I looked through the first 4 pages and its cute! I think this could certainly be helpful to someone getting their feet wet with really studying the language.
One of the reasons I tend to hold MNN as gospel is the way that it doesn't treat you like a child. The conversations are very realistic to what you would hear in modern spoken Japanese, with Keigo and all of the clunkiness that comes with it from lesson 1.
I noticed your disclaimer:
"Despite being in the form of stories the Japanese used is beginner Japanese and may not reflect the way native speakers would express themselves. "
If its not used by native speakers, why learn it this way? Maybe they could understand you if you spoke like this, but you would be unlikely to understand them without the need to speak to you as if you were 4 years old.
