Honestly... I have no comment. Your fiction is already quite competitive in SH's trending (mine doesn't even deserve a mention). If you want classy feedback, you need feedback from more established authors. In short, just keep writing.

You are a better author than I'll ever be, so I can't help you in terms of grammar and story. Keep going! But people had taught me that the readers like when the chapters are named, not just numbered. But before implementing it, ask your fans!

Thankfully, I'm very unapologetic and I don't care how successful someone is or not.

I'm also lazy.

So here's my quick, unbiased, first impressions just from reading the first chapter:

1. Lot of tone shift from grim poverty, anime-style comedy and modern gamer slang. But that's just my opinion.

2. Slightly exposition heavy-leaning, and it feels forced at times.
This city was far from the modern paradise she’d come from.
As I read to that part, I was like, yeah, I get it.

3. POV transition could be smoother

Operation: Pity Party, begin!

Lana stepped at a quick pace towards her destination.

I'd recommend some kind of actual line breaker, but again, just my opinion.

4. Grammar/wording issues

“As if on queue”
- cue

“peak at her reflection”

- peek

5. Overall, good first chapter. Not my jam personally, (tbf, i'm a very picky bitch about stuff I read) but I can understand the 'vision' I guess where you're catering to the isekai mindset and I can understand what's going on in the story. Immediate hook, clear premise delivered quickly and strong protag voice.
