Weak writing, poor in-world logic, fairly broken English and an extremely boring, shallow and unlikable main character. Somehow feels more tiring to read than actual machine translations from similar types of stories.

Yeah, I write too and that's part of why I understand how incredibly important these beginning chapters are. In my opinion, rather delay the new chapters a little bit and spend the effort making the beginning readable. Different people will have different priorities and goals though, just giving my view of how you came off here.

Instead of writing a caution like this, just spend a little time and fix them up. Your first chapters are by far the most important in your story when it comes to getting readers. Doing it the way you are just shows laziness and a lack of care for your own work.

That's because you're misunderstanding what most mean when they say this. Something can be fantastical yet still realistic, in the sense that the rules the author sets up for his magic are kept throughout the story and not just thrown in whenever they feel like it without any regard for the structure or expectations behind it. What I meant by unrealistic characters in this case is that the people in the story simply do not act like actual people would, even given their living in a magical world and positioned where they are. If characters don't act, speak, respond and generally are made to feel at least somewhat real, in relation to our own idea of what people are like, it becomes jarring and drags you out of the immersion of the story. And of course you can create a character who stays calm while killing people, while being ordered by a demon to kill people, and make it feel realistic. Plenty of such people exist today, just replace "demon" with more real-world things. It's not meant as if dragons, magic and flying ships should be removed in order for a fantasy story to feel realistic, just that the logic behind them should be consistent and at least somewhat thought out. Ideally to the point where the reader can feel like a part of the world and understand the options and limitations.

MC keeps putting himself in idiotic situations where he is essentially dead, except some unforeseen person keeps popping out to save him (not planned by the MC, who is always a second from actually dying like a dog) which leads to the MC getting a powerup and repeating the idiocy all over again. The novel as a whole is like 80% filler with random people discussing events in terrible, fake dialogue and the author re-explaing everything that happens 2-3 times to waste as many words as possible. A very low quality story.

No one's harrassing anyone here, buddy. Whether it's free or not really doesn't matter. He chose to post his work online on a place with a review system in place and he intentionally manipulates those reviews to make his story look better than it is. The reviews are not just for the author to improve his writing, it is also (and I'd argue, mainly) for the potential readers clicking the story so they can know what to expect and decide whether it is worth it for them to spend time on the story. He's not a victim of some great crime here. Don't post things online if you can't handle criticism.

The delusions continue. Just own up to it, buddy, it'll be healthier in the long run.
