I saw the webseries being mentioned on Reddit and took a look out of curiosity. I got hooked pretty fast. Luckily I have the skills to generate an ebook from the web pages and could read this tome on my Kindle. Over 1100 pages, and it's only part one of six! Those are Sanderson numbers.
The story is very easy to read, it just flows and stuff happens fast. And if you're into portal fantasy it will just suck you in. There's a lot going on, but not so much that it becomes confusing. The characters are mostly likeable, at least you care for what happens to them. Even the characters you like can be frustrating because they act consistently and not always like you'd want them to act. Overall I felt it lacks some depth and the author is still growing with the story. Again, a comparison to Brandon …

I recommend to at least give it a try. The writing is very accessible and because it's free you have nothing to lose. If you like it, you can support the author on Patreon and/or buy the ebook on Amazon. The latter is what I did, because I certainly enjoyed the book. On to the next one!
