This is not a good fanfic because the author is very biased towards certain characters. This was my first fanfic that is why I was able to read more than 1400 chapters. Honestly there are better author insert fics of harry potter out there. The problem with this novel as I said are the characters, like any good novel, Harry Potter is all about the characters they are complex the author for lack of a good word butchered them, Harry does not get any screen time even less than Ron. Ron on the other hand is shown as the dumbest wizard to ever have existed, he does not learn and is used for creating conflict by the author, in the novels he had redeeming qualities in this one he has none, as for Hermione she is also warped for the worst, the author has a strange obsession with either the character or the actress, she is turned into a female cliche always described as blushing, adorable, small and petite. MC Ivan is not interesting he is either all knowing a typical mary sue or very subdued. He plans ahead, does things that are are very Chinese light novel like, he is a fan of the series and knows a lot of obscure information a casual reader like myself would not know (I read all the novel once about 5 yrs back and have not watched all the movies) but forgets information that is easily remembered, asks redundant questions that he should already know because when the original content of the novel plays out there is a need for him to say something otherwise he feels out of place. He does not match well with the trio that is why the author generally separates him and Hermione from Ron and Harry.The extra content the author writes is not good, the evil good thing is very xianxia like and with talks about higher/different worlds and magic rule (like laws or dao in xianxia), the characters such as Elaine are very one dimensional. I usually skip the parts where he travels to the different vestiges and such, those parts are quite boring.The love story is not good and cringy with about dozens of moments where the MC and Hermione are in awkward situations for eg- Spoiler
when Hermione is in his bed as a cat trapped inside his clothes and l**ked his chest and later he now as a cat l**ked her neck or some shit. As I was reading that I laughed hysterically but still it was quite disturbing.
[collapse]Reading this novel at times it feels like the MC is friends with Harry and Ron because of Hermione as there are very few interactions between Harry and him and at times through the author or the MC you would feel hostility towards Ron as a character.
