It’s never been easy being a high schooler, and for four students stuck in detention, it’s about to get a whole lot harder. After opening a magical board game they find in a dark closet during detention, each is teleported to another world—the world of Byzantium.
What’s worse: this place is in trouble. A slave rebellion has overrun entire cities, and barbarians from the east and west are on the march. On top of that, fantastic monsters and mystical warriors called Zhayedan have joined the fray, throwing Byzantium into chaos. Our four high school students find themselves in four different bodies, taking four different sides in the conflict. Each must now fight desperately to survive.
Byzantine Wars is an historical fantasy isekai with LitRPG elements. Enjoy four different main characters with varying strengths and weaknesses, deeply immersive world-building, and endless humor and adventure. And, most importantly: don’t let the farr fade.

So, I've read the novel, and left a review. It's good, you should continue like that. The Rpg elements weren't too annoying for me, even if I don't think they really help the story at the moment.
Otherwise, like I said in the review, occasionally it's really obvious that you're speaking through your characters. You sometimes use extremely specific terms, like "worker's state" for example. Also, I feel like in the context of Byzantium, treating the uprising as peasant-based would be more appropriate, as workers would be mostly insignificant for an uprising in that time period. You could talk about a peasant republic, kinda like Dithmarschen irl. Explore communist thought using a different terminology to reflect the different situation, but with the same underlying mentality.
Also, I found it hilarious how you turned dialectical materialism into a superpower.
