I did not like.

[Tushar Thakur · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book has everything that gives fanfics a bad name. After reading this I can now see why most people would avoid reading fanfics of any IP. So all characters are completely different from their canon counterparts and behave in a way that reeks of self-insert power fantasy indulgence. I should also mention that Deathly Hallows is not canon and Harry spends some 6-7 years hunting Voldemort's horcruxes while learning to be an extremely powerful wizard. And he uses his insane feats of wizardry to fuel his life of excess and extreme debauchery. While it's occasionally funny, most of the jokes are edgy and more often than not cringy. The penultimate chapter sheds all pretence of cohesive narrative and is pure unadulterated erotica.

Mistakes were made, I should have stopped reading a few chapters in, but my morbid curiosity won out and now I am stuck with vivid visual imagery of Harry with the entire female cast of HP canon save for his now alive mum. So there's a silver lining I guess.

Wow, This sure was a fun ride...
10 years after Harry defeating Voldemort, gets sucked into a parralel dimension where he is reunited with Sirius and boy-oh-boy they have some serious fun after that. They are like a couple of Nundus after a pitcher of Firewhiskey.... Its hell of a fun ride and the fun that these guys have feels well deserved...
However in some parts its a little too crass but overall a joyride like bo other HP fanfic...
If NonJon can just build onto this universe and help us with further fun exploits of the duo...

The most dreadful and poorly written book I ever finished. No consistency in characters, overpowered protagonists, lack of conflict. Absurdly sexist, becoming amateur porn-level at times, with all female characters wanting or talking about being sex with protagonists.
I guess I miss the universe too much if I was willing to finish this.
The only real significance for me is a connection to HPMoR fanfic through some characters and ideas.

Quite funny. A good exploration of how power can allow someone to totally avoid any accountability to the world, and what that does to such a person's psychology.

This crackfic is a perfect example of how some books age about as well as unpasteurised milk. The humour reads as though it was written by a teenager who considers themselves ‘edgy’ – it’s racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, exploitative, and unashamedly misogynistic. But I did laugh out loud a few times, so there is that. Plus, the plot involving ‘That Fucker’ was genuinely entertaining. If you like dick jokes, fart jokes, burp jokes, and punch-down humour, you’ll probably love this book. If you find that kind of humour cringe-worthy, the first few chapters will have you running a mile.

This is one of my absolute favorites! I’ve read this at least 6 times.

[Violeta · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of my favorite fics of all times. Never fails to make me laugh.

[RavenT · Rating 3 out of 5]

Fairly amusing; would give this 2. stars if I could. (Drunken behavior isn't really that funny to me.)

Probably closer to 4.5 than 5.

Great comedy, with really cool new magic, a great plot, great warding head cannon and lots of creative execution of ideas. A little too OOC but otherwise perf.

Dec 2022 Review:
3.5 Stars

I still hate this style of humor/storytelling but it does develop plot eventually. The plot and the unique ideas in this fanfic were enough to make this worth reading. You just have to endure until you actually hit enough plot for the mysteries to draw you in.

I still don’t recommend reading this if you don’t like the humor. As entertaining as parts of this was, it was still a task to complete it.

1 Star

The type of comedy that has to insert humor rather than being naturally (actually) funny. Nonstop 'humor' and general idiocy is making me drop this.
