Honestly, I had my doubts as fanfiction is not really my thing as I prefer original works and even world hopping webnovels which reference real world fiction puts me off. But as an old Yu-Gi-Oh fan this was just the nostalgia hit for me. It mixes the (cringe?) comedic style of writing of Chinese webnovels with well thought out duels reminiscent of the original anime.Sure some the characters don't act exactly as we expect them as the novel doesn't play them for straight, but it's highly entertaining as the author is faithful to the original events of the work. It's clear the author is a big fan and did his research, he uses a variety of cards some from the real TCG and others from the anime, there's even an in-universe explanation for how main characters are able to draw exactly what they want. He further pokes fun at some of the plot holes of the original anime and how unreasonable some of the cards were.I recommend reading if you were a fan of the original card game and animation and don't mind the casual, almost gag comedy, style of writing and commentary.
