Show, don't tell.
The dialogue is very stilted and unnatural.
The MCs thought processes are unnatural as well.
Humans don't talk or think even remotely like this.
But because I've read only the first chapter I will refrain from giving an actual rating.

Better than average, but gets repetitive
I have a sharp mind for plot, so many novels trip my stupid meter and I won't continue. These are a bit better than average on that score, but after the first five of eight stories I just shelved this set, as the overall storyline got repetitive. I.e. stupid arrogant dark mages come after Brownstone, Brownstone "I'm gonna kick your ass", Brownstone easily kicks ass, rinse and repeat...

Alison is typically very intelligent, yet I feel like we are told not shown, the authors are limiting Alison's intelligence and expanding her childish and immature behaviours. This is concerning because Alison's actions towards the PDA do not show any maturity, and when Hana is taken, she is still clueless about why this happened and how her actions caused this.

The world is actually pretty unique even though it is built from common UF components but the plot and the character are clichée ridden caricatures of real people.
Additionally, we have lots of writing sins here.
If you make your mc competent you have to stick to that competence. Plot convenient brain farts and other out of the blue stupid decisions are just cheap.
Many conversations seem unnatural because everything is exaggerated and caricature-like.
Every one of the many villains is so cartoon-like I couldn't take any of them serious.
The battle scenes seemed to be round-based like in the older final fantasy games.
Furthermore, the MC is constantly and suddenly TSTL, typically mid-battle, just as a plot device to increase the drama and tension.
And lets not even talk about the constant blatant virtue signalling.… (meer)
