Insight into Mary Sues

It isn't the usual 'bash Mary Sue' parody fic. It is a serious take on 'Mary Sue tropes', incorporate it with the universe's reality and taken to logical conclusion, which created an amazing plot by itself.

Most fics bash Mary-Sue fics, but this fic explained Mary Sue for what it was : A wish fulfillment, not necessarily written with evil intention. Let's face it. Most writers who did write Mary Sue are simply doesn't know better.

The writings is good, balancing humor with the dark tone, there's plot twist in the end, and the OC is likeable.

The down side of the fic is probably the narrator sounded annoying to some people, and some 'disturbing' dark part. YMMV, I personally really like the narrator who constantly lampshading things, and for all the dark parts it is still rated T though.

This is still a fanfic though, so it was written with the assumption the reader are familiars with the OP universe. It's probably hard for reader who aren't familiar with One Piece. If it isn't for that, I'll encourage anyone to read this as the Mary Sue insight, which applied to nearly all fandom, not just One Piece.
