This starts out okay, even if it's melodramatic as all hell and about 90% Fandom-Specific Plot tropes (Inko being a retired villain, Deku being an absolutely insane level quirk analyst, quirk discrimination in the flavor and depth of X-Men, villain rehab class etc.) by weight. That's not necessarily bad, and a fic that can handle that well and in an interesting way has a lot of potential. Unfortunately, this gets boring fast. For one, despite all the changes, the Stations of the Canon are not diverged from one bit. For example, in the battle trial, Inasa replaces Bakugou. But the battle that ensues is the same as canon, down to Midoriya using All for One and Inasa's blast to blow up the fifth floor so that Ochako can do the same 'special move' as canon. At least the battle in canon gives Izuku some character development.
Which is a nice segue into the other major problem, that it becomes less a plot and more riding Deku's dick. He can do no wrong, teachers treat him like a professional hero from literally day one, he's crazy powerful due to training off screen, he rescued Eri off screen two years before the fic begins, etc. (His only 'flaw' so far is that he doesn't believe in how amazing he is- not even his canon naivete, recklessness, or social anxiety) I ended up giving up after the sports festival arc because it was just too annoying and, frankly, boring as all fuck. There was a ton that could have been done with this, but instead all we get is Deku Sue's Adventures in Beating Up Cartoon Villains.
Fanfic Meh
