It's not bad. Translation is an issue, as simple thing like gender flipped in the same paragraph talking about the same person. Readable, but I had to do double takes on exposition dumps.

I like the MC despite his somewhat jaded pessimistic vibe. I'm a bit reserved to say more as the MC's characterisation so far is that of a gamer: he likes to win. It is too narrow to call that and what shown inbetween his modern sensibility a personality atm, but he is very interesting.

Tentative 4/5

I also like the callback to icewind dale.

If you didn't read icewind dale yet and like this, well, go read icewind dale!

There's enough here for a verdict.

Its a blast. The character has wit and humor. The writing is just fast enough to give you what you want when the urge strikes, but seems to take its time well enough so they always land with flair.

Don't know if its been updated but it feels like the pronoun situation is less relevant later maybe they tuned in?
