trash!

The author decides that things work just because he wants them to, not because they’re believable! The main character's acting is terrible... I hate when authors tell their story to the characters in the book instead of to the readers. They're not trying to convince us, the audience, just the fictional characters... And then the way the others believe or react so easily ruins the whole novel. For highly trained ninjas, ready to die for their mission, seeing them lose their composure after just two sentences—seriously? A trash novel. The author forces us to accept the credibility of the main character’s actions instead of making them feel believable. And for me, it just doesn’t work. Rating: 1/5

even a two-year-old could write something better.

The author attempts to recreate iconic scenes from the original work, but without understanding their emotional power. The connection between the characters is rushed, lacking in any form of construction. Nami gives her trust and reveals her story after 30 minutes of meeting, simply because "that's how it is in the original." But without the lived experience, without the doubts, without the tensions, everything feels empty, forced, and incoherent. Either you take the time to build a relationship, or you adopt a quick dynamic and develop it later—but here, it's just poorly digested emotional copy-and-paste. And that ruins everything.

edit: The author created a 3-minute time limit when the MC unlocks the 6-path mode with Shion's special chakra, but on the other hand, Madara can last as long as the MC (after the MC trained for 6 months to be able to use it longer) without any training... The author no longer makes any effort to explain this crappy boost that completely ruins the novel, and then the fights, they were never his strong point and even less so now. Mini-Critique: The Author’s Heavy Hand Systematic Hero Sabotage Whenever the MC earns an advantage (Tenseigan, Six Paths mode, etc.), the author instantly hands an equal or greater power-up to the villain—often through a random “cosmic coincidence.” Instead of suspense, this produces a perpetual reset: readers soon expect the cheat and emotionally check out. Free Rewards for the Antagonist Madara’s upgrades arrive with no quest or cost—one casual gesture, and an ancient inheritance unlocks. These unearned gifts undermine the world’s own rules; why explain chakra mechanics if they’re ignored whenever “re-balancing” is needed? Destroyed Dramatic Tension Real tension comes from legitimate uncertainty. Here, the MC’s setbacks are guaranteed by narrative decree; we stop fearing for him and start resenting the author. The story feels like a rigged game where the hero is never allowed a clean win. Stalled Character Growth Forced resets mean the MC keeps starting over. Key milestones—discovering Six Paths methods, reaching the moon, etc.—lose emotional weight because they’re sure to be “cancelled” next chapter. Verdict: Though the world is rich and the protagonist initially compelling, the author’s heavy-handed “balancing” shatters internal logic and replaces genuine tension with predictable frustration. Readers drift away not because the story is poorly written, but because it refuses to reward the intelligence and effort it so carefully depicts.

The author just speedruns the entire One Piece story, stripping it of any depth, weight, or soul — and worse, adds a completely useless OC whose only role is to tag along with Luffy like a bootleg script reader from the future. Every Straw Hat’s meaningful journey? Gone. Replaced by, “Hey, join us,” and that’s it. That’s disrespectful, lazy, and pathetic. This isn’t a reimagining — it’s a bastardization. The OC sucks the life out of the crew. Luffy isn’t Luffy. Zoro’s a cardboard cutout. Everything feels hollow because it is hollow. This isn’t a tribute — it’s a hijacking by someone who clearly doesn’t understand a damn thing about One Piece. One star? That’s a joke. This deserves negative stars, a warning label, and a permanent ban from touching fanfiction ever again. Garbage like this should be studied as a case of what not to do.

I fail to see the point in crafting a main character that is essentially a near-identical copy of Gildarts. This isn’t inspiration, it’s simply blatant plagiarism.
