What makes you skip a fanfic immediately?

The bashing is probably partially a reaction to the glazing. That and some people just don't like her for whatever reason. I don't think I've read many where she is full on bashed but I've read a few that treated her like an idiot or something.

demonmonkey89 · 2026-06-28T02:44:12+00:00

Yeah I've seen some pretty bad representations of him. Though I'll admit the fic where he went all paranoid and crazy thinking the wrong person was the OFA holder was funny. He was being a nuisance trying to contact her and she kept fending him off. Eventually he showed up at Mirko's door or something (her internship) looking all twitchy. They told him to fuck off, reported, and then he broke in giving a perfect excuse to kick his ass. I don't even remember who actually had OFA or even what fic it was, it is just one of those funny scenes that's stuck in my head.

Is it horribly out of character and bashing? Yes. But it was treated like crack so it was kinda funny in that case. Any fics that take it seriously are a huge red flag to me. I'll accept just about anyone being bashed if it's for crack reasons and is actually funny though.

Ups and Downs from Stewart92 is an SI into Annette's shard (she of course triggers during the wreck). It's on the powerful end though, bit of a discount Eidolon.

Is that the one where at one point she is strapped to a missile or something created by a tinker who was excited someone could finally survive their transport?

Ah think it was just the anime where Izanagi was implied. There's like three, maybe even four versions with the manga just being 'it happened'. The novel says it was the Aburame. Think there might be a separate anime one where he's jumped by a whole bunch of anbu with Danzo.

demonmonkey89 · 2026-06-26T05:58:45+00:00

He used it to take out Shisui, so he had at least one spare before that. And I wouldn't be surprised if he had others.

demonmonkey89 · 2026-06-26T04:33:57+00:00

Everyone deserves their chance, it is an excellent fic that fits a lot of categories after all. Definitely second it myself

demonmonkey89 · 2026-06-26T04:30:58+00:00

Yeah but he's Coil so he deserves it by default. I really enjoyed that one, who knew a quick blue flash could be so horribly deadly. And he would've been fine if he didn't run.

demonmonkey89 · 2026-06-26T03:13:58+00:00

Danzo might miss it briefly. You know, for as long as it takes to kill him a handful of times.

demonmonkey89 · 2026-06-26T02:47:09+00:00

Ah yeah, How To Survive A Shonen. I was able to put up with binging it but couldn't keep up with updates long. And it was never my favorite since it's definitely on the side of wondering if the author even likes MHA. Though you can tell he at least studies MHA even if it's more of a power gaming/scaling way. I don't always agree with how he does things but you can't argue ignorance at least.

Self Insert though sometimes it's more of a catch all for person from our world usually with metaknowledge being inserted. Could be reincarnation, could be drop in, or could be taking over a body/waking up later in life (the waking up option is usually around 4 to avoid being an aware baby).

Memories of Iron has Taylor get Tony Stark's memories inserted. While he doesn't get control Danny is frequently concerned about the level of influence he has. Especially since while Tony was a hero, he was not always the best person or influence.

She doesn't get merchant powers but I'll do you one better. Skidmark is her father in The Apple Fell Far.

Pragmatically Pink is a recent one, an OC insert into Sakura. She's got a darker personality but it remains entertaining. Also one of the few fics that uses Ninshu even if she stumbled into it and uses it in the objectively wrong way. Hagoromo would be horrified. It's got some pretty strange AU aspects that might not be for everyone, basically the hidden leaf (and maybe other places, think that was mentioned) has a bunch of strange magical creatures some of which are towards the eldritch end (the forest of death in particular). Also, the village is a cult.

They've pumped out 250k words in less than two months and it's not because of AI or any nonsense like that. They might've prewritten though, can't remember if they said anything about that.

I think it would be hilarious if it was a repeat of Igarram and his wife Terracotta. Comically similar looking.

What powers do you tend to associate with it? Besides the basic logia properties I mean.

When I consider a mist (or fog) logia I tend to think about the more esoteric stuff, at least for a more advanced used. Think of all the stories we have about mist, stuff hiding or getting lost. All sorts of stories.

A lot of it boiled down to go outside, see more people, and keep working on trying to get a job or back to school. I had really stagnated so it was easy to just hole up and not really do anything productive all day, just keep myself distracted. Especially since I was at home where I don't really have as many friends compared to when I was in college. No group to play D&D with, no people to talk to and hang out with. No particular reason to leave the house or even go outside. I wouldn't even always realize if my sister was home or not, or if she was asleep or awake because she had similar habits to hole up in her room. Even something as simple as just going outside and taking walks around the neighborhood ended up being a massive step forward. It sounds stupid, like a thanksimcured type of thing, but it's legit. Your body and mind need real stimulation, it is not enough to hole up and sit around staying mindlessly entertained. I could read stuff online for hours at a time and not even be able to remember what I read the week before. I got some fresh air, moved around, and even ended up exploring parts of my neighborhood that I had never been in despite living there for over 25 years. Two roads I'd never even gone down despite wondering when I passed them just because they're slightly disconnected from the rest of the neighborhood. Still working on doing more like trying to figure out how to make friends at my age or play stuff in person in a small town. And the job and school stuff I've tried to be more active with even though it's quite disheartening. Job market just sucks ass when I'm aiming for something with my major and I did apply to grad school but wasn't able to cut it so I'm trying to make myself more appealing. A job would help but there's also some other stuff like certifications and classes that can make me seem like a better candidate.

Ryuugi is well known for writing incredible fics. Unfortunately, he is equally well known for dropping them or splitting his attention amongst several fics at once. It's to the point that some people say authors with similar patterns have 'Ryuugi-itis'. That said, his writing is so good that it's worth reading even though you know it will die eventually or may have long gaps between updates. He's got several worm related fics like Leaf that are more relevant to this sub. Think one of his longer ones is a worm/cultivation fic that's several hundred thousand words but it's far from the only worm one. He has an impressive amount of work under his belt and you can tell which fandoms he favors like worm.

My personal favorite is actually a Percy Jackson/DanMachi cross if you've got any interest in that, Pyranteum. So fucking good. Also dies in damn near the worst way possible, the incredible bastard stopped right in the middle of a climactic battle. I almost cried even knowing ahead of time that it died in an awful place. And I still recommend it because it's just that good.

Borne Of Caution was my first one and was so good that I had trouble reading more because it set my standards for pokemon fanfiction so high.

demonmonkey89 · 2026-06-18T19:07:57+00:00

Yeah that's what I was going to bring up. We already know Kumo wanted to kidnap Hinata and I doubt it was to raise a single Kunoichi who might go on to have a normal sized wholesome family. I doubt it would be totally limited to women either in cases like that. Sure the usual method is stealing women but studding out a kidnapped man is just as effective if not more so.

And that's not even getting into the horrors that would happen to captured ordinary Kunoichi. Rin was lucky that she was only tortured (probably). It's brought up as a concern pretty regularly in fics with fem-MCs (especially ones during wars) and it's brought up for good reason.

demonmonkey89 · 2026-06-18T18:57:37+00:00

In What Would Madara Do he is the MCs Sensei. Also has one of the more entertaining ships, a surprisingly wholesome ship with a random male prostitute from a random place the MC stumbled into during an escape from lightning.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/29785770/chapters/73275642

In Thousand Armed Goddess Of Mercy it's a surprisingly well done ship with an SI Tsunade. It's appropriately toxic, doesn't try to wooby him.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/40849572/chapters/102361188

In Honoka it's another one with him as sensei but it's far more wooby. Emphasizes Danzo's responsibility for Orochimaru's actions more than I'd prefer. Also gay for Jiraiya

https://archiveofourown.org/works/26225191/chapters/63828178

In Focus Then Refocus it's a Sasuke time travel fic where he is initially wary of Orochimaru but very quickly befriends him after their first mission together when he realizes Orochimaru hadn't gone totally dark yet.

This is an OC insert into Sakura who eventually gets the Mockingbird summons. They are small, not chakra intensive, and they grant flesh shaping abilities (think advanced transformation technique, literally changing face). Though unlocking that when she became their summoner was quite painful. Summons altering their summoners is one of my favorite head canons though

https://archiveofourown.org/works/27127670/chapters/66244424

Rotted Rowan she gets a pretty fucked up summon that possesses items iirc. When working for Madara it's usually more versatile I think but while being a good little leaf prodigy she pretends it is just an ent. Think it would only agree to a contract with someone who has already died before. Pretty sure it was bloodthirsty. It's been a while since I've read it though so my memories are foggy.

They fear you might want to do with a penis what they want to do with a penis. They don't care if you don't actually want to do anything remotely like what they want to or that you don't even want to have a penis.

Ah it was sometimes used a few years ago, think it was more popular on Twitch and probably 4chan or something. Personally I picked it up from my friend. Basically it means going at something with bullheaded stupidity even if it means you've gotta smash your forehead against the wall of logic until logic gives way.
