I originally did the boxes a couple of years ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/ArtFundamentals/comments/6v92gg/250_box_challenge/dsbe2tm/?context=3
But I had a long break and was told by Uncomfortable to do 50-100 boxes to get in the groove again. So here are 100 additional boxes. I'm looking forward to getting them critiqued.
Love your line work, shows effort and patience! A couple times the boxes diverged away from the front corner, making the box appear like a pyramid with the tip cut off, ex: 302 and 303. Some other diverge, which I place in the notes in case you want to look over them. Love that 328 has a back corner in line with the front edge, which shows confidence to trust your instinct.
Also your focus on the hatching shows results! I think you're ready to move onto lesson 2 and I'm going to mark this complete. I'm in your cohort, so I could be wrong. Hopefully others will chime in if so!

Notes:
304 diverging back plane
302, 303 diverging top plane
258 diverging front plane
nice hatching!!
260, 348, 349 diverging back corner
349 top plane converges quickly
Super solid line work!
328 nice! Not afraid to put back corner on top of other edges!
Next Steps:
Lesson 2! YEEET!
Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
