Review for review [Immersion]
#1Hello everyone, I'm needing to get some in-depth feedback on current ongoing story. I'm willing and able to review your own work in return if you have any available. I would really benefit from any serious feedback before I start the next draft for the chapters already published. If you're interested in assisting me please list the story you'd like for me to leave a review on below and I'll take a look at it.

I've provided the in-depth review here and an advanced review on your page:
Overall: 4 stars. Plus for clearly written LitRPG, good stats, and good grammar. 1 star off for Chapter 1 exposition.
The good: The language is direct and easy to read. Tyr starts advancing right away and quickly gets right into the action. I like the character development that you started in Chapter 7 where we start to learn a bit more about the characters.
Could use some work: The first chapter. Does not hook me. The main issue here is the data dump - show me don't tell me. The entire chapter one is TLDR. We don't even learn about Tyr until Chapter 2. This is also a problem with your blurb. We get an explanation of the game but Tyr isn't even mentioned.

@Yung,
The only other specific thought I have is in regards to the stats. They may present and read better if you put them into a single column table.
You might try that in a preview and see what you think. Personally, I've always found dropping in stats distracting from the story, but I understand that's a standard element of the genre.
