* Comments: This is probably both the most original [[LightNovel/TheFamiliarOfZero ZnT]] crossover and [[Webcomic/TheGamer The Gamer]] crossover at the same time. Instead of an overpowered familiar to solve all her problems, Louise instead gains an ability that can master any skill and become insanely powerful extremely quickly, but because she's from a [[MedievalEuropeanFantasy Medieval Fantasy World]] and doesn't even know what the game in gamer is referring to and thus lacks the knowledge that other crossover have used to make The Gamer overpowered at the start of the story.

* Comments: Imagine a story that combines all the zany harem antics of Manga/RanmaOneHalf with the zany harem antics of ''LightNovel/TheFamiliarOfZero''; that's Zero Interface. While the story has plenty of dramatic and awesome moments, the real draw is the comedy. Especially when Ranma's curse changes from turning into a female version of himself to [[spoiler:turning into whichever woman he kissed last]] and Louise getting an empathetic link with Ranma. So if say, Ranma has lustful thoughts towards someone, so does Louise.

* Comments: Many have said that a part of what makes [=FoZ=] fanfics BetterThanCanon is that Louise summons a character that does not put up with her attitude. This is one such story. Undyne is just fantastic: she's not afraid to speak her mind, especially when she sees someone being abused while also being amazed at the surface world and being a huge dork who accidentally breaks almost everything she touches and carries Sylphid around to show off her strength. This story is definitely worth a read.
