
Lost Demiurge is in his element here, with unique characters, outstanding backstories, interesting mythos, powerrful, heart-wrenching moments and nigh-perfect grammar. I only recently picked up this wonderful story, but found myself entranced by it. And coming from me, that's saying A LOT. i reccomend this story to ALL fantasy fans, no matter which genre you like. THIS is a masterpiece, and i can't wait for more.

A fun little story
This is (so far) a fun little read, I can only wish to see a teddy that's kicking ads and taking cuddles!!
. I hope that this has a long life as I'm quite taken with the cuddly little murderer.

A Promising New Story
This a great addition to the LitRPG genre. It's funny, lighthearted (but there are suggestions of things much darker in the stories future) and the game mechanics don't seem to be weighing down the story - yet. The story so far has been great.

Threadbear, Dreadbear, Murdery Mr. Cuddles
Welcome to Paddington Bear goes to Murder Town. The quaint story of an innocent and hardworking child and her curious little fluffy bloody bear unfeeling killing machine of a best friend.
It's got a good initial flow as the MC takes his first stumbling steps of life on the path to OP. Please give it the first three story arcs to ramp up. As the author starts introducing systems it just gets funnier and funnier.
If you ever wanted a cuddly version of Boxxy T. Morningwood from "Everybody Loves Large Chests" or Blacknail from "The Iron Teeth", then you're really going to love this one.

A Fun, Well-Crafted Story
A fun, well-written story with excellent world building. The system and the resulting world just make sense and you can see how things would work that way. If you're looking for an OP protagonist or amazingly rapid scaling this isn't the story for you. Our protagonist is a golem made from a Teddy Bear and the enemies faced are of an equally low standard. But if you ever wanted to read a story with a dungeon based entirely on Cat puns or cheer for a housecat and a sentient Teddy Bear as they overcome their differences to face a common foe (rats) as fellow warriors, then this is the fic for you.

Cute
This is a relatively light-hearted fiction that I really enjoy reading, and I read it when I need a break from stressful activities

Was great, became mediocre.
Up to the chapter "Winning Hearts and Minds" the story was great. A steady pace, just the right amount of detailed description and action.
Fun characters, well implemented surprises and a unique RPG mecanic.
After those chapters...
The pace rushed from event to event, detailes descriptions were very few. Action was still there and good at that.
The charaters felt off from that point on. They all devolved into plot devices to show how great toy golems are.
Surprises stopped happening (I could tell 90% of the rest of the story afterwards).
The RPG mecanic became ... people calling out skills. There were still level ups and stuff, but unless I skipped back to the dreadfull explanation interludes I could not tell what was going on and even then I hardly could.
Then there were plotholes so massive that they changed the entire story.
And finally there were several instances of:
"I knew that, I just didn't tell anyone because ... plot!"
Oh, how I hate when an author uses that. Especially on charaters where it doesn't make sense.
Literally the ENTIRE conflict of the story could have been avoided if one of several people said something.
So yeah, stroy went from 4.5 Stars to 2.5. My guess is that the quick pace in which the author wrote threw a wrench in the quality of their work.
