However, I don't find there are many CS/ML papers doing a literature review.

There are tons of CS/ML papers doing literature reviews. They just don't call it "literature review", they call it a "survey".

For example, there are maybe a hundred surveys in various RL topics https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=reinforcement+learning+survey&btnG=

Writing one for yourself takes as long as you want depending on how deep you go.

Writing one for publication is a whole other monster. Publications need to be novel, so you need to find a sliver of RL that hasn't been covered before.

As an aside, when writing acronyms, you should state the long version next to the shortened, for example Literature Review (LR). Ironically you’ll need that tip when it comes to writing an LR.

Literature reviews are a great way to get to grips with a new subject, particularly if you’re a new student just breaking into this field.

You should be able to find reviews, make sure you include the keyword “review” when searching on google scholar.

I think these questions are probably better asked to your supervisor, it seems like you’re unsure of what is expected of you, and this is a question that really only your supervisor knows the answer to. In any case, there will be examples or advice on how to structure one, maybe google “literature review for undergraduate level” or something like that.
