Right, since I'm hungry for feedback to make my fic the best it can be, here I go, plus some info on my own feedback.

Title: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Guardians of Balance
Summary:

The world is entering a new era. Travel between the continents is easier than ever, the towns are growing ever larger and Pokemon are more closely connected than ever before. The Teams have become more numerous as ever, and have become a symbol of the progress and resilience of the world. However, as a new wave of colonisation spreads to the rapidly rising islands of the seas, tensions rise, threatening to fragment everything apart.

As a new wave of natural disasters begin to spread around the world, a human wakes up to find himself transformed into a Pokemon. Thrown into an increasingly fractured and endangered world, the human known as Sam will find himself thrust into an adventure unlike anything he could ever imagine. An adventure where there is far more than meets the eye...

Currently Guardians of Balance is in it's first episode, and is primarily focused on the events around the Sea of Wonders itself. Deeper worldbuilding will come in future episodes.

M
Content warnings: There is strong language, strong violence/gore and other potential dark themes including abuse, substance abuse, self harm/suicide, and possible suggestive themes (although the last one will be avoided if possible). I will provide updates and warnings well in advance both here and in a seperate posts.
Word count/chapters on offer: There are currently twenty-two chapters in GoB, compiled into a single episode. That totals out over 80,000 words and that might well top out at 100,000 words by the time the Episode comes to an end (and that is not talking about future episodes). Individual chapters tend to vary in word count, with early chapters being only a couple of thousand words to around 3,500 words max. But starting from Chapter 14 onwards, the chapters have consistently been over 4,000, with the very latest topping out at 8,000.
What feedback I'm looking for: I'm looking at general feedback for the entire fic if possible. However, I can understand how that is a big ask given the size of some of the chapters alone. If you want to offer feedback for specific chunks, that is perfectly fine as well. I would perfer feedback on later chapters, but early chapter feedback is welcome too.

Feedback information:
What feedback I can offer: I'm not used to giving out feedback, but I could offer general feedback regarding the fic. I do feel that I tend to be more of a worldbuilder, so I'll often provide comments on the worldbuilding of your fic, but I'll try and point out any details that I notice. I will do my best to be constructive, so even if I make a note of any issues, I'll point out stuff I liked as well.
Preferred types of fics: I tend to perfer PMD stories. As how light or dark they are, I do not really mind provided they are SFW. I particularly like serious stuff that has no shortage of light-hearted moments here and there.
Preferred method of contact: Thousand Roads and Discord are ideal, I'm present on the Thousand Roads discord.
Availability: That is highly dependent on my present circumstances, best to actually get in touch with me first to see how free I am.

feedback information:
as a speed reader I specialize in blasting through content quickly and efficiently (weather I want to or not), as I’m new I have difficulty picking up flaws in story’s however I enjoy thinking about the plot and story itself and usually can pitch a few ideas for future content (completely optional however. Never forget that in the end it’s your story.)

Preferred types of fics: although I enjoy story’s that involve the author themselves (I find those are usually quite passionate) I can and will read anything you throw in my general direction.

preferred method of contact: Thousand roads, discord, and especially the Thousand roads discord

Availability: immediately until further notice
