Dear world: The Chosen One has arrived, and he's here to kick your ass

Link: The Butterfly Effect

Stumbled across this one through scryer. The writing is pretty solid and the pace seems to be fairly quick as are the updates. The premise is something I haven't seen before, at least not done well. It's 50k words in and the rating might go up based on where the author takes it. It seems like a pretty massive undertaking for a story though.


Rating: 3.5/5



Edit by Minion: Proper formatting

 

The original content is pretty good, but it falls to my personal pet peeve of copying sections of text from the original stories directly.

Edit: Read what's there. 2/5. Readable, but not expecting anything groundbreaking.

 

This fic uses the phrase "establish allies" unironically. Didn't read past that, because I imagine it involves Harry and his slytherin friends tickling each others bollocks with a swan feather due to "wizarding traditions".

Also the whole obliviationg Hagrid because "He's far too loyal to Dumbledore" smacks a bit to much of manipulative!Dumbles.

 

From reading random part of chapter 10 - it includes a standard bad fanon - a senile Dumbledore (""I just can't understand that man," sighed Kingsley. "He used to be so brilliant."").

I am not going to read or rate this but I am not expecting a well written story.
