Good things:
Quirks table is great.
Wealth system is amazing!
Many smaller cool ideas for advanced users.

Bad things:
Book is still not yet finished, there are typos, weapons and armour cost table are empty writing quality is highly varied, i think that lenght could be reduced.

Phrase "minimal and diligent to the concept that too many rules hurt." is incompatible with the present dice system: counting overall number of success it should be replaced with D10 success on 6+ (0.6) or with D6 Success on 3+(~0.66). System present in the book boils down to: (~0.6) chance of success on every die. But its still only an inconvenience in comparison with the exp system, i have yet to see a rpg that uses 4 pages to describe their "simple" system.

Hey, thank you for the "Good things". Much appreciated.

As for typos and writing in general, unfortunately I can't improve it much on my own, I would need help from a native speaker. Want a hobby? =)

Okay, let's get down to business: I don't understand your note about the dice system. You say that on d6 having successes for 3+ is different than having successes with even numbers? It's still 3 out of 6 distributed equally.

As far as exp is concerned, I do not agree at all, in fact, it can be summarized in 7 lines (see page 53). Everything else, are ideas and tables to help those who are a little slow with math.

Try copy pasting stuff from the book to a google translate, it should catch things like "criminal minset" instead of mindset on page 26.
About the dice system, this 3+ meant wins on 3, 4, 5, 6. Even you wrote it like that on page 134: "divine item 1+". A change that occurs couse of your "exploding dice" system increases the 50% chance of success (0.50) with (wins on 2, 4, 6) to a (0.60) on every die. Ex. Rolling your max 5 dices, currently makes you recive precisely 3 success on average (0.6).
About your exp system, your 7 lines explanation could lead someone to think that the cost for leveling from D6 to D7 is the same, as leveling from D2 to D3. . Even in a pathfinder 1st ed that has 578 pages, you have a simple table: you look which level you just got, then you read in that line what you have received. I criticized 4 pages, because they make it difficult to re-read a key passage in order to understand the system.
Also google drive link to your solo engine doesn`t work (I think about your 2 year old post on reddit for solo rpg players) Which meant that instead of "deep playtesting phase" your solo mode, i can only wait for your v2 1.0 release.
